To paint with oils on plastic one should first apply an acrylic grounding. On this model, I think the paint layer will start to flake, sooner or later. Also, to apply acrylic varnish on top of linseed oil is controversial. Instead of acrylic varnish, use oil paint varnish. After all, since oil is fat, a plastic layer on top of an oil layer doesn't sound right. Artists never do this. However, experience shows that oil over acrylic is fine, because it is fat over lean.
Thank you for your knowledge and ideas.
@@idaemonplasmo It's been 2 years since this video, do you still have that piece somewhere? How does it look?
alexx86hater I second this comment.
What does "doesn't sound right" mean?
The oil paint layer never becomes stable, unlike the acrylic layer. Changes in the underneath oil paint layer could cause the acrylic layer to delaminate. However, artists worry about how their works will fare in the future, a hundred years from now. Modelers don't worry so much about that, so they needn't follow the recommended oil painting techniques. It is not necessary to follow my recommendations.
Tamiya large flat brush is the real unsung hero of the story here.
So true
I did have a flashback of Bob Ross watching that big brush in action
Yes, the result was superb!
2 weeks ago I called you a true artist in one of your other videos, you gracefully denied that were. Now I there no way you can deny it. You my friend are a true artist. lol fantastic video. thanks for sharing.
Well thanks :-D
Dan's Scale Model Creations an Artist would not of used fully saturated colour and a modeller would of fully built the aircraft kit/model, then painted the damn thing lol.
Agreed! My modeling began in 1959. I've been inspired by you and learned more from your work than any other modeling source in my time! Bravo! Your Bf-109 F4 Eduard 1:48 is my favorite. This video is right up there.
@@robotgav4532 you don't paint it after it's completely assembled, otherwise you can't get everywhere.
Have to totally agree... inspirational video as usual...
It is hard to find good tutorials for hand brush painting models with large flat surfaces. Your results speak for themselves. Beautiful.
OMG. Just when you thought you knew what you were doing, David shows you some more magic. Fantastic!
Everything you do mate is an absolute work of art. I am always blown away by the work you put in to making a piece of plastic come alive and look real!
Do more of these David please! I'm trying to launch myself again into model building after 4 years and I have limited resources. I love what you make and this video will surely be my reference for brush painting
This has got to be one of the most innovative videos on modeling. Excellent work in making the observation at how the masters mastered oil paints. You are one of Ng favorite channels!
I have always used oil paints to add details to the final finish but never thought of trying to paint the entire model with them. The idea is interesting and will have to try it. Thanks for taking the time to bring us a fresh and original idea to our hobby.
Great research. For years I limited myself to kits that I could paint with a spray can, before I owned an airbrush. Nice results. Keep up the great work!
I am blown away! I watch this video often, just for it's beauty alone and for inspiration. Plasmo, you are an master artist.
Thank you David! And I never expected such a professional be as young as you. Take my admiration, and good luck to you.
The whole beauty was in background. Plastic board with few colors and blending them like an artist to achieve perfect shade. You dont need to worried about right RLM or name of colour... buying sets for germans or allies. After your video I really need to try with oils. Thanks man!
Really nice job David the oils have a classic look.
I use oils for detailing my models and they look great.
Keep up the great work.
Dan
Just want to say I love your videos. Thank you for all the tips and ideas you provide.
You are showing real talent in modelmaking. And I think you are also making interesting videos. Keep up the good work.
Hi David, I always watch your videos. You are amazing at this, keep doing it!
Fantastic! Wonderful results! Thank you for taking the time to create this video. You have taught me many new techniques to try on my vintage 1/24 Stuka. I have purchased several oil paints today in hopes they will increase the detail and appeal of my model. Cheers from Leeds Alabama USA!
Thanks for the idea! I have many artist's oils. I love the look on the model; very realistic!
I'm going to try it tonight!
this just saved my life, i dont have an airbrush and just got some bandai star wars kits but they dont have that star wars grey blueish tone to them, tie fighter if you are wondering which model I got and this has been a total life saver, will defo give it a go!
Thanks!
Wow. What a great option to the airbrush. I had no idea conventional oils could achieve such a finish!
