Blending Washes And Oil Dots - Type 5 Chi-Ri (Fine Molds 1/35)

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Did you notice something weird? I usually apply washes first, then add oil dots. OOPS! JK, it doesn't really matter.

[@83DRIFTKING]

good to know , i got myself a chi-nu and will use your tips and tricks!

[@FinestBritishTea]

cant be breaking the rules lol

[@eternalASV120]

Well, I personally prefer to apply washes after oil dots, because sometimes when you blend dots oil paint might cover washes. Quite difficult to clean it up from all gaps and etc. And the funny thing - despite of the lacquer (surface) type, I wait for about 10-15 minutes for thinner to evaporate, and then goes another layer of effects. What's the secret? Apply varnish :D Surprisingly, it doesn't affect previous layer of oil or enamel if the varnish is acrylic. Well at least it works for me))

new video from martin, best day of the week :D

[@teckweetan]

I recently discovered your channel and can't get enough of your videos! So many interesting techniques. Are you going to setup a Patreon account? I'd definitely support!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Thanks a lot! I'm thinking about it, but I don't yet have a clear idea about tiers and rewards :)

[@fzijlstra2906]

Again a very good video! Btw, i grabbed a beer instead of some thinner. Tastes better i think 😋.

[@x3tc1]

Help, I am trapped in a wash applying/removin loop for 3 months now! D:

[@jacobrichards8359]

You had me at "living bananas". Great tutorial as always.

[@andrewschanck3363]

Martin, my dude, every single technique you do is astounding! I also really appreciate that you explain every step. I now know why my dot fading has never worked well (I flood the surface with thinner) =P

[@timothybogans3905]

Andrew Schnack thank you for pointing that out, man i had the same problem but don't abandon the technique when you apply too much thinner with the oil dots it makes for great streaks and similar effects i love the filter washes but the dot filter technique is more direct

[@earltheartist3697]

Always nice to see another night shift video and that sexy Eastern European accent. Informative and fun/ny

[@bobwiber6125]

Well, that has to be the first time I have actually seen anyone do the dot technique that I could actually understand, and follow. So, I suppose I need to dig out the oils, and see if I can actually duplicate the results.... although I will be working on a hulk at first. This definitely is a great channel, and I am learning a lot.... definitely love the weld seams and texture. Thank you for sharing...

[@LEGOBubuS]

"So sit back, grab your bottle of enamel thinner.." 😮 (12 seconds later) Me: spit out enamel thinner 😝

[@halomov1]

Sir, how do you clean the brush after using the texture effect process, the putty and cement residues? What and how to clean?

[@krautreport202]

He told me in the comments that he uses cement so clean the brushes. Works surprisingly well.

[@ghostminipainting]

@@krautreport202 Yep, this. I've just finished some Shermans up and used the same cement for the technique to clean the brush. Works great 👍

[@010falcon]

Hello night shift I am quite new to this I am right now 3d printing a LT 35, i want to make it look nice It has to be sandet a lot, What is the most important thing you recommend me to buy. Greetings my friend Btw. Can you link everything you use in the vids, would be quite usefull Edit: Thanks a lot btw. (How rude of me)

[@eternalASV120]

Sounds like a cool project. What kind of printer are you using? Guess the most important thing will be tons of putty to get rid of printer lines))

[@010falcon]

eternalASV120 well then I am actually using sandpaper to get rid of the lines (the lines are almost not visible) Now i have the good ol ender 3 It is a FDM 3d printer If you want it for printing models buy a SLA or SLS (if you have enough money) I bought my printer in mind if printing for customers and for my electronics projects I loved these small things when i was young, so i thought why not get into this hobby

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

I don't have any experience with 3D printing, but from what I've seen on KZbin, using spray primer/filler can eliminate most of those printer lines

[@010falcon]

@@NightShiftScaleModels thats cool because the LT35 had bolts (these bolts are on the actuall model that i printed) If you see a nice modell on thingiverse and you want it printed you can ask me

[@Durbandanify]

Love your Channel man! Your voice and accent are perfekt and easy to the ear' you should dö podcasts 😁 Your toutorials are exelent and you tecniqes amacing. Thank you for a wonderfully proffesional channel.

