Thanks, Bill. I’m glad you like the format. I figure it’s better to just share the approaches in a brief and straightforward way rather than dragging things out. Gives the modelers more time to use the techniques on their own builds 😁

@rogerairborne 3 года назад

On a military aircraft, hydraulic fluid seeps from the pumps, tubing and filters behind the wheel wells and forms a yellowish sticky film on the belly panels. This sticky residue picks up grime frrom the runway, resulting in the dark streaks behing the main landing gear. Fuel and oil also contribute to the mess but hydraulic fluid is the main culprit. Very good detail. Excellent work.

Looking forward to using this on my next model properly. I already had a gloss coat over the base coat on my current F-14A and getting the oil weathering to look right has been a bear; now I know to try adding a bit of flat to change the surface texture.

Yep, the flat texture will help. Hope you like the results when you try it. Takes a little practice to get the effect you like but it’s a pretty forgiving and flexible technique.

@@FlyingSModels was really surprised when I saw that you apply weathering to base color just with coat of white spirit over it. And it makes so much sense! I was kind of, following the "traditional" way of, having the model glossed first and then to the weathering and play with oils. Modelling for so long and never came across that technique. Also, loved when you've applied light color of base paint over weathered area and it still the weathered tone was showing. Will definitely adopt these techniques.

@fernandosanmiguel7416 3 года назад

Thank you very much for this tutorial. I always apply oils after a gloss varnish coat. I find that in places where the gloss has not gone down too well, the oils "spread" on the surface getting a stain or "over dirty" non desired effect so it surprises me how well you manage to remove it and blend it with the paint base coat, not having used a varnished surface. Thanks again!

That looks great! I use a similar method on the 700 scale rc AH-1 I'm building. I use a thinner that I make at home instead. Water, isopropyl, glycerin. I will also put mix into my airbrush since it'll cover nicely and I can go back over painted areas and use the 1st stage on the airbrush to move and smear as desired for the rusty dripping running look. Thank you for the video, I'll give it a try!

Awesome tip. Quick question. So you use oil paint weathering without the gloss coat? I've always been told that gloss is necessary to weather

@FlyingSModels 3 года назад

Thanks. I use both techniques, oil over flat paint with a coat of white spirits laid down first, as well as oil over a gloss coat later in the build. They just provide different finishes and effects. Oil over flat will give extra weathering that is hard to get when you put oil over gloss.

@lalajaan042 3 года назад

Hey mate, great work. Can i use this technique after using Tamiya spray cans (just before first gloss for decal) or you would recommend using it after gloss coat ? Cheers

@FlyingSModels 3 года назад

I'd recommend trying it out on a spare part first. While the Tamiya spray cans are synthetic lacquer and might not be effected by the white spirits. I haven't tested that yet. The other thing is you want to apply the oils and white spirits over flat paint so that it helps to change the tone of the paint itself. Putting it down over a gloss coat will be more like a panel line wash. Hope this helps. Let me know if you try it before I do :)

Hey mate outstanding weathering techniques. I have a question. In this video you are applying oil paints from a tube, have you used a clear coat prior to applying oils? Secondly do you use acrylic clear coat when applying oils,? And also with the final clear coat do you use acrylic or enamel clear coat... Thankyou for uploading this outstanding video and greetings from accross the pond Australia

@FlyingSModels 4 месяца назад

Appreciate the feedback. I'm not applying the oils over a clear coat as if I did, it would just be a wash that goes into recesses like panel lines and rivets. Putting it over white spirits applied to the base flat coat allows for the oils to be blended into the finish and create weathering effects in the paint itself. When I do apply a clear for the purpose of decals and such, I apply an acrylic clear coat, AK Real Gauzy, and then apply a flat coat after it's all said and done. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions. Thanks again!

It's actually pretty fast since most of the oil paint is actually removed and/or imbedded in the flat paint surface. Really just a matter of minutes but I usually wait several hours to a day before putting a flat or gloss coat over it.

Thanks. I may try a little raw umber but it probably won't show up too well. You may want to try a lighter shade of grey and then after it's lightened just a touch with that, come back in with a few areas of raw umber to add a little extra "grime". Look forward to seeing your results. Please feel free to post some pics over on facebook/flyingSmodels. Best wishes!

@TJRohyans 3 года назад

I've noticed in a couple of your videos now that you don't seem to mask/protect wheel wells/cockpits when spraying near them. Do you not worry about overspray of one color over another? Another benefit of the oil weathering versus pastel chalks, is that the clear coat won't make them disappear.

@FlyingSModels 3 года назад

Every so often I'll mask around things but most of the time, I just spray very fine lines around the openings. If I need to protect an open area, sometimes I'll used a piece of card stock as a "shield".

Thank you for this info and it looks great. Two questions. Is the white spirits the same as paint thinner or different? Will this work if your model is painted in oil paints not acrylics?

@FlyingSModels 3 года назад

Thanks for the feedback. I would stick with artist grade white spirits, not paint thinner. Paint thinner will likely strip your paint. And only use it over acrylics. The white spirits will dilute the oils in the oil based paint. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the video. One question: do we need an overcoat before applying the oil?

@FlyingSModels 2 года назад

Thanks for the feedback. No overcoat required. That's what helps the weathering process. The white spirit layer helps the oils blend into the flat acrylic paint layer.

When you do the second weathering stage over the decals do you do it over a varnish coat?

@FlyingSModels 2 года назад

Yes, at that point, I apply the washes (thinned) over a gloss clear coat.