Thank you for this video. I recently pained a figure with oil paint and did not know I could be varnished. Very informative
I've started experimenting with this and I'm really pleased with the results. I find the feathering works best if you clean the soft brush often. The drying time is the only downside; the results are way better than anything I've managed with acrylics.
Thanks again for a really helpful video, David.
Hello,
Really superb, you have an absolutely remarkable mastery of techniques.
A big thank you for your pedagogy.
Mark
I recently learned similar techniques with acrylics. This oil technique is great! Airbrushes give good results, but there's so much rigmarole. I model to relax and the technique you show is relaxing and give great results. Thanks for sharing.
That was some amazing work. Thank you so much for the tips and showing off your inspirational paint skills!
Simply awesome! very useful when cannot paint with spray can during the winter. I will try this technique. Thanks for sharing David.
WOW !!! You'd never know it wasn't airbrushed - what a fabulous result ! You are truly gifted bro...
You are my kinda guy always open for new things , always improving and teaching others , thats why i like your channel so much , i learnt so much from you , thank you for all these awesome videos.
Thank you so much. That is why I am still making new videos. :-D
Thank you a really inspiring video! I will most certainly try this out, as I look to improve my brushpainting and I don't have an airbrush.
You are no doubt the very best modeller in the world honestly Thank you so much for all your time and effort in showing people like me , I am disabled with illness and I have built motels for quite a time now and so much enjoy watching modelling videos , but you my friend produce the very best , you are number 1 Thank you for making so much difference in my life !!! I wish I could repay you in some way my friend , but all I can say is Thank you !!!💖
Astounding! A true "why didn't I think of that" procedure.
this is a great guide. paint brushes are my only option right now. i've been looking for a video like this for a few days now. thanks!
* goes online, buys the oil paints you used in this video * If I use this technique I'll be sure to link people to this. Excellent guide :D
Quick Kits aaaayyyyy I was about to comment your channel to say you can make amazing scale model by brush paint
I'll be looking forward to seeing how you go with your oil paint experiments qk.
Quick Kits. Should imagine Owens oil painting will be comparable to a Constable
Still waiting...
IM STILL WAITING GRRRRRRRRR
The result is stunning for how simple the materials and techniques are. I wish I had known about UA-cam and your channel 30 years ago...
Thanks for sharing these tips!
Brilliant tutorial on something I wondered about decades ago but never tried. This made me hit the subscribe button. And it's good to see the face behind the PLASMO voice.
Amazing results David. Your techniques are brilliant.
Would love to see the finished model using this technique. Really surprised how well the paint flattened out. Usually when paint is applied with a brush it leaves that brush stroke texture. Really cool work!
It's almost magic to see such great results. 70 years old and I have never seen anything like this!
Same here. Im staggered.
Beautiful work. Way back when I was doing Historex figurines I always did the horses in oils. I wish I had had one tenth of your skill
this guy is simply unbelieveable. and also fantastic backround music. he is a real profi-top. and this video helped me a lot.
and i have now a question: so... will you ever use your airbrush again? :))
Wow! Who would have thought that such great results could be achieved with brush painting, well done my friend.
Joe
This has just blown me away David I really need to try this
This is awesome! Thank you for sharing this test!
Came here to learn about panel washing. Was very pleasantly surprised to learn something I really had never expected. Thank you. Very informative.
Wow, David you are a great ARTIST. Please do not stop you are getting better and better. 1 of your many fans. Tony, Thanks.
i'm building for decades.some cool mods . but you do wicked jobs .best i've seen.
Hi from Italy! Very interesting experiment and great results. I will try this :)
Wow! That is awesome! A model is just a blank canvas isn't it? I would have never considered painting a model in oil paints, but your results are very, very good! Thank you! I have often weathered my models with simple watercolors. Thank you for pushing new ideas and techniques!
Thanks David for your nice videos. Nice to know and learn that we can paint models with oil paints specially military models where the finish does not need to be perfect. I will try this technique with a 1/72 aircraft. thanks again.
I’m not sure you’re not doing a better job with your style. Awesome job !
Extremely nice result for brush painting! I will be thrilled to have mine turn out this good.
I know this is a few years old, but I found both pleasing and informative. The end result was quite good and a skill level I hope to achieve in time.
