ISM Modelling Technique Videos - Parts 1-11

Paul · Post by **Paul** » Thu Jun 20, 2013 11:15 pm

Here you go, I've spent this afternoon filming this as well as part two (which will be up tomorrow).

I hope it helps in some way.

This may not be the right way or the way you choose to build but its the way I like to do it.

I will video build it, but not for the model itself but the techniques along the way

So I'm thinking 14 15-20 min videos and I'll cover

1 Cockpits, airbrushing and hand painting
2 Cockpit weathering
3 Fuselages, glueing, filling, sanding.
4 Wing sections, gluing and filling.
5 Rescribing
6 Masking canopies
7 Priming
8 Preshading & Airbrush cleaning
9 Airbrushing techniques
10 Masking Camo patterns (splinter in this case)
11 Decaling
12 Weathering + matt cleacoating
13 Finishing touches, antenna wires, etc

Any comments please feel free to post below

Yeah, thought the switch had already taken place; isn't that what you annonced earlier today? Okay, in 2 days time then (I think I already asked this somewhere?) and is there or will there be a URL/link ?

Thx

edit: it just dawn on me; maybe it's in the video...which I never played, yeah, that's probably it.

Post by **Lee** » Tue Jun 25, 2013 10:26 pm

Don't worry mate - It'll be posted up on the site once uploaded.

We've got quite a bit to sort out moving all the vids across to the IMS channel from the other two at the moment

Paul,

Thank you for part 2

I'm hoping this might be a useful suggestion. I had trouble seeing what the dry brushing did. Do you thiink a few stills along the way could help seeing detals? I hope the picture gives you an idea of what I'm thinking of.

Thanks,

MM

Sadly it's a bit too late for pictures Jan

as the cockpit is glued into the fuselage. Plus that is not the cockpit for that plane so I'm not sure what its doing on my video still

These are invaluable Paul.
Thanks for doing all of these, there is a hell of a lot of time and effort invested in them. I'll certainly be putting them to use when I build my BF 109.

Cheers mate, I don't mind doing it for the forum, video rendering editing and uploading is a lot faster (I save about 6 hours) with my new MacBook as it used to take forever with the old laptop, so it's not as much of a chore now

Coen · Post by **Coen** » Sun Aug 18, 2013 12:18 am

Wow... you're all high tech and stuff though.
I just turn the camera on and blabber all over the place for 30 to 50 minutes. Then I stick on my new intro thingys and upload.
Booooring.
Your hard work definitely shows.

Coen · Post by **Coen** » Wed Aug 28, 2013 4:09 am

Again with the helpful. I was just look at canopy of my own BF109 to see how to do the masking.
I may combine what you just showed with the cellphone flashlight method.

Paul · Post by **Paul** » Wed Aug 28, 2013 8:24 am

Cheers fellas, no idea what was going,on with the white balance that day no matter what I did it just kept whiting out.

That vid also shows why I need a 2nd overhead camera, trying to tackle a tricky modelling technique on camera while watching 2 different monitors (the cameras and my overhead one) it's hard to keep in shot sometimes.

Just put a tiny bit of tape on your mat as a marker and you wont have to keep looking at the monitors mate....

Great stuff lads

hooterville75 · Post by **hooterville75** » Fri Aug 30, 2013 3:08 am

This is just super. I can mask it just super. When it comes to cutting is where I suffer. Is there a trick to the way you angle your hobby knife when you cut the tape ? IT didnt matter how I cut, when I cut it left a blade scratch in the canopy. I changed blades four times and got a gouge every time. Is there a special blade size just for canopies or is it a standard #11 blade ? Your blade appeared to be a considerable bit smaller then the #11. I realize this canopy in my first plane ever painting it looks horrible but this wont defeat me. I will beat this battle.

Its just a knack you get after a while, i use the tamiya knife which does have smaller blades than say a swan number 11 but it should still work as well, make sure its a brand new blade and as i do in the video, go over the line once with the knife lightly then slightly harder on the next pass and you should feel the blade hit the plastic

Glad to have you back. Id go nuts without internet for five days Sir. Thanks so much for putting the next part up. Getting ready to view it right directly after this. Cant wait for part 8. Thanks so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to do this type of video for us. I myself truly appreciate all the valuable information from this tutorial video series.

Bridon · Post by **Bridon** » Mon Oct 14, 2013 7:34 am

Yes, thank you for doing this for us all...this video series is so very helpful especially to a 'returner' like me who has to re-educate to the current methods of this wonderful hobby of ours

I have watched all of your videos and I am waiting for the rest. I want to contribute to all the thanks you get too, I have learned many things from them on how to do that and that. I am becoming so addicted to this stuff (building models), always hurry home to try a newly learned stuff, even my wife started to look at me strange

(I wonder why?

)

Where can a person get a look at the products offered and the costs of the Ultimate modeling products ? Im in the market for some airbrush cleaner, and most of all sanding sponge sticks.

Hey Deron, the airbrush cleaner and the thinners aren't available to ship outside the UK just yet. They're flammable eh? So shipping methods and distribution have to be sorted.

hooterville75 · Post by **hooterville75** » Thu Oct 24, 2013 9:06 am

I'm more interested n the sanding sponge sticks especially if they r what is being used n the videos

Post by **Lee** » Thu Oct 24, 2013 9:09 am

emodels and snmstuff will ship to the US

Are you using Ultimate Sanding sponge sticks in this video series ? If not what brand are you using ? They seem like quality and very good sanding sponge sticks and Id like to pick up some of these.
