Alterung und Verwitterung - aging and weathering

Steve Wilson
Ha! ha! ha! Nice one Roland, you can even print it off as well👍8)👍

Roland Roth
Why waste paper and expensive printer ink, Steve? Scalemates is better than any own database or paper folder.😉
Also, I can share my work with you and be assessed and so get one or the other advice on how I'm doing something better or change. 🙂

Steve Wilson
I'm going to watch your tutorial, I'm very intersted👍

Roland.
Excuse me for being a tad thick!!! But what does "OIF & OEF" stand for??? 🤔

Roland Roth
Steve, these are acronyms for military operations. OIF = Operation Iraqi Freedom / OEF = Operation Enduring Freedom (for Afghanistan)

Frank Krause
Hi Steve!
OIF = Operation Iraqi Freedom
OEF = Operation Enduring Freedom

Steve Wilson
Oh I F-eel O-bviously E-xceptionally F-oolish.
Sorry guys couldn't resist that😢
Thanks for clearing that up for me👍 I understand a bit better now...

Stefan Suessemilch
Aaaahhhh asked myself the same question 🙂

Das zweite Detailwashing ist gemacht - oben hell (neutral) und unten dunkel (braun). Die Einzelteile (nicht fotografiert) erhielten die selbe Behandlung (Bilder 8 - 12)
The second detail wash is done - light up (neutral) and below dark (brown). The individual parts (not photographed) received the same treatment (pic 8 - 12)

Mike Kryza
Very interesting instruction. 👍

Danke für die Tipps. Das ist super hilfreich 👍

Michael, my chipping color is Vallejo Model Color 70822 (German Cam. Black Brown), dilluted with destilled water - a Vallejo Paintbrush 10/0 and time, calmness and patience😉

Maarten Kruizenga
brilliant..............but not only do i have to find this mysterious product called 'patience' it seems i also need 'calmness'!

Steve Wilson
Hi Roland...
Great bit of weathering, but how did you apply it to achieve that great finish???
Airbrush, paint brush, spatula, sponge, flick with a tooth brush...
The result is marvelous. I know what you used and the result but how???🤔

Roland Roth
Steve, how can I explain it? Some filters, some washes ... and what is "too much", I've removed with a slightly damp "white spirit" flat paint brush down. I did this for my own feeling ... so the dirty look came about.
Now I start some streaking effects at different points, to continue editing or altering the appearance. Pictures will follow ...

Maarten, come over with me - I'll show you the things that you can buy anywhere! 😄

Steve Wilson
Roland...
Thanks for that, anything would be useful...
I've never done weathering before.
I've been inspired by you guys to give it a try...
I'm thinking of attempting a Battle scarred 50's/60's Le Mans Ferrari. As an experienced modeller I have an educated idea of the paints and tools used, it's more the method of technical application, brake dust, dirt, chips, crash damage, fuel and oil leakage. How do you make a blob of what is basicly paint, look like a chip in paint?🤔 Do you for example, chip the paint already applied, then paint the mark left with the chip paint🤔

Michel Huijghe
That's very good to let us see how the weathering has been done.

Roland Roth
Unfortunately, my English is not so good, Steve - and now I don't know exactly what do you mean with the scratches / Chipps.
I suppose well thinned paint with the 10/0 brush on stripe again something on a paper towel and dab the paint in one direction only with the brush tip on the model - very little. Or trying to pull a short, small paint mark with very little contact. Here, the brush should be held perpendicular to the surface.
The thinned paint should not be transparent here, otherwise they will not cause the effect.
It is - as with many other things - less often more

Steve Wilson
Hi Roland...
I'm having difficulty translating what I asked you for, into German...
I will ask my mother-in-law (she is German) and will post it soon.
Thanks!!!👍

Roland Roth
Ende des Alterns und Verwitterns! Ich habe ein paar Bilder des "how-to-do" gemacht, wie ich erstmals die AK STREAKING EFFECTS angewendet habe. Nun folgt die Endmontage, die nochmal einiges an Zeit brauchen wird. (Bilder 23 - 38 )
End of aging and weathering! I have made a few pictures of the "how-to-do" about my first use of the AK STREAKING EFFECTS. Now comes the final (assembly, which will again need some time. (pics 23 - 38 )

Steve Wilson
Roland...
The extra pics are very useful, many thanks...
Your doing a great job, well done👍

Frank Krause
Agree with Steve! These step by step pictures are usefull and great! Thanks, Roland!

Ricardo Gonzalez Ramos
Hi Roland, absolut klasse!

Dirk Heyer
An amazingly built model, great weathering and a lovely tutorial!
Thx for sharing this!
I like the Buffalo, I hope this vehicle is available in Braille Scale someday!!!

Mannomann! Eine Anleitung zum Ausdrucken. Wer braucht da noch ein how-to-do-Buch. Klasse Arbeit, Roland.

Bill Gilman
Excellent! Thanks for sharing this tutorial! 🙂

John Coverley
By the time I'd got to photo 15 I thought I was looking at the real thing and not a model! Amazing.

Mike Kryza
Sauberes Modell, saubere Anleitung - da lohnt es sich ein Lesezeichen zu setzen. 👍

Roland Roth
Thx, mates!
I am pleased when the "manual which is good" and you can understand my approach on this model. 😄

Kim Branders
Impressive mate. Very nice result.
