Hairspray chipping - scale model weathering tutorial
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 06. 2019
- In this plastic model weathering tutorial I am going to show you my take on the hairspray chipping technique. I am going to do a two stage chipping which will reveal both the metal skin an the primer of the air plane.
In the video I am "overdoing" the effect so I can better demonstrate the technique.

What a brilliant technique! You demonstrated it well. I am going to try this out to reveal rust under the paint.
Thank you for sharing this information with your fellow modelers. Much appreciated. You are definitely an artist.
I find this content so beneficial to us modelers.
Thanks for your feedback mate 👍
You are a true master. A very useful video with clear instructions. It shows the realism of the effect is awesome!
Thanks mate :)
Thank you for going into detail about this, especially the multi-layered approach.
This is something that's sadly often overlooked, just like building up multiple shades for grime details.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, I have just started to try this technique myself and your video will save a lot of trial and error. Great work 😀😀.
Thanks mate, still would recommend testing on a scrap detail.
Dear friend! Thank you for an interesting way to achieve such an effect as the influence of weather conditions on the paint layer of the aircraft! I wish you creative success and good luck!!!
Thank You very much mate!
Thanks. I used to use the salt technique but I'll try this on my Hurricane 2D.
Yes the salt works too but the result is different in appearance IMO. Both techniques have their place in the toolbox.
Always wondered how you did 2 colours........thanks! Great job and video
Thanks mate 🍻👍
I love the data on content . Thanks a lot.
Thanks James!
going to do just this on all my next projects!
Haha, me too. F4U1-D and you?
Great work buddy! 🍻👍
thanks mate 🍻👍
Thats really nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
another very informative video.
Thanks mate
May I give you a few constructive comments ?
- 1:07 Yes, you HAVE to use acryllics, since they can become softer when wetted with water. Oil based paints barely react to water.
- When the paint has worn off, the bare aluminium is now exposed to the elements. Lookt at pictures of real airplanes with worn parts. The metal is matt and greyish.
Therefor, add matt white or matt grey to the matt aluminium (like Revell 99) for a more realistic look.
Only freshly damaged metal will shine. But it will very soon turn matt.
(Just some info, for what it's worth.)
Having that said, you make excellent videos with clear examples and explanations. A worthy addition to our hobby !
Thank you !!!
Thanks for your feedback, I have some further info:
- according to many people over at "the scale modeling critique group" in FB, lacquers are good to use as well.
- yes that's correct, but I show only the chipping technique and the subsequent weathering is up to the modeller. My way of doing things is to do things brighter in the beginning and then mute everything with the weathering.
Once again thanks for your comments. I believe discussions as this lead us all into better understanding of the techniques we use.
I know what you mean. On a 1:72 scale model this shiny silver, of which only a tiny bit is exposed, soon becomes dull when washes and filters (weathering) are applied. I rarely build such small models. I mainly build 1:48, 1:32 and larger. And then you have to be careful not to use shiny silver, it soon becomes too apparent.
This info is actually meant for our viewers, since I know that some of them tend to overdo things. Keep it simple and subdued. Don't overdo it. Less is more, especially in 1:32 scale. ;-)
@@telescopereplicator Yup, it's rather easy the get carried over.
Great job
繊細な作業ですね。
私は、やり過ぎてしまうので、とても参考になりました。
Thanks, it is overdone so I can better demonstrate the technique :)
Hello Mr. Metodiev - great video, as usual, thanks! a question if i may ; don't you have any video on how to weather wooden aircraft ? Mosquito, MiG 3 ,etc. this should be quite different than weathering metal skins...
Thanks mate 👍 I don't have any videos for wooden aircraft as I haven't buy one so far. I think that the weathering would be the same , with different base colour (wood)
Great video thanks friends
Thanks for visiting
Amazing! Thx
You are welcome!
Много полезно👍👍👍
Excellent job of detailing.
Way too much work for me, I remember just using a paint brush to paint my models ranging from 1/72 to 1/32 and hand applying the "chipping" effect.
