Hi guys.

 

Is there a link? I am too stupid to find it. 

 

Many thanks. Dale

It's actually fairly straightforward, Dale. I use cotton swabs.

 

 

I used different tan base colors on the Felixstowe that sits on the shelf.

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 !

You can add a bit of siccative to oilpaints, that speeds up the drying time

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.

Thanks, will certainly try those.

 

Will increase my speed from continental drift to glacial movement.

 

Glaciers don't look like they are doing anything, but they are slowly creeping along, a little bit more each day.

 

Just like me.

Zero77, thank you for the link and tutorial!
