Hi guys,

I see a lotta weathering questions nowadays
Ok.we know many ways of weathering, i use different ways of it...BUT...
There's another way that i use which is very affective but really needs a little bit experience and courage. I do sometimes (rarely but).
I directly apply the "raw or burnt amber" on the model with an ear stick, (or even with finger sometimes) and then "quickly" i clean it with a tissue. Thus, the edges and the channels, holes, rivets etc.. become as dark as i want but the rest stay clean.

I wonder if somebody uses or tried this way before !?

Thanks for your comments.

HI THERE M113 ! I ve tried this method and really works but i think the brush method gives more control and fine work.but in hars times i ve used the finger - tissue method and worked. Just need to be carefull and by all means have the base coat well dry and sealed so you dont leave any fingermarks

Nai major goose. Exactly.

That's why i said need courage (crazy courage) :-) But it really works, doesn't it ?

And seems like nobody tried this way before.

Anyway..efharisto poli for your answer...happy modelling...

I do with times this even-Stephen, but use instead of finger of fat brush.

Another good technique. I use something simular to what jw73 does, a nice 1/8" flat brush. I hate finding finger prints that I might have missed. Good tip. "Q"

WHAT A CRAZY TEHNIQUES....

I MY SELF STILL AFRAID TO USE OIL ON MY MODELS...
SO MUCH OF BAD EXPERIENCES...........

This technique is very useful on faces. I have applied a raw sienna oil paint over an acrylic base, leave to dry for about half an hour, and then draw a medium-stiff 1/8" flat brush downwards over the face. This removes most of the oil paint from the forehead, cheekbones, nose and chin. After about 3 days drying the eyes etc are painted in with acrylics and you have a 1/35 scale face with shadows and highlights.

I use this tehnique on 1/35 faces. Yeah, it works very nice. I never used at the vehicles, till now

I also use this method when painting figures. See below. Base painted with tamiya tellow acrylics and airbrush. Then brush painted with raw sienna oils, and removed with a wide brush, always pulling down to create natural shadows. Then skin tones painted in with humbrol enamels and oils. I like painting with humbrols as I have good control, but a little oils mixed in, allows extra time for blending and feathering. By the look of some of these pictures I need to do more workt o stop dust getting mixed in. This is a very common method by figure painters.
Im trying to improve my figure skills and when I get a step by step instruction I try to follow it and repeat the system ... hopefully learning along the way. I dont think Id be 100% happy to do this on a vehicle though as its a big area, and small detail could get damaged or broken off. In a way its a thicker wash method.
At the end of the day, if you have found something that works for you, and you like the results .. go with it. theres no rigt or wrong in painting.

I also use this method when painting 120 mm or 1:16 figures.
