Mass Producing Model Cars - How To Batch Paint Your Models The Right Way
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- What if I told you that you can apply a special type of painting technique to produce more model cars in a faster period of time?
Why would you want to do that?
Suppose you want to build a large diorama and you needed several model cars to complete it, or perhaps you bought several of the same model car to build in different ways, like one that is factory stock, one custom and one as a drag racer?
Or maybe you are just tired of having so many models sitting on the shelf and you just want to get them done as soon as possible to have room to get more models.
If you want to finish multiple model kits at the same time, then batch painting might just be for you.
Nice idea for mass building a few models at one time. Nice detailing of the models. Very creative. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome. Hope it helps!
Hi Trevor, Thanks to your "Brush Painting" video I got my "best ever" brush painting result and completed the 1968 Mustang in red, the next one im doing is the 196 Hertz Mustang but in a mid to dark blue with no stripes as I do them in single colour like the old promo modelsm id be more than happy to send a picture as it was a dream of mine to make a model painted like this for 45 years.
It must be great for your Customers to know you not only have great models and super vid's well put together with great humour but also a lifetime of knowledge on building and painting them too, I also enjoy watching the vids on your Dad's builds, I hope more folk watch your vids as it was the "Biggest" influence on my return to model making and took took the guesswork out of painting with a brush along with good practice and lots of fun, if I lived in Canada id buy from you for sure.
Have a super day.
Glad you like the videos and are learning a few things from them. If you are interested in shopping, I can ship around the world. However, we would have to discuss the shipping and how to ship for some cost reductions.
Fantastic tutorial! I prefer using an airbrush, but that's just me. Again, great video tutorial!
Thanks for watching!
It doesn't really matter what technique you use to paint - brush, rattle can or air brush or a combination of all 3.
The lesson of mass production of kits is what I was going for.
Great video, very helpful topic too with our Canadian winters! Makes painting very difficult. Summer batch painting here I come 😁
Sounds great!
I believe you can do it! - Just remember to have fun.
With the hairdryer always use the low heat setting
...if yours has one! LOL! But for sure. I learned that the hard way.
Hi Trevor, Just found a great upload a channel called TFLclassics they take a model T to a Ford dealers for a service, have fun.
Sounds good!
Thank you Trevor.Great tips. I love what you did with yours.I plan on doing some Model Ts in the near future.
Glad it was helpful! I have more on the go too.
Great video and great topic. Did batch builds of several NASCAR kits back in the 90s. Used project management software to plan them all out and had a gant chart of the entire process.
Very cool!
That would have helped me out in this case. I still have to finish those Tall T's. They're not too far away. I just need to paint both bodies and make the 1 package shelf for the interior, paint the spare tires, put on the plates and glue it all down.
Good video!
Glad you liked it and thank you for watching!
Hi Trevor, thoroughly enjoyed this upload, lots of info and tips, it's great to see your passion for the Hobby, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it and will watch it several times im sure as there are lots of tips, the blue worked out well too, I have a question do you sand between coats and if so which wet and dry grade do you use, i found the 1200 a bit abrasive.
Thanks for a super upload.
Best wishes to yourself,loved one's and fellow viewers.
Glad you enjoyed it. Usually I use 1200 grit between coats. 1500 is also good. Those grades are sold "over the counter" here in Canadian hardware and automotive stores. However, I have an old LGM polishing kit that starts at 1800 and goes to 12 000, but that's getting to the point of polishing out the top coats for a mirror finish. - so those are more special.
@@MonsterHobbiesModelCarGarage Hi Trevor, Thanks for the info, I may get some 1500 grade too, but super happy and dont think I want to go too detailed, just build the models as fun with no pressure, im finding it as fun as I did back in the 1970s, im concentrating on glue and paint skills and then have a nice display of them in the cellar.
Thanks for the reply and best wishes.
You are welcome.
In my build videos, I am not getting "Super-detailed", like adding engine wires, valve stems, heater hose lines, and other things of that nature. (Although I might consider that later on - build one from the box and build another of the same kit and add in those details as a separate video.)
For now, I am just trying to get the models to fit together as they should. Sometimes that does require certain items like Tamiya putty and pieces of Evergreen Sheet Styrene or Plastruct, or even just letting the viewer know that they should remove something from the chassis or body to get the fit tight. Nothing too complex, but will get the kit together the way the manufacturer intended...like how I solved the issue with the Model T suspension geometry.
@@MonsterHobbiesModelCarGarage Thats great, im enjoying watching your vids in my spare time and agree on the advice being helpful as I have the Torino model which you covered and you have got me interested in the Model T and similar, I saw a real one a few years ago in England, they are a marvel of engineering.
It's great your doing a few versions of the same and im doing similar with the vatious Mustangs and enjoying the steady progress on each, id like to do some as Customs like how I remembered them in the 1970s, jacked up, side pipes, spoilers, traction bars, bonnet scoops,whiplash aerial, slot mags,it was a scene that went from the States to the UK and most youngsters had Ford Escorts with the bit's I mentioned normally black and flamed plus bubble wheel arches, my first car was a mk3 Cortina GXL with the Pinto engine, model making is fun and nostalgic it rekindles old memories and new ones too.
That reminds me I had a few smaller Monogram models in the 70s one was the 41 Willys and the other the yellow model T Pickup, simple builds but looked good, for many years i've played Forza and Gran Turismo but now im finding the model making is twking over.
Best wishes.
@@SunShine-dk6rk Sounds good. I have an older PS2 game called Automodelista where you can change the paint colors and logos of the cars. Sometimes these video game car ideas can be used in model building.
