To paint with oils on plastic one should first apply an acrylic grounding. On this model, I think the paint layer will start to flake, sooner or later. Also, to apply acrylic varnish on top of linseed oil is controversial. Instead of acrylic varnish, use oil paint varnish. After all, since oil is fat, a plastic layer on top of an oil layer doesn't sound right. Artists never do this. However, experience shows that oil over acrylic is fine, because it is fat over lean.

[@idaemonplasmo]

Thank you for your knowledge and ideas.

[@alexx86hater]

@@idaemonplasmo It's been 2 years since this video, do you still have that piece somewhere? How does it look?

[@CoreReaper1]

alexx86hater I second this comment.

[@isodoublet]

What does "doesn't sound right" mean?

[@matswinther8991]

The oil paint layer never becomes stable, unlike the acrylic layer. Changes in the underneath oil paint layer could cause the acrylic layer to delaminate. However, artists worry about how their works will fare in the future, a hundred years from now. Modelers don't worry so much about that, so they needn't follow the recommended oil painting techniques. It is not necessary to follow my recommendations.

2 weeks ago I called you a true artist in one of your other videos, you gracefully denied that were. Now I there no way you can deny it. You my friend are a true artist. lol fantastic video. thanks for sharing.

[@idaemonplasmo]

Well thanks :-D

[@robotgav4532]

Dan's Scale Model Creations an Artist would not of used fully saturated colour and a modeller would of fully built the aircraft kit/model, then painted the damn thing lol.

[@Calatriste54]

Agreed! My modeling began in 1959. I've been inspired by you and learned more from your work than any other modeling source in my time! Bravo! Your Bf-109 F4 Eduard 1:48 is my favorite. This video is right up there.

[@dallindunn1186]

@@robotgav4532 you don't paint it after it's completely assembled, otherwise you can't get everywhere.

[@5265markw]

Have to totally agree... inspirational video as usual...

[@DannyStuart]

Tamiya large flat brush is the real unsung hero of the story here.

[@razif6916]

So true

[@migol_net]

I did have a flashback of Bob Ross watching that big brush in action

[@CaptainFutureman]

Yes, the result was superb!

[@jonwills9160]

OMG. Just when you thought you knew what you were doing, David shows you some more magic. Fantastic!

[@richelias2973]

Just want to say I love your videos. Thank you for all the tips and ideas you provide.

[@user-zn1sp4ug5g]

Thank you David! And I never expected such a professional be as young as you. Take my admiration, and good luck to you.

[@Hutt1010]

That was some amazing work. Thank you so much for the tips and showing off your inspirational paint skills!

[@geraldimhof2875]

Do more of these David please! I'm trying to launch myself again into model building after 4 years and I have limited resources. I love what you make and this video will surely be my reference for brush painting

[@leth9320]

Everything you do mate is an absolute work of art. I am always blown away by the work you put in to making a piece of plastic come alive and look real!

[@marcoandrelopezpinatelli6099]

Hi David, I always watch your videos. You are amazing at this, keep doing it!

[@guerrillaradio9953]

Thanks for the idea! I have many artist's oils. I love the look on the model; very realistic! I'm going to try it tonight!

[@angusmackay7281]

Amazing results David. Your techniques are brilliant.

[@magazineman3910]

Really nice job David the oils have a classic look. I use oils for detailing my models and they look great. Keep up the great work. Dan

[@axtmann]

It is hard to find good tutorials for hand brush painting models with large flat surfaces. Your results speak for themselves. Beautiful.

[@bluzzjazz]

Extremely nice result for brush painting! I will be thrilled to have mine turn out this good.

[@michaellewis1211]

Great research. For years I limited myself to kits that I could paint with a spray can, before I owned an airbrush. Nice results. Keep up the great work!

[@thewaynesiewatsg]

This has got to be one of the most innovative videos on modeling. Excellent work in making the observation at how the masters mastered oil paints. You are one of Ng favorite channels!

