Blending Washes And Oil Dots - Type 5 Chi-Ri (Fine Molds 1/35)

Blending oil paints and adding washes are one of the fundamental techniques in scale modelling. Some of them, especially oils, are often forgotten and while they might not be the most visible effect on the finished model, they are still very important.
And let me tell you, working on a light colored model like this is a lot of fun. So sit back, grab your bottle of enamel thinner and enjoy.

Did you notice something weird?
I usually apply washes first, then add oil dots. OOPS!
JK, it doesn't really matter.

All of your videos are the BEST. Well videoed, lighted, explained, etc. Thank you much. I am in very poor health and modeling helps me relax. I am building models to pass on as part of the art that I do.

I have to say, as a long, long time miniature-wargamer/painter who's recently started applying modelling techniques to my painting (oils, enamels, filters etc.) your channel is fast becoming my favourote source for inspiration and tips!
Keep up the good work and can't wait for the next video!

Easily one of the coolest modeling channels in 2019 😍

[alainvandenbosch]

and with a new exciting Night Shift video.... Best day of the week of course 😍😍😍. Thank you so much for this very inspiring tutorial. You are my hero !!!

Well, that has to be the first time I have actually seen anyone do the dot technique that I could actually understand, and follow. So, I suppose I need to dig out the oils, and see if I can actually duplicate the results.... although I will be working on a hulk at first.
This definitely is a great channel, and I am learning a lot.... definitely love the weld seams and texture.
Thank you for sharing...

Watching the pin wash getting around the small details.... ASMR part of every paintjob!
Keep rockin' it! 🖖

You had me at "living bananas".

Great tutorial as always.

I do not know if someone has already said it sir, but its channel has become one of the best (If not, the best) modeling channels here in you tube. And I assure you that I do not like to praise in a simplistic way. Congratulations! I wish to reach soon the 300 thousand subscribers or more, which is the number of subscribers that has another fantastic modeling channel here.

OMG... thank you, thank you so much, there is so many video, guide talk about using oil dot paint.... but i never found anyone talk about how each color will influence or change the tone of base coat

[earltheartist]

Always nice to see another night shift video and that sexy Eastern European accent. Informative and fun/ny

[andrewschanck]

Martin, my dude, every single technique you do is astounding! I also really appreciate that you explain every step. I now know why my dot fading has never worked well (I flood the surface with thinner) =P
