Star Wars Studio Scale 1/4 Speeder Bike Paint blog 1

In this video I’ll be using the ‘Hairspray’ chipping technique with Archive-X acrylic paints on a studio scale Speeder bike

Thanks for doing this video as I only asked the question about chipping on the archive x Facebook page the other week

Michel Bondo Hansen....see, he throws his models around as well! He just doesnt drop kick them like i do.

[@johnsimmonsscalemodelling5270]

Ha! I’ll try and be more careful 🤣 drop kick them lol. Actually that could be a good idea for a competition….paint a model using your feet

[@050572robert]

@John Simmons Scale Modelling yes, Michel never let me forget i dropped the bomber, and as I tried to catch it I drop kicked it further

I have always wanted to try that chipping fluid, specifically the AK one you used as I have some of that. But, even with that fluid or hair spray, have you ever had it affect the paint long term or does it evntaully 'stabalize' ? I have always wondering if it afected the paint at all down the road.
Also, great weathering as always. I feel the same way about weathering some times, I start in on a project and think to myself, okay, don't go too heavy... and before I know it the model looks like it was just pulled out of the swamps of Dagobah :)

No once it sets up it’s pretty bulletproof. I used it a lot back in the day with armour models and I never had any issues. And yeah knowing when to stop weathering is a skill of it’s own!
