Good work sir amazing. Where I work someone threw out an entire set of pastels in a box. I’ve been keeping it for a while. Now I definitely know what to use them for. I will be checking out all your vids. THANKS SO MUCH. By the way love Rufus. 👍😎
Damn it.. that's just insanely good!! another super good vid 😁
Great tip and thanks for sharing an awesome family trade secret. I will for sure look for this next time i'm at the hobby shop!
You'll generally find the "oil-less pastels" in arts and crafts stores.
Glad to share it. Not so much a family secret. Just an old school way of doing it that goes back to before weathering powders made the hobby scene.
This was a great tip. Really, really helpful. (BTW we're both 1964 models ;-) )
Glad you liked the tip. Got lots more like them in my brain bucket to share. Thanks for stopping by the shop.👍
I just weathered a huge Ho scale road with pastel chalk ( The same exact thing you have) ground down to powder and after I sprayed it with dullcote it all disappeared all my pastels are now in the garbage I will stick to my weathering powders by Brandon, they hold up to dullcote
Thanks
You are very welcome.
Great idea!!
Great vid man , I recently got some secret weapon weathering powders and have used this technique as well for the price of entry for the pastle sticks they work just as good for most applications.
So am I understanding you correctly that you got 12 different secret weapons powders for a total of $2.99 to $5? From what I've seen of that brand they go for $5 for a jar of a single color.
Hell no lol although I did get them on the cheap , Iam saying I agree with your method that at $6 for the pastel sticks they can do just about the same job as the weathering powders for way cheaper .
@@foerender1624 Well that's good. Now I dont need to ask you where you shop at! This pastel sticks set went on sale and were just 2.99 this past week for me. Yes. I stocked up. 😁👍
This is an old trick that goes back before the powders existed in the retail world so it's a well proven method. So much so that companies decided to the stuff all ground up.
Lots more of these pro-tips will be coming to the channel. Stay tuned! 👍😉😁
I liked it, but I would enjoy to see you applying it on that car.
Glad you liked the video. I Had to show how the DIY weathering powders are made before I show how to use them. If I did it the other way around everyone would be asking how I make the powders.
Know that they are made, I'll be showing them being used in future builds and techniques.
Stay tuned.
Awesome tips man. I could never bring myself to spend $15 on a tamiya powder pallet with one color I would use
Good news for you if you're in the US. Hobby Lobby has the set I used in the video on sale for $2.99 this week.
We call those chalk pastels over here...
They are called by both names here in the states. I used the oil-less naming to draw attention that there is an oil version as well as that is how it is on the package.
I'm sure the folks in the UK will be thankful for the clarification on it.
Thanks for the feedback. 👍😁
That's brilliant! But what about that sealer you mentioned? What do you use to seal the cars?
Depends on the application. Details on it are far too much for the comments.
The easy one is Testors Dullcote spray. Keep in mind it will knock down the powder when you apply it. You'll need to experiment with how much powder to apply before sealing. That goes for any weathering powder. Experience is part of the toolbox for some techniques.
@@gaslandsgarage7214 and what about good'ol matt varnish? will it do?
@@tinywargamer3863 Testors Dullcote is their brand of matte varnish. I find it to be the best result to my liking. Other matte varnishes often have a little gloss sheen. Dullcote can too if it is over applied. I find dullcote is so flat that many people dont realize it it there and keep applying until it's overdone. Could you use others sure. For me... why would you?
Great video, love your work man. Any chance you can give me the name of the kit you have? I'm trying to find it online but haven't had any luck
Thanks for the comment. Glad you enjoyed the video.
The product is available at Hobby Lobby and a link has already been posted in the comments. Just take look. 👍😉
I picked them up in a US arts and craft store called Hobby Lobby. www.hobbylobby.com/Art-Supplies/Drawing-Illustration/Pastels-Chalk/Earthtone-Drawing-Pastels/p/138005
Seems they are on sale this week. I wonder if they knew about my video. 🤣👍😉
Can you show us a casting or a piece of terrain that you did this technique on?
Did you watch the part of the video where I showed the piece of sculpted corrugated metal? That was weathered with the powders. It started as plain gun metal silver.
As mentioned in the video description I'll be doing videos using these to show off how I use them and the end results you can get.
Keep watching!
I have used this in the past as well. the only draw back is the they "disappear" when you clear coat the car/model. So I have a problem gauging how much to use. but if you mix them in water and white glue to make a "mud" that works really well. gives them that caked on mud look.
@@jonosborn4659 come on now... youre giving spoilers for future episodes. 😉
I did and it was very useful.
@@Miginath Cool. Glad you saw it. Names dont always match up from one social media to another and I wasnt going to dive deep to figure it out. 😉👍
I did want to give you a little look see on it.
As mentioned... I'll be doing more with these in videos and having this up on the channel gives me a quick way to reference them. Got to set the stage for the future. 👍
Wifey make-up works well too :p
Two issues with that... price of using makeup probably isnt saving money. The second and it is a big one... use the wife's makeup for your hobby? Do you enjoy sleeping on the couch? 😉😁
which means it's a colourful chalks??😂
While I can see where you may think that, they aren't really chalks. Chalk is not pastel. Chalk is made of limestone or gypsum and compressed into powdered sticks. Soft pastels are made from pure mineral pigments. Pastels are usually combined with a binder such as gum traganth and some water. So, not chalks and why they work as well as they do.
@@gaslandsgarage7214 i got one more question sir,do you know sponge chipping technique??can we use this powder or do we have to change it into a liquid form first??
@@aliffhakim5407 There are several ways of applying weathering powders. I didn't cover them at the time because their are a lot of really good videos covering it all.
My video was to draw attention to an alternative to the expensive powders on the market. The tip here is to show you don't need to spend lots of money to get the same results.
I'd encourage you to search youtube for applying weathering powders on models. You'll find lots to view.
