Weathering with oils

By weathering you mean painting the panel lines or dry brushing streaks?

If youll be doing panel lines you'll need a really smooth surface like Future. But if you're going to dry brush it i think a flat surface is best.

Well, it's a tank, not an airplane, so neither.

I want to do three things:
1. Create a faded paint effect by painting upper surfaces with a lighter shade of the base colour
2. A wash
3. Drybrushing to bring out raised surfaces

The FSM article talks about how to do all three; I just wonder if I can substitute Future for the Dullcote.

Hi MarianLH,

The only thing about substituting Futurt for Dullcot is that the Future is shiny . If you use it you will eventually haver to add something to remove the shine. Future is a great coater to work over but it does have its drawbacks (shine). I am sure someone with a lot more smarts than I will have your answer.

Woot! Never mind! I found the answer in Matt Swan's "The Complete Future":

"Because Future is a true Acrylic coating washes that are oil or Turpenal based will not affect it as they would lacquer or enamel based coatings."

Off to the store!
