I have Burned & raw Umber for dark browns & Burnt & raw Siana for light browns. I all so got Ivory black which is more of a dark grey than black. I have always been a fan of Vallejo's washes for panel lines, but oils just offer more control & easy clean-ups.

Excellent and informative video. I have oil paints, but still using Tamiya panel liners 😂. You are quite right about satin varnish, it works best. My favorite final varnish is AMIG ultra matt lucky varnish...

A very helpful video, thanks. Unless it was mentioned and I missed it - can oil washes be used over acrylic paints such as Vallejo?

@ModellingWeekly

6 ай бұрын

No problem! I've never used them directly over the paint, so I can't be 100% sure, but theoretically it should be fine as white spirit doesn't react with acrylics. The oil in the oil paint may react with it however, so I'd always recommend laying down a varnish layer before using oils 👍 Edit: I should add, theoretically the oil shouldn't react either, but chemical makeup can vary between acrylic paint brand and I've had disasters due to that in the past, so best not to take any chances

I made a mistake recently by applying an oil based wash over an enamel gloss cote...i forgot the thinner for the wash is also an enamel thinner!! result- paint peeling off and salvage measures needed!! - thanks for this tutorial. - wish I 'd seen it before !!

I'm looking into using oil washes for my Warhammer models so this video was great for explaining the basics. However what safety precautions/equipment do you need when working with white spirits, or is working in a well ventilated space enough?

@ModellingWeekly

White spirit vapours are definitely not the worst you could encounter in modelling, however I'd definitely make sure your workspace has good air flow as breathing in large quantities over time can be harmful. As I say however, don't stress about it too much, just don't get complacent with these sort of chemicals 👍

Thanks for the video, nice tips and tricks. My biggest issue is a can never clean away all the excess and end up blending instead. Can't ever seem to make a nice crisp, clean model. I suspect it's my low quality oil but don't know for sure. Any ideas?

@ModellingWeekly

6 ай бұрын

If you're having trouble with removing all the excess oil, it's most likely down to the surface underneath - if your goal is to remove it all so you're left with crisp panel lines, you'll want to go for a nice smooth gloss varnish layer (I recommend GX-100) Also, make sure the excess oil from the paint has been removed beforehand on a piece of card :)

Can I use the blending method with white spirit to make things like gun smoke on aircraft cannons?

@ModellingWeekly

6 ай бұрын

You can! It's a slightly different technique, as you first have to lay down a thin layer of white spirit on top of which you can apply oil paint and blend it gradually, but it's the same sort of idea. For that you will definitely want a satin or Matt varnish undercoat, as they allow for much easier blending

Hi. Im using Tamiya acrylics with xf-86 matt varnish, then decals and oil washes, then x-22 gloss varnish for finish. I know Tamiya have X-35 semi-gloss but didnt tried yet, they dont have satin tho. Do you know any satin varnish for airbrush that would be a good replacement for matt coat to ease removing excessive oil?. For Tamiya paints and varnish im using X-20A thinner, i know some people are prefering Leveling Thinner.

@ModellingWeekly

4 күн бұрын

For tamiya acrylics x-20a is perfectly fine if that's what you've got 👍 Mr levelling thinner is great, and so is tamiya retarder lacquer thinner, but it's not mandatory. In terms of satin varnishes, tamiya does do an acrylic one - X-35, but they call it semi gloss instead of satin :)

Leave to dry 24 Hrs. 4) Apply Decals. 5) 2nd Coat as "3" Leave to dry 24 Hrs. 6) Oils & White Spirit Wash applied. ----- This is where the Paint starts lifting? What am I doig wrong? Thanks in advance

@ModellingWeekly

2 ай бұрын

That's quite odd, as the tamiya and mr.hobby products are lacquer and alcohol based, so the white spirit really shouldn't be interacting with them. Are you brush painting? Sometimes this can leave areas of unevenness that allow the spirits to soak through and compromise the strength of the base layer, however this is still uncommon even so. Do you happen to have the links to all the products you're using? This may help in diagnosing the problem, however it's still very odd as your process is flawless. I'm very sorry for your troubles!
