It looks great, and I guess you have a lot of control of the outcome compared to other weathering tehniques. But that's what's great about weathering and painting, all the possibilities that are available.
Excellent video, Metodi. Regular and watercolor pencils are great for weathering or detailing scale models. They're an excercise in subtlety and patience, but the results are worth the effort. Cheers.
Yes I agree his technique with the water color pencils looks really. This for me is like when I first started experimenting with pastel powered. The pencils technique looks to have fanatic control plus easily removed if overdone.
This is very underrated technique and the reason is that is primarily used by armor society. You might want to elaborate more on that, because it will be very useful to airplane guys. Also helicopters. Apache, Mi-24 and similar worn helos desperately need such weathering. Telling more about the brand of pencils and specific qualities will be highly appreciated too!
Really great effects. I have a lot of aquarel pencils and one of the difficulties encountered is the softness of the lead which, when cut well at the beginning, very quickly loses its fineness once moistened. Bravo for your result ! 🇨🇵
Those made by modelling companies are quite soft... almost crayon like. I have some from a art shop wich are much harder. Both serve different purposes imo.
A very interesting technique and application. Ive seen some other videos using colored pencils. My only experience haa been using a silver pencil for minor chipping. What i like about using pencil is the control, plus if over done removing easily with water, which demonstrated. I excited to try other colors. Like your light green an gray application. Thxs for tip video.
That was a great tutorial regarding these pencils, I thought the green pencil loo,ed perfect forvthe primer the americams used on these aircraft, very best regards from Australia, Les
Lovely work... I've been thinking about using pencils to add weathering details. I'll be coming back to this video to watch again before I begin my first attempt. Keep up the good work... ;-)
Thanks for the video, buddy. The only disadvantage of this method - that moment you cover the effect made with acrylic pencils it will disappear under the lay of varnish and become barely visible (I tried ak pencils)
@@MMScaleModels another "thank you" for the tutorial! I have used pencils before but I have the exact opposite issue, the pigment won't stick to the surface (whether directly over matt paint or a matt coat layer), so I have to add another matt coat layer. Which, as mentioned, can just erase the effect. Any advice on how to make the pencil pigment adhere better to the surface?
I’ve experimented with watercolor pencils like this. Produces some good results, but be careful with acrylic varnishes later. They will wet the watercolors and spread the colors out.
If you are planning to use multiple colors and layers of watercolor pencil would it be best to seal each layer/color with a clear cote? The Corsair is looking great!
Thanks, so far my experiments show two things in this regard. One, clear coats reduce the strength of the effect which might be unwanted and two if sufficient time is given for the pigment to dry (on a matt surface) subsequent application does not alter the first one significantly.
Thanks, In my experience laquer based varnishes destroy the effect. Careful application of water based acrylic varnish is less harmfull. I don't plan to varnish.
Hola, tengo una duda. Pintas con los lápices sobre la maqueta barnizada en mate? y después de usar los lápices vuelves a barnizar en mate? Saludos desde Argentina,
Yes, the pencils work best on matt surface. My understanding so far is that some varnishes (laquer) will fully destroy the effects while waterbased acrylic varnishes do not attack the pigments as much.
Thanks, I used prismacolor silver. The other brand is cretacolor but I don't know what is the availability worldwide. I bought mine from an art store. I have links to AK and prismacolor pencils in the description of the video.
@@canuck64 No need to feel sorry, my friend, no fuss at all! You're probably lucky to have naturally "dry" hands and/ or your painting techniques don't require prolonged manipulations of the model. I personally had this problem a few times in the past and for me now a gloved left hand is s.o.p. when it comes to the painting and weathering phases. Happy modeling from Italy!👋
It looks great, and I guess you have a lot of control of the outcome compared to other weathering tehniques.
But that's what's great about weathering and painting, all the possibilities that are available.
Yes, the amount of control is rather nice and the possibilities for different applications are huge
Excelente!
Como sempre, aprendo novas técnicas e usos para os insumos.
Muito obrigado e até o próximo vídeo.
You are welcome 🍻
I think I'll get a set of pencils and try this. I like the result. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching mate 👍
Excellent video, Metodi.

I am very impressed and there are different types of pencils that are goot for different effects.

There is room for more than one video under this topic ;)
..красиво! реалистичность-одна из областей моделирования..
Thanks mate 👍

Thank You 👍
Świetny film, bardzo przydatny. Dopiero zaczynam z brudzeniem i uszkodzeniami na modelach.
Have fun 👍

Very cool techique. Looks easy(ish) to control.
Yes, it is relatively easy
Are those the same as regular color pencils or are they water color pencils?
No those are specific type - watercolor

Thanks Les, appreciate your feedback 👍
Very creative, is perfect.
Thanks mate 👍
Really cool weathering.

Yeah, no varnish allowed, maybe very careful application of watebased acrylic varnish can do something good.

I only have adhesion issues with satin or gloss. Matt surface always works. Honestly I cannot see what could the problem be.
@@MMScaleModels could be that my paint results in a satin finish? I will try adding some matting agent next time.
I use GX matt varnish
This makes me want to use my giant MiG Ammo set of pencils more...
Oh I am sure you're going to have fun with it
Thanks

I did those last, no varnish for the reason you mentioned

Hola ..buen trabajo ... despues de pintar con los lapices debes barnizar ?
Thanks, In my experience laquer based varnishes destroy the effect. Careful application of water based acrylic varnish is less harmfull. I don't plan to varnish.
What kit is it? seems very detailed, especially the flaps!

Hi .... what kind of pencil you use? Brand?...thank you excellent video
Thanks, I used prismacolor silver. The other brand is cretacolor but I don't know what is the availability worldwide. I bought mine from an art store. I have links to AK and prismacolor pencils in the description of the video.
What kind of gloves are you using? They appear to be a different material from the thin light blue nitrile gloves I use.
Nitrile as well, only black in color.
I don't get those who work with latex glove for little detailing. In any case, excellent work
Not getting greasy fingerprints on the model is one reason and there are more. And the gloves are nitrile.
Why spend a lot of time and effiort to get a perfectly weathered a/c only to have it marred with greasy fingerprints if you can avoid it? 🤷
@@lorenzcassidy3960 I've done countless kits and I never had issues with fingerprints...ever. Sorry all...didn't mean to cause a fuss
