Finally could watch this. Great video, mate. So cool to see that you go a totally different way with the oils than me. You make nmm look so easy, too 😮

Scale 75 instant colors are my airbrush, glaze, filter, and wash paints. They do suck as a contrast/speed paints. Also they are super thin and it is easy to flood the model with an airbrush.

Awesome video. This was incredibly helpful as I'm starting to experiment with oil paints on my miniatures. What kind of finishes and varnishes do you use and how do you decided which one to apply? I'm making Black Death Guard space marines with my oils and I noticed oils leave a very nice shiny sheen to the metal armor. So, I'm trying to decide if I should go gloss, satin gloss, or just matt finished? I don't want to ruin the look of the work or oils.

@WitnessMyMinis 4 ай бұрын

Thanks Mate ! :D its really a matter of taste, if I where to use metallic + oils I would either not use a varnish at all or I would go a satin one, maybe even gloss on the metallic. when oils have dried its very resilient the same goes for metallics

@curtcleancut 4 ай бұрын

Awesome. That's great information. I might just leave them as is without the varnish. Keep up the great work and I'll be tuning in to your future videos!@@WitnessMyMinis

Hello there. Awesome video :) one question : do you varnish after doing the oils or do you go with acrylics directly on top of the oils? Thank you for the content and keep it coming

@WitnessMyMinis 7 ай бұрын

Thank you for the kind comment!! No varnish , just important that they dry then directly on top !

@vascooliveira4740 7 ай бұрын

@@WitnessMyMinis thank you so much for the reply. My greatest barrier into oils is the amount of time they take to dry and the extra varnish step. Do you notice differences between oil brands?

@WitnessMyMinis 7 ай бұрын

@@vascooliveira4740 yeah there can be big differences, depends on what you want to achieve! Washes artist grade is the best for sure . But like I say in the video for minis I quite like the sc75 flow, haven’t worked with it that much yet to know definitely, but the dry faster and are very mat ! So far they are great !

@hrr222 3 ай бұрын

You can use oils over acrylics, but NEVER acrylics over oils. It just technically wrong. Once you started to work with oils you should use them all over till the end.

@WitnessMyMinis 3 ай бұрын

Why? Rules are ment to be broken 😋

@hrr222 3 ай бұрын

@@WitnessMyMinis cos acrylic layer will not stick properly. Also oil layer will never fully dry, cos you prevent oxygen to come through acrylic layer.

@WitnessMyMinis 3 ай бұрын

@@hrr222 heard about it but and if we were talking about canvas you’d be right but not on minis, not that much paint . It’s been proven by some great masters to mention one; “not just mecha “has proven this time and time again, it works !

@hrr222 3 ай бұрын

@@WitnessMyMinis "the amount of paint" does not change fundamental paint properties. You cannot mix different kind of mediums just so freely. Again - oil layer requires up to one year to fully dry - and it will never do if you prevent the oxygen to come. And acrylic just do not stick to the oil surface, so the whole "construction" of layers will just break and fall off sooner or later in time.