Bravo to you though!
Thanks mate!
Hi! Can you tell me with what can be cleaned the airbrush after the use of airspray? Thanks!
Water, hairspray is made to be dissolved by water.
So it seems that you spray all your surface with the hair-spray and then you concentrate on the areas you want to achieve the chipping effect. How do you ensure that the colored areas which have hair-spray underneath won't get damaged or start peeling off?
When I am done I cover everything with a layer of lacquer varnish.
how long after the paint layer before you start chipping
Depends on the paint and the strength of the hairspray. Cant tell really, you'll have to test how it works with your products.
Please tell me! How long to wait for the varnish to dry? And how long to wait for the paint to dry after applying it to the varnish, so that you can start processing it with a brush according to your method? Thanks!
First lets clarify, it is not varnish but hairspray. Drying time of the paint is basically the time needed for the paint to become touch dry.
@@MMScaleModels Yes, I'm watching a video about your work. How much time do you give to dry the hairspray and the paint itself after application? Thank you.
is it possible to hairspray multiple layers? i mean i want to make a primer. on the primer metal. on the metal hairspray on it a "secound" primer. since the model, if it was real would be made out of metal and metal needs a primer. and on that hairspray and i final layer of paint..... do you understand what i mean or would that be to much hairspray?
Absolutely possible mate 👍
thx for the fast answer.
Great video thanks but also what is that fabulous music?
Thanks! This time I forgot to put the song name in the video, it is from Ample tunes and the name is "Consuelo". They have a small but very good selection of Free music.
なるほど。勉強になるねぇ～❗✈😲
Go for it mate :)
Hi! I know it's been over a year ago, but I have few questions. At start I'll say I use brush, cant afford the airbrush.
Lets say I put the primer paint in spray, then silver color. After it dry, I put the hairspray and theres first question- do I put it on the whole for example wing, or only at spots I want to chip? And the second one is, after it dry, I will put camo paint and how long should I wait before I start to chip it with brush and water? Should I wait for it to dry fully, or for example- 30 min would be enough?
Sry for wall of text but I am beginner. Hope I'll get answer, and you are doing great job!
Hi
You can apply the hairspray allover or in section. I apply it everywhere i want to chip and then paint.
How long you have to wait depends on your paint. It's gonna be different than with airbrushed paint so I cannot tell. Experiment on some scrap plastic.
Thanks for the answer! I will experiment on my "test model" later and check the results then, thanks once again for replying :)
It seems that you get a very visible texture, is this because of the hairspray or normal? And how does it compare to those scratches effects by ammo or ak. I have the chipping weathering set my try it out because it's a very nice tutorial. Anyway did you know reverse chipping? The chips get applied after camo/decal stage and you remove the final layer rather than your basecoat
The texture is probably due to my painting and specifically the clear coat. I have never used the "modeling" products but I won't be surpriced if it is the same stuff inside. No I havent seen that technique... do you have any links for it?
@@MMScaleModels czcams.com/video/Yjj7tJ9_bt8/video.html
Haven't seen this technique before... but apparently some special product is required for it.
Hello, not sure if you Will respond but how Long after aplication of the hair Spray you can Chip it? My models take me usually 6 months and when i use the fancy absolute chipping from AK it vaporizes after the months:/ does something Like that happen with hair Spray too?
Hi there, i cannot give you an answer cause I haven't left hairspray sitting for so long. I would not suggest more than a week but that's a guess.
I find that within a day after the hairspray is dry and the top coat is dry as well, the color can be chipped. Hairspray can be washed out, is water-soluble and the only problem is that if the top color has dried too much, then the effort for chipping is greater and less controllable. According to various videos, chipping liquids should be processed more quickly because they are less soluble in water.
but this is only my opinion, im a freshman in modeling ;-)
Can I use a acrylic varnish after chipping with this method or is a lacquer varnish needed
You can, probably should not flood the surface though.
