Junker J1 WNW 1/32.

Hello to all,
So, I tried weathering with oil paints. But, I'm always in a research way.
I put points of paint:

Then, I pull it with a white spirit soaked brush:

It give some chromatic variations but, this time decals didn't react as usual. So, I'll use something else.
For under blue parts, this technic is too much and the result is rather ugly (especially blue paint). I should hide it with AK pigments. 

In fact, I'm not at ease with a time limit. I do not it again.
Best regards.
Alain.

I like the results very much! It reminds me a Little of Verlindens old method for weathering aircraft. Looking great in my opinion.

Very nice effect with the dot method . Don't see this being applied to aircraft modeling by many . Looking forward to your next up-date

Hello to all,
Here we are, the show is tomorrow and J1 is nearly finish. Adjustements and upper wing position were a hard battle...
Look, I had to use that...

After two hours of "sweety words"....RAHANNNNNNNNNNNN !!!!!! I got it !

A view of engine before closed:

A few picture in the sunset light (I hearded but J1 didn't sing I'm a poor lomesone ...  )





So, I have still a little work on it (a bit of weathering and rigging).
Best regards.
Alain.

Looking very good - what a beast of a aircraft!

For the spot-oil weathering, do you coat the surface first with an acrylic clear?

hello to all,
More thanks for your kind words. 
Petrov, I don't use clear because of troubles I had but, now, I think they were due to my lack of experience. By looking at the picture, you can see that I don't always control weathering effects. Paint, especially Tamyia paint, "drink" white spirit. On canvas, it could be interesting but on metal parts, it couldn't. On the next one (a buddy for D XII... ), I'll try to clear metal part to get exactly that I want.
To resume, I think  I don't work with a time limit anymore because I had to skip some mistakes, decals silvering for example. But, it was a real pleasure to share with you. 
Best regards.
Alain.
