Great to see the Eagle Transporter in the shelf! 😄 I've got one by myself. Good childhood memories.

Thanks you!

I have used crushed up Black watercolor as well. Just something else to use.

@FineScaleModelermagazine 2 года назад

Thanks for the tip. We'll give that a try at the office.

The effect of using a wash on flat surfaces (as opposed to glossy surface) is desirable in some cases.

@Brian-WolfmanJack99 4 месяца назад

no acrylic washes?

@michaeltruhett4170 2 года назад

Great tutorial. When I was still building models I found what worked best for me were artist chalks. I never built any dioramas and my stuff wasn’t weathered very much. Exhaust stains, gunpowder stains and that’s about it. However, I can see why most modelers use washes on their models.

@FineScaleModelermagazine 2 года назад

Pastels work wonderfully for certain effects, much the same way pigments can. We'll show how to use those in a future video. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!

@travisehlers2884 2 года назад

Great tip, thanks. I like to use a wash on a matte or flat paint around filler caps or drain plugs to create stains as it would naturally, letting gravity and flow in the flat paint work for me.

@FineScaleModelermagazine 2 года назад

Yes, when using washes to create stains or when applying a filter, those are best done over flat. Beyond the scope of this particular video, but a technique we'll cover in another installment. Thanks for watching and sharing your tips!

So enamel thinner over acrylic paint jobs and acrylic thinner over enamel paint jobs that have been gloss varnished? Then I’m assuming you can Matt varnish over the top when done?

@patrickcamp8076 2 года назад

That was really helpful - many thanks. Have you a view on what colour wash to apply on really dark surfaces, such navy blue or black? Thanks.

@FineScaleModelermagazine 2 года назад

Thank you!

@kenepee2153 2 года назад

I've read once that the colour black makes the best standard washing colour, while grey/dark grey does a better job with lighter colours typically found on military aircrafts such as light blue & white, while dark brown or burnt umber best works on base colours such as green, red, gold. Is that👆🏼 true? Could you please elaborate more on that? Thank you very much sensei🙏🏻

@kcaudle52 2 года назад

Where did you get the P51 modeling pad??? That is awesome! Great video on washes also.

@FineScaleModelermagazine 2 года назад

Thanks! You can buy the cutting matt here: kalmbachhobbystore.com/product/modeling-tool/85159

@stoned3225 2 года назад

Can you use enamel wash on lacquer base ? And oil on lacquer ? Great vid as usual !

@FineScaleModelermagazine 2 года назад

Yes, you can put an enamel or oil wash over lacquer. However, do not put a lacquer over an enamel--it will eat through it.

@jogonyachickennugget4911 2 месяца назад

Does the remover not remover the pain underneath too?

@Swellington_ 11 дней назад

No because he sprayed a gloss coat over the paint,you normally apply a wash on top of a gloss coat and after weathering spray a flat coat or whatever you prefer to seal everything in

LOL It's a Whippet.

@rszanger 2 года назад

Can I use something other than terpenoid ?

@FineScaleModelermagazine 2 года назад

You could use mineral spirits if you're working with artist oil paints. If you're working with enamels, use enamel thinner.

@rszanger 2 года назад

@@FineScaleModelermagazine what about acrylic paints?

@FineScaleModelermagazine 2 года назад

It depends upon the paint. The best bet is to use the recommended thinner for the intended acrylic paint. Some acrylic paints you can thin with water, but you'll want to mix in a tiny amount of liquid hand or dish soap to break the water's surface tension so the wash flows more easily. And remember, before applying any new technique to your model, if you can, try it on a test model first.
