Yep, checked the video again, Plasmo said at about 5:30 in the video "once the oil paint dries out...." then something I couldn't make out because of the accent.
So i'll see ya on this thread in about 2 weeks!

Airfix P-40 Oiled up
- Thread starter moon puppy
- Start date
The OD dried quicker than i thought.
Having some issues on the spine, had a bad spot so I hit it with sanding stick and then some more primer. but as I try to feather it in I"m removing more paint that I want causing it to be far lighter than it should be. Guess I'll do layers on it to build it up or maybe even use a black primer.
I picked up some Paynes Grey, interesting stuff. Goes on like a really dark grey but when feathered out it's about neutral but the residual stuff is like gunmetal. Dries quick! That over pigment went into the panel lines and had a nice effect there. I went back over with the 504 neutral grey because I had some bleeding I didn't like. Hard to work the demark, that's going to take some work in itself. The Paynes Grey will make a return soon.

That Looks really nice and smooth Bob. I will watch the Videos with Attention and check These instructions (YouTube is prohibited at the University where I am now). Question is, do you think it would be possible to get this smooth in 1/72 and with other Colors (Camouflage) as well?
I am attempting to use oils for the 1st time as a weathering in a MiG-29. I will start a thread once it is finished to Show you what a got.
Thanks a lot. For everything.

I think you stand a better chance at smoothing out the finish in a smaller scale. The Brush and quality of paint are key in this.
I also think painting in sections, before final build would help. That's something I noticed you're doing now.

Thanks master. Indeed I am starting to do it now, painting in sections. Then I smooth things over with very diluted paint in the borders and in the Panels. it is working better.
Cheers

So, whatcha gonna build using this technique?
BTW, Plasmo does do a clear coat, brushed on gloss before decals. Not sure what brand that is, might be something in Europe.

You'll see, I will try it on a Luftwaffe MiG-29 and a Sukhoi SU-33. I have been using Airfix Gloss and Matt heavily diluted for the coating after oils. Kinda works but I wull look into that Plasmo stuff.
Just a note, Plasmo is the person doing the youtube video. Not a product.

See? I cannot open the Videos here and now I am blaming myself in a public Forum...
I will check out what Plasmo is using.
I saw this yesterday in person and I have to say it looks really good. This is definitely a viable option that can produce excellent results. There is definitely a learning curve involved but it's nothing overly complicated.
If you don't wish to use a solvent based oil paint you can use Winsor and Newton Artisan Water Mixable Oil. I use these in my weathering process but now I'm starting to think about using them as part of my base color painting.
Here is a great into video about Winsor and Newton Artisan Water Mixable Oil

One of the pros that paints the large figures I have started acquiring uses water colors a fair amount in the fine detailing of the figures he paints. He says that they are used so if he makes a mistake it is easily cleaned off.
Hey, look who's at the bench again.
She's not looking so drab now.

Great to see you back at the bench Bob. The P-40 looks like it is coming along nicely.
Man if I knew I was this close to finishing....still didn't have time and not really finished. Need to get some exhaust stains going down the side, I think that Paynes Grey will do well.
Figured out a good trick for the Future seal coat, thinned it half and half with Windex and used one of those big mop brushes, got a really nice coat on.
Think I do need a flat coat now and some more weathering, what do y'all think?
