How to apply an Oil Wash

Washing a 1/48 eduard bf109 with Winton oil paints.

Thank you for this video. I messed up a Tamiya Viper yesterday by using thinner to remove the panel accent wash. Took off quite a lot without much effort. Sad to say the Viper will be turned into a 10, 000 hour aircraft. Lucky for me I have oil paints and just got white spirit!

Some awesome content on your channel and you are a very skilled modeller. Really enjoying the videos and just wanted to say thanks for taking the time for sharing your knowledge with the modelling community. Dan

That's a lovely, really natural finish, and very clearly explained, thanks !

Should the oil wash cure before applying the final varnish?

[kashifikram]

If you use future clear as a gloss coat, I find the thinned oil can’t be wiped off. It takes the surface off too. Will white spirit prevent this?

Sir hi, you remove the wash using what ? please let me know
😊

I've subscribed, please, please keep the content coming. I love the busts mostly and it's so good to see someone painting busts and historicals to boot!

I'm racking my brain trying to get into the hobby, painting these 28mm miniatures from GW. OCD and no skill does not make for a healthy mind while painting lol. One day.

Great video. Can you use mineral spirits for the thinner?

[hansenhenry]

why do you do the chipping before the wash? I've seen people do it both ways and I don't know why...

Thanks for the awesome video!!!

Hi there, I appreciate this is an old video but help would be appreciated :) I try do this, I use a clear coat to seel my paint etc and then leave the wash to dry, but when I try to wipe it off it’s very stubborn and doesn’t really do much, but when I wipe it off using a little dab of thinners it removes everything and sometimes gets through my gloss coat even know its acrylic. I can’t seem to get a balance it seems to be all or nothing. Any tips on what I’m doing wrong or any help in general would be great. Thanks

hi what colors do you use here for the wash? and what would you recommend for enamel colors on a 1/35 jagdpanther? i dont know what i wanna use to get a good dark color but i dont want it to be too dark and unnatural. thanks in advance

[nicholaslowing]

Do you allow the wash to completely dry before removing it? And do you just use a dry cloth to remove the access?

[frktest]

Nice technique yes, but I cannot see the difference before and after the treatment.

[tomfbrb]

Should I do this before the final varnish?

[bensalt]

Just trying out this technique on some of 1/72s that are near completion. Do you let the oil wash dry for a day or remove immediately? Do you have some tips on exhaust and gun stain trails too?

Hi Ipj models, how long do you leave the wash on the model before wiping off. I tried this technique on a wildfire and buggered it right up. The oil paint just won't wipe off.

[davidwasilewski]

Why did you choose blue and brown, instead of black and brown? Was it to simulate the blue from ‘the sky’ reflection? Or am I overthinking this?

[smukki]

Hi! I tried a Vallejo black wash and I put it on there and wiped it away but I was taking away my paint! I did 2 coats of tamiya clear gloss before. My question is did u spray the clear gloss or painted?
