Manda's (Amachan) 'Oiling Up' Project
Weather in the Shade.
Today I wanted to apply the first layer of weathering/shading. To start off with I tried to put an oil through my airbrush and that made a mess of my airbrush, I might have done something wrong so I thought I’d see what difference is between doing an oil wash with a brush or an enamel wash with my airbrush. I am working on developing a paint scheme to paint warbands and armies with, so nothing too complicated.
First I applied a coat of MIG Neutral Wash (P222) with my airbrush over the model.
Then a coat of AK Interactive Fresh Mud (AK016) over the base.
First I went over the mode with a wool dauber and a bit of mineral spirits to remove the majority of the enamel coats and then followed that up with a cotton bud in the finer details and this is the result so far.
This is obviously going to have to dry for a bit of time. But I do think I should have picked a different base colour for the base of the model. I’ll see how it turns out.
