- Weathering is probably the hardest thing to master in this hobby, so here I've broken down my top 5 weathering effects I recommend any beginner should try in a nice tutorial video for you all. These techniques are all fairly straightforward, and with a little practice, should give you some great experience and improve your weathering skills!
This video was done in collaboration with David from Dave's Model Workshop. He's a fellow UA-cam Modeller with a great channel loaded with helpful tutorials. Check him out here: / @davesmodelworkshop

DISCLAIMER: I am not paid to promote any specific products or brands; I just use the products I find work best for me through my experiences. There is no reason for me to promote a bad product, as then I would not enjoy using it, not like the result on my model, and not be proud of publicizing it in a video. There's also no point in me doing this to keep up relations with a company if the only benefit would be getting more of the same products that I didn't like. I have not used every product out there, but from what I have used, I keep using the products I like, and that's why I use them in my videos. You can use whatever other products you would like to and you can feel that they are better - that is your opinion, and is perfectly fine by me, thus I hope that feeling is reciprocated. - Розваги
In keeping with the theme of this video, I have an awesome playlist here showcasing a bunch of quick tutorials on simple weathering effects. I hope you all enjoy and learn something new!

Can weathering also be done without oil paints?
Because I am a poor university student.

Oil paint is extremely forgiving
I am 53 years old and I am really surprised how much experience and knowledge you have for such a young man. You are a great instructor that has a good way of explaining techniques as well as anyone else out here. Keep doing what you're doing and learning as much as you can learn. People out here need people like yourself. I have to say that even us older folks can learn a thing or two from the younger generation. I thank you for taking your time to make and post these videos.
Hey Ray. I'm 55 and just found this channel and couldn't agree with you more. This young man has inspired me to take up modelling again, respect to him. I remember back in the day you couldn't get this type of information easily at all and now I've just watched a talented young man show me effects from the other side of this world that I would have given my right ear for as a kid to have finished my beloved models off a 1/4 as well these examples!! Just found the joy of life and learning again haha, found BoB Ross the amazing oil painting artist again the other day..what amazing artists and technology we have, what a thing!
I hear ya Robert. I'm 50 and I was an avid model builder in my early teens (1979-85). Back then the only chance I had to find any kind of model weathering/fx tips was to go to my local library and pray that they had a book on that topic (which was never the case). Now that I have a teen kid of my own, I'm hoping to get him into it, and with tutorials like this one we'll have so much more resources and information at our disposal-way, way more than anything I could've ever dreamed of back in the day. Thanks Panzermeister36!

Yup -Same Here!!

articles in Voyager Magazine 👍
Stop looling down on the youth.