[@taco6658]

Where do I buy wilder oils because I can’t seem to find the website.

[@martijnvanschie]

Great video as always. I just did a pin wash on a model that was coated in Vallejo satin varnish and I get tide marks... I don't see that happening in this video and you mention you used a semi gloss coat. What could be my problem? Thanx in advance.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

That's very interesting. I often had tide marks on matt surfaces, but never on a glossy or satin one. I honestly can't say what went wrong, but you can eliminate most of them by gently tapping the entire model with a large brush and small amount of thinner. Give the washes enough time to dry so you don't remove them. And also, there are many weathering techniques that can hide any remaining tide marks, like rust tones, dust, etc

[@martijnvanschie]

@@NightShiftScaleModelsThank for the advice... I also noticed that my base coat.... Done using Tamiya Olive Green... Was a bit rough and sandy... Something I have noticed before on my models. I'm now thinking that was the initial issue and that the varnish was not sufficient to form a nice coat and take away the rough edges... I'll try some different combinations on plastic spoons to test...you also use Tamiya with lacquer Thinner... I'm going to give that a try to. Thanx and ill be looking forward to you next video 😀

[@garymatthews3766]

Another great one Martin.....cant wait for your next one, you have committed now ;-)

[@CharlieO_]

Brother, this is exactly why I think your next project should be a fantasy model - a robot of some kind (I think W.H.40K or Robotech) - it's because people who build, compete and judge these things need to see YOUR take on interpreting things like maintenance and environmental effects, how and what to add to a model, not to mention WHEN to leave the instruction's script in favor of your own, and especially, how to get the most realistic effects by not limiting yourself to just acrylics and a sharpie. (Whenever I see a kid on KZbin color something in with a red sharpie, one of my sea monkies climbs out of his included underwater environment and throws itself into the 'money' candle I vigilantly keep burning next to the roller coaster section of the 9 piece ocean zoo. We have to stop the madness!) So you see, it's not just for me, it's for the monkies.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Oh, well I guess I’ll have to do it then. For the monkies of course 🙉

[@junglelands9119]

And to think I used to hate night shift, not anymore lol.....Great video.

[@janisberger2364]

I love it, helps a lot like allways

[@HobbyLinkInternational]

Awesome video as always. Learned a lot!

[@Dreg0]

From your point of view, is there any difference between Wilder or Abteilung brands in comparison with ordinary decent oil paints?

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Well, they make specific tones we, armor modellers use, i.e. rust, mud, dust etc. When I was using regular oils I always had to mix them to get those tones and it was often tricky. These modelling oils also contain less linseed oil so they're not as messy and are easier to work with.

[@reconmodelsvaughn469]

I can't wait to see the wheels video

[@FFFgoh]

Absolutely fantastic! simply the best channel from youtube!

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Excellent tutorial! Always make me laugh 🤣

[@Ablefaria]

I have to say, as a long, long time miniature-wargamer/painter who's recently started applying modelling techniques to my painting (oils, enamels, filters etc.) your channel is fast becoming my favourote source for inspiration and tips! Keep up the good work and can't wait for the next video!

[@silvestersze4411]

Lovely 😊 videos! For German ‘Dark Yellow’ distressing technique, which Tamiya paints would you recommend?

[@lechar92]

Hello! Happy New Year to you!!! Thank you for all this amazing content 🙂 Please, as we are using enamel thinner, is it possible to use enamel paints (e.g. Humbrol) instead of oil paints? Thank you very much

[@exyoff]

[@Cake_Doge]

Bro you read my mind? I had some questions about blending oils. I was just about to do random stuff with them

[@generic_asian_]

I've just bought some Mig wash and tried to use it but when I removed the wash with enamel thinner the paint also came off. Do you know what I'm doing wrong? I'm using Tamiya Acrylic paints with no varnishes and Revell Colour Mix.

