I hope it helps you--that's what this forum is all about!

Good luck with your filtering, and post some photos up on the Armor forums. The guys will be able to help you out if I can't get online because of my busy schedule!

looking for the basics of dot-filtering. model master enamels for base colors, and normally i use acrylics for weathering. do i need touse oil for this? never used oil, but all suggestions are appreciated...

You can use enamels, but oils dry quicker--but if you're using either over enamels, you're going to have to seal the paint first. You should NOT do this with acrylics--the pigments in them are generally too large to effectively do it correctly. I do my Dot-stuff over Tamiya acrylics, always.

Here's my Oil Dot technique, explained in clear photos. Good luck!
