I think Vallejo makes the best paints and washes
Yep, one of the best in the world :)
Thank you for making this video. Now I am confident to give it a try. Please keep making these videos as we can all learn from them. Best wishes from Ireland.
Super tuto as always . Simple and helpfull cheers
I always enjoy your tutorials. This is another good one. I watch them all, but don't always comment. Thanks for posting. Regards, Solomon
Thanks my friend :)
WOW, thats exactly the same kitchen towel as i've got :)
LOL
Top tutorial, been thinking of getting some of these wash products to try out. I normally make my own but was wondering if the ready made stuff was better
I have italeri acrylic wash and I still don't know how to use it.
Looking nice method!👍👏
Nice quick vid, well done
Thanks a lot :)
Very Nice 👍
Great.
Merci :)
Love the music
What is the difference between the "Vallejo Model Color Wash" and "Vallejo Game Color Wash" ?
Fantastic job! Looking forward to more videos. Regular subscriber here. Thanks.
My pleasure my friend :)
Good video but pointless noisy soundtrack. Painting is meant to be relaxing. Noise pollution argh. Great products. Not sure why the darker wash would go over the lighter one as they negates the first wash. Always varnish/lacquer model before washes to help them run and adhere. Being acrylic there's no chance of underlaying paint damage if dry before application. Great stuff
keep them coming
Whenever I apply the Sepia wash, it always builds up and looks awful. What Am I doing wrong, please help me thank you.
Good thing you can do well after my explanation tips. Big hug ;)
Da Costa thanks man!
Hi! I was wondering why do you mix the wash with water? Would otherwise be still too dark if you did not? Wash is already light enough as opposed to pure acrylic paint, right? I am just curious since I bought my first black wash paint today. Mine came in a more liquid state. Thank you very much!
This wash is like a filter to unify all the colors. Then you can put a coat of satin varnish and make the panel lines wiht a more strong mix. Stay safe :)
What does varnish do?
Hello, helps to apply the wash with more control :)
Did you also apply the gloss varnish before applying the wash? I just purchased Vallejo washes, and I use Vallejo paints, but I'm having a really hard time with things.
I usually apply gloss varnish pre-wash, as the wash seems to flow better on a gloss surface. The coat of varnish also acts as a "save point". If you get wash where you don't want it, you can wipe or scrub it away without ruining the paint job underneath.
@@jameslane9537 Oh, cool. So, essentially what I can do I spray a gloss coat on, play around with a wash and adjust it here and there then move on with a matte finish, or I can use mineral spirits/acrylic thinner depending on the varnish to remove it altogether and then move on from there. That's kinda awesome. Now I just need to get comfortable with [i.e. overcome my anxiety of] using my [first] airbrush to spray gloss/matte coats lol. Thanks for the information.
@@TheBattleRabbit860 I don't know about mineral spirits... I just use water to scrub away any excess wash.
If you are talking about removing varnish, there is no need, just go over the gloss with whatever varnish gives you the effect you are looking for.
@@jameslane9537 Ah, I see. It's safe to use the Vallejo wash over an acrylic topcoat? Or should I use a different kind, like Testors Glosscote? This is my first time doing anything with any kind of gloss/matte finish as well as using washes/weathering.
Great, what model is that?
Thanks, Italeri 1:72 :)
I bought the Vallejo Game Wash set and man…the wash goes on THICK. And it dries super fast
👍👏👏👏Super Video mein Freund, bitte mehr davon zb. Winter. LG Roy
Danke :)
How many drops are 50/50 i dont know my ratios bro
1 drop of wash 1 drop of wather.
Is it ok if I use alcohol instead water?
It is not recommended, as alcohol can react with the glue and cause some reaction damaging the paint. These products are water-based, so I always recommend only water. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching
I highly recommend using the Vallejo thinning or glaze medium instead of water. Takes a while to dry. The results are better than using water
Congratulations, nice work. Would you mind to say exactly what colours do you use to paint these german trucks?
Sorry the delay answer. Thanks a lot :) The paint´s are from this set - acrylicosvallejo.com/en/product/hobby/sets/afv-color-series/camuflage-aleman-1943-1944-78414/
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing...see you in the web
Your welcome, and many thanks for watching :)
Why do models always look better without the clear coat? The clear coat always changes the look of the weathering. Sometimes it also can look white-ish and chalky if you use a matte top coat.
Final varnishes are sometimes an option. I never put varnish on my tanks, because the finish is oil and I like it. I do the same on some planes as well. In the model of this video it is for Wargames, so it is necessary varnish to protect from handling. When applying matte varnish, care must be taken not to apply too much so that this whitish effect does not become. If this happens, just apply a few gloos varnish to the affected areas until it disappears. Then just give the matte again, and it is refined. Cheers :)

Thanks for the help. I think youre right. I was most likely putting too much clear coat on. (it was Tamiya matte clear coat that I used). And as you say, it can go white. Thanks for the tips on how to avoid it and rectify it. Luckily I didn't actually put it on my model. I only put it on a test model.
Are those Vallejo washes youre using in the video really acrylic? I know some products say they are acrylic on the bottle, but they aren't really proper acrylic like say Tamiya acrylics.
@@Tony-1971 Yes 100% Acrylic, i use tap water for dilution :)
@@DaCostaStudio
That's great. I will have to try these out. I tried making an acrylic wash using water and Tamiya acrylic, but it looked terrible lol, so I bought some oils. There are so many different ways of weathering I didn't realise. Ive experimented with weathering powders and pastels too. Saw someone use decal fix with weathering powders so im going to give that a try too.
@@Tony-1971 If you want to send me pictures to help in the process just ask friendship on my Facebook - facebook.com/profile.php?id=100004416709089
Isn’t that basically a filter used to unify the camouflage ?
Yes it is and the black for pulling some details :)
The music was annoying. Id rather hear you teach.
I don't understand the obsession to varnish a weathered model....
The varnish helps to protect the model, because when dirty with dust and others, we can clean without many problems.
@@DaCostaStudio are you playing with that model in a sandbox??
@@bollomator This model it was a commission and is for gaming ;)
music not apropriate to the video
I believe that there are people who do not like it, I am open to suggestions. As long as they are free music ;)
@@DaCostaStudio Thank you. I like very much rock music however I don't think it fits when I'm modelling, its too distracting. I sugest classical or popular music, or it would be nice also if there was no music but the coments were spoken and not writen. All the best
