Hi, could you also maybe do a short video about how and when to assemble and put on tank tracks (of the tamiya type maybe?) I know this is a common problem for a lot of beginners (including me) Just an idea, I get it if there is other stuff on your list of priorities :)
Hi Andy, I have just watched your 'white wash' video, and it was very good. I has almost made me want to build something like the panther and try your method. As said by others, many thanks for the great video. Cheers, Les (Australia)
I would like to thank you for this video. You make it look so easy that I'm going to attempt this technique on my latest build, 1/35 Amiya Wirbelwind!! Your tutorials are fantastic and I watch them over and over!!
Great work as usual Andy, can you tell me how long do you wait for the hair spray to dry before spraying the white and then how long do you wait before you start chipping the white, thanks and love your work.
Andy. Brilliant video. I just found this and the information included in it is first class. I did not know you could use water when making a wash so that has given me another avenue to go down. Thanks again Andy.
How long do you wait for the whitewash paint to dry? Do you find the longer it dries the more difficult it is to chip? In my recent tests I've waited about 15 minutes but the paint felt too gummy still when chipping although it did chip.
Andy .... Excellent vid mate, high quality, just how a step by step should be done, loving the realistic look you get with all your Build's, can I ask what camera you are using? has I said the quality make's it so much more easier to see what's going on... cheers mate
Decanting the hairspray and applying with an airbrush gives more control over where it goes. Also, Thinning the white paint with tap water and spraying on in light coats gives a much better fine chipping result. No need for harsh scrubbing which might break off tiny photoetch parts or even worse, scrub through the base coat.
When you say that you add about 20% buff, what is the buff you are talking about. does it mean you thin the paint with thinners ???? Nice effect though and a great tutorial. Thanks
Andy, I've got a question. I've got two small pieces roughly 2" x 1" that will have decals in the center. I'm doing an Arctic three-color camo pattern. I want to make the base color on these two pieces Russian armor green, gloss coat (Future) followed by the decals then another gloss goat (Future). Then use your hairspray technique, apply the colors for the Arctic camo then rub off the arctic pattern color from around the decals showing a little of the green around them like if the vehicle was originally painted green; but the unit was transferred to the northern frontier. See where I'm going with this? The bottom line is I don't want to screw up the decals. Would it be better to put the decals on and gloss coat them then do the hairspray or to just do the hairspray over just the base color then do the decals later?
i actually like to wait for a bit (approx. 10 hours) so the colour dries and then do the chipping. And the hairspray should dry for some time too. Try it out if it works for you, it may be the hairspray but it worked for me :) The effect you get by this is much more chippy-like as you dont get such big areas off - as you could see you were able to remove big areas of white colour without big effort (when the hairspray started to dissolve). Ofcourse if that is what you want, do it, but imo this is worth the try! Also great video, great tutorial!
I do not understand is it a tank in the snow or is it aged? If it is aged, perhaps a thinner layer of white would have allowed the camouflage or insignia to be seen better. You make very good videos, only in this one I think the effect did not turn out as expected
Masterful made and looks has if it came start from the eastern front. Are you going to build any ww2 mobile self propelled guns like the Nashorn or Wespe in the future? :)
Good morning Andy.Very good job indeed.I would like to ask something.After you paint the basic colour (dark yellow with red brown and dark green) what you do?You spray with gloss varnish and then with matt?And when you spray with matt white after how many hours you become this chiping technique?And one last question.You put hairspray with water?Thank you in advance..
+2AKIS21 HI i spray the color seal it with dull coat lacquer let it dry for about 2 hours at least then spray it with hairspray dry for ten minutes then white paint dry for just a few , then start chipping.
Hi Andy. I usually use Lacquer Paint instead of Acrylic Paint (Flat White part). Does it still work the same way with your method? And, does Lacquer Paint give some negative reaction towards Hairspray that we used as undercoat? thanks before,
Hi Andy, having just started modelling I found this really useful and informative, as luck would have it my first build is a panther :) keep up the good work.
Subbed and interesting work. Thanks for giving me the knowledge that I need to get myself some airbrush ready paint. Also. Do you know how to make long time ruined by garage flood water slide decals to work?
I built a T-34/76 long ago and got the bright idea to use talc. Blew it on with a cheapo airbrush and fixed it with dullcote. It actually doesn’t look half bad, but not as good as yours.
great video! tho i have a question. why hair spray? is matt/gloss varnish not gonna work well? other question before scrubbing with tooth brush does the paint need to completely dry or is it literally straight after airbrushing white?
LOOKS AMAZING ( AS ALL THE MODELS DO IN YOUR VIDEOS ) I WAS PLANNING ON TRYING THIS ON A SHERMAN IM BUILDING SOON. WHILE THIS TECHNIQUE STILL WORK WITH SPRAY PAINT, OR BRUSH PAINTING? I DONT HAVE AN AIRBRUSH.. THANX FOR POSTING THESE, IVE LEARNED ALOT BY WATCHING THEM!
Thanks for the great video. I know I am a bit late but I was wondering if you or anybody here knows where to get aftermarket parts for Revell model kits. Specifically the Tiger II is what I am looking for. Thanks for this whitewashing tutorial.
Another trick I have always don with my paints is put a couple of BB's into the bottle for getting the settled paint at the bottom of the bottle. This will always help keep your paints well mixed. You can tell this by the sound the BB's make when you shake the bottle.
I have a question, even though this is a very old video, you mentioned a 20:1 white to buff ratio, what about thinning? did you use any thinner in the white mix? I have heard 30% paint to 70% thinner, is that accurate?
Hi Andy, thanks for a great tutorial on this technique. Really enjoy your videos. Would love to visit your shop but it's a bit of a hike from the U.K. Best wishes, Mark
I remember reading something about first applying acrylic paint and than using salt to get it off. It sounds very interesting, but I don't want to ruin any models because I think out might take the spraypaint off together with the acrylic paint.
Inspiring video Andy! Something for my Wiking and Nordland heavies....and others as well of course! ....at this pace, I'll soon have classical music in the background, while building! 👌👍👏
Looked great until you painted that muck on the tracks, lost the essence of replicating a real machine by making it look like a toy. The old additive is a little is more
+Alan Sheppard it does take great video 1080p at 60 frames a second I started my first videos using a camera found the phone worked better. Thanks, I m glad you like the video.

