18:21 DON'T use enamels on push fit models without gluing them. Its a well documented problem that the paint can flow into the gaps between the parts and then have nowhere to evaporate. The solvent eventually eats through the plastic making it very brittle. I think a lot of enamel washes like this even say "not suitable for push fit models" on the bottle

@ArtisOpus 2 жыл бұрын

This is a thing?! If so, amazing feedback

@YoutubeAccountMan 7 ай бұрын

You could just pull off the pieces that aren't glued and do them separately. After it's evaporated, just push them back on. Seems pretty self explanatory.

Just one thing to bear in mind with all enamel products (appart from the little tins of humbrol enamel paint, those are indestructible) they have a shelf life, if not used up then after a while they will start to settle quite quickly, meaning you're going to have to keep going back and stirring them up, I find that mixing with a length of sprue or something is quicker and easier than taking the cap on and off to keep shaking the bottle. Also, Ammo by Mig make something called streaming grime too, in case of questions, yes, it is the same as the ak stuff, those two ranges are pretty much identical for enamel washes

Great vid, great info as always! And, further/deeper info would be great, and into other fun products. There's a bunch of great enamel products/producers out there after all. What would be nice, is if you'd put some side by side comparison in the end. Before applying streaking grime on one side and after on the other. To really show off how big the difference is. The side by side shots is something that's missed in the YT videos from 99.9% of all content creators. :( And ye, ofc one can scroll back and forth, but side-by-side makes it so much easier to spot the changes. And ofc it doesn't have to be limited to SG videos (-: And a big GZ to the winners!

@nopeacejustwar1664 2 жыл бұрын

The absolute best way ive found to remove streaking grime is tp buy those “egg” shaped makeup sponges, cut off a section of the sponge, use that section to ‘wipe’ the model with mineral spirits absorbed into the sponge. It is sooooo easy and you have so much control and leaves no mess behind. You can also use the sponge and its malleability to get into the nooks and crannies of models. Its a really neat technique and im glad I discovered it on a whim!

Would you recommend using streaking grime only as a final touch on otherwise finished models like you did here, or would it work right after basecoating (as a sort of a wash/shade) and then highlighting with acrylics after that? Or does streaking grime mess with acrylic paints that are applied after it?

@ArtisOpus 2 жыл бұрын

Either is fine mate, if you've got time you can kind of do both! Just remember to seal with a varnish, and you'll have no negatives to the 'during' version... It absolutely does infect paint after if unsealed, especially on day of application

I'll stick to latter though since I'm one of those nutjobs who basically can't use a paint without mixing it with something else first so might as well mix oil washes specifically for whatever I'm working on while at it. I've also got couple premixed ones in a dropper bottle such as burnt sienna/black mix that I use when I'm working with "generic steel" and funnily enough that one basically creates an effect that's very similar to streaking grime so I could have just saved some time there.

Great vid my man! I'm assembling a load of Stormcast as a new army project to do over Christmas and I'm thinking I will use some kind of enamel to give some contrast against a super bright armour. Do you have experience of how streaking grime compares to other enamel washes? I was thinking of using a black Mig Productions enamel wash for the silver plate. I imagine these washes are maybe weaker than streaking grime but an evening of Internet searching isn't turning up any answers! I'm going to build and paint a bunch of Azyr terrain clean and crisp, and then use grime, the green slime washes and so on to make it dingy as if it was abandoned in Ghur.

@negotiableaffections 2 жыл бұрын

Those pieces are breathtaking, Byron. Now, a question, that leads me onto a suggestion; I was wondering if a thick oil wash could deliver up similar results and it started me thinking. As there are often many ways to achieve a given effect, comparison videos that cover all the ways to do an effect [from simplest to expert, highlighting time and cost : effectiveness] would make a fascinating series. I know comparison vids have been done on your channel - but a comprehensive, 'many ways to skin-a-cat' series would be instructional for newbies, especially, as to building techniques and collecting materials to shape their hobby experience. I have a bias toward 'budget' in this and I think that could be the hook to hang the vids on. [I struggle to achieve consistent dry brush effects, though i work from small figures up to large artworks and can't afford expensive brushes across the whole range of my projects but I wonder how much a good brush could help]

@fundip533 2 жыл бұрын

Oil wash will give you basically the same effect, it just takes longer to dry. I use oils myself. They're a lot more versatile since you can use them for actual painting as well, and you can thin them to your desired thickness. Enamels often come pre-thinned and they dry quicker though.

Thanks dude, it depends how much you remove (if it's only in the recesses). A light airbrush spray would be ideal, as it will *slightly* alter the shade of the grime/finish, and I would go for a matte. If it's only in the recesses you could maybe get away without one, especially as you'll have varnishes pre-grime.

Great video! May I ask what gloss varnish you recommend if you’re not using an airbrush? Is there a good rattle version you suggest?

@ArtisOpus 2 жыл бұрын

To be fair, GW's is meant to be satin, but it's close enough to gloss to be fine, it's also not volatile, and works fairly well in different conditions, which is always my main concern with out of the can spray-varnishes.

Great video. Quick question: Can you apply a coat of matt varnish to protect your the mini after, or will it change the effect achieved by the Streaking Grime?

@ArtisOpus 2 жыл бұрын

Absolutely, if applying by brush go carefully (especially in recesses)

At the end of the process would the model be left to completely dry and then a standard varnish applied as the final step? If I understand it correctly the product will still remain with no extra loss when being handled?

I wonder if the streaking grime issue has been resolved, apparently people were getting different coloured streaking grime with the same SKU number! AK didn't really seem to want to comment on the situation.

@richardelsdon2027 2 жыл бұрын

Don’t know if I missed it but do you need revarnish again after it’s was finished to fix the effect and prevent more being rubbed off by handling? And if not does it matte any previous gloss varnish enough to not need a matte coat after?

@ArtisOpus 2 жыл бұрын

It depends if it's getting handled, and how much you remove (is it all in the recesses?). It does knock the gloss out from the under-layer significantly, but you could still matte it out if that's your preferred look (ultra-matte from AK, for example, if you like it *really* matte)

@Floodric1991 2 жыл бұрын

One plus for AKs ultra Matt its incredible stuff. I’m mainly a scale modeller but I have used it on my small warhammer army. I would always varnish after using any enamels and oils though. It does eventually get pretty tough but it can take days to weeks to fully cure.

@bevanwilson8820 2 жыл бұрын

definitely gonna try streaking grime for my slaves to darkness army (when I get there lol). How would you go about OSL with the streaking grime? would it change how you'd tackle it?

@Maxmillion77 2 жыл бұрын

From my experience using enamel washes like streaking grime I would say if possible leave any osl or anything you want to be brighter until after you've done your enamel wash. As you can see from the video it gives everything a bit of a dark filter so it'll just kill any brightness you've painted in. With enamel I would leave it longer to dry than you would normal acrylics but after that you can paint over it just fine.

What do you clean the airbrush with after using Streaking Grime in it ?

@ArtisOpus 2 жыл бұрын

The same stuff I always use :). Middle/deep clean would be: Run through thinner Soak a little while and run through foaming cleaner/cleaner mix Flush cleaner Lube (necessary because the foaming cleaner is *strong* and strips the lubricant properties from most liquid cleaners)

You can do either, if it's the latter you just have to allow/plan for it, I like both methods :)
