So cold! Think I'd want gloves on before I touched that. |

Man, that is a nice piece of work. I've never heard of chipping fluid before. Anyone know of a guide to using the stuff? |

Needs to run through the car wash! |

@Nick
It's the same as the hairspray technique.

The chipping fluid or hairspray "just" acts as a weak barrier. Nice work – as usual – Piers. |

Cheers guys. While the idea of the chipping is the same as the hairspray method, it does work in a more refined manner. I applied it by airbrush so the deposits are smaller and finer than with hairspray. This allows you to be more exact in what you remove. I also used the Mig Ammo 'washable' white paint which is said to mimic real whitewash in how it acts when removed with water. It kinda does and you do get a very realistic look. It takes a little time though, and although I wouldnt want to do a fleet of vehicles in this manner, it would be nice to do 5 or 6 vehicles for a nice winter themed skirmish set. Gonna try it on 28mm next… |

How does that washable white paint compare to white gouache?
You have to spray with varnish to fix it ( once dry, obviously ). And have you tried atelier interactive?
You can "re-activate" and remove the latter a while after it is touch dry using water. It remains soluble for a while.
And you can add extender to increase it's open time. |

AFAIK Not so much slippery as water soluble.
If you soaked your model in hours then the paint could come off but once it's dried properly and been varnished it should stand up to handling.
Possibly not as well as if you'd not sprayed some soluble gunk on.
I've not used it since I don't really like the extremely worn and chipped effect. Gouache is water colour and some stuff thickens it. Therefore water soluble. It soaks up varnish you spray on and will then not be water soluble once dry.
Dullcote is varnish so yes. Atelier interactive eventually dries completely. It just dries rather different than regular acrylic. |
