right now iam doing a wash on my brummbar.
i am useing model master brunt umber enamel paint.
and i mixed the paint. i used likelike 10 drops of paint and i added to the thinner
and i put the wash in the body lines of the model and also over the whole roof of the kit
and when it dryed its looks like there is no wash in the lines but u can see all the wash around the other parts of the rised detail
i also put a coat of future be fore the wash. and let that dry a few hours,
should i use a darker wash or does the wash in the lines dont show up just a liltte bit.

thanks agian guys

Add another wash to the recessed areas. I don't know how much thinner was tinted, but it appears the was was too thin.

Hi Tazz

Like Al says, another wash should sort things. If you use a small brush, capillary action should carry the wash along the panel lines.

Don't worry if things don't all happen in one pass... it's not unusual to have to apply multiple washes to get the effect you want.

All the best

ok guys i did one more pass it looks like it will do the trick and thanks,
do u guys also put wash on the flat places on your tanks??

Not usually as it tends to shift the color. I use the wash to accent raised detail.

Hi again Tazz

I know some people swear by washes over flat areas. From experience, it's great when it works, but does risk "tide-marks". These are distict gradations that appear as the pigment in the wash settles.

Personally, I like to use chalk-pastels to get subtle variations in tone. This works best over a matt finish, to give the dust something to "bite". The best thing is it's so "user friendly"... if you don't like the effect, just wash it off.

Once you're happy, seal it with a coat of varnish.

Hope this helps

Rowan

ok thanks guys for some reason i just cant do a wash over tools and all rised stuff,
i doi a washall over the tank.
then when thats dry .
i drybrush the whole tank even the flat places then i will use chalks.
i will post my pic of my stuart i did that to a few weeks ago

Hi tazz, you did the right thing as far as applying the wash. It's always best to add a little at a time, then to apply too much all at once and end up with a mess or bad result. If your not satisfied with the ist wash ( which is usually the case ) just add another application after about 15 to 20 minutes. Add as many or as little until you, yourself are satisfied. Always let each wash dry before adding the next. Have fun !

Usually, I use a couple of very thin washes over the whole vehicle, then use a darker wash around bolts and in panel lines. After the washes, I drybrush the whole vehicle. The main problem I have had is to be sure that the washes I use over the whole vehicle are very light. Otherwise it is an exercise in 'how do I save a ruined paint job'.( the learning curve can be very STEEP at times).

Hey Tazz, check out my article on my site re: Weathering Models using Artist's Oils. I find I LOVE them now and have been getting amazing results.
