SO EFFING BRILLIANT!!!!! keeping the mask paint from drying on the brush is absolutely the most important thing - besides making it easier to work with, I've lost brushes because it dried too fast (another reason to only use synthentic/cheap brushes - it's not like you're worried about brush strokes anyway)
Hahah, happy to see this hit the spot for you, and thank you very much! 😉 Highly recommend these Da Vinci brushes if you can get them over there, btw!
great video, going to try out your mr hobby clear/ak xtreme metal scotchbright pad on my next knight. ive always wanted to try out the masking fluid for painting trim but have never given in a shot! thanks!
Excellent! Thanks for the feedback, and have fun painting that Knight!
Thank you for this I really looking forward to doing some reading trim on a night
You are very welcome!
this is a great tip i was wondering how i was going to paint the trim on my chaos knights army that i am working on and im going to have to do this i also might have to try this on smaller csm models as painting trim on them sucks and my csm scheme uses inks over metallic so any mistakes are a redo
Awesome, glad I could help, and enjoy those Chaos Knights!
Awesome Stuff. I got some Infinity Minis Limes Up where I will use this technique.
Glad you liked it, and I'm looking forward to seeing those Infinity minis! 😉
@@TheRaceForTerra youll hate Them. There is No weathering but Edge Highlights ;)
Hahah, if you say so! @@alexanderz8052
I was going to get some of this stuff but i read online that it can ruin acrylic paints bc it contains ammonia. How did you get around this? It looks like a great product otherwise.
Also that green effect is amazing!
Hi Jacob, I rarely use acrylic paints, so I cannot tell you for sure, but given Vallejo have their own (inferior) version of this, which stinks of ammonia and is meant to be used with their own line of paints, I am rather skeptical. If you varnish first as I did here, the chances of issues would decrease further. Given the price, I would get it and test it if I were you.
I thought the same about the Vallejo one, although some sites list it as being water based. I’ll grab some to try with my Vallejo paints as maskol is harder to find in aus. Thanks!
Have you ever had issue with the paint layer sprayed on top of the mask ripping/taring as the mask comes off? Yours came off very neatly in this video, but I often encounter ragged torn edges at the edges where the mask stops 🤔
Hi Robert, no, that’s only ever happened to me with masking tape. Was that with Maskol or a different brand? Either way, varnishing with satin or gloss varnish could help you.
Now that I've seen this video, I can't find Maskol anywhere, everyone is sold out. Is there a way to use these techniques with Mr Masking Sol? I tried adding water, but it clumped up on the brush pretty badly, I didn't get that smooth application like in the video with Maskol.
Sorry to hear that! I've heard really good things about Mr. Masking, but never tried it myself. Good luck, though!
Can I used it for zoids building
Not sure, Gordon, I don’t know anything about Zoids!
@@TheRaceForTerra they have so parts masking wen you are small details
@@TheRaceForTerra were did you get it the liquid mask
Its water base and and how many hours do I need to let it dry
As I explain in the video, you let it dry until it goes transparent. An hour should be enough in all cases.
@@TheRaceForTerra its because its my first time trying masking liquid one a motal kit
Have you had any problems with the Vallejo liquid mask that is too thick and clumpy in the bottle? And how can you make it like more easier to apply or if you put anything in the bottle to diluted. Thanks for your help. Great video tutorial
@@eddie1003751130 Hi Eddie, yes, that's why I said to stay away from other brands in the video. As for application, I just make sure the brush tip is slightly wet (with water), as I said in the video also. Hope that helps!
