Ep 8 - How-to Chipping + OPR + Pigments

Today's stream continues the how-to chipping technique how-to conversation and using those marks to help create the follow on weathering stages via OPR (Oil Paint Rendering).
This will include close-up of chipping techniques and how best to unload paint and water during each technique. Then using OPR to weather directly over the chips to maximum effect --- exactly as shown in the RSP books.

0:00 Greetings & early questions
23:42 1st Demo - HS chipping on old wood
NOTE: 1st demo covers at length aging wood, applying HS/Chipping Fluid processes, how to apply the water on the brush properly to ensure success, and then adding weathering on top of the chipped paint. Plus, bonus adding a second layer of white stripe and chipping and full conversation on MAPPING (what it means and why it's used) to further layer up this entire process.
1:52:00 2nd Demo -- chipping with lacquer thinner (as shown in TA2, also same idea in TA1)
NOTE: This demo illustrates the process of applying layers two brands of paint to recreate a worn painted surface on cast surface, such as commonly seen on machines made from rougher cast steel.
2:18:45 3rd Demo -- applying pigments for dust effects on the above turret demo piece
NOTE: The demo showcases how to move immediately into the next steps after chipping for dusty earth effects working with pigments, thinners for fixer, and replicating real life weathering
2:37:23 4th Demo -- OPR work directly over pigments
NOTE: This part of the demo showcases more advanced weathering without any type of clear coat employed. This is EXACTLY how I treat this part of the weathering. Also show workflow bench setup and preparing the palette properly for this stage.
3:02:30 5th Demo -- OPR weathering over old sponge chips (rail road test piece)
NOTE: Somewhat successful attempt to visually repair heavy handed chipping using oils to blend in the story for the hatch to improve the final result.

great video thank you for sharing

Thank you all! Fun stream and I will answer all the missed questions below. I apologize missing them, I get too focused! Lol, And see y'all Weds @ 6pm Weds. Cheers
Please review the description above to see the time stamps and list of all products and tools used on stream, thanks!
Questions missed in chat:
85iceshadow-- yes you can use a darker steel color under a panzergrau top color. The messy part comes from your water on the brush, the quantity used makes all the difference.
Plastic Chamber -- is many HS scenarios, the top layer can bleed color into the lower layers. Clean the brush more often, work a little slower and use less water overall.
Schweddy Balls -- I use the aerosol primarily because it's all preset pressure, making speed of hand and distance the main variables. Airbrushing a clear fluid is trickier and can't cover larger pieces quickly. ie. Aerosol is easier overall and repeatable when learned. I use AB for smaller pieces.
Mike Hufnagl -- yes, any thinned paint will work on that initial aging layer on the wood
Gunpla Ronin -- yes, RSP has produced 7 books to date, with more pre-orders listed for the next group of books (click website link in description)
85iceshadow -- TA2 2nd Ed will now match the graphic design of the newer TA books, green cover, updated layout inside, overall content is the same with more pics of some projects. Text is all the same, only major changes are more complete technique chapters in the beginning to update verbiage to more current processes (ie. basically being clearer about describing these ideas).
Michael Weiss -- yes, thinned the Tamiya OD with X-20A when I sprayed that layer
Sylvain Plante -- Lifecolor is a water-based acrylic similar to Vallejo. I believe LC is latex based, and Vallejo is vinyl based re. their core pigment ingredient. (I might be wrong, but believe that's what they are). Tamiya Lacquer Thinner (yellow cap)
LeoTattoo -- this chipping process uses a thinner, water tends to not work in the same manner. Although with MMP, it can for a bit until the full cure sets in. Yes, with the thinner of the brand. (I've used Vallejo thinner in a similar manner inside TA1 in the Tiger). Always test any destructive process out before using it on your own models.
Jon Foisy -- lol, I'd love to hire someone, but RSP is still at a micro-business size and can't for a while. Hopefully, in a couple of years that becomes a reality for real real.

All great stuff, took 2 & ahalf days but then wasn't in a hurry. I know this is a bit off topic but, getting some of the back story about you,... now that's some gold in itself.

[@mechadroit]

Haven't watched the whole stream yet, but have you found any replacement brushes?
