How-to on Weathering with Clay based Washes

[Coen]

For the last several days I've been working on a series of videos on how I've been weathering my builds using clay-based washes instead of oil/enamel based washes.
I still use oils for doing filters, dot filters (mapping), small detail effects like rust, oils stain and streaking, but the all over washes have been replaced with clay-based washes.
I've been asked a few times by several folks to put together video on how I do it, but I ended up doing more than one.

I want to add that this is just a "how I do things" series and not a "how to do things" video series.
I hope that it's ove some use.

You're welcome Andy... it entertained me for the last five days or so hahaha.
The snow is the snow... not much point in complaining about it.
It could be worse... it could be cats and dogs.

Just finished watching the first one and a quick skim through the rest. Great series and a excellent resource for those of us who have not done much weather on armor.

Many thanks.

I'm glad it was of use Stuart.

Only a couple of minutes into the first video. One thing you forgot about the Stylenrez is that it needs to be shake very well. A ball bearing, nut or glass bead will speed it up. With the monster bottles like yours, a horseshoe might be best.
I've found it's dry to touch in about 15 minutes and I've also painted over it after an hour's drying time.

2nd video: The Tamiya type "spear point" cotton buds can be found at the drug stores (Shoppers and Rexall, etc). They call then make-up applicators and they sell for 80 for $5. You can get ones that are spear points at both ends or with the spear at one end and a flattened, almost pan shape at the other.
