Modelling materials (part 8)

I return to the old series. I present to you modeling products with which I deal while working on the figures. Since the publication of the previous article in this series, in my workshop and modeling market appeared a several new products.

Powracam do starego cyklu, w którym prezentuję Wam produkty modelarskie z jakimi mam do czynienia w czasie pracy nad figurkami. Od czasu publikacji ostatniego artykułu tej serii, w moim warsztacie oraz na rynku modelarskim pojawiło się kilka, godnych uwagi nowości.

Weathering Pigments

Secret Weapon Weathering Pigments are made from natural, non toxic materials and can be used to create realistic weathering on scale model projects, dioramas, bases. The technique is as simple as adding a bit of pigment to a brush, or even your fingertip, and gently rubbing it over the area that you'd like to weather. Pigment Sets in Secret Weapon online store are bundled groups of pigment by application, such as rust, or colour sets, such as greens, and include a discount over the individual purchase price. What is most interesting to me, it is that there are such unusual colors: green or blue.

Kolejne pigmenty dostępne na rynku. Wyróżniają je jednak nietypowe kolory. Daje nam to możliwość zastosowania ich w zupełnie inny sposób i w zupełnie innych obszarach modelarstwa. Niebieski pigment możemy np. użyć do uzyskania efektu śniedzi.

Each bottle contains approximately (20ml) of pigment

AK 175 Grey Primer (60 Ml)

Waterborne polymer primer is available in a versatile Neutral Gray color that is perfect for use as a basis for any color. Its superb adhesion qualities combined with a matt-satin finish make this primer the perfect choice for preparing models for painting. Only a light layer of primer is required for full, effective coverage; insuring that every surface detail remain crisp and clean. 

The gray primer has a darker tone than its counterpart of Vallejo.

AK 176 Dark Yellow Primer (60 Ml)

Waterborne polymer primer is available in a Dark Yellow color that is perfect for painting WWII German tanks or sand color vehicles.

AK Interactive in the near future will introduce more colors on the market. This considerably expands the color palette.













Podkłady te zostały opracowane z myślą o użyciu ich z aerografem. Doskonale kryją i są idealnie matowe. Nadają się do metalu, plastiku i żywicy. Ilość kolorów będzie sukcesywnie zwiększana. Podkłady te sa produkowane we własnej fabryce firmy AK-Interactive. Polecam zapoznać się z ulotką informacyjną w postaci PDF: CLICK

AK 712 Acrilic Thinner (60Ml)
Water based thinner especially designed for use with AK-Interactive acrylics. This non-toxic, low odor thinner is also compatible for use with other brands such as Vallejo, Tamiya or Lifecolor paints. Not just the typical alcohol and water based thinner, specially formulated product is ideal for creating the perfect paint consistency for brush and airbrush. It's need to be shake well before using.

Please look at my tutorial Painting true metallics. You can use the new AK thinner in exactly the same way!

Ten rozcieńczalnik farb akrylowych pozwala użyć każdej farby akrylowej w aerografie (Citadel, Pactra, Vallejo...). Idealnie ją rozcieńcza i spowalnia zasychanie.