[@thomasshema4972]

I am blown away! I watch this video often, just for it's beauty alone and for inspiration. Plasmo, you are an master artist.

[@andydavies3949]

Beautiful colour work David and great soundtrack too, well done all.

[@mccarthywatch]

Fantastic! Wonderful results! Thank you for taking the time to create this video. You have taught me many new techniques to try on my vintage 1/24 Stuka. I have purchased several oil paints today in hopes they will increase the detail and appeal of my model. Cheers from Leeds Alabama USA!

[@Z1PP00]

You are showing real talent in modelmaking. And I think you are also making interesting videos. Keep up the good work.

[@robertgarelli4386]

I have always used oil paints to add details to the final finish but never thought of trying to paint the entire model with them. The idea is interesting and will have to try it. Thanks for taking the time to bring us a fresh and original idea to our hobby.

[@martinfinster9899]

Brilliant tutorial on something I wondered about decades ago but never tried. This made me hit the subscribe button. And it's good to see the face behind the PLASMO voice.

[@SueBobChicVid]

That's some amazing work. Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@Steve-bo6ht]

This has just blown me away David I really need to try this

[@davidmerritt2469]

Thank you for this video. I recently pained a figure with oil paint and did not know I could be varnished. Very informative

[@randypurtteman1183]

Astounding! A true "why didn't I think of that" procedure.

[@Johanfho]

Thank you a really inspiring video! I will most certainly try this out, as I look to improve my brushpainting and I don't have an airbrush.

[@nmmlo]

Simply awesome! very useful when cannot paint with spray can during the winter. I will try this technique. Thanks for sharing David.

[@petermathieson5692]

Came here to learn about panel washing. Was very pleasantly surprised to learn something I really had never expected. Thank you. Very informative.

[@paulysleight]

Mesmerising! Wonderful results - thank you for sharing this

[@shawnmccrary5526]

I’m not sure you’re not doing a better job with your style. Awesome job !

[@m6087]

Hello, Really superb, you have an absolutely remarkable mastery of techniques. A big thank you for your pedagogy. Mark

[@avion195]

Wow. What a great option to the airbrush. I had no idea conventional oils could achieve such a finish!

[@mortenalbertsen7443]

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing this test!

[@CMBDIA]

this is a great guide. paint brushes are my only option right now. i've been looking for a video like this for a few days now. thanks!

[@CaptainFutureman]

The result is stunning for how simple the materials and techniques are. I wish I had known about KZbin and your channel 30 years ago... Thanks for sharing these tips!

[@tonycharlesworth2952]

Wow, David you are a great ARTIST. Please do not stop you are getting better and better. 1 of your many fans. Tony, Thanks.

[@s_wnea8u]

Absolutely fantastic, David!

[@kamilelfray5580]

The whole beauty was in background. Plastic board with few colors and blending them like an artist to achieve perfect shade. You dont need to worried about right RLM or name of colour... buying sets for germans or allies. After your video I really need to try with oils. Thanks man!

[@steviegibson5847]

I love your videos, David. Very professional. Also, the choice of music is inspiring.

[@lion8lamb]

WOW !!! You'd never know it wasn't airbrushed - what a fabulous result ! You are truly gifted bro...

Beautiful Job. I don't make models but I watch your videos in awe.

You are no doubt the very best modeller in the world honestly Thank you so much for all your time and effort in showing people like me , I am disabled with illness and I have built motels for quite a time now and so much enjoy watching modelling videos , but you my friend produce the very best , you are number 1 Thank you for making so much difference in my life !!! I wish I could repay you in some way my friend , but all I can say is Thank you !!!💖

[@theRealBryan]

I recently learned similar techniques with acrylics. This oil technique is great! Airbrushes give good results, but there's so much rigmarole. I model to relax and the technique you show is relaxing and give great results. Thanks for sharing.

[@knoppenbrock7282]

Thank you, David for the great idea.

