1/24 Tasca PzII, KURKS

...

Recently I have finished a new scale model. Although seemingly the aspect belongs to a normal model, with its weathering and effects, I should say that this Panzer supposed a very big challenge for my, because this was painted using acrylic paintings exclusively. You can believe that it is simple, but when you want to make stumped effects, fading or oxide stains, the task is very complicated. How to get that aspect so special that only the enamels or the oil can offer? For me it was a different project that never before had made it. And I should say that it is necessary to change the steps completely and to create a new order for the washes, chips, fading, etc.. But I think that this is a good alternative for many people that cannot work with enamels. It doesn't neither exist the strong scent to paint thinner.

I made this project for Vallejo ACrylics Company that has been the base for the creation of a new DVD that will be for sale soon.

Recientemente he terminado una nueva maqueta. Aunque aparentemente el aspecto es de un modelo normal, con su envejecido y efectos, debo decir que este Panzer supuso un reto muy grande para mi, porque fue pintado utilizando exclusivamente pinturas acrilicas. Podeis creer que es sencillo, pero cuando quieres hacer efectos de difuminados, desgastes o manchas de óxido, la tarea es muy complicada. ¿Cómo conseguir ese aspecto tan especial que sólo los esmaltes o el óleo puede ofrecer? Para mí fue un proyecto diferente, que nunca antes lo había hecho. Debo decir que es necesario cambiar completamente los pasos y crear un nuevo orden para los lavados, desconchones, desgastes, etc..

Pero pienso que esto es una buena alternativa para muchos personas que no pueden trabajar con esmaltes. No existe tampoco el fuerte olor a aguarrás.



Filters, washes, fading, mud, rust, chips, metal effects, dust, etc...wwere made using only Vallejo Acrylic products.


Even decal applicators is acrilic based from Vallejo.

Water colors, Vallejo Acrylic washes, retarders and glazes was used during the process.

The DVD will be for sale in 1 month or 1 month and a half, and is available in English narration with spanish captions. This volume cover all areas of AFV modelling, from the base color to the last touches. I hope you like it.
Thanks

  1. Have You considered english captions? I personally use english captions if available, for english not being my primary language.

  2. Well...I needed to choose between spanish acptions or enhlish, and I decided spanish to cover two lenguages. But I promese you that the english narration is very clear and simple even for non natives as you or me. Also, the footage is very clear and easy to follow even without sound or text. But I am working with new programs to make the future DVDs in multilenguage, even if the final cost can be a little higher. :-(

  4. How is this DVD going to be encoded? PAL? NTSC? Both?

    Who is going to be selling it? Vallejo? If so I will have to get my Pre-Orders in with my supplier now!

  5. It looks much more clear that not technique but talent is the most important factor in modelling. For many years I tried myself to duplicate your effects in my models with acrylics only. I have almost decided to try oils and oil washes in my models. At now I am confused...
    Thank you for sharing, more similar models please.

  10. Saludos desde Portugal, Miguel.

    A very interesting challenge that was proposed to you by Vallejo! The result shows your natural talent and a lot of work that is an inspiration to us all. It looks more demanding than weathering the model by using pigments only, there seems to be a lot of paintbrush techniques involved. I'm sure I will have a good time watching this, mostly because I've been having a great time experimenting with Vallejo paints, this way I'll learn some secrets by a Master modeller!

  11. Siendo pintor principalmente de figuras, este DVD creo que será una compra obligada, ya que me gusta aplicar ciertas técnicas propias del pintado de tanques a mis figuras, y el poder hacerlo con los mismos productos acrílicos que uso para pintar normalmente me parece una gran ventaja (y un ahorro económico y de espacio, que nunca está de más ;D)

    Un saludo y enhorabuena por tu trabajo con el blog.

  15. Me alegra de ver este trabajo. Te seguí desde hace tiempo (de cuando estabas en Molins de Rei) en las revistas y en Panzernet y precísamente por el no poder en esa época usar disolventes adapté las técnicas al uso exclusivo del acrílico y la verdad es que si se tiene cuidado y paciencia los resultados pueden ser muy buenos.

    Estoy ansioso de ver este DVD y ver a qué conclusiones has llegado. Felicidades por tu nueva andadura. Te deseo lo mejor.

  16. Ayer compre y vi el DVD y tengo que decir que vale mucho la pena. Es sorprendente los resultados que se pueden obtener solamente con productos acrilicos. El material es de primera calidad, 100% profesional y muy aprovechable.

    Un 10 para MIG Jimenez y para Vallejo por este excelente producto.
