Paint scale realistic mortar brick
Whether it is an enamel or acrylic brick coloured base, the opposite can be laid down in a ultra thinned down paint called a "wash". The wash will sink into all the crevices exposing just the brick surface when dry.
It is important to keep your material flat until dry otherwise the wash will run. Try experimenting with different amounts of thinner / water to get varying results. Not happy? Spray over it and try again.

This model was accidentally crushed and semi-destroyed about 15 years ago. Since then, each time the box was opened to inspect I would obviously try to nudge and move pieces back into place. Finally a few years ago i decided to make a help video in the scenario where someone else destroys their favourite car. I hope I can give tips, ideas and inspiration that your model is not lost.

Repainting an old model and giving some inspiration for the gulf challenge started last summer in 2019. This was painted, polished and decaled in the Taisan Tamiya scheme and I was forced to start over. Instead of throwing the model away in disgust, I decided to do my best to rejuvenate it before hitting the trash can for good. -Become A Patron: www.patreon.com/surerockco -Visit me on Instagram...

Is it safe for clear parts too?
I would try a test piece first to confirm
Can you poor some thinner directly in the bottle to make things easier when painting by hand? Like a few drops of paint thinner?
Hi! I'm an artist but have never used Testor's before. I'm confused about the brush cleaning process. The Testor's thinner is such a small bottle...do I swizzle my dirty brush in the whole bottle? (This is how I'm used to rinsing my brushes using watercolor and acrylic, by swizzling them in a jar of water.) Do I dab some of the paint thinner on a rag then rub my brush clean? It feels strange to just have one small bottle of testors thinner & dirty the whole bottle in one sitting. And swizzling the he brush into the mouth of a metal can of paint thinner doesn't seem very friendly either. (Also I know the testors cleaner is just paint thinner, but I don't necessarily want to have a big bottle of that stuff in my studio for the dogs to get into or for me to spill accidentally or when transferring it to a smaller container.) Thanks in advance for any help anyone can suggest!
I was thinking the same. I’ve tried a few methods and it looks like dipping the brush in the thinner then cleaning it on a napkin works well. The paint doesn’t seem to mix into the thinner when the brush is dipped quickly and I heard if it does it falls to the bottom of the thinner, making the thinner reusable.
just use mr.color for more effective
Hi thanks for uploading video. Have You raised suspension as well? Looking to raise the 1/24 '39 Chevy Panel Sedan to Pickup height (for conversion, omitting covered panel area in build) It's for baby Superman diroama from 1978 movie scene where he raises p/u to help dad with tire change. Which 1/24 pickup suspension would You recommend or is diy better? Any tips wud be appreciated. Thanks
Video is ok; video contents is good but the sound need to be fixed, it is a very low tone, and for folks with some difficult to ear it just does not sound good, almost not understandable
Thanks for the info!
I know this video is old but YES! This works! I thought I’d destroyed a $100.00 model with a terrible enamel paint job, but I just got it all off. FWIW, I did it in just a few hours. Maybe the enamel comes off easier. I used a bunch of paper towels and wiped most of the old paint off.
I’m currently building the 222, basically the same kit. Thanks for the tips!
This is an awesome piece of work. I cannot even try to do something similar, since I do not dare to paint models at this scale, but I will see if I can add the pastel treatment on mine 😊
What about retarders
Slick decals crumpled when I used them.
Like the info but a close up would help. Thanks.
Unfortunately, the placement of the turboprop nacelles are in line with the old piston engine CL-215 model. The 415 nacelles should be located more inboard. I have seen this corrected and the kit can be built up nicely. There are other faults with the kit but the nacelles Placement is the worst of the lot.
nice
Im looking at dishwater softener, rain-x, and awesome cleaner.
I NEEDED this!!! I was wondering this stuff wouldnt come out of my brushes!!!!!!! Thanks!!
Can i use paint brush for tamiyah?
I'm still learning about painting with tamiya paints and this is the video I was looking for. When I opened the paints, they had a strong smell for the chemicals, so I am thinking on buying a filter mask, because I work on a small space and doesn't have proper ventilation and keeping them on a wooden box (because it's fresh) to prevent the chemicals activate with the heat
Deck-els?
Dee-kals.
Fantastic. About how long did it take you to do this?
Very nice job. Larry Landis
Oh man. This is bringing me back to my childhood. I remember buying these and tester paints at walmart in the 90s. Couldnt remember the company that made them
Good real advice brother. Wish I'd seen this video before I started experimenting with acrylics, Tamiya in particular, after a 55 year hiatus in model building. Those are most the principles I have discovered by trial and error. Good vid.
Some say with "ammonia" some say without 🤦🏻♂
Fine line tape will minimize rough edge
Do the commercial acrylic airbrush cleaners have IPA in it?
does the model kit wheel height, is it too high thats why you cut off the rotord?i was trying to listen but you have a low sounding voice. cc dont work 🤨
Great technique
From England, great stuff, thank you.
thats too bad the ride height seems a little high. i wish revell did those kits with just a smidge lower ride height
😮❤
Very good.
"Don't spend alot of time on the diorama " ? Bad advice. If your going to do a diorama, do the best you can.
This is real artwork
Great video!
I actually have now a CL-215 of Heller and build the Heller one is the same as the Italieri
Me gusta tu trabajo, buen trabajo y me gusta más el que no hayas abusado de los envejecidos dichosos, un saludo
Thank you for the tips
You can use an alcohol calculator so you can add water to know 99% and bring it down to 70%. IPA quite expensive here in Australia could I use methylated spirits aka denatured alcohol? I heard you can make flow improve over from dishwashing rinse aid. 3mls to 1 litre of water. Cheers Graham
I know this a long time later. But what did you clean the panel line with?
Excellent work. One question. At minute 25:59, you make a mix, what is IPA?
Isopropanol
OMG this is genius. Thank you!
Can i use water to thin my tamiya paint?
Where you can buy it
Why didn´t you use the decals?
I just tried tamiya lacquer..and in preparing to use it I think I was confusing it with this acrylic hybrid or whatever this is lol.
I'm going to use testers silver bottle paint to refresh my front hood letters of my Land Rover. I just subscribed and I watced this video. Will itself level straight out of the bottle? Should I use a small bristle.brush like the one in this video? I know the importance of don't over brush and keep moving. (I have a bottle of Testers thinner too) Thank you .
I've used Future for sevral years, applied with a brush, and had very good results. I was lucky, when I bought it, it was under 10.00.
Great short video! Just wondering what size needle you’re spraying with? And can the Pledge be thinned down if I’m spraying with a smaller needle?
