My friends, it's time for a small change. This time we're going to paint over the entire model with various oil paints in order to create numerous effects - pin washes to outline all the details, oil dot filters for that nice, faded surface, and ambient occlusion/fake highlights and shadows to compensate for that 3-tone German camouflage without any special effects such as color modulation, zenithal light or distressing. So how do oil paints stand up against pre-mixed enamel weathering products?

Another benefit to your dots after washes approach [at least to my lazy wargamer brain] is the filter adds subtle highlights to the washed areas, This is most noticeable on your tool clamp welds as you blend the sides, it transfers like a drybrush highlight.

@peterjackson5594 3 жыл бұрын

I used oil for washing. Then I started using AK washes. Now I think that oil is still more practical because using the same colors you can make one mixture for the filter, the second mixture for washing and another one for tinting. You just need to correctly select the oil paints according to the size of the piment grind.

@stephenbridges2791 3 жыл бұрын

That is going to be one very nice Jagdtiger. One thing I have found in my own use of oils, is; to get the best paint you can afford. The cheaper brands do not have a high pigment density. The upper ended ones do. Very nice job. See you guys next week.

This video got the point. I build both tracked and winged vehicles and what I can say is that oil is way finest, so I use it for panel lines and as filters diluted with turpentine and I also use it with no dilution to enhance tones on certain areas. I use enamel for sure but to ad something not belonging to the structure of the vehicle such as grease, oil, kerosen, dirt. I think the most important here is to make the difference between filters and washes.

Per Hillary Doyle, the red crosses are authentic for late war German tanks. There is even a Stug at the American Cavalry museum that is still in its original paint and it has a red cross on it. Not very well known, but the red crosses were a thing for a short time at the very end of the war.

In Soviet Russia we take oil paints by "Nevskaya Palitra" ($2 for 46ml tube) and thinned it by technical white spirit ($1,5 for 1000ml in glass boutle). It may stink the entire floor of an apartment building, but we are get used to. P.S. This is joke, ofcourse. Tikkurila 1050 makes great for this case. But oil pains like "Ladoga" and "Master-Class" is very good for people who can't buy even Wilder paints. From Russia with love!