[@Marauder623]

Hey, night. What oil colours would you generally use for olive drab base colours? I plan to do a Pershing (m26 by Tamiya). I avoided doing the filters on my Sherman as i didn't want to mess it up because i did a good preshading with it (i was experimenting)

[@disceva6443]

You, good sir are in need of some of the fabled (liquid) green stuff. That stuff is fabulous to use.

[@kinolios]

Man everytime I see one of your videos it makes me want to get back to modelling! I really want to try those techniques on miniatures, especially the oil blending, the textures are really awesome! But something's always bothering me, they say to never put acrylic over oils, but I saw in some of your videos that you go back to acrylics for details after using oil washes and blending, without a varnish. Is it because the amount of oil paint you use is so low that it doesn't create problems? Or is it an overblown problem? Anyways, thanks for the videos, really enjoying them!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

I guess it's like you said, their amount is very small. Might be also a bit overblown issue. Modellers have been doing it like this since I can remember (aka roughly since 2005) and there were never any issues reported in the modelling community. And hey, thanks a lot! I hope you'll give it a try and return to this hobby!

[@polishmafia1573]

Hi, I painted a model with Vallejo spray paint. I’m using oil paint and mineral spirits for this and realized the spirits is also stripping the base coat. Haha... is this the reason for a clear coat??!! I thought Vallejo spray paint was an acrylic?

[@baroo89]

hey Night Shift! Really cool material as always! But I do have a question. Could you please tell me if is it possible that after base colour, when I protected it by leyer of Vallejo gloss varnish and painted it enamel washes tneh they did not dry in 24 hours?

[@MrPapamaci88]

"Just sit back, grab your bottle of enamel thinner and enjoy!" That came out waaaaay too wrong! XD

[@hex1c]

Love your videos Night Shift! I learn more from your videos than any other or magazines for that matter.

[@CEGCsmite]

thanks for this tutorial. id like to know if there is a rule of thumb of what colors of oil paint you need for a specific color or tone. thanks !

[@mosttriumphantco]

I'd love to try this technique but the Wilder weathering oils seem pretty hard to get a hold of- is there an easier to find alternative?

[@scottroby9444]

In the past, I've had issues with tide marks left over from the washes. What can I do to help prevent those tide marks?

[@chrismontgomery1386]

Wow this was nearly a year ago, Do you Thin the oils down at all? They look quite thin when you apply the dots to the model, do you allow them to dry on the model before you start to blend them?

[@mattsullivan226]

Martin, as many others have said, I think your videos are excellent and so helpful. I have a question for you. It looks like you sometimes apply acrylic paint techniques over oil washes and filters. Have you ever found this to be a problem? Do you use clear coats between the layers? I feel like I remember way back hearing that you can't put acrylics over oils. Thanks again for your wonderful videos

[@lemonmelon8095]

This vid gave me instanut

[@jancelabobo8238]

sir, a question on oil dots... what if I have a white painted part? what combination of oil colors should be used? thanks in advance

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

It depends a lot on your desired result. If you want it to be more off-white, then a combination of light grey and some tan/dust or very small amount of yellow. If you want a more clean look, light greys and small amount of light blue. Also, using pure white is problematic. I'd always recommend using very light grey, so you can always use pure white later.

[@lucasisselin5345]

First of all thank you for your wonderful video! I m a beginner and your videos are very helpful However i still do not enderstand why my enamel black wash is absorb and diffused when I apply it on a mat green color with a layer of semi gloss varnish. ( I use tamiya colors and varnish) If any one coult help me it will be nice :) Merci

Are the oil paints for modeling specifically or just generic artist oil paints?

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

These are scale modeling specific oils, but generic oils can work too. They just contain a lot more linseed oil which has to be drained first, and of course, usually don't come in colors that we, modelers, use.
