Are Oil Paints Better Than Enamel Washes??? | Jagdtiger 331 | Takom 1/35
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
My friends, it's time for a small change. This time we're going to paint over the entire model with various oil paints in order to create numerous effects - pin washes to outline all the details, oil dot filters for that nice, faded surface, and ambient occlusion/fake highlights and shadows to compensate for that 3-tone German camouflage without any special effects such as color modulation, zenithal light or distressing. So how do oil paints stand up against pre-mixed enamel weathering products?

Thanks for another great video. I've not built a tank for some years, but I still find your techniques and hits helpful for both wargame, plane and train models. So don't put yourself down - you are helping modellers even if they don't paint tanks. See you next week Tony
Please, add the figure (resin tank crew) to see how do you build and paint it. Cheers! 🍺🥴

Oh yeah, That fake light and shadow effects method is great martinology. This I shall try, thank you. And to everyone in the upcoming holidays may you all be blessed and safe.
Perfect done. German "land" crosses were white in the very early war period, and it was changed due to high visibility of them. All the best for You! ;)

waiting for your videos every week! Thanks!
Great new intro! Awesome weathering! Another interesting and helpful video. 👍
I was recommended your videos awhile ago and about a month and a half ago you inspired me to get back into scale modeling and I am so glad I found your videos. Thank you Martin for helping me re find an old hobby

Great job , oil washes are the best, always learning and changing, and having fun 👍👍👍👍👍
That oil wash was pretty sick man! how fast it worked so cool. I only use acryl washes, but after seeing this I would try oil washes.
Spectacular, meticulous, perfect...😍😍😍...Once again!
Extremely useful as always. I'll definitely be using theses techniques in my kt build. Looking forward to the next vedio.
Friday is the best day of the week. Im very happy you are making this jagdtiger because previous to you I worked on a tiger 2, just with darker green and brown so now I am evaluating what did I do right and what to improve :)
I always have something to look forward to on Friday
Thanks for the concise oil wash recommendation.
Very nice mode and video!
Martin, first I have to say your videos are fantastic. Entertaining, informative, funny, and your end results are amazing. I'm getting back into modeling after many decades spent on other hobbies and was wondering if you'd mind sharing what products you like for both the satin clear coat you mentioned in this video and your end result matt coat. Thanks again and keep up the great content my friend!
Another outstanding video and presentation.
Oh wow, this is looking real good!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Martin: my light went out during filming Me: wait when?
happy friday! I used to use oils, went in a different direction, didn't like the results. Now you've renewed my faith in oils! Nice job.
My country got into quarantine again, but your videos will definitely help to combat boredom
Dear Martin, Excellent tutorial. Keep well & keep safe. Kind Regards Johnny
I love your videos and looking forward to seeing more of them.
Yaaaas! Tbh completely forgot it was Friday until I saw this
Friday is amazing!
I've been waiting for this to be uploaded for a long time
I've been subscribed and notified for close to a year I think. I remember that when I first started watching you, you sounded kind of nervous but you got it good now. Keep up the good work, and I don't do armor, always been an airplane nut.
looks amazing so far
Looking really good!
I used the oil dot method but just with acrylic Vallejo paints on a 1/35 Sherman and it looked better than I thought
Great video, Oils are so great for blending, starting using them on figures, cheaper aswell. Some of the Japanese scale modellers I follow only seem to use oils to weather.
" black and white photos of JT 331 clearly show the red and white crosses". Magnificent.
Thanks for showing how easy and simple this nice camo scheme is to make!