A great tutorial on both the Tiger 1 & Panther D with how to do the white wash on both models. Thanks Andy. John B. (Australia )
Andy, this is one of your best videos yet. Please keep it up. Thanks
Es ist eine Freude, dir bei der Arbeit zu zusehehn! Danke
Отличное руководство! Спасибо!

YEEES SO HAPPY YOU ARE DOING TUTORIALS :D
Is it possible to do the white layer (first layer after hair spray) using brushes? I'm low on money at the moment and can't afford an airbrush xD
Hi Andy, I have just watched your 'white wash' video, and it was very good. I has almost made me want to build something like the panther and try your method. As said by others, many thanks for the great video.

Masterfully done! I also love your background music. Beethoven's Ninth is my favorite!!
Great work as usual Andy, can you tell me how long do you wait for the hair spray to dry before spraying the white and then how long do you wait before you start chipping the white, thanks and love your work.
Yes yes yes. Exactly what I was looking for!
Andy. Brilliant video. I just found this and the information included in it is first class. I did not know you could use water when making a wash so that has given me another avenue to go down. Thanks again Andy.
Wowwwwwww.. you use the bottom of the model box, for painting. That in it s self is an ART PIECE, and it tell s a story. Very Smart.
How long do you wait for the whitewash paint to dry? Do you find the longer it dries the more difficult it is to chip? In my recent tests I've waited about 15 minutes but the paint felt too gummy still when chipping although it did chip.
Hi Andy. May i say you are the best i know at this.
Can i ask you, do you apply airspray between the winter wash, or just in the first layer?
Andy .... Excellent vid mate, high quality, just how a step by step should be done, loving the realistic look you get with all your Build's,
can I ask what camera you are using? has I said the quality make's it so much more easier to see what's going on... cheers mate

