Panel Line weathering video up on Youtube
Posted by the doog on Thursday, October 20, 2016 4:21 PM

Hi everyone,

Recently I posted up some 1/144 Russian Migs that I finished and some guys remarked on the panel line shading that I did in such a small scale. I wanted to let ya know that I've been doing some work for Testor's Corporation, and recently had a video on panel lines put up on their Youtube channel. If you would like to check it out, here it is: Hope you enjoy it! Smile

Hey Karl, I checked it out. Thanks for the info, I had little or no idea how you did the Migs. Good presentation also. Keep up the good work.

That is an excellent tutorial video Karl. I found some very helpful tips from you. Thank You for taking the time to make it. Question for you, have you found any plastics that react unfavorably to testors thinner?

Thank you, Joe!
 You shouldn't have any problems at alll with Testors' thinnner reacting with any plastic at all; it's basically just an enamel thinner. Some "Mineral spirits" and other petroleum-based generic thinners may react with plastics if the are trapped next to the plastic for too long, like when I build a tank and weather the tracks with a wash of mineral spirits and oil paint--sometimes it attacks the glue points--but I've never had a reaction with Testors' stuff. It's made for modeling! :)

Thanks for responding Karl. Yea, I honestly did not think so.  Yet, I was curious when one starts applying solvent based thinners liberally onto plastic. Every once in a while you might find that particular manufacturer's plastic that just seems to have a an adversion to some solvents.

Great video Karl. I have a metal body Aztec in my drawer that I've never used. Maybe I need to break it out. I love your General Lee as well..

I have 2 metal and 2 plastic.  It's the only airbrush I have ever used. I is very easy for newbies like me to clean and use.  Plus whenever I've had any issues Testors support has been fantastic

Yeah, that's true, but I havent' had much of a problem yet with any "normal" manufacturers that I have built. Also, properly applied, this is going over paint, not plastic per se, and then it should be sealed.

Hey, thanks, lawdog. I appreciate that. I gave that General Lee to my brother in law for a birthday gift. :)

I'm still learning the Aztek; it's quite versatile and I think I'm going to love it when I learn all of its idiosyncrasies. :)

Glad to hear that you're liking it and that Testors has been treating you right. They're a wonderful bunch of people as I'm learning so far, working with them. :)

Very nice clear video Karl. 

 

I've never used this technique in all my aircraft modeling, but I'm going to attempt it on my 1/48th V22 Osprey, which is a larger transport plane. If you can do it in this small scale, I'll have no excuses on this model. Lol.  The cleaning technique could come in handy as well for a first timer.

The plane painted in the video,  did you go back and do another thin coat or was that one coat just enough?  The planes look great. I love the look.

Thanks for the video, Always love your enthusiasm Karl.

Outstanding Karl, I will defiantly give that a try with my F-8.

Thanks, Wilbur! I appreciate your comments! :)

I did the one thin coat and then eyeballed it after a day and then added anywhere that I thought needed a little more. You should go light first and then let it dry--the way you will perceive it will change when the paint has time to set up and dry. Better to "nudge" it on little by little than to cover too much and then you'll have a nightmare trying to match new lines with the faded ones.
