The BLITZ-Roller

1.) Purpose

Application of paint and/or comparable media (such as putty or texturing paste) using a paint roller.

1.1.) Applicable Media

- Oil paint

- Enamel paint

- Putty

- Texture media (anti-slip by AMMO)

- Water effect liquids

1.2.) Primary Effects

- Distorted paint applied with a roller (camouflage, certain paint schemes)
- Even coats of texture media (anti-slip, paint)

1.3.) Secondary Effects

- underlaying irregular coat of paint for weathering effects

- underlaying irregular coat of paint for subtle 3D effects

2.) Scope of delivery

2.1) 10x rolls of solvent resistant foam
2.2) 1x handle

2.3) 1x magnetic tube (preventing the roll from sliding off the handle during use)

2.4) 1x cleaning sieve

2.5) 1x AMMO Anti-slip paste FINE AMIG2034

3.) Features

- solvent resitant foam rolls

- tweakable by cutting irregular patterns into the foam rolls

- tweakable by reducing the length the foam rolls

- magnetic foam roll holder preventing the roll from sliding off the holder

4.) Examples of application

The pictures above only show a narrow part of the spectrum of possible applications.

I also would like to recommend the DRYBRUSH PAINTS by AMMO. Being based on acrylics, these also work just beautifully with our rollers in regards to 2D and 3D effects.
Cast Iron effects is also something that comes to my mind. That would be achieved by working with primer.

Primer is also what has been used on the pictures below:

Roadside Encounter

Blitz Roller doing what he does best: Creating Textures

The road texture has been achieved using the Blitz Roller in combination with AMMO ASPHALT texture paste and AMMO ANTI SLIP texture paste. After a dry-brushing with White, I masked off the side line and just had a go at it. Another way to make the side line visually more interesting would be a combination of airbrush and the roller. The first go with the roller would be rather light, only leaving the chipping effect. A second pass with an airbrush would create a texture with a bit more depth / variation.

Please note the light metallic sheen on the second rail from the left. That´s a classic aircraft natural metal finish (or bare metal finish) NMF/BMF with a black acrylic coat on satin primer. It has a mist of Bright Grey on top plus a Black turpentine wash, mimicking oxydation on galvanized steel plus dirt. The cones should be more dirty with one being left brand new. This was merely a study being made during product development.
