Duo and AQYLA, etc. Just as painting materials are evolving on a daily basis, various products for hobbies have appeared.
However, as mentioned earlier, all paints are basically made from pigments and medium combinations, as introduced in the previous article*1.
In other words, the same paint for both painting and hobby. There is nothing to use this lab product for plastic models and figures.
Hobby is free! !
Try various materials and try your own hobby road.
We recommend "Vitler Yu" and "Fantasprism" sold by PEBEO for such hobby fans.
"Vitler Yu" series
"Fantasprism" series
This art material is suitable for applying a smooth surface, such as canvas and paper, glass and metal.
When it is completely dried, it becomes a lacquer -like texture ...
You can create a structural picture, like an insect compound eye.
The surface is dry in about 6 hours because it uses an oil -based alchid resin as a glue material. Because the transparency is very high, by combining Vitler Yu and prism, such multiple layers can be expressed, and a smooth glossy and tough coating that is not found in water paints.
ThereI heard you, The alternative space "My Home Studio" somewhere in Tokyo, which appeared in*2 before.
(*2Connect the artists and materials ~ Pigment Material Conference Vol.2 ~)
Our workshop, sponsored by Writer Gaigan Yamazaki, produces original monsters costumes and soft vinyl dolls.
This time, Emperor Hayama, the chief of my workshop, used Vitler Yu and Prism.
What kind of work will be created from the monster monster's hideout?
"Dem Silon, a blue -sized ovary agent", the original monster of my home workshop.
The left is the normal color, and the right is the unpainted state. The original molding color is Sky Blue.
It is said that it is mainly colored with Nagashima's soft vinyl color.
And here is a reborn figure by PEBEO Vitler Yu and Prism.
Great power! !
I feel glossy and solid color compared to soft vinyl paint.
The finish is exactly full of the gloss of alchid resin.
This time, we talked to the concept of the production and the impression of actually using the company's paint, and talked to the two people in our workshop.
-What kind of concept did you make this time?
Geigan Yamazaki: The current monster soft vinyl is a real -like -oriented like real thing, including those for children lined up in a toy shop, but until the 70's, the mainstream was that the deformed modeling was a tricky. The soft vinyl in my workshop may be close to those of that time.
Emperor Hayama: The normal color of Dem Silon is also the intention of the president (Yamazaki), so it is painted that takes advantage of the molding color, but the paint used this time is very transparent, so the method is not changed. I didn't get it.
Yamazaki: There is also a situation that the remaining Dem Silon was a marble -molded color. Considering the effects of the base, it would be better to apply the whole with one color. It is a method called "walnut painting".
Hayama: We adjusted the viscosity to blow with an airbrush, repeated gradations, and changed the color of the base in the first place, and proceeded with the production while repeating trial and error.
Various coloring tests were performed with a body for painting.
-What kind of concept did you decide on the color?
Yamazaki: I suggested that Vitlayu and Prism have the glossy and color feeling that it is better to simply narrow the number of colors than in various colors. If he leaves it alone, he will make it more and more colorful (laughs).
Hachiyama: At first I tried it with a silver base, but it became a pale shade because of its high transparency. So, when I changed the base to a similar color, it came to make it strong and beautiful. The base is all soft vinyl color.
Similarly, it is an elementary body for painting, and the theme color determination of this time.
-Do you have any discerning points when producing this version?
Hayama: The motif is an insect called "Otenchikogane", which has a characteristic metal gloss. The green part was painted by mixing Vitler Yu's Apple Green and prism emerald.
In addition, it would be nice to be able to reproduce the texture with a polarized sense of oosenchikogane by blowing a crimson on the edge part.
Yamazaki: It looks like "Nijiiro Kwagata". Initially, Hachiyama was trying to produce only with Vitler Yu and Prism, but he said that it would be better to use the usual paint partially to add the overall sharpness. Specifically, the red of the eyes, the silver of the teeth and the blade of the arm, the black of the legs, and the gold of the boots. The coloring of the lower body is the image of the gel shocker monster*3 that appears in the first "Kamen Rider".
(*3 There were many combinations of black tights and yellow boots)
Just like a scarin beetle. The shoulders are attractive with the glitter of prism.
The eyes use GSI Creos's Mr. Color Clear Red.
On the base, a soft vinyl color gold is used as in the bellows.
-If you look closely, you can really express various textures.
Hayama: After blowing Vitlayu's gold once and blowing oranges from above, layers of various colors, such as layers of various colors, were able to create such a texture. Unlike teeth and arm blades, the silver of the abdominal flame is applied. However, due to the strong commitment of the president, I made it feel less colored at first glance.
-But it is different when you look closely.
Yamazaki: If it is a product for monster enthusiasts and soft bubbles, the approach of painting like a stupid is also an ant. However, this time it was a work that stopped in the eyes of other genres, so I was conscious of some kind of easy -to -understand. It is a success if the sinking tone of the lower body seems to enhance the overall gloss.
Do you know this exquisite gaze difference?
These delicate commitments are unique to my workshop.
When arranged with Vitler Yu's glossy, the black matte stands out.
-Please give us your impressions of using this paint.
Yamazaki & Honayama: It was hard! ! (lol)
Yamazaki: The soft vinyl color is drying quickly. From one to one, you can put a new color. On the other hand, this paint takes six hours to dry and dries, so it took time to try and error to reach the coloring of green + gold.
Toyama: After all, it took three days to work after the color was decided. But in the end, I think it was a very convincing finish. By using paint that is different from usual, the idea of a new monster has expanded.
-If you have any announcements at the end, please.
Yamazaki: Recently, design cooperation and collaboration projects for other companies are increasing, so it is difficult to advertise it, so online shops."My Family Shokai"Please link to (laughs).
We sell goods such as our monster soft vinyl, seal, and clear files. In addition, we are waiting for the request of the event appearance!
