How to paint Raised Detail - Scale Modelling

Should I worry about spilling the paint?

Now that looks nice ! Thanks for the tip

Nice technic! Thank you very much!👍🏻

👍🏻 ok

why you use enamel instead of X acrylic tamiya? whats the difference?

Do you need to add primers before painting these small parts?

great approach, thanks for sharing. One question, at the beginning you comment that the enamel was to cover all the parts. So did you paint the whole part first, then the detail, followed by the wash. or as the part bare when you started?

Love this video! What an artist you are. You sound so humble too.

So much so that I am now a subscriber!

Looking forward to reviewing your other videos and learning much before I start my next project. I’m just getting back into the hobby after many years away so finding wonder in the builders, constructors and artists who now populate this hobby. What a great time to get back!

what brush did you use for this?
excellent tips im learning so much!

I just did that same Skyline kit and had a hell of a hard time with that valve cover. Those little areas between the sparkplugs don't hold the color as well as you'd think, but I did mine in red.

Great tutorial. The result looks proffesional.👍

Amazing, thank you!

You can also lay down the silver over the whole thing you have the lettering to be in acrylic then paint the grey over the top of that with enamel then dampen the cotton bud with thinner and rub over the raised detail lettering and the acrylic will show through perfectly without the need for used washes that leave tide marks

You could always drybrush those details on or take a piece of plasticard and put paint on the edge to get the details without much mess. Jun's Mini Garage does this quite often

Turned out great! But:
1- How the heck do you NOT get the wash color all over the top of everything when you're not wiping as you go? (I've done tons of washes, and it ALWAYS darkens EVERYTHING even with wiping, let alone NOT quickly wiping excess)

2- How the heck are you going back later and rubbing it with paint thinner without removing all the paint? This isn't making sense in my brain. Lol

Thanks for the tips why use separate brushes

2023 just came across this but thank you. Very good work you do. Thanks.

Out-freakin'-standing! I've got to try this; thanks much.

What size brush?

I don't know why but all the types of paint are mind boggling, and im a handyman! I only know oil and water based paint, which is acrylic i think, anyway awesome job looks like you used oil and acrylic to achieve the results

You're awesome man that is so cool

Very nice! Thank you for sharing this.

Okay

Thank you very much 👍👍👍

so whatever type of paint used to do the raised parts wash with the same type thinner or opposite type?

Some great tips!

Straight and to the point commentary. Thank you...

So really good eyesight and a steady hand. Well that leaves me out.

Thanks mate for doing this. Wish I’d seen this years ago.

What kind of chrome on the tranny.

so the key is to paint the main part in enamels and then details in acrylic - am I correct?

Why did you start with a UK accent that changed to an American accent? Weird.

Have a technique for someone with hand tremors?

What is your experience and suggestions on painting ON the sprue or OFF the sprue?

Nice video! Great job.😎

It was a bit difficult to really see the capillary action because you kept pushing the piece off to the right out of the camera focus and into the lamp glare, but I did find the technique interesting. I would have tried to paint the whole piece first and then the raised area but this made it look real easy using the wash method. :)

WoW what amazing skills thank you

With all the touchups, isn't it better to just paint the details more carefully?

Please place your item being painted in the CENTER of the frame!!!

is the key to use enamel and acryl or would this be possible with acryl colours only as well? How do i get acryl colour to wash in like a panel line colour? i tried with thinner but didn't work?

Ayyyye, just wanted to let you know this info is being appreciated 4 years later. 👍

also could have some paint on a flat piece of cardstock and lightly press on the piece to be painted

So what is the color your just mentioning the #.

Interesting tutorial, thanks for sharing. Very appreciated.

I work with markers and ink pens, but this really seems useful!

Brilliant

I really like you tutorial are very useful
