- Had a lot of people ask for a tutorial video on how to weather/wash action figures. So figured I'd use the Legends Thing as an example since I was going to do it anyways.
Thanks For Watching!

Thanks brother. I was scared to to this. Now I feel confident
It's super simple. You'll do great!
I like how you keep things simple and straight to the point. It's very educational and an easy direct way to learn. I hope your channel grows very large.
Nice! Couple more tips:
1- clean and rinse the figure off with hot soapy water first. This removes oils from the manufacturing process, and allows the paint to adhere better.
2- after the black wash, add some details by dry brushing some lighter color highlights. 👍
How about a clear primer?
@@richardmardis2492 Good for certain applications. Like if you want a uniform finish where everything matches, like all gloss, or matte finish. And a good clear coat can offer added protection.
But what I was getting at, is that none of the paint will go on evenly, or adhere property if you don't prep a little first. 👍

Thanks for the info 👍
Great job!!🤩 A tip would be to put some poster putty over the eyes like blu tac or play doh!👍
Thanks. That's not a bad idea, I'll keep that in mind for next time.
Thanks...seen other videos and they get all technical and basically useless to the everyday dude who just wants their figure to pop. I'm not entering my "creation" into a big dollar contest...I just want an extra something. This was very informative and I will try it tomorrow. Liked and subscibed.
Thank you so much for your video, I tried this with my Thing figure and I am loving it!!! Bless you my friend!!
Thank you for this video! I actually bought a Thing for this exact purpose!!!
Happy to help
Just discovered this channel and love it subscribed cant wait for more content 😎
Appreciate it! 💖
Cool techniques.
Thanks for sharing this.
Awesome figure
Now you got a new companion here.
Great job.
Thanks!
I hope this doesn't sound negative in bringing this up because I'm really looking for a positive/helpful outlook from this community. So I just got into collecting action figures and am way more into it than I expected I'd be. I love being crafty and I like cool-looking characters that I can pose and use for drawing comics. My question is, does anyone else ever feel the stigma that you "shouldn't be collecting toys" if you are no longer a kid and if so, how do you overcome that? I'm not typically one to care much of what others think of me, but I have felt a bit like this lately so it might just have to do with surfacing insecurities in other parts of my life at this time. (I suspect collectors of many different types of things feel similarly from time to time, but do toys have an extra stigma added to them?) Thank you anyone who can give some constructive advice and share wisdom.
I feel like what you're describing some times. I'm old and have been collecting for quite a few years now. My basement is full of collectables. I kind of got out of control. I'd share a pic but it is a bit embarassing.
First it started with just movie related stuff since I have a movie room with a projector and am big into movies. Then I added tv figures. Then comic book figures. Then video games. Then I said screw it and now collect anything that looks cool.
Almost everything I have I got on sale though. Usually half off the regular retail price or more. That way I figure I can enjoy them for awhile and maybe make a profit some day if I want to sell anything. I guess I try to justify the hobby by calling it somewhat of an investment. The best deal I got lately for example was the entire Marvel Legends Dr. Strange Multiverse of Madness wave for $1 each. Deep clearance at Walmart. That was a smokin' deal.
A lot of the figures are aimed at adult collectables. So there's that. You're definitely not alone. My wife thinks they are cool most of the time. But would like to kill me sometimes since I've got way too much. Lots of people collect different things. If someone doesn't like it that's their problem. If it's not hurting anyone, do what makes you happy.
@@ezuzek Thanks, man. I suppose it helps just to hear another person's perspective on it and I thank you for taking the time to share.
I don't think it's wrong collecting figures - but it depends on what you're going to collect and how it is displayed. Figures behind a glass vitrine look very professional compared if you just let them stand somehow without any intentions or purpose. And then it comes also down to the action figures. Smaller ones (5-7") are better for the eyes and can be posed with stands to a greater effect. And don't fall into the trap in collecting everything from every line. If you have the space for it, go for smaller dioramas to reflect one scene or a pose.
@philip nunes life is short and so it’s definitely worth loving what you enjoy and not focusing on what others think. I love action figures and honestly I’ve reached the point where I’m indifferent to others opinions on it, surround yourself with others whom can support or appreciate your hobby or even better are into it, and pay no mind to anyone whom Is critical
Figures aren’t toys, toys are cheap and hollow feeling, figures are detailed, they’re made for adult collectors a lot of the time.
thanks! for showing us a sample to do a wash . as soon i received my thing i will do a weather wash on it.
