Green Stuff World CHIPPING MEDIUM - WEATHERING AND SCRATCHES is a specialized model liquid dedicated to creating realistic paint wear and scratch effects on models. Presented in a convenient 17ml bottle, this product is a key element in the process of aging and adding authenticity to modeling projects.
Main Application and Purpose
CHIPPING MEDIUM is designed for precisely replicating paint and varnish chipping effects on various modeling surfaces. It allows for simulating natural wear and tear resulting from use, atmospheric conditions, or mechanical damage. It is indispensable for creating the look of military vehicles, aircraft, ships, civilian equipment, as well as miniatures and diorama elements that require a realistic, aged appearance.
Key Technical Features
Volume: 17ml of liquid in a durable bottle.
Formula: The liquid is pre-thinned, allowing for direct use with an airbrush, ensuring even and controlled surface coverage.
Mechanism: Enables controlled peeling of the top paint layer using water, revealing the base color underneath.
Effect: Creates natural and convincing chips and scratches, mimicking damage to the paintwork.
Application Method
Applying Green Stuff World CHIPPING MEDIUM involves several steps, ensuring an optimal final effect:
Apply a base coat of paint to your model in the color you wish to appear as the underlying layer for chips. Once this layer is dry, proceed to the next step.
Evenly apply Green Stuff World CHIPPING MEDIUM liquid over the entire surface coated with the base color. The product is ready for use with an airbrush. Allow it to dry completely.
After the medium has dried, apply your target top coat of paint. Remember not to apply it too thickly, as this could make subsequent chipping difficult.
Once the top coat is dry, use water (e.g., with a brush, cotton swab, or small sponge) to locally moisten and gently chip away the upper paint layer. Water activates the medium, allowing for controlled removal of the top paint layer and revealing the base color, creating scratch and chip effects. The intensity of the effect can be adjusted by the amount of water and pressure applied.
Compatibility with other modeling elements
CHIPPING MEDIUM is compatible with most types of acrylic paints, both as a base coat and a top coat. It can be used on various modeling materials, including plastic, resin, metal, and photo-etched parts. Its versatility makes it a valuable tool for modelers working in all branches of scale modeling.
