Chipping Set – Realistic Weathering for Mechas and Models
The Chipping Set is designed to help modelers create natural paint wear and battle damage effects. Chipping, one of the most popular weathering techniques, simulates scratches, flaked paint, and exposed metal, giving your models a more authentic and dramatic appearance. With this set, you can reproduce everything from subtle scratches to heavy paint peeling on mechas, armored vehicles, aircraft, and even sci-fi builds.
What’s in this collection
Currently, the highlight of this collection is the AMMO by MIG Chipping Set for Mechas with ATOM Paint. This kit combines specialized products: a chipping medium that makes paint layers easy to remove in a controlled way, base and top colors from the ATOM acrylic line, and step-by-step instructions. The paints are formulated for smooth application through both airbrush and brush, offering flexibility depending on your project. Even though the set is labeled for mechas, its applications extend to tanks, planes, cars, and any model where exposed undercoats or heavy use need to be represented.
Benefits, uses, and techniques
Using the Chipping Set is straightforward. Apply a metallic or rust-colored base coat, then add the chipping medium before your main color. Once the top coat is dry to the touch, gently moisten the surface with water and use a brush, sponge, or toothpick to remove small areas of paint. This reveals the base color beneath and creates realistic wear patterns. The advantage of a dedicated set is that you have compatible products engineered to work together, avoiding common issues like peeling too much paint or uneven textures. For mechas, chips around joints and edges simulate heavy combat use. For tanks, scratches on hatches, fuel caps, and fenders tell the story of rugged service. On aircraft, chipping near wing roots, panels, and walkways reflects operational wear.
Why choose this Chipping Set
Instead of mixing products from different ranges and experimenting blindly, the Chipping Set offers a complete solution, giving you confidence and saving time. With high-quality ATOM paints and AMMO by MIG expertise, you can achieve professional weathering results even if you are new to the technique. Expand your skills, add character to your builds, and make your models stand out on the display shelf or competition table. Bring realistic weathering to your bench with the Chipping Set.