My favorite demo of both the hairspray technique as well as a great pin wash! Super method and super control! Thanks for such a thorough demo!
When you say that you add about 20% buff, what is the buff you are talking about. does it mean you thin the paint with thinners ???? Nice effect though and a great tutorial. Thanks
buff is a tamiya colour of paint u think it is xf 57 buff

Would this work with a rattle can of white instead of an airbrush?
It should but you would have to use a very thin layer so the chipping fluid or hair spray could still be activated
i actually like to wait for a bit (approx. 10 hours) so the colour dries and then do the chipping. And the hairspray should dry for some time too. Try it out if it works for you, it may be the hairspray but it worked for me :)

nice.
+Clayton McClain thank you
Great Informative Video! One thing... I would find a different music arrangement.
Excellent. Thank you for the tutorial. I plan to give this a try on the T-34 I'm working on.
Thanks again.
fantastic video
thanks to this video you have enspired me to purchase that tamiya early tiger,
I do not understand is it a tank in the snow or is it aged? If it is aged, perhaps a thinner layer of white would have allowed the camouflage or insignia to be seen better. You make very good videos, only in this one I think the effect did not turn out as expected
Great effect thank you for sharing this with us.

+Panzer JagerThank you I might be doing the Nashorn soon
Andy, great videos and techniques but Stauss gotta go!11
SUPER job on the video and the model. I think it's the best I've seen.Thanks for sharing your talents and techniques.
+Patrick Canter Thank you.
Excellent. I am impressed with how easy you make it look. Best tutorials.
When to apply the white paint? When to start scrubbing?
Good morning Andy.Very good job indeed.I would like to ask something.After you paint the basic colour (dark yellow with red brown and dark green) what you do?You spray with gloss varnish and then with matt?And when you spray with matt white after how many hours you become this chiping technique?And one last question.You put hairspray with water?Thank you in advance..
+2AKIS21 HI i spray the color seal it with dull coat lacquer let it dry for about 2 hours at least then spray it with hairspray dry for ten minutes then white paint dry for just a few , then start chipping.
Ok Andy thank you.
Absolutely incredible Andy. Thank you for posting.
Hay Andy one question. Does it matter what kind of hair spray to use. to do your weathering?
no any type will work
That was fast. Thank you.
Hi Andy. I usually use Lacquer Paint instead of Acrylic Paint (Flat White part). Does it still work the same way with your method? And, does Lacquer Paint give some negative reaction towards Hairspray that we used as undercoat? thanks before,
Hi Andy, having just started modelling I found this really useful and informative, as luck would have it my first build is a panther :) keep up the good work.
+Richard B thank you
How many kits are in the background
Good tutorial Andy. Thumbs up.
I like the background music as well. =)
+Mojo Devirus Thank you
VERY VERY informative video... learn a lots. Thanks
can i do this with a spray can instead of a airbrush for painting the white?
I did the exact same thing to a tamiya panther! Looks almost identical. Lol. Great work.
In my opinion, it would be more realistic to apply the paint with a brush, as that is how it would've been done in the field
Subbed and interesting work. Thanks for giving me the knowledge that I need to get myself some airbrush ready paint. Also. Do you know how to make long time ruined by garage flood water slide decals to work?
I built a T-34/76 long ago and got the bright idea to use talc. Blew it on with a cheapo airbrush and fixed it with dullcote. It actually doesn’t look half bad, but not as good as yours.
This is exactly the look i've been searching for! (the look of that tiger is my goal) what clear coat would you recommend before the hairspray?
Btw, you said that the paint needed to be protected via a Lacquer flat coat, all I use is a Tamiya flat coat rattle can TS-80. Is this good enough?
great video! tho i have a question. why hair spray? is matt/gloss varnish not gonna work well? other question before scrubbing with tooth brush does the paint need to completely dry or is it literally straight after airbrushing white?

