Excellent primer on acrylics. The explanation of the basics of materials, tools and their care was timely. It's been sorely neglected in hobby specific media. Then the bonus of painting the trailer was pure motivation. So, Coffee is done, notes made and projects identified. I'm fired up! Thank you Brother Boomer!
Thanks Boomer. Like that sort of stain or water poddle on trailer roof that´s a little bumpy after years of service and water accumulation withbfallen needles or leaves makes the surface rougher with time. A good spot for moss growth. A long standing trailer will eventually sink in the soft ground or tires get flats. Front legs can be put on wood planks for spreading weight. Wish you good hollidays with your family and of course to Dusty, the mascot. And followers too.😊😊😊
Acrylic washes for weathering are a total game changer !! Your techniques and applied skills are outstanding. I’ve been using it for a few years now on not only my armor models but landscape in general. Real life weathering is an accumulation over time, a look that really lends itself to multiple wet on wet acrylic washes. Oils and dry pigment has its place for sure, but a slowly built up, layer upon layer of acrylic washes gives outstanding results !!!
Jeez Boomer... The weathering on that trailer roof is FANTASTIC!!! Great tutorial and I'm not all the way through it yet. Here in the States, you have to order 99% IPA, it's not stocked in stores or pharmacies, but Amazon is convenient enough. FWIW... 91% IPA works just fine with Tamiya. I know you're not going to budge on your techniques... No reason to and I totally get where you're coming from. You're a pro and you stick with what works. No argument from me. That said... For Vallejo and craft acrylics, a great thinner and airbrush cleaner can be had cheap (it's a great cleaner). Windshield washer fluid. I have a jug of the blue stuff that I've been working off for about the last 5yrs, works down to -20° F. But whatever alcohol that's in windshield washer fluid (I think it's Methyl Alcohol) thins just about any acrylic and it makes it dry pretty darn fast, especially shot out of an airbrush. Though water is required when doing wet on wet with those paints, because it WILL quickly soften any acrylic finish you put it over. I use distilled water with an artists wetting agent for that. Anyway... Great video. Don't mind the longer format for tutorials. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Boomer, after 40 plus years as a long distance mover this was great info. Crawling under my trucks to grease and do minor repairs and brake adjustments you got it. Have built about 40 trailers in 1/87, I use Tamiya NATO black as my base color for the chassis then the weathering, your process is great and will be using it. Oh, and thanks, have purchased half dozen Pete conventional through InterCity Hobbies, on line great service. Am partial to Peterbilt having owned conventionals and a cabover. Thanks for the tutorials, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the Twilight Zone south of Canada, to you and yours including Dusty
Another great video. I've been trying this method for the past several months. I've had some success and some failures but I have to say it's a relaxing process. I think my washes are too strong and not enough water. I'll try that next. Thx again for the great video.
Reimer express mile a minute with fuck all in it .lots of clothes from le chateau , to the Bay . Load in Toronto Friday delivery Monday from Burnaby B.C .team drive . Then down BCHP&A yard bobtail in my kenworth .. check out the power .Then over to sapperton check in with the BN operator , Then over to the turf hotel/ royal towers , Oh the 80s . Great modeller you are, and a painter extraordinaire, I’m a scratch build modeler aswell and airbrush , but i always learn from you , I’m sure I’ve crossed path with you somewhere. . Take care thanks
Boomer, yes, you have gone over many of the techniques in previous videos, but that's OK. Part of learning is repetition repetition repetition. I pick up little things each time you share. So keep on repeating as often as you want.
I just found that there is audio version in different language. I lissened some part in french. The IA voice, as usual is robotic. Generally speaking the result is good. Any french speaker should understand reasonably well your teaching. Some part went silent, like when you said to gently remove the trailer´s wheels. Nothing on that point was said. At least in french, i think it´s a good plus to increase your public followers. After all you take so much time to make these documents that it´s worthwhile to have them understandable by most. Now i have to get use to see your videos suggested in french. But prefer your human voice and will stay with yours. Last note. When you mention that some pass vodeos that are too long. Well if you were kind enough to give us 55 minutes for free of your time, how much is it in term of working time to make the final one ? If we can´t offer you that 55 minutes of our life now or at an other moment, i find that a bit disrespectful. Thanks again my friend.

Beautiful work! This is another great video to be bookmarked and viewed over and over. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing your experience, I really enjoy your art 👍
YES NEW BOOMER VIDEO! I save all your videos for when I build my next shelf layout. RESPECT ✊ 🚂🎯🎯

Long videos? Oh yes, please!!

Thank you for sharing, I really enjoy your videos. Question, do you use a primer first or do we need to primer with tamiya paints?