@@MMScaleModels i just want to make sure it protects it enough so it the paint job doesn't chip or flake off after a while
I never noticed you put hairspray over the clearcoated primer layer,underneath the camo coat.??
Great video though, i use this technique on mashinen krieger armoured suits.
Thanks, It is at 3:45.
@@MMScaleModels oh yeah!!! I must of been distracted! (I only said it because ive forgot to do it myself in the past!) (More than once!).
What color/ brand did you use for the geen primer?
Interior green from mr.hobby
ok me again, i tried it an waaay to much paint came off, i assume i didnt wait long enough? waited for about 30+ min.....so 1 hour or even 1 day before chipping?
In my experience it is the water quantity, a slightly damp brush should do the trick. Have in mind that not all hairsprays are the same so there is some more variation. An hour should be enough.
Can you cover with Tamiya maskin tape?? Something like invasion stripes..without pull of the color with this hairspray methode ?
Regards to all modellers !
Well, I cannot tell for sure... this will depend on how good of an adhesion you have. The hairspray is only really removable when wet... and sometimes it is not easy.
What was the point of the black primer if you just coat it completely blue in the end. The paint's on much too thick
Aluminium looks better over black
Amazing but How do we do preshading with this method
We don't :)
@@MMScaleModels is there any workarounds
@@Maxtherocketguy you can always get everything else preshade and leave the areas to be chipped without preshading. There is a lot going on there anyways.
@@MMScaleModels ok
how long for the hairspray to dry before yoy apply paint? how long does the paint remain workable until ot doesnt react with water??
The hairspray is dry almost instantly, however it is possible to activate it when you paint the next layer if you apply a wet coat. I think you can reactivate the hairspray after quite a lot of time... as long as water can penetrate the paint over it.
@@MMScaleModels thank you! Great tuturials
will I get the same result if I spray the hairspray directly on the model without doing 0:50?
Whatever works for you mate, that is the important thing.
@@MMScaleModels ?
Yes, you can spray directly from the can/bottle. Let the hairspray dry thoroughly. Then spray your final color. When the color dries, work it with a wet swab, but carefully.
@@lightsone2 Thanks a lot! Will try it today.
Seems I did not get your question. On the topic, you can do it directly from the can, however be careful with the huge amount of material that will land on your model.
Cant you just spray the hair spray from the can straight to the area of the model?
You can but it is very easy to put too much this way. I personally prefer to have control.
What happens if there is too much hairspray?@@MMScaleModels
@@WW2Fr3k well it is a layer of something and it can cover details. Basically the same reason why we use airbrush to paint instead of rattle cans
My issue is it simply waters down my paint and it turns back to liquid. I guess I’m not leaving it long enough to dry
Are youbusing waterbased acrylics?
@@MMScaleModels I guess I was. I was using Model Master paint, I’ve switched to Tamiya and all my issues went away.
@@MaxRank Good to hear your issue is solved
Класс!!!
Thanks mate 👍🍻
Can you just use the can to spray hairspray
You can but there will be too much of it on the model IMO
ok
Приветствую коллега! Рад видеть твой ролилик с субтитрами на русском!!! Это стирает границы между нами! Моделизм не имеет национальности, рассы, и тд. Поучительный ролик👍 респект и уважение! 👍🤣
Hope that google translated the subs somewhat correctly
Why not spray straight out of the hairspray can?
Better control.
You can, but you have so much more control with an airbrush. It comes out of the can so quickly that it's easy to flood your model. If you do use it right from the can, hold the kit an arms length away so you get finer coverage.
Merci !
Thanks you for your support!
@@MMScaleModels Thanks to you, very helpfull
I don't understand, if you are that meticulous, that careful, that detailed removing the hairspray.....why not just paint the chipping and the scratches with a brush instead of all these other steps?
Ecause painted on looks painted on. Not that it is a bad thing but this is a more realistic approach IMO
Don't see the point of the airspray....to me it must be working the same without it....
You are amongst few if I may say so 🙂
you're doing it wrong
