Weathering Scale Models with Oils, Part 2, Panel Line Washes

[@vasili1207]

Here's a quick tip use thinners first in your Panel lines. damp brush with thinners in there not wet, then hit it with the oil wash, should do a whole panel instantly as the oil will follow least resistance which is the thinners, it will even defy gravity and go up a vertical surface. Without the intial hit of thinners you have to dot it multiple times.

That was really great and helpful advice, thanks for taking the time, it was really appreciated!

Good video. Would have been better if you showed the whole process by cleaning up the oils like you talk about.

Very nice Stuka! Loving that camouflage scheme mate 👍😉 I always use clay based washes,stops the staining on the paint.

Very interesting. I am building a Vietnam Huey, which I want to look as if it has been through a lot. The scale is quite large (1:16) and most of the helicopter is green. At this size the model will not look so good, so I want to bleach out the green in some parts of the cabin roof, some engine exhaust on the tail and maybe some dirt on the belly side before doing the countless lines of rivets or the panel lines. I plan to use oil colors, but I have never done this before. Can thinned oil colors be used for all this or is there a better way? I want the effects to be subtle and not too heavy and am a little afraid that I might ruin everything. I already plan to prepare some pieces of plastic with panel lines and rivets, put on a coat of the green paint and then try it out. Any tips?

Isn't that Daler-Rowney Low odour thinner just simply low odour white spirit though? My simple understanding is they just refine it more to remove the stinky suflur.

Can you use enamel paint base with an acrylic clear then use an enamel wash?
