Budget Millennium Falcon Part 3 - cheap weathering
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лип 2024
- It's all about cheap, quick and easy weathering which still looks the part - in this episode I bring out the old favourites: oil paints. Part 3 of a series where I repaint the cheaper Revell kit (which comes prepainted) to try and obtain a low cost replica of this iconic movie vehicle.
In this video I use:
Mig Ammo matt varnish
Windsor & Newton Oil paints in Titanium White, Lamp black and Burnt Umber.
Mig Ammo Dark Brown Wash for Green Vehicles
AK Interactive Streaking Grime for Dark Yellow
Mig Ammo Satin Black
Harder & Steenbeck Evolution 2 in 1 airbrush fitted with 0.25mm nozzle
These techniques are as simple as they get and are suitable for all levels of modeller. - Навчання та стиль
Hopefully you will be happy to know that 6+ years later people are still coming here to check this before building the model as it's one of best ones to be found on here :)
Thanks man, appreciate the vid as well as your knowledge and skills
Thank you so much for this comment, this is really nice to read. I enjoyed doing this falcon but I've lost my appetite for star wars models, I'm glad it stands as a useful reference. My youngest son broke the model itself but I still have the majority of it here 😔
@@ScaleModelMedic Most welcome 🤜🤛 I'm building mine for my partner as she's a big star wars nerd and has the perfect space in her office.
Sir, your videos are some of the very best for showing various modeling techniques. Thank you very much for taking the time to share with others. The model is looking great.
Great to see you're still going! Your videos have always been very great!
Love the way you worked on the layers of colours and paints!! Great Video!
Bro, thanks very much for posting this. You have cracked the code on achieving the look with oil paints, so this film is one long Eureka moment for me.
Glad to see ur still active in the modeling community. I really value ur videos.
thank you for sharing the superb technics! great work.
Great to see Part 3.....finally!!! I've just got myself this kit so your tutorials are invaluable. Marvellous job. Roll on Part 4.
your weathering techniques are just awesome!

Once again brilliant.....!
Thanks I really enjoyed watching this video and that is the best streaking I have seen on the falcon in a youtube vid.
Thank Christ you're back!!! Dude I have watched each of your videos approx 90 times each... Thankjs for new stuff...Sci-fi at that- I have gone in that direction as well- a break from AC/Tanks.
welcome back sir, looking forward to your future videos always great. Hope all is well
Totally awesome tutorial videos! I really appreciate the clear precise explanations given... Especially since I'm working on this very model as a xmas gift to my cousin... Too bad I won't get the rest of the tips before then i guess...I'll try my best & hopefully will come out with a decent result (this is the first model I've started this century! Got quite rusty in the process) thanks to all your tips!
hugs & kisses to your family!
actually this series of videos are the best tutorial for millenium falcon....
emiliano1978india thanks I appreciate that
YES! PART 3! Thanks so much for uploading this one dude - been following this series with great interest! I'm going to be tackling my first model build in a long time very soon which will be go up on my Channel as a sort of build diary, but the Millennium Falcon is one that I will be doing at some point (I really want the Bandai kit!). Cheers for this man, it's looking awesome :D
Amazing work this has made me want to did it now
Great video! Learned alot, thank you so much!
Superbe vidéo, merci beaucoup mon ami.
Good Job!
Welcome back!
That's amazing! Thanks!
this guy is stil alive
Brilliant!!
Brilliant work. I'm going to go see about some Oils to throw into my paint kit. Some good tips on the weathering. I use mostly acrylics so it's hard to get the same sort of effect as you show. I was wondering what everyone was using, it would never had occurred to m to use oils. Thanks! :)
Great stuff, I'm going to be using mig oils, I managed to get hold of that elusive Starship Filth. I will be using it on a Bandai model. I have ok success with rattle cans as I don't have an airbrush.
Thanks for the great tutorial... I shall post this on the uk "Deagostini build the millennium falcon'" forum
Scalemodelmedic Any news on the final Falcon video arriving please. Really enjoyed watching the process in the other 3 videos. Will be great to see the finished item.
It's funny, because looking at this (scale model), i'm thinking 'wait, they did a big one for the new movie' did they have a guy with a giant brush tweaking colors making streaks??'. I hope they release a documentary on making the 1/1 model.
Fantastic video on the Falcon, you're the guy that's going to make me buy it as I've not made a model since my teens. I cant find the final vid though showing the lights working as that is what I want to do as well?
Might try this on Deagostini Millennium Falcon once I've received enough pieces to finish off the top or bottom.
He lives!
Nice video mate, makes me want to start building my MF. Have been holding off till I have a lot of time to put into it.