BRO! This helped so much, this is literally the best tutorial I’ve seen so far and I’m not even being sarcastic! Thanks :D
This looks SO much Cooler! Thanks for the video bud👍🏼😎
I’m going to make a daredevil soon and this is gonna help a lot thanks
I watched video after video trying to replicate the results until I stumbled upon the following technique: 1. Grey matte primer all over (white would probably work too) 2. Black wash on, let dry a little, 3. Fill a spray bottle with isopropyl alcohol (I'm using 99% but probably anything will work) and spray some onto the corner of a paper towel and use that to wipe off all of the raised surfaces. Add more alcohol to the towl, tear and discard towel as needed.
I haven't attempted directly spraying the alcohol on the piece. I think it might just take too much black wash off, and in the crevasses, where I'm trying to deposit pigment, defeating the purpose.
You can make a wash by using the alcohol mixed with the paint. It will dry faster and clean up easier with alcohol...its called an alcohol wash
Great tutorial! it help me a lot :D
Glad to hear it.
wow it works so well with green goblin 10/10 i 100% recommend
Im gonna be doing this on a Marvel Legends Ironan mk 85, and will it do something to the gold on the figure? I don't really want it to be messed up.... But I feel a little more confident thanks to this video!
What if you mix some the acrylic colors and then apply the water? Will there be any difference when adding the wash?
Thanks for the tutorial it helps a lot
My MCU Ultron is just a decent wash away from being a decent figure. I also have to replace his tiny webbed hands. Can you do a wash with enamel paint?
I missed this comment, sorry! No! For the love of god don't do a wash with enamel paint! Lol
Great vid man, couple of questions tho:
1. Would any sanding need to be done?
2. What kinda clear coat would you recommend?
3. Would model master brand paint work for a black wash?
So I've come a long way since this video, and I should probably make an updated version lol. As far as sanding goes, you don't generally need to unless what you're washing is really smooth.
For clear coat you can just use Krylon Matte clear, or whatever name brand equivalent.
As far as paint goes, you can use literally any, or look up citadel/Vallejo washes on Amazon etc. There's a ton that are so great to use, and I highly recommend checking them out.
@@gnarkillguch Gotcha. Thank you for the answers man.
@@greengald6252 No prob.
Nice
OverBlood reference. Peeeepooooooo!!
What about using Tamiya Accent Color not for a complete wash, but for some panel lining on armors for example? Not letting it dry completely if there is any excess to be removed. Just cotton swab it away right there?
Hi. I just blackwash my action figure for the first time yesterday. But I'm not really satisfied with the result. How can I remove the acrylic wash because I wish to redo the blackwash again. Thanks in advance.
Hot soapy water and a scrub brush will take the majority of it off depending on how thick you applied it.
@@gnarkillguch thank you for your advice. I will try your method later
Did you use acrylic paint?
Yep
Would you also spray a sealer on it after?
You should.
Nicely done!
I'm going to try this with my Michael Chiklis Thing figure.
I saw a UA-camr use shoe polish in applying a black wash on their figures. Is it okay to use shoe polish?
That I couldn't tell you honestly. Never tried it, but I imagine it would work at least somewhat.
Awesome video. This should work on Dinosaur models as well?
What if you don't want the wash as dark as black? More water or does a grey wash work?
That's the fun part about washes, you can use whatever color you want. This is an old video, so my methods have changed quite a bit, but the fundamentals are still the same.
This would be great with yellows reds maybe even greens
Do you need to add a clear coat?
I usually don't on just a plain wash no. If you plan on fiddling with it a lot, it might be beneficial to do though.
So is this pretty much just panel lining? Just faster? 🧐
Does the figure gets a sticky texture in the end? 😮
Nope
@@gnarkillguch Awesome! I shall try it this week. Thank you. 🙂
I'm about to do this...do you have to put any kind of clear on it or anything to prevent paint rub?
I think you use a paint sealer
Can you do the cyborg Spider-Man figure?
We're going to be opening up the cyborg and Negative spideys for review next week. I might consider doing some sort of customizing on it, sure.
@@gnarkillguch I seen a black wash done to the arm of cyborg Spider-Man and it looked amazing afterwards. Was looking for a tutorial video on how to do it but couldn’t find one on it yet which brought me to your video/channel and would like to see it done possibly 🙏
@@dayersrosajulian Well it's fundamentally the same process I used here, just smaller scale. As long as you don't overdo the paint app, it'll come out great.
Thanks so much
Thanks! :]
Do you think I could do it with a different color
Oh yea, you can do a wash with any color you want. Black washes are just the most common/simple.
I feel like a dark brown would work better for this specifically
.
Thanks dude! After my gi Joe figure comes in I'll get this thing and add a wash