Extremely good and interesting video !
Oil paint gives a totally different finish and "look"
THANKS !
You know I had my doubts about how this project was going to end up looking, even from your obviously skilled hands. Even almost to the very end I didn't think it looked quite right, for one I didn't initially see it was an RAF Wildcat instead of an American USAAF version and the olive drab didn't look quite right. But then you added the Varnish and especially the wash and BAM! It came together beautifully! And the OD fit the British scheme perfectly too, great job! It also gives me a bit of hope too. I have been wanting to get back into modeling but I can't afford to get a air brush rig. I was a bit bummed because I'm a perfectionist and I didn't want to do models that looked bad, not realistic. If I van get close like you got with this project then I can at least be satisfied until I can save enough to get a decent airbrush. Thank u.
This is great stuff. I was actual a fine art major in college and focused on oil painting. Not sure why I never got the connection, but I’m sure glad you did!
I have always enjoyed brush painting over airbrushing but have always tended to go for the airbrush/spray can to get better results. I have to try out this simple technique! Thank you for sharing this!
That is amazing , I have started using oils for weathering , but never thought of using them allover ! ( I am a brush painter and always use Humbrol, I am used to it after 56 years !) great job , love the way you can fade them ! ( In UK you can buy box of12 oils real cheap at THE WORKS art shop .) Wales UK.
It's been a while since someone complimented you and especially this technique, but wow, oil paints, impressive, I may just try this!! I've been looking for that alternative to buying and first adapting to airbrushing, too expensive and too much learning curve. I'd even prefer oils versus acrylics because they dry to rapidly. Awesome David!!
Wow! What a result. I think you could convince a lot people that model was airbrushed. I have some cheap kits in the stash, I think I will be giving this a go!
That's some amazing work. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Truly inspiring,keep up your outstanding job !!!
You have some fine art skills far superior to most modellers. Impressive work and a well shot video. I have subscribed!
Mesmerising! Wonderful results - thank you for sharing this
Beautiful colour work David and great soundtrack too, well done all.
Thank you for the tips and suggestions. Often you need the push to try something by having it recommended - well done and thank you again.
Awesome job, I think it looks even more realistic than airbrushed! I really got to try this myself. Thank you so much for sharing 👍🏻
That looks like a lot of fun! The finish is very close to, if not as good as, airbrush painting. I will try this on an inexpensive kit sometime.
You are very generous with your help - I can see a lot of guys who don't like using an airbrush going down this route
I know, and that's the reason why I work on it so long. I think it can help many people.
David - you need to think about approaching a manufacturer who could help you launch oils suitable for plastic - good luck
I've painted models with oils for years. I don't understand why other people don't. I get especially good results on figures. It boggles my mind that people haven't caught on yet. Good to see this video!
@R Morris
I think the reason that few use oil paints is due to scale model companies tend to market the liquid enamels, placing them next to their scale models. I got my first model with a Testors glass bottle enamel kit, I hated painting simply because the liquid was so runny. I got a 10 tube oil set now, results should be better.
I tried enamel as well. I suppose you can get good results with anything if you know what you're doing. As he points out, when using oils make sure you use paints that are opaque. If I use a transparent or semi-transparent paint I lay down a white or grey base first. Then glaze, wash or dry-brush the transparents over that white or grey-scale base-coat. Oils are very flexible and forgiving.
Are you from the USA? I've been looking for opaque "Olive Green" like in the video, but no dice.
I'm not familiar with the brand he uses. Every company that sells in the USA makes Olive Green paint but whether or not it's opaque, I don't know. I don't own any green paint. I always mix mine. In mixing a green unfortunately blues are transparent, which you don't want, unless you are going to glaze it over a white or light gray base. That's a different technique.
However Lamp Black is actually a blue and it is opaque. I start with mixing Lamp Black and Cadmium Yellow or some other opaque yellow and adjust the tones up or down. You'll have to experiment with what you like. For an olive drab color you just add a touch of red to that mix. Add white to black/yellow/red mixture and it makes Khaki. I use Winsor Newton. Either the Artist oils or their Winton brand will serve the purpose. But any decent oil paints will work just fine. But learn to mix.
probably because of the drying time needed and the effect of topcoating undried paint. Anyway, what is your suggestion for drying time for oil paint and is there any way to speed them up?
