Water soluble acrylic colours for modelling and hobby. Lifecolor is excellent for paint brushing or airbrushing on plastic and resin. Getting tracks to look realistic is an ago-old modelling challenge. We have various HD videos and help in your Techniques Bank here in SMN but new variations on a theme continue to emerge and here’s another manufacturer offering a painting and weathering solution using pigments. We’ll be looking for an opportunity to try out this pigment/paint combo, so keep an eye out in your Armour Techniques bank areas of SMN for that. In this latest paint set from Lifecolor there are 6 bottles – 3 pigments and 3 paints:
- PG 110 Reflecting Agent
- PG 105 Dry Rust
- PG 106 Damp Rust
- UA 904 Rubber Track
- UA 905 Track Intermediate Wear
- UA 906 Old Track
Using Lifecolor:
- Clean surfaces to be painted
- For airbrushing, dilute the colour to a milky consistency using water or Lifecolor Thinner.
- Airbrush at very low pressures. (Iwata airbrushes give the excellent performance and atomisation at low pressures.)
- Apply colour in thin coats with a brush or airbrush
- Allow to dry completely between coats
- Clean your airbrush with airbrush cleaner and flush through with water
