Got a question about techniques, materials or other aspects of physically building a model? This is the place to ask.

Post by joscalse »

Hi!

I know a lot of people already look these videos:

Can some one tell what kind of compound he is using for cleaning the model after the wash?

Thanks

The video description reads "panel lines with Tamiya Enamel paints, cleaned up with enamel thinner." I don't know if he means Tamiya enamel thinner or another brand, but I would assume he means Tamiya.

It is mentioned in the video that after the intial cleanup using thinner, he completes the cleanup using a polishing compound. This is because if you continue with the thinner you're going to lift the wash as well.
