Ultimate Burnishing Liquid Ultimate Products Ever since the introduction of aftermarket metal track sets for model AFV's, modellers have tried to obtain that worn and weathered look. Mostly it was done with paints, graphite and other powders, then came some chemical based liquids onto the market, showing the way to get an authentically worn look. Naturally these were quite caustic as it was their job to burnish the metal to give them a natural worn and distressed look, so some care had to be taken when using them. Ultimate Modelling Products have now entered the market with this new product called Ultimate Burnishing Liquid. As with other manufacturers products you will need to wear protective gloves and use in a well ventilated area as it’s still an irritant to the eyes and respiratory system. Once you’ve assembled you track lengths, all you have to do is pour the Burnishing liquid into a suitably sized plastic container along with an equal amount of tap water. Place the previously cleaned tracks into the solution and move around, agitating with a brush until the desired effect is achieved. This can take any amount of time, but usually between seven and thirty minutes is required. With the track suitably weathered remove the tracks from the liquid and run tap water over them to stop the chemical reaction. Dry thoroughly, and then weather the tracks using your preferred powders and paints before running a sanding sponge over the raised areas to give that used look. Then it’s just a matter of fitting the tracks to your model and that’s it, job jobbed. Conclusion Whilst I haven’t had a chance to use this product, mainly due to a lack of modelling mojo, along with prolonged illness, one of our members has used it on one of his latest builds HERE Knowing the way Ultimate product test everything they make and how well their other products work this Burnishing Liquid should be in every AFV modellers arsenal for that used track look. Very highly recommended. Review sample courtesy of