A true hero
You managed to make some of the finest details look achievable for someone who just started the hobby. I cannot thank you enough for this video, you made doing weathering so much more approachable for me. Appreciate it big time, I know my first model isn't going to be great but I want to be able to have it sit next to my later models without being obviously garbage so this kind of detail will really help. I'm not going to attempt some of the techniques yet like the pigment creating beautiful mud and dirt effects, I'll try that once I get better at everything else, but just knowing how to pin wash and add some discoloration is great. I just wish I knew to get a mixture of paints and not just all one kind because everything I got initially is acrylic and I didn't know that stuff is terrible for washes and things like that.
As a first "model-weatherer", your videos have been a tremendous source of instruction and information for me. The production quality, your attention to detail and your passion for the craft is remarkable. Keep up the great work!
Amazing results ! Weathering effects on models are amazingly impressive and make it really more realistic.
Thankyou so much for this, nice to have some of the key areas covered for someone trying to create convincing weathering effects who is a beginner
Absolutely first rate! Thank you for your accuracy, brevity and clarity on weathering techniques, I cant wait to try!
The part about letting oils sit for a while to let the oil seep out over 3 to 5 hours is the most important thing I pulled from this. I appreciate that!! I have never seen anyone else say that in any video.
I'm happy to have helped you out there! That seeping will really cut down on the drying time of the oils on the model 🙂
Excellent stuff, one of your best videos! Important techniques to know - well demonstrated with clear instructions. This should help give modellers (of any level) the confidence to tackle these finishes!
Awesome idea, doing this with Dave!
Thank you for posting this video! I've seen countless videos of finished models with heavy weathering but only a handful of videos showing how to actually do it.
Nice pfp
Super informative - just starting out with painting sci-fi models and your weathering tutorial is giving me lots of ideas for getting that grimy, industrial look - thanks
Great video, going to recommend it to some beginner scalemodelers for sure.
Thank you very much! I'm a big fan of your videos :)
Brilliant video. So useful. Thank you for this 👍🏼
Man you got some skills!! Thanks for the tips!! Gonna try these for sure!!
Great video! This really helped to make muddy Star Wars scout troopers on Endor!
This guide is awesome!! Asked my brother who build a couple of models back in the day to get them out so I can try some of these techniques on them
Total noob here. Awesome and clear info. Great video!
Ive been nervous about painting tanks, but after this I'm pretty confident
Ive watch a few of these chipping and weathering videos,and this has been the most informative and straight forward one ive seen.
Thanks
Huge thank you for taking your time to do this video!! I learned a lot and I appreciate it very much!!! Thank You!!!!
OUTSTANDING, I am 50 and looking for a hobby. I want to get back into modeling. When i was a kid, I built several models, but wow, this is kool!
Superb! As an amature weatherer, I like videos like this that can add to toolbox of knowledge. I always try at least one new technique with every new build.
I am just starting with a weathering work and your video helping to understand essential work- thank you!
Thanks for this video, earned a sub straight away :). Can't wait to apply these techniques, tho 1/72 will be a challenge all right. Keep up the great work, greetings from Hungary!
Great video Panzermeister36! Really interesting to see our different interpretations of the Top 5. I also agree, it would be fascinating to see other modellers produce videos giving their own version of the Top 5 Weathering Techniques. It is a pleasure working with you, Dave :)
Dave, why no mention of needing to apply an oil wash OVER a gloss clear? For video meant for beginners to try pin washing that knowledge would be immensely helpful to get proper results and not just a giant splotch of oil.
I never use gloss coats. Or any kind of sealing coats, except sometimes before hairspray chipping to protect the base paints. I won't even gloss before or after decals....and I've never had any problems.
Hi Reggie, I'm the same as Panzermeister, I don't insist on having a gloss cost before I apply an oil wash. In my video the Tamiya M15A1 jeep I applied an oil pinwash to didn't have any gloss coating. I don't think it's essential. Cheers, Dave
I tend to go back and forth on it depending on whether I think the surface I'm working on needs it. Same with the decal thing; I will lay a bit of Future down under old or thick decals, but most of the ones I run into lately melt down nice under a setting solution whether I gloss or not.
Hopefully people will take away that these tips are meant to be basic guidelines for the five methods, and that as one practices those methods will be altered to more closely match the user's specific approach. They are not set in stone. Even the second set of laws Moses supposedly brought down had some revisions done from the first set.
Check it out.
Yes, I'm getting rid of the gloss coat step in the process too. I find that using a gloss over the base coat can end up getting fingerprints or smudges, and really doesnt do all that much. If you are needing the advantage of flow, then it's like you show in your video...just make the wash the right level of thin. Also with a gloss coat, the oil dot process does not work as well as a filter.
Nice work..... will save that as I do need to start doing that eventually ! Thanks for making this and sharing Dave's channel !
My kid brother is 3D-printing me a model of my favorite beat-up starship from a '90s video game franchise, and somehow in the course of trying to learn to realistically paint it I ended up here. Thanks so much for sharing your techniques! It's straightforward enough that even a complete hopeless neophyte like myself can get psyched about the process. I'm excited to put brush to paint!
Learned a lot watching this. Some tips sound so obvious when they're explained. Very clever and super effective finishes. Thanks for sharing .
2 year old video and the advice and effects are still really impressive. Even with all the products out there to simulate weathering I think it is still important for model builders to know how to do it without these products as well so they don't think that if they don't have the latest weathering paint or kit from Company X that their results would be as good.
All your explanations and examples are very clear, short and easy to follow. I have looked at dot filter tutorials before that are 20 to 40 minutes long and while I do praise the creators effort, they just go into so much detail that in the end it it hard to follow. Yours was perfect. Just \do A and B to get C and practice those steps. Thanks!
I'm going to weather my first tank and this is really interesting video to get me started on the right track,no pun intended,lol,Thanks
OUTSTANDING!!!! This was very easy to understand and extremely helpful!!
I just watched Dave's Model Workshop video with his 5 tips. Between you both, you guys have given a new modeler or someone who's unfamiliar with these techniques, new weapons to make their kits look brilliant. Thank you for sharing. I've been a big fan of yours for sometime. Keep up the great work.
Best weathering video I have seen. Much appreciated!
Really helpful thanks. I'm just starting a WWI model railway layout so perfect timing for my tanks, ambulances. buses and trucks.
GREAT beginner's tips! I am just starting back into modeling after many many years away from it. I cant wait to try these techniques out on car models.
Great video, with the hairspray method you get really nice effects, i had did it too after i readed the book of Michael Rinaldi. He is a very great modeler and my Idol.
After watching your video, you’ve give me a little more confidence in weathering my models. I appreciate the time you’ve taken to show us how some great effects can be achieved.
Thank you for sharing
Awsome Video. I've been doing model cars/planes/tanks for years but have never weatherd them. Lots of videos on it are complicated and long. Yours is straightforward and easy. Appreciate the help😂
very well done...i am just in my 6th month of air brushing and have so much to learn. thank you very much for the video,your work is a Divinchi master-piece
So THATS how you do it! Thanks a lot man helps out loads!
I just started on my first scale model EVER. This video was amazing.
Glad to hear that :) thank you!
Great video, thanks. Just getting back into modelling and wanting to take finishing to the next level. This helps tremendously.
dude this has been exactly what ive been looking for. I've been painting mini's (Originally FoW 15mm WWII) for ages and i recently got back into the hobby with SW Legion and I could never quite figure out these kinds of effects, and my more seasoned painter friends never could explain them to me in a way that worked. this video instantly got me success. I just so happened to had picked up some weathering effect pigments to test out and your chip by brush technique along with the pin wash immediately fixed the jarring effect i had with my TX-130 tank i painted in a weird tri color sci-fi jungle camo. Thanks so much for this simple and clear vid.
I Really enjoyed the tutorial & as yet I have not try the hair spray technique, but will be soon.
Thanks.
Always good to see the various techniques. Thanks.
Awesome tips man. I mean it. You just made my day!
This is a fantastic video - answers so many questions for as I am just getting started and very instructional videos go into the details like this, thanks!
Great tutorial, I'm definitely going to use these techniques. Thank You..
this is one of the best instruction vids on the net about this subject. very good.
Awesome.....tried my first dot filter after watching this vid.....well happy with the results....keep up the good work
Just watched this again.....awesome video. Love the chipping and hairspray in particular. Super stuff.
Thanks for a great video I myself have been modeling from about 9 years old and now 54 and just learned something that I think will help my game thank you for sharing
Casual modeler for 30+ years.... took your advice and tried pin washing. Fantastic advice!!!!!!!!! Gonna try dot wash next. Thanks a ton!!!!
One of the best videos on UA-cam regarding weathering tanks.......Thanks for taking the the time to upload and show us how to do it.
Thank you very much!
Well done making this video. Lots of useful information explained politely & clearly for viewers to understand.
Hey great video panzer. Thanks for posting. This was a big help for me!!!!
Thanks man! I'll try this soon and I hope it'll look as great as that!
I am so amazed. Thank you very much for the video mate
First time here. Love'in the detailed talk-through. Liked, subbed - no brainer.
I must say that this has to be one of the most informative 'How To' videos on the subject I have ever seen.I have just subscribed.
Thank you!
getting back into the hobby - thanks for the update, things have changed alot since 2000!
things have really changed for me since the 80's