I was looking for something like this for a while and love the way you achieve this effect. I'm definitely trying it on my current build. Two questions if I may, 1. Will this work on something that has raised rivets? And 2. Will this work with turpentine instead of white spirits?

@FlyingSModels 2 года назад

Excellent. I hope you have much success with the techniques. This will work with raised panels and rivets. I have another video up here that shows that too. Here's the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Tf6Q1Q2ipxk.html As far as turpentine, you can give it a try but I've always used artist grade white spirits. Let me know how it works if you do try it. Happy Modeling.

@@FlyingSModels thank you for your reply. I had a look at the second video also and found it very useful too. Appreciated. My question is how do you apply oil colour to raised rivets? I'm struggling to get a good dark outline on those rivets. And also, will you suggest using a white oil colour on a dearest camo to make the individual panels pop more?

@b.vhidalgo4817 2 года назад

I love this tutorial. I'm planning to do the same with a 1/144 F-117 nighthawk. What oil colors should I use to do a weathering effect?

@FlyingSModels 2 года назад

Thanks for the good words. For those black finishes, it can be easy to overdo it. I typically will mix up customs shades of dark grey/grey to get a little worn effect without it being too stark. I'd recommend trying out various colors on a test piece. Maybe even try some dark blues and browns. Hope it works well for you!

@MrBadger1978 2 года назад

Really fantastic! I'll be trying this on my Meng FA18. A couple of questions: 1. For how long do you need to let the oils dry before putting any other coats (varnish, clear coats etc) over top of them? 2. Which brand of clear coat do you use (Future is not available in my part of the world!)?

@FlyingSModels 2 года назад

Hope it helps and I look forward to maybe seeing some pics of your F/A-18 if you want to share them through Facebook. As far as drying time, I usually only wait a couple of hours or so before clear coating. It dries really fast since you are putting it more or less as a filter/wash over flat paint. And on the clear, I use AK Real Gauzy. Works a lot better than Future in my opinion. Let me know if you have an additional questions. Happy Modeling!

I have best results when blending with angular brush. It's probably just because I'm not experienced ( I've built around 10 models, mostly tanks, but my last two models actually look decent). Btw I have a question, which is best cheap airbrush for beginners ( if there is one)?

@FlyingSModels 3 года назад

I say use whatever works best for you. No "right" answer on most things like this. If it works and you are happy with the results, then that's what's right for you. Glad you are getting the results you are after. As far as airbrushes, I'm enjoying my Badger Velocity Renegade but I also really liked my Tamiya Super Fine HG. They are both around 100 bucks. Not sure if that's cheap from a budget perspective or not. Here's a link if you want to check out the specs on the Badger: amzn.to/36tu5zH

Nope, no clear required as long as you are using white spirits over acrylic flat paint. I've used this with both Tamiya and AK Real Colors acrylics with no issues. But to be sure, I'd run a test case with the paints you are using and spirits you have. Hope this helps.

It gave me the result but then it melted, the outcome is I need to use other turpentine. so, finallym, which one iss less corrosive?

@kafmmaclub 3 года назад

Great job. Looks amazing. Here’s what i don’t understand and still trying to learn. You weather the model first, then put the decals on top? So you have a wonderfully weather model with fresh decals?? Not criticizing, just trying to figure out how to weather the decals after weathering and blend them in? I normally add decals them weather. Most people do it your way and I’m trying to work on that technique. Again, great job. Cheers,

@FlyingSModels 3 года назад

Thanks, Chris. I actually weather in stages. This part is just the initial weathering that goes with the pre and post shading work. After all this is complete, I add the decals or airbrush the markings using masks and then seal everything with a gloss coat. After that, come more weathering that helps to weathering the markings. Then a flat coat to seal it all in. Great comment/question. Hope this helps.

@Botjer1 Год назад

Im looking for some inspiration, I'm going to be painting Eldar Falcon gravtanks. Now they are tanks that fly... Should i paint vertical AND horisontal weathering? One type of weathering for when they stand or move slowly and one when they move at speed? That would make a weird crosshatch pattern?

@FlyingSModels Год назад

That's an interesting thought. Not being familiar with the design or the operation, it would be hard to say. If they spend a lot of time on the ground and are prone to leaking, fading, rusting, etc., you would want to consider this in your weathering patterns. Certainly, their flight path and time of flight would also need to be considered for those areas where fluids were pushed along the flow streams. Not a perfect answer, I know, just some thoughts for consideration.

Why you don’t use the clear coat before the wathering?

@FlyingSModels 4 месяца назад

If you use a clear, it will just be a wash that goes into recesses like panel lines and rivets. Putting it over white spirits applied to the base flat coat allows for the oils to be blended into the finish and create weathering effects in the paint itself. Hope this helps.

@williamc2660 3 года назад

Do the white spirits not strip the Acrylic underneath? I tried this after the gloss coat and the base paint always gets removed when I try to remove the excess oil

@FlyingSModels 3 года назад

Hey William, I have never had any issues with stripping and I apply it directly to the acrylic flat coat. If you put a gloss coat down, you'll basically be adding a panel line wash as the oils will stay in the low spots and be removed from the higher spots that have been gloss coated when you wipe them. By applying right to the flat acrylic paints (with the white spirits laid down first) the oils are blended into the paint and change the overall tone/effect. Make sure to use white spirits. I use an artist grade white spirits (I think I put a link to amazon in the video description if you want to check it out). Let me know if you have any issues or other questions.
