Bill_S Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 It's actually fairly straightforward, Dale. I use cotton swabs. I used different tan base colors on the Felixstowe that sits on the shelf. 109, Shaka HI, D.B. Andrus and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero77 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I've made a little tutorial in the WIP thread of my Albatros. I did not use oil paints but artist acrylics. It dries a lot faster (only a few minutes !) but you also have to be quick. However if you're unhappy with the result, you can remove it with water and retry. Hope this helps ! http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=51336&hl=albatros&page=2 Shaka HI and Shawn M 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 You can add a bit of siccative to oilpaints, that speeds up the drying time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_drying_agent Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive. Only negative is drying time. I only use Tamiya acrylics, so the extra drying time slows down painting somewhat, in my case to something approaching continental drift.

You can try some artists acrylics like the Liquitex Basics range : They dry in a few minutes, even a bit too fast. But you wont have to wait like with the oil paints.

Glaciers don't look like they are doing anything, but they are slowly creeping along, a little bit more each day. Just like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
