Welcome my friend for a video on the build of this truck 1/24 "Scania Black Amber" from ITALERI First I wanted to apologize for the delay in editing the video delay due to health problems beyond my control sorry if my hands are shaking and my voice is wrong I confess that I have advanced a bit in the work for the moment I am quite disappointed by the quality of the kit the adjustments are very average 🙁 lack of plastic on some sprue I may have come across a bad box…
But may be not… if you look at the instructions there is no color instruction the only color shown is "F" for all these steps and these and these the engine also "F" the only thing that differs is the turbo and the pipes and the two silver junctions so far everything is the same color (F) F is the color code for Flat black all chassis, engine, and suspension parts are flat black without one or two little thing… honestly it's UGLY it's dull 🙁 so I made my way sorry the build was not filmed (because of my health problems) as you can see I made the chassis in black I put a little bit of reflection with gun metal powder I recolored all the bolts with silver vallejo and I painted the motor with different colors from AK interactiv there are nuances with semi gloss – matte – polished aluminium… some silver from vallejo I also put some gun metal on radiator a little dry brush (gun metal) not easy to film (big model) all in Flat black it was sad…
Even if all this will not be visible at the end there is also something that I hate too it's the linkage system you have to melt it is not very reliable we can turn the wheels in one direction but not in the other anyway all this will be seen very little at the end so I'm at the rims stage the rims are in two parts and the chrome is disgusting I removed the chrome with glanzer (floor remover with ammonia) removing the chrome I could see the poor quality of the pieces "sorry" on some pieces it lacks the material some other have "flash" I tried to recover all this, then went from the primer then gloss black base (alclad) here is where I am at the moment this rim is not too bad I had to remove a lot of plastic on this one and on this one I recovered the lack of plastic and it is seen less now another problem is that when we look at the pictures if we look good here the rim is black with chrome bolts and at the back there is a chrome & Amber strapping on the other hand if you look at the top it's not the same thing the colors are different so what choice to make? I do not know I'm going to think about that, but it's hard to choose everything depends on the quality of chrome that I could do is that once the paint chrome put that we will see if it is beautiful here it is let's go for the masking we find ourselves for the rims, it's not easy I did a test with liquid chrom "molotov" with brush it's ugly…
Ugly, ugly and ugly… we see the brush marks it's all disgusting so we can forget the brush with the liquid chrome so we have to use masking I tried with Vallejo masking fluid but it's too thick not enough finesse in setting up even with a small brush the masking tape is not even worth thinking about on a circular surface so we will try the microMASK but the problem is the color dark blue with black it's hard to see where we put it I can not do the opposite and put the mask on the chrome because the chrome will not support the masking and will become dull so I tried that it's hard to see where we put it on the black it will be the discovery during the unmasking first question, is the masking put in the right place? and second question, will liquid chrome support water ? can it all tarnish with water? if so I would find another solution or other rim color let's go I prepare airbrush and find ourselves then the returns …
Two things the first is that liquid chrome is very well with airbrush for chrome effect you need a wet layer unlike AK metal paints that require a thin layer works very well secondly, this is not compatible with water as soon as I put in the water to remove the Micro Mask it became dull so back to square one but this time, I did not assemble the parts of the rims because I will do otherwise I will make each piece of different color the strapping will be amber because the chome does not support the slightest manipulation I just spent the primer 7, 2 for the front, 4 for the rear and the rescue wheel I'm waiting for it to dry these parts will be Gloss black I will use gloss black "ZP" so that there will be no difference in paint brand black ZP for center and Amber ZP for strapping we meet again for painting always use a protective mask with ZP paints with the ventilation you will not hear me …
Go … music, we'll meet later this is finished, result quite good I will recover what is left of painting sorry I made my sting I put this to dry and we look at it but it seems a very beautiful color the lighting is bad here, we find ourselves later Here is the result result with the center of the black rim not bad but I can do better so I had another idea that I will explain later for the moment I will give a little more "gloss" effect to all this I will not show you another airbrush session after I explain to you my idea for chrome I put gauzy agent (AK) with airbrush, good result so I'm going to test my little idea but just on 2 rings I will explain as I go I will try … on a perfectly flat surface to fill the circles with maskol I do not like this product because it stinks there is urea in it so it smells like piss no other word but as I have it in stock, and that my idea is likely to consume a little product I prefer to make my test with this maskol rather than with masking fluid vallejo I will try to fill my circles like pies to get a horizontal level so once the chrome paint done, it will remain to "unmold" finally, in theory …
I'll start with waterproofing the bottom because if I pour directly, it will flow I'm almost sure so firstly waterproofing I'm going slowly and now the second super, you see nothing because I leave in zoom I hope that the other camera will have shown you the beginning arggg no bullshit, no bullshit I hope I have a clean masking let it dry welcome back I did well to make an under layer because it's gone from below I take advantage of it to put on the outside as it is well glued and waterproof so, we'll go with a syringe no idea of the result …. I will fill hoping to have a horizontal limit so…
?? capillarity…?? yes it's seem to be good slowly drip to have the desired level one or two more slowly that's where I do bullshit … a little more here it is…. Yyyyoooppp I will leave like this it's not too bad, there will be just a little chrome strapping the same on the other right in…. wowww.. a little drop anyway we never know don't toutch I would never have better especially do not move the desk and pray for it to work it will take some time to dry see you when it's dry no idea how long it will take drying time, about twenty two hours it's retracted not sure of being horizontal I am not talented I also prepared the front hub covers just some X-1 Tamiya (acrylic) let's go with Liquid Chrome wet layer I do not know if I would let dry or not I'm afraid it will crack if it's too dry I hesitate I totally improvise no idea of the result Am I not going to rip everything off? arrrggg I plant the rubber pies on a clamp I hope…, when the chrome done…
I would catch the circle from below and I would draw the masking without touching the upper part (chrome) *** many troubles, questions and doubts *** maybe good, maybe ugly… no idea… you will see it, live with me 1,1 bar = 15-17 Psi sorry I'll put the ventilation and the lighting will become blue with the LEDs let's go you will have to undergo music thick and wet layer the chrome is very good it's the disorder I will wait …
I do not even know… I do not know, I do not know, I do not know … Let's go, I'm going to test it's live the second not bad now let it dry I have the impression that the result is good I will turn on the other camera do not touch it !! while waiting see it's not bad here is the result, my idea was not so bad … look at the chrome does not support the slightest touch see you latter the trick now is to assemble them i can't touch it…. otherwise at the slightest touch the tarnished chrome haaaaa bullshit I'm just going to drop the piece now no question to ask …
Use of cyano glue very carrefully one drop here here here here sorry I do not pay much attention to the angle of view sorry I spread a little glue I have on the glove, it's not a good idea arrrgggggg F ***…. I let this rim dry I'm trying to show you this closer a lot of work for that see you immediately for the tires I take this opportunity to show you the front tires it could be another story to put the hubcap …. 🙁 too many work for all rim, in any case it will not be seen the rescue wheel the rear inner wheels try not to damage the chrome plating it is not won in this sense Do not Touch…
Do not Touch what am I going to fuck with that… here it is !! waaaoowww haa… I lost the camera from above I do the second and we meet again after the wheels are finished just a shot of chrome on the center bolts (touch it) here is the Final result pretty proud of me, it's been many days of work this will conclude this video video which, in my opinion, is already very very long but with all the work I wanted to show you everything hope, you enjoy if you liked, do not hesitate to put a thumb up otherwise, and well, too bad See you later TCHAO everybody