The techniques that you show here are excellent. I learned quite a bit in a very short time from watching your paint technique and also from the oils you suggested. Thank you. How do you ge tthe oils to dry more quickly after you gave painted the model? how long do they take to dry if left alone?
cool!
great video!... haha theres like a shirll whistle in the background music that was very strange sounding
Search for scalemodelmedic on Facebook and like my page, I'm always posting! in the downtime between videos I had to move house and build a new modelling workshop, so for a while it looked more like a DIY page than a modelling one, but I've started posting little tutorials and updates now that I'm modelling again.
+ScaleModelMedic Finish this model...please and thank you. I need to see it done.
great video. Part 4 please?
check my Facebook page for updates. part 4 is on the editing stages
loooking thare like it ;;;;;;]]]]]
I am current building the studio scale falcon by DeAgostini. I have just come from a shop in merry hill where I have seen some of your amazing model. One of the staff members recommended I have a look at your videos. I have taken a lot of helpful tips. I am wondering how I can display the finished model when it is complete. They recommended magnets. Would this be the best way.
Hello ScaleModelMedic,
would there be a way you could list in your (maybe) description all the colors you used in the model, so that we could replicate the effects, and even shop for them. For Example myself, I am on a tight budget and very new to modeling, leave alone airbrushing, and I would kill myself if I ruin an awesome model such as the Falcon.
Thanks in advance
Also big thanks for being so patient, answering questions, and showing detailed work. Most people here on youtube only want to show off and not really teach you on how to do it. Thanks a million
like my kids like too say
"are we there yet"
So.. When are you going to continue on the falcon?
I'm currently building the falcon and new to modelbuilding.
I use acrylic paints. Can the weathering effect be reached with these paints aswel?
Sure, a lot of the weathering is acrylic in this series. All of the stuff with the washes is acrylic based. Check out my video called "CHERNOBYL Rust" for using acrylic instead of oil paint to do streaking.
@@ScaleModelMedic thanks!
Wil have a look.
But i see you use oil based for the weathering. Acrylic dry faster in my experience (for so far i have any 🤣)
And when i try to 'blend' it al turns brownish
You should really continue videos in the Humbrol UA-cam channel
thats not up to me mate!
+ScaleModelMedic well anyway keep in these great videos!
Where's part 4, I can't find it! Don't leave me on a cliffhanger!
Is it bad I heard the first few lines and thought, thats the guy that did the Humbrel videos?
+SC457A he is
Hi can I use Tamiya Enamel and Tamiya Thinner for weathering?
Hi I've always found tamiya stuff to be a little bit on the "hot" side, it might melt your underlying paint layers, but I cant be sure you would need to do some tests first. If they're not too hot they would probably work in a similar fashion.
ScaleModelMedic alright! Thanks for the advice
Nice job. What happened to the cockpitwindows though, did you spraypaint over them? They're like gone while that is one of the key details? Plus, for a budget model as you say, you spent more money on paint than the model is worth and it still doesn't look like the beige/lightbrown-matte finish the original has? It looks good but too gunmetal-ish. You made it look like a transformer or Battlestar Galactica-model, it doesn't look Star Wars at all so whats the point of these referencepics if they don't look like the moviemodel?
I've seen cheaper and better weathering finishes, no offense. And I'm not even a professional modelbuilder, I just like to build and paint kits to make them look as close to the moviemodel as possible while not spending too much unnecessary time and money on them.
Sony Kroket the windows are covered in masking tape....
I understand. Did you apply cockpitdetails? I only cut out the door in the backplate of it, when I'm done weathering it and want to place some lights in it, it should give more detail. I made sure I didn't glue anything so I can take it apart again as I please to finish it properly.
Man, I've picked up the modelkithobby again recently and it's getting addictive. I spent alot of time and money on RC planes and robots but during the winter, it;'s great to build and paint kits.
BTW that blue engine backplate it has, they really should've put more effort into it. I paid 70 euros for it while it's not that big. The X-wing model of this series is like gigantic and has a very good factory look already. I paid 35 bucks for it, it's almost 45 cms which would be about 18 or 19 inches, I think.
Revell really stepped up their game since the 80s as most of their kits back then had bad finish and warping.
Sony Kroket I did not add any more detail inside. you see it in part 4 which is online. also the lighting in part 4 is a bit better maybe you will think better of the colour. you paid a lot more than me for this kit! maybe it isn't so common now but it was really cheap before.
ScaleModelMedic I understand and you're right. Do you have the X-wing from the same line from Revell? Also a snapkit? It's fucking awesome and huge with great detail, perfect for a good weathering job.. It seems most Revellproducts are cheaper for europeans as it's a german company.
The model is a complete turd but your paint job has really polished it revell just can't do falcons only the small ones. Great job
Panel line weathering is heavy handed and extremely unrealistic.
Whereas every thing else about the millennium falcon is realistic