[@steveissexy]

i'm building for decades.some cool mods . but you do wicked jobs .best i've seen.

[@MrGrentch]

Very late to the party and you likely won't see this, but Leonardo would be nodding his head in approval at your sfumato. And he'd _love_ the aircraft. 🙂 A friend just gave me a "care package" for the virus lockdown. Three kits; a Spitfire VB trop, an ME109 and an I-16 24, all 1/48. And gave me lots of AK paints. I _know_ . a very good friend. He's very into modelling and thought it would be good for me to try it. After 30 years since the last time... 😮😄 He pointed me to your channel and just said "watch". I did. I thanked him for the kits and now I thank you for the inspiration. 🙂

[@BlueyWolf]

You are my kinda guy always open for new things , always improving and teaching others , thats why i like your channel so much , i learnt so much from you , thank you for all these awesome videos.

[@idaemonplasmo]

Thank you so much. That is why I am still making new videos. :-D

[@bantharadio8960]

this just saved my life, i dont have an airbrush and just got some bandai star wars kits but they dont have that star wars grey blueish tone to them, tie fighter if you are wondering which model I got and this has been a total life saver, will defo give it a go! Thanks!

Beautiful work. Way back when I was doing Historex figurines I always did the horses in oils. I wish I had had one tenth of your skill

[@countzero99uk]

Great work. Been watching a lot of your videos lately for inspiration to start modeling. All of your models look great :)

[@richardplug]

That looks like a lot of fun! The finish is very close to, if not as good as, airbrush painting. I will try this on an inexpensive kit sometime.

[@BennyCFD]

I love learning new techniques. Thanks for the great video.

[@VeteranofthePsychicWars]

You are insanely talented. Excellent work.

[@tcandle695]

Thanks David for your nice videos. Nice to know and learn that we can paint models with oil paints specially military models where the finish does not need to be perfect. I will try this technique with a 1/72 aircraft. thanks again.

It's almost magic to see such great results. 70 years old and I have never seen anything like this!

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Same here. Im staggered.

[@Scott-to8ri]

I know this is a few years old, but I found both pleasing and informative. The end result was quite good and a skill level I hope to achieve in time.

[@timwingham8952]

Whata fantastic post. And what a talented artist. Thank you.

[@TheAxelson]

Thank you so much for that. Simply amazing. I think now I will try also.

[@angusmackay7281]

I've started experimenting with this and I'm really pleased with the results. I find the feathering works best if you clean the soft brush often. The drying time is the only downside; the results are way better than anything I've managed with acrylics. Thanks again for a really helpful video, David.

[@davidemarzin9196]

wooooooow my friend... spectacural work, Amazing!

[@mattmakes2743]

This is great stuff. I was actual a fine art major in college and focused on oil painting. Not sure why I never got the connection, but I’m sure glad you did!

[@slikster86]

Nice video for alternative finishing. Great finish!.... keep on inspiring.

[@jamiesworkshop3198]

Wow! That is awesome! A model is just a blank canvas isn't it? I would have never considered painting a model in oil paints, but your results are very, very good! Thank you! I have often weathered my models with simple watercolors. Thank you for pushing new ideas and techniques!

[@trondatleolsen245]

Fantastic! Love your videos and keep up the good work! 👍👍

[@mp-modelplastic]

Great work and good tips. The result is very good . i´m a paint brush modeler along the years and i love this kind of videos with old school tecniques. Keep the good work. 😉👍Greetings from Portugal.

[@Bradzilla89]

Would love to see the finished model using this technique. Really surprised how well the paint flattened out. Usually when paint is applied with a brush it leaves that brush stroke texture. Really cool work!

You are very generous with your help - I can see a lot of guys who don't like using an airbrush going down this route

[@idaemonplasmo]

I know, and that's the reason why I work on it so long. I think it can help many people.

[@johncroucher6053]

David - you need to think about approaching a manufacturer who could help you launch oils suitable for plastic - good luck