Thank you for showing also your first models! Just to remember us that you made lots of ugly models like us!
Because I was thinking your are an alien of something like that! Too talented to be human!
I love your videos, David. Very professional. Also, the choice of music is inspiring.
Fantastic! I guess it will be soooo much nicer to use this technique for complex 1/72 paint schemes instead of struggling with airbrushes... This video really breaks some paradigms!
I was doing this 30 years ago.
Nice job. First time I have heard and seen a technique with oil on a plastic model. Will have to try it!!
@@raulramirez7970 Yep. Do give it a try. If you put the decals in while the paint is still a little bit wet, you wont even need to apply anything else after the paint. Decals just stick if they are put in at that point.
David you are my hero!!!!! outstanding nice work. Please end up the whole model. Best regards!
At last someone showing how to use oil paints on models👍👏
Nothing beats oil paints especially to achieve perfect blending of colours as you see in nature.
When I started painting figurines I tried all typed of paint with horrible results BUT the moment I tried oils it was a revalation‼️
Blending highlights and shadows became a pleasure with the end result better than I see from so many so called experts.
Just a pity I cannot add photos to this post, so I think a video showing my miniatures is called for.
Let me know what you think.
All I can say is try oils, BUT not cheap ones.
I had that idea some time ago, but never had the opportunity to try it! Fortunately, you did it and with great success! Thank you very much for this video! I guess my acrylics will go to retirement!
David that is a very good option and it works very well! I have been doing a similar application for weathering the paint on some of my models and it is very easy to do and you can achieve good control over the surface that you are working I really like it and now with your video it has proven that I was right on this type of application, thanks for sharing!
I am doing only easy tutorials :-D I am glad that it works.
Beautiful Job. I don't make models but I watch your videos in awe.
Well done, David. I would love to see a complete build. This opens up a whole new method for me. Can you continue your trials to include a natural metal finish using oils?
I paint the bikers in 1/12 scale with oil. Start use the Tamiya primer and then directly the oils with very satisfying results, but I had never thought about blending the colors with such a large brush. thanks for the idea and for the beautiful video😁
Beautiful result. Wonderful technique. Thanks for sharing, very insightful.
WOW! Dude, you're amazing! there's an almost nondifference between your technique and an airbrush. Really.
I build models and I also practice oil painting... This is a good way for combining both hobbies... What he teach about shading is 100% true.
Great work. Been watching a lot of your videos lately for inspiration to start modeling. All of your models look great :)
This oil paint technique looks so nice! Tks for sharing.
Great work and good tips. The result is very good . i´m a paint brush modeler along the years and i love this kind of videos with old school tecniques. Keep the good work. 😉👍Greetings from Portugal.
You are my inspiration. I love your videos.
Skvělá práce Davide . Je vidět , že máš šikovné ruce .
i appreciate the nice background music. it's not annoying and makes it a pleasure to watch your videos. cheers!
looks great my friend ☺.
keep up the videos, I love them!!
Thank you so much for that. Simply amazing. I think now I will try also.
That is the goodz mister! The Old Masters using oils - Bazinga! It really has a rich tone to it. Depth. Good job!!
Ahoj Davide,
Skvělá prezentace! I tvoje angličtina a produkce i prezentace se hodně zlepšíla. Doufám že ti ten kanál hezky poroste, protože stojí za to. Já to rozhodně roztrubuju, kudy chodím.
Привет ! Всегда удивляет меня Ваша работа! Вы настоящий художник !!! Браво !👏👏👏
Thank you, David for the great idea.
Holy smoke... That's the best paintbrush i've seen for a while :O And you only practice for 3 months, damn... ^^ You sire are a great artist keep going, this is the best modelist channel in my opinion. I've improve my skills a lot thanks to your advises ! :D
Thanks. I practiced with different types colors for three months. This was my second attempt with oils, and I started last week. :-D
Absolutely fantastic, David!
You are a true artist, thank you for sharing.
That is a damn nice paint job! I have never tried oils before but I am certainly thinking about it now... Great job Sir!
Thanks for the video. Got to try this technique. Looks AMAZING! 👍
