    Hello from Canada! You are one of very few modelers that uses spray cans instead of an air brush kit which I really like. I also like your homemade styrofoam body holder; that is a great way to hold the car body while you paint it.
    On a different note, one of the guys I used to hang out with when I was 16 owned a Chevy Nova so I may have to add this car to my build list.
    Thanks for your video!

      Thank you my friend! Yes I am a big fan of the spray cans. I’ve been tempted to try the airbrush but haven’t gone there yet. I’ll always have a love of spray cans.
      That’s cool about the Nova ! We don’t really see Novas here but I’d love to see one one day in person !

      Do you have the Mack kit? The only bit I found tricky was I had to cut up into the interior base because the intake thing for the turbo wouldn’t let the cab sit down low enough. I had the iPad beside me with pictures building the kit to get a good view of how things were meant to look 😂

    • @ChickpeaHobbies
      @ChickpeaHobbies  Год назад +3

      Hey Ken
      No I generally just use the chrome as comes in the kit, and touch up any that flakes off with the Molotow chrome pen
      I then put Tamiya panel line accent on the bits where I want to add depth
      I’ve seen other modellers who soak the chrome plating in liquids that remove it and then they paint it silver but to me the Tamiya panel line accent settles it down enough to look less “toyish”
      But then what do I know I am learning too 😂😂😂

    How much time between paint and clear, and between clear coats mate?

    • @ChickpeaHobbies
      @ChickpeaHobbies  6 месяцев назад

      Hey mate
      Between my mist coats, extremely short time. Like a 1-3 minutes at a guess. Just enough for the paint to gas out a little (so I don’t get runs) eg it sort of evaporates before your eyes.
      Between each of these mists I pop the model in a dust proof thing to sit. However take that with a grain of salt as a few on here have said I use too much paint. I just paint the way that suits me, Tamiya paints are pretty thin and I find doing multiple coats works for me so will keep doing it this way
      As for clear coat, I let the paint cure for at least 24 hours. Just because it’s touch try doesn’t mean it is fully gassed out and can still be curing and changing shape. Applying clear before the bottom paint layer is fully cured and gassed out can result in that wrinkled paint, as the paint and clear are curing at different rates
      The basic theory I work to is that as soon as paint starts drying at all do not apply anything on top till it’s completely dry otherwise you get wrinkles because you’ve got semi dry paint curing under new paint and it gets ugly.
      So with Tamiya paints that start drying really quick I would eg never ever wait an hour between paint coats, it’s either the next coat misted on a couple of minutes later, or a very long wait.
      So this model would have been like
      Prime & wait half a day to a day
      Then Mist paint coats with a few minutes between each coat, keeping an eye on it to make sure nothing is going to run
      Then a long wait at least 24 hours
      Then clear
      And if I use multiple clear coat mists, it’s only a couple of min between each mist
      Remember the more you handle the model and move it around the more risk of dropping it and getting dust all over it so look into a little spray booth or I’ve done a foam shelter to sit mine in to dry by lining foam with baking paper type stuff to make it relatively dust free and I sit the model in there after spraying outside .
      Hope this helps and I am no expert at all so take what I say with a grain of salt 😂
