bill lanfear Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Nice subtle weathering! I will be watching this one come together! I like using the craft paints as well. What oils are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTRACING Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Thanks, for oils I just use 2 colors mainly white and raw umber, also some paynes grey to add in shadows here and there and on any chrome parts. I never thin my oil paint though just use neat for the tube and clear coat over every step with duplicolor acrylic enamel gloss spray bombs. No drying time needed.

bill lanfear Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Thanks James for the tip! I assumed the oils would have to flash before clear coating, I will have to try it out! Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modelbuilder Mark Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Simply WOW! Not sure how you guys manage to work with those craft acrylics. Are you thinning with water, Windex, alcohol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how you guys manage to work with those craft acrylics. Are you thinning with water, Windex, alcohol? my thinner is this, 50% blue windshield wiper fluid / 50% water and a few drops of glycerin, then I use that 50/50 with the craft paint. some colors need more some need less really just gotta mess around to find what works for you and your airbrush setup. if you like to make super shiny builds i would stick with normal spray bombs Edited December 1, 2017 by JTRACING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