wait... at 19 min ca you said ''let it dry'' have you just put on a 3 layer of hair spray there.... in between the 2 layers of white?
+MrRetoft NO just two you want to let the paint fully dry for about 10 minutes so it doesn't smear
I have a question, even though this is a very old video, you mentioned a 20:1 white to buff ratio, what about thinning? did you use any thinner in the white mix? I have heard 30% paint to 70% thinner, is that accurate?
Hi Andy, thanks for a great tutorial on this technique. Really enjoy your videos. Would love to visit your shop but it's a bit of a hike from the U.K. Best wishes, Mark
Hi, great job Andy. A Question, which white did you use to covered the base colours? Sorry for my english, is not very well. :)
I remember reading something about first applying acrylic paint and than using salt to get it off. It sounds very interesting, but I don't want to ruin any models because I think out might take the spraypaint off together with the acrylic paint.
Nice job, Andy! question: is hair spray need to be applied again before 2nd layer of XF-1? thanks in advance.
did early panthers leave the factory German grey before being painted dark yellow for the north Africa campaing
They didn't used panthers in north Africa and early Panthers were all dark yellow
Inspiring video Andy! Something for my Wiking and Nordland heavies....and others as well of course!
....at this pace, I'll soon have classical music in the background, while building! 👌👍👏
Hello, perfect skills!!! And what about triplex glases in front located crew??? What color need to do it more realistic???
hi Andy thanks for your video on snow camo I'm building a Sherman and I got a bit stuck on what to do but not now
Some great videos and kits! Just built a Tamiya Panther with European camo might give it the winter camo with your technique. Keep uploading!
That music can put anybody watching in for a section 8.
Looked great until you painted that muck on the tracks, lost the essence of replicating a real machine by making it look like a toy. The old additive is a little is more
Hi Andy,this is an amazing job.I would like to know if this procedure is suitable for RCs or just display kits?
Hassan

Did you reseal the model between the second scrub down and the pin wash or was the wash straight over the paint?
HI Andy, love your videos. when you finish the white camouflage on the tanks, do you spray on any dull coats to protect paint job?
Exactly what I've been looking for! Thanks for posting this.
Cool...fine music!
no probs mate, can you tell us what camera your using? the picture quality is really good. :)
+Alan Sheppard I use my iphone 6
+Andy's Hobby Headquarters No way !!! I am really surprised that a phone can take that good video quality. As always great tutorial.
Love the Model. hate your Music! Really got annoying !
Philistine
There are many types of hair sprays, May I ask what particular type. Is it to fix the hair in place?
yes it is
Why don't you do aircraft
can I do this with ia "hairy stick?"
Cheers Andy, going to try this on my Academy M36B 👍
Going to try this on my 1/16 heng long king tiger. Thanks Andy most helpful .
How much time has passed between adding the white coat to tooth brushing to white off?
How long do you let the paint dry before you start scrubbing it off Andy?
Great job... But damn that Panther D looked great before the white wash!
One day those boxes are going to be collector items and you are going to have paint all over yours.
WoW!.... your phone! ... maybe I need to get a iphone6 .... :(
+Alan Sheppard it does take great video 1080p at 60 frames a second I started my first videos using a camera found the phone worked better. Thanks, I m glad you like the video.
cool model thanks for the video very useful experience for me
STOP THE MUSIC PLEASE. :-(
How long do you have to wait before you start brushing the "white wash" off?
Hey Andy can you plz do a model for me there ain't anything like this near me :(
That is too cool. I bet that camo was effective as heck in the german/bavarian/russian winters.
Love your work Andy, as always a pleasure to watch your videos
Thanks Mate!
Tony, Melbourne Australia
hi, how long does the oil paint take to dry on the tracks...do you use an accelerator ?
Thank you. This answer my questions and it really helped seeing it in real-time.
You are the King, this video helped me a lot. Thank you.
You are a real artist! i'm waiting for my tamiya sherman to arrive, so stoked to try out this technique!
Another great video Andy. I can’t wait to try this method. Thanks !
Great tutorial. What PSI do you have it set?? 15PSI??
This video is 4 years old? I don't know how I missed it. Amazingly well done and thank you for sharing.
Great Informative Video....Thank you
