Modélisme et impression 3D - Scale Models and 3D printing



Tutorial

Our models, except the Fullcolor models, have to be painted. The painting of our models is done without difficulty even by a novice modeler. It takes as much time as mounting a plastic injected kit for a more satisfactory result.

A primer is painted with a brush to the whole kit.

The Fritted polyamide is covered with a thick acrylic paint beige light color. Clean the remaining deposits powder before painting.

The Acrylic polymer receives khaki Humbrol Enamel. Never use acrylic paint for a first layer on this material.


Then we pass to the first coat of paint. Only water acrylic paints are used here:

- brown on the doorframes.
- Gray on zinc elements
- Green on the shop (the door is glued on).
- Red on the ridge tiles
- Red for bricks + white juice after drying to mark the joints.

The technique of painting juice is quite simple. On the paint palette, diluted some paint with water. And then applied on the surface. The excess is blotted immediately with a dry brush or with a damp sponge.


After a few hours we can pass to the second coat of paint:

- Brown juice at the store for the dirtying.

- Dark gray juice on all the pieces of masonry.
- White juice on brown frames and shop.


After complete drying, we print the pattern and positioning the various parts.

Cluster parts were gradually detached during the painting phase.