Lol not kidding
Great video! I like how you actually show how to do the technique. I've seen a lot of videos where they tell you about the technique, describe how to do it, then show a before/after photo. But they don't actually show how to do it. Your video, in combination with Dave's is a great idea, and a great info set for beginners, or really for any level modeler. Great info and great techniques!
Thank you very much!
Great video and very timely for me just about to start my Ardennes project...
I never really take my time to comment videos but for this excellent tutorial I will make an exception. Thank you so much for sharing your tips and techniques! Very good even for a seasoned modeller like me!
Thank you for your awesome comment :) much appreciated!
Great no nonsense tutorial. I think it can become so over whelming with the amount of choices through the process of building a model, this keeps it simple.
Such an awesome, informative video with detailed instructions.
I’m a airbrush artist and do automotive and custom bikes n stuff. And I was suprised how much of this info I can apply even in the automotive industry for a weathered look!Thanks!! Subscribed!
perfect video I was looking for this kind of technics and advices
thank you so much =)
Thank you for the vid, i have had trouble getting started for ages, this will really help. Awesome!!
Thanks so much for this video. Very helpful!
Nice Evan, clear and informative, well filmed, your videos are a pleasure to watch and i learn something every time :)
Oh my goodness thank you finally a video I can understand and follow
Thanks, I am getting back into painting/making customs after years of nothing. Nice refresher course
Awesome Job! Thanks for taking the time to post!
Cheers as someone coming back to the hobby this is very helpful.
Some great techniques, I haven't done complex weathering so this will be helpful :)
Excellent work! Thanks for the help, it will be nice to try these out
Thank you!
Great top 5! Very useful!!

