  • Hey guys, Modelling Weekly here! In today's video, I'll be providing the basic information about using oil paints on your models, along with 4 nice techniques that will make your builds pop! I hope you find it helpful!
    OIL PAINTS FAQ:
    Q: Are oil paints toxic?
    A: No, unless you have an allergy to linseed oil. You have to be careful with the thinner though, as some can be harmful to your health (e.g. White Spirit).
    Q: Do I need a varnish layer before using oil paints?
    A: Sometimes, though I would apply a varnish all the time just to be safe. Some paints require it (such as acrylics), though hybrids such as Tamiya do not necessarily, though it's good to be safe.
    Q: What can I use to clean or thin oil paints?
    A: Products such as white spirit, or designated oil thinners for artists or modelers are good things to go to.
    Q: How long do oils take to dry properly?
    A: Between 24 to 48 hours, though most of the time it's fine to leave oil weathering to dry for around 2 to 3 hours before applying a varnish over the top.
    Q: Is it OK to apply oil paints with synthetic hair brushes?
    A: Yes! Brushes that use natural hairs (such as Sable) generally blend the oil paint nicer, though if you want to go cheaper then synthetic hairs are perfectly fine and usable.
    Q: Do I need to remove excess oil from my oil paints before using them?
    A: Again, it's not necessary, though highly recommended. Draining a lot of the oil from the paints before using them makes them easier to blend, and also decreases their drying time.
    Q: Should I apply a sealing varnish layer over the top of my oil weathering?
    A: Only if you wish to apply more enamel/oil effects on top of the weathering, without disturbing your previous work. Otherwise, oil paints will dry to a tough and dry finish after you leave them for 24 to 48 hours! NOTE: Some acrylic varnishes don't stick very well to oil paints. Xf-86 and other Tamiya Hybrid varnishes work for me though, so you could try them.

    If you use odorless thinner instead of white spirit or zippo fluid, you do not have to varnish the surface as long as the paint is cured. In fact, it does not damage the decals either although you may need to locally varnish to blend in the decal film. Eduard decals, when the film is pulled, do not need any protection. It not only saves time and varnish but the paint surface reacts nicely with the oil paint. This technique definitely works wth an acrylic paint base.

    Very nice tutorial, I will just add two tips. First, not go cheap with oil paints. Better oil paints are expensive indeed, but only for artists, because we as plastic kit modelers use typically such a miniscule amount that a single tube will probably last forever. The second tip, instead of using artist's white spirit which can be expensive and difficult to get by, there is a good alternative of using zippo fluid (for lighters). It has very practical packaging for dispensing small well controlled amounts, it works well, costs almost nothing (like 2 USD per 5 oz) and is available pretty much everywhere.

    I have tested a few flat varnishes for a base coat to do oil weathering on and I can confirm that XF-86 works great, it's the best for oils that I tested yet. I thin 1 part xf-86 to 2 parts mr color leveling thinner for the best results. Thinning with Isopropyl Alcohol leaves it chalky and thinning with X20A leaves it rough and blotchy. Mr color leveling thinner has the absolute best result with xf-86. As far as using oils over it, it's great, the oils grip well to it and they level out, even out and blend beautifully on it. I've used other flat varnishes that were just a little too smooth and trying to blend oils was very difficult be cc'd cause they would just slide around too easily. Xf-86 doesn't have this problem. The quality of the surface you're putting oils on is just as important as the quality of the oils themselves and your technique. Using the wrong surface can give you lots of headaches but using the right one makes it easy and fun.

    • @ModellingWeekly
      @ModellingWeekly  4 місяці тому

      Depending on the amount of oils you've applied, anywhere from 12 hours to 2 days is required for them to dry. For light weathering, I tend to cheat and go for about 6 hours, but 12 hours is recommended. If you're doing more work over the top, a clear coat is necessary - and it's recommended even if you aren't :)

    Thanks for this. I've just returned to aircraft kits after a 30 year hiatus and this was really helpful in getting a grasp of oils. Any advice on how to use oils to recreate smoke/streak effect around gun ports/barrels to represent them having being fired?

    • @ModellingWeekly
      @ModellingWeekly  3 місяці тому +1

      No problem! Your best bet for this is making use of a similar technique to the streaks I did in this video, however with a dry blending technique instead. On a satin base layer, apply small specks of the oil at the start of where you want the smoke to start, and then drag it backwards with a soft brush and circular motions so you sort of create a blended smoky effect. Might take a few tries to get the effect you want, but should look good in the end! Best example I have of this is in my Eduard 1/48 mitsubishi zero build video where I use this technique on the wing mounted machine guns :)

      You can if you wish, though after 2 or 3 days they will be properly dry (This depends on the quality of the paint, as some can be 'oilier' than others so to speak). I always seal mine no matter what just to give some extra protection. If you plan to do another layer of weathering on top, then you must seal the first layer.

    • @ModellingWeekly
      @ModellingWeekly  2 роки тому +1

      I'd say the best way to do this is to literally use white oil paint, possibly off white, to hint at patches of sea salt that have deposited on the plane. I've seen it done before and it looks pretty effective if used sparingly. An alternative would be to add some pretty heavy preshading and post shading in the areas you want the effect to be, so it looks like the structure is showing through

      Heya :) I'm not quite sure what you mean by squash effect, do you have a video you could link?
      In terms of decals, my top tip would be to buy a bottle of micro set, and a bottle of micro sol - they're fantastic. Micro set helps the decal stick to the surface, and micro sol is applied later on to soften it into the surface details. If you search "micro sol and set tutorial" on UA-cam there should be a lot of material to work with! Other than that, just take your time and maybe do a few practice runs on a throwaway model if you have one :)

    Rookie here....what is the benefit of using a matt coat (xf-86) over just the regular clear tamiya has? I thought the gloss clear made it easier to work with the wash and streak and clean what you dont want off the model?

