Chipping Strategies and Water-Based Acrylic Finishes: A Detailed Guide
Hello friends, Happy New Year and thank you for joining me today! I appreciate your time and interest. During an AMA with friends, we had an engaging discussion about chipping strategies, which inspired me to revisit an all water-based acrylic finish. I thought it might be good timing to do another project using this technique. Would you like to see that? And on which model? Share your thoughts!
For those new to my work, welcome! My name is Lincoln Wright, and I worked as a studio artist for Maschinen Krieger (Ma.K) in Tokyo, along with other kit makers and hobby publications. My goal is to help you with your journey in our craft and empower you with my tutorials.
Here I completed a Maschinen Krieger Rapoon with a stealth, Night Ops themed custom colorway and scratch-built vignette display base. Here's an overview of the steps I covered in this video tutorial:

Stay tuned for more exciting projects and tutorials. Let me know what you'd like to see next!