Great video, I wouldn't consider myself a beginner anymore but still enjoyed it and learned from it.
Very interesting and useful, thank you.
Great video. It was very informative. I'm trying up further up my detail work on my gundam models and this helped out alot. Thank you.
+Mark Repp Thank you. I build gunpla occasionally and may do a weathering video on one sometime this summer.
Thanks for this , you gave me more ideas for weathering ! Very cool!
Great techniques really well presented at a nice brisk clip with outstanding videography. Keep up the great work! Can't wait to watch more of your work!
Thank you Richard :)
Dave's Model Workshop opened my 69 year old eyes and now you have widened them! Trouble is my earlier efforts are looking a tad rubbish. Oh well, keeps me out of trouble. Cheers Panzermeister I will have to give this a go.
Thank you. I will try this.
I had been struggling with hairspray chipping techniques, so I attempted the painted on scratches using a much lighter and darker shade of my base color and am happy to report that, you're right it does create a very realistic 3D type look and I found it much easier to control my effect and managed to create some extremely fine areas of scuffs w deeper chipped areas right down to the primer...thank you
Awesome! you make it look so easy !!
Great video! Thank you taking the time to post it.
Awesome tutorial... Thank you!
THANK YOU! So much
Cause i need something to weather my tiger1 i do not how but these begginners tips are great thank you😁😁😁
Very nice vid, short concise and easy to follow . Will try it on some of mine.
Just amazing!
Thanks for this video, I have been building model armor for 50 years and never tried oils for weathering until very recently. Whenever i tried weathering using model paint it always came out looking too unrealistic for the effect I was trying to achieve, I'm hoping oil paint streaks and washes might move me to the next level of scale realism... I just bought an "Abteilung 502 set for mapping techniques lights & shadows" for $40, that is mixed specifically for modelling. The Windsor newtan oils you mention, are $30 for a set of 10 tubes on the 'bay. I don't have a good eye for mixing colors, and the ones from Abteilung 502 set are already the right shade for weathering scale models, with the Windsor newton you must make your own shade. And hope it makes the effect you seek.