    • @ModellingWeekly
      @ModellingWeekly  2 місяці тому +1

      Gloss is fantastic if you don't want to blend or manipulate the wash in any other way than just wiping off the excess when you're done - this is because the surface is extremely smooth, so it doesn't have anything to grip onto apart from surface features like panel lines (so it's great if you just want to do a panel line wash)
      On the other hand, a Matt coat is pretty rough on a nano scale, allowing the wash to grip better, and allowing for easier blending and manipulation on the models surface :) hope this helps!

      That could potentially work, using white spirit to blend in the dot filter, however my best recommendation would be to use an airbrush to spray a highly thinned layer of a lighter olive drab, bringing up the overall brightness in a uniform way - this is known as a colour filter, or colour grading. If you don't have an airbrush however then a dot filter could definitely help to bring up the brightness to a certain extent :)

    Hello! I have a question about oil paints and washes based on them.
    I have come across models where these techniques were used and they were greasy in touch, even though it had been weeks since they were completed. Several of my friends have also encountered the problem that the satin/matt varnish applied at the end of the work cracked where it came in contact with the oil paint (even if they applied it after few days of drying time). Here, from what I've known it's because oil paint can release gaseous substances over time and that may be reason for this happened. I paint mostly miniatures for gaming purpose, sometimes something for dioramas (and I want to try some scale models) and have never used oil paints before. I would like to expand my workshop with them. However, I'm afraid to have similar experiences I mentioned above. What could be the reason for such greasy feel and cracking of the paint applied on oil paint? How to prevent this from happening? Have your models also become greasy to the touch after years or do you not have this problem. Can oil paint react with paints applied previously? Please help :-)

    • @ModellingWeekly
      @ModellingWeekly  2 роки тому +1

      Hi! I can't say I've had this problem before. Oil paints are fairly inert, so I doubt it's reactions with previous layers that is the issue. My best guess as to why this is happening is either because the oils have separated in the tube, or because they have not been applied to a piece of cardboard or a napkin before hand. Another likely cause could be mixing the oils with a substance that isn't soluble in them - water, lacquer thinners, acrylics thinners, amongst others, shouldn't be mixed with oils. Though I doubt this is the cause of the issue. My best solution at this point is to hop on my discord, and post a message in the help-centre section, where you might be able to find someone with similar issues! I really hope it gets sorted for you mate

      Because it's a very small layer of paint you're applying on the model, most oil weathering methods will be ready for a spray-on varnish after ~6 hours, and will otherwise be rock hard within 24 hours (if you wanted to brush paint a varnish over the top)

    Morning, after one applies a wash should you clear coat before the streaking??

    • @ModellingWeekly
      @ModellingWeekly  Рік тому +1

      So long as the oil paint used for the wash dries properly, it's not strictly necessary to clear coat. The situation where I would clear coat within the weathering process however is when highlighting, as the highlights are susceptible to mixing with the wash colour and becoming muddy :)

    • @ModellingWeekly
      @ModellingWeekly  2 роки тому +1

      If you're talking oil paints, I think a good brown, black and white should cover you most of the time. In terms of just normal paint, it really depends what you plan working on. There's so many specific shades that it's hard to choose. I'd look into the schemes of some kits you'd like to build, and then choose paints based on those. A good tip is to also choose schemes on kits with similar colours, just so you don't have to buy too many new paints per kit

      Thinning ratios in honesty depend heavily on a lot of factors, including whether or not you plan to spray it, what brand, what type, what surrounding air temperature there is, so the best thing to do is experiment on a test model if you can :) (all my paints and varnishes are thinned by eye)

      When working with oils/white spirit on top of enamels, I'd definitely lay down some kind of varnish (doesn't really matter what) just to protect the paint from any damage :) that really goes for any kind of paint, but enamels in particular as white spirit is a type of enamel thinner

    what do you clear coat over oils with?

    • @ModellingWeekly
      @ModellingWeekly  2 роки тому

      You can do it with essentially any modeller-branded varnish! My favourites are tamiya acrylics, Mr color GX lacquers, and I believe tamiya lacquers are pretty good as well - though can't confirm this as I haven't use those in particular yet. The key is to let them fully cure before working on top of the varnish layer

    How long do oils take to dry?

    • @ModellingWeekly
      @ModellingWeekly  7 місяців тому

      Depends on the thickness of the oils - heavy weathering should probably be left for a day or two, whereas if you've just applied an oil wash and some basic blending then you can afford waiting only 5 or 6 hours. Thats if you're spraying the varnish coat over the top however - if you're handbrushing then it's essential that the oil paint has fully cured, so I'd leave it for around 2 days in thet situation

    • @ModellingWeekly
      @ModellingWeekly  2 роки тому +1

      You're correct, if you used enamel paints to begin with then a good varnish layer over the top is essential. Hunbrol clear coats should work in theory, in fact I used them a while back before I switched to lacquers. Need to make sure they have properly cured first though. Also, if you're hand brushing the varnish I'd highly recommend using a rattle can instead to get a more consistent coat 👍
