    My favourite trick for any wash, shade or speed/contrast paint is a drop or two of Tamiya x-22…breaks the surface tension and make its flow beautifully…it also isnt too bad to toss a drop or two in each normal paint container and watch how smooth it becomes

      You typed X-22 (which is Clear Gloss) or did you really mean X-20A (Acrylic Thinner)?

    personally the new Nuln Oil is absolute trash. A good sub i found Is Pro Actryle Black wash mixed 50/50 with Oblivian Black wash from two thin coats. Another good solution is Newsh from Pro Acryle is like oil paint medium but for acrylics non oil paint, just put the paint then you rub it off with a cloth or makeup and has the same look as oil wash.

    I quit Nuln Oil when Nuln Oil production was stopped in 2022.
    Since then i have bought and tested every Acrylic shade/Ink i could find and compared to my OG Nuln Oil and i have finally found an almost 1:1 replacement. Unfortunately it is made by the thieves at GreenStuffWorld. It's their Wash Ink Atramentum Black. Oils are still nicer, but if you only want Acrylic... now you know which one to buy.

    I have Agrax for Orks and Death Guard, BUT with my Necron color scheme covering the model with Nuln Oil as the next step after priming the models with Admech Grey it makes a really cool dark grey that makes them look just like the Necrons in Dawn of War so I am glad to be able to use up the new Nuln Oil then I can allocate what to use with the classic formula as this new formula is not good for my other models but is PERFECT for my Necrons. I get what you mean as I may need to take a look at a few of my other stuff.

  • @Kiskispal
    @Kiskispal 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I used oil for panel lining, but I also like to gloss varnish and then pin wash (or just slap on) Nuln Oil Gloss. Great capillary action. If anyone can suggest an acrylic gloss that's similar to Nuln Oil Gloss (now that it's been discontinued) I'd be grateful. I've tried adding gloss mediums to regular black washes but it desaturates the wash and has a poor effect, in my experience. Cheers!

    Newsh!! i started with oil wash deductive painting. but newsh is so much easier cause i can just do it at my desk in my room without the fumes from oil washing. Also i really like using a flow improver into any other brands wash to get a nice thin wash and not need to re apply base coat over it.

    Nice video, love your stuff🙂
    Use Enamel wash or enamel based panel liner, the same handling as oils, shorter drying time. They are already thinned, no need to thin them by yourself, more conviniet and faster as oils.
    Depends on the quality of the oil paint, they need days to dry completly. You can use the hairdryer to get rid of the solvents, but as soon you go back with some thinner they can reactivated when the paint itself is not completly dried.
    Hope to see more of your good stuff🙂

    • @pariahzero
      @pariahzero 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That's because oil paints don't _dry_ - they _cure_ . The oils (such as linseed, walnut) react with oxygen to harden into a resin. The reaction from the oil oxidizing is fairly exothermic (generates heat), and can cause spontaneous combustion if you've got rags or paper towels soaked in the paint/oil.
      We had old 1950's-1960's _film_ projector reels that we played in elementary school (I went to school in the 1980's, before VCR's had much media) that warned about storage for rags soaked in "oil" as they are a danger for spontaneous combustion. You were supposed to store the rags it in an airtight metal tin on concrete, away from anything flammable.
      It wasn't until... a few months ago when I started learning about oil paints that I learned the reason was for _oxidizing oils_ like linseed and walnut oils, which are used for oil paints, and wood finishes. My whole life I'd been similarly careful for things that include motor oil which isn't susceptible.

    Never liked Nuln Oil, it never created the depth and definition it was supposed to when panel lining

    It's cheaper, easier and creates some nice, dark shadows

    If you use very matte paint, I highly suggest gloss varnishing it, because the matte paint WILL lock in some of the oil paint and you won't get it out! (and then matte varnishing it again if you don't want the gloss look)
