Quickie Chip Experiment/Test (Using 'AK Interactive' fluids)

[marc_reusser]

This photo was posted on FB by Michael Rinaldi, showing his application/use of the AK fluid for chipping wood for one of his armor projects.



"Here I've made some old painted wood boards to add to the StuH. I pre-painted the bass wood strips with grey and green oils, then brushed on the AK chipping fluid, sprayed the white and removed it brushes and water just like with the hair spray technique. The stuff works great for these loose items. Super simple, took about 15 minutes total."

Did you do the oils as a solid color (sealing coat), or more as a stain?

"Just as a stain to discolor the base wood color. Brushed the chipping fluid on top, sprayed the white and chipped away."

Yeah that Mike certainly does have the chipping to a science. I'm in awe of his work....the man is sick

Superb results ... and, one might guess, another bit of the secret truck ...    -- Dallas

Wow, how could I miss this link!
This is some of the best painting I have ever seen.
And that Corsair in blue is quite similiar to the result I wanted for my engine!

Thanks for sharing.

Rinaldi is terrific. Your work looks to be in the same league. -- Russ

Incredible chipping, especially considering the small size! Those .060" square strips are really small.

Thanks guys. Yeah, I was pretty happy with the final result, was quite fiddly to do the piece without breaking any joints. Took about 4-5 hours to do the whole rack.

Glad to see you were able to build the rack from styrene.
Wish I could have helped , but the end result is very nice!

That rack looks really good.

It seems impossible to make a more realistic rendition, Marc.

Marc,

would you mind a very short kinda SBS or at least an itemization of the things/steps you used/made, as your result on this ...

... is just the finish I'd very much want for my HaWe trolley:


Cheers

Gerald,

Unfortunately I cannot, as this is part of a project for someone, who will publish the painting and weathering info later this year.