Looking fantastic.
I've never made the switch to fancy-pants enamels. Now Night Shift has made them obsolete again.
Another benefit to your dots after washes approach [at least to my lazy wargamer brain] is the filter adds subtle highlights to the washed areas, This is most noticeable on your tool clamp welds as you blend the sides, it transfers like a drybrush highlight.
That's a chunky Jagdtiger. Ahhh another night shift to complete the week.
Love your work
Oils are so much more user friendly. I'm very glad you've discovered this.
Hi, I’ve only had one attempt at a Tank, it was the Dragon King Tiger, ‘Battle if they Bulge’ and only got it due to the box art. I didn’t m as make a good job, and stuck with aircraft. But having only recently discovered your channel, and love it, especially how you explain everything. I’m tempted to have another go at armour 👍🏻 Jason 🇬🇧
That is going to be one very nice Jagdtiger. One thing I have found in my own use of oils, is; to get the best paint you can afford. The cheaper brands do not have a high pigment density. The upper ended ones do. Very nice job. See you guys next week.
Per Hillary Doyle, the red crosses are authentic for late war German tanks. There is even a Stug at the American Cavalry museum that is still in its original paint and it has a red cross on it. Not very well known, but the red crosses were a thing for a short time at the very end of the war.
Working on weatherin with oils is my favourite part of painting. Your attitude is simply brilliant. But with a wife and kids, there is less spare time :)
This is fantastic! As an oil painter on canvas for 30 years all I can say is I cannot wait for you to try the following challenge (maybe on a little 1 7/2 scale slap together model): Prime as usual then camo using brush and oils! Pin wash after the camo. Weather etc... ALL in OIL.
Great video my friend really helpful stay safe 👍👍
Thanks, happy weekend¡💯
Amazing job👌
Looks really cool.
Lol 😂 I have also developed a certain addiction to this specific wash for some time now. I use it practically everywhere, from tanks to aircrafts, ships and dioramas.... up to a wooden trestle bridge for an 1/160 railroad diorama, it's just the right color for everything! 😁
I used oil for washing. Then I started using AK washes. Now I think that oil is still more practical because using the same colors you can make one mixture for the filter, the second mixture for washing and another one for tinting. You just need to correctly select the oil paints according to the size of the piment grind.
Hey, loving the way this model is going! I have quick question: How long do you leave the dots to dry on the surface before you start to blend? And do you blend with a ry brush, or with a little bit of thinner? I've tried doing the oil dots on a few models, and never managed to get results I was happy with. :(
looking awesome so far. I've always found difficult to make affects on that kind of camouflages patterns so I tend to avoid them but now I see that is actually not that hard. Thanks for this vid !!!

To make your oil wash dry faster and have better pigmentation apply the oil paint to a paper towel and leave it for about 5-10 minutes to absorb the linseed oil from the paint. Makes life so much easier.

Can only imagine how much not-fun oil paints are on a model, I was using boiled linseed oil on wood and it takes 4 to 5 days to dry!
Thanks for another great video!
I liked this video. I don't use oils that much, but it's always so easy. Also, the lighting wasn't noticable at all, I wouldn't have known if you didn't mention it.
Love it! Need to get a few, having a soft spot for '13', as in 305013, 113, 313 and Otto Carius' own 213! I've also bought a Trumpeter 1/35 KV-122, to do a '46 What If....should be fun, looking for some WWII Soviet slogans to put on it.... Keep those excellent videos coming my friend! 🤜🏻🤛🏻🍻
Call me crazy but CHALK WASH, cheapest option, subtle, easy to control, dries fast but also can always be changed unless u add a coat, and you can also use the chalk as pigments to make dirt stains or things like exhaust stains etc.
Just today I remembered that it was Friday) I'm anticipating a great time :3
In Soviet Russia we take oil paints by "Nevskaya Palitra" ($2 for 46ml tube) and thinned it by technical white spirit ($1,5 for 1000ml in glass boutle). It may stink the entire floor of an apartment building, but we are get used to. P.S. This is joke, ofcourse. Tikkurila 1050 makes great for this case. But oil pains like "Ladoga" and "Master-Class" is very good for people who can't buy even Wilder paints. From Russia with love!
Interesting ! thanks uncle Martin
Thank you. Well done
Yes, its very very good, you are the man.
Can't wait for the follow up on chipping and rust tones, just picked up the full line of oilbrushers myself! Thanks NightShift

This is gold😎
Already one year that I'm a subscriber, and I don't even model tanks! It would be interesting to see how you handle an airplane model (tank killer A-10?). I like oil paints, but always struggled with washes. I just got my first enamel wash bottle today, I would use it as reference.
Oils are awesome, I love'em
i just got a Takom Tiger 2 and im gonna try alot of these techniques on that to see how it goes. Im more an aircraft modeler but i wanna get more into armor.
If you're slow, I guess I belong to the "glacial modeller" category. You seem to just pound these amazing models out on a weekly scale.
