Ultimate Products 10/10

[Steve64]

Hi guys

I just ordered my first batch of Ultimate products and I have to say I am impressed. The order reached me in good time (I live in Switzerland so its never super speedy, but the order was delivered as quickly as any others) and the products were nicely packaged, even down to the liquid items being packed in their own sealed plastic bags.

I just tired the Ultimate buffers and wow they are magic. After a general sanding with 600 grit Tamiya sanding sponge, the Ultimate buffers turned the oddly textured plastic on Italeri's Mirage IIIc into a beautiful smooth and shiny finish and blended filled seam-lines , er... seamlessly. They are also really easy and forgiving to use. If you haven't tried them already I thoroughly recommend getting some and trying them out.

If the new primer, airbrush cleaner and thinner I also ordered are as good, then my days of experimenting with products are over.

Great products fellas!

Have a good day.

Steve

I'm a long time convert to the Ultimate tools of the trade, I'm always finding new ways to use the washes.

Thanks for the review. Been considering using Ultimate for some time. Expensive shipping to the US though.

There is one US reseller, I'm on mobile so I don't have the link readily available. Maybe someone can drop it here for you.

Edit: had it bookmarked on my phone: http://www.hobbyworld-usa.com/Store/

Now if only Ultimate sold pigments..........

They do, just let some of the wash evaporate in a pot and voila!

Dude, that is frikkin genius.

I've never understood the difference between using pigments and pastels. I have never used pigments and I've only used pastels as a wash, how do you use a pigment as a powder?

Depends on the effect you want, for surface dirt or dust, exhaust stains etc i just rub them onto a flat coat with a short bristled brush, for textured surfaces like rust or mud then i stipple them onto a glaze medium.

Cool, thanks for the tip. Its all in the type of surface. Makes perfect sense.
