Hi all
Sorry if I'm still a noob at making tutorials. Thanks for pointing out that I'll need to add more details about what products to use and the procedure.
First off, you'll need to varnish your model - this is the most important. Otherwise, the paint will rub off and you'll be really sad.
The fundamental of this technique is fairly simple: varnish to protect and stain/add detail with oil paint. You can try and improvise or play around with how you want to do it and obtain different kinda result - I always play around a lot and try and change the order of what I do first, just to see what kinda outcome you'd get (with different varnish, paint and pigments etc - different product = different outcome)
Normally, this is what I do.
3 varnish (vallejo satin varnish)
(matte varnish = more texture = more stain)
(satin varnish = somewhere in the middle)
(gloss varnish = smooth = less stain, wash will flow better to crevices)
2 wash with diluted oil paint. You can dilute this as much as you want. If you want heavy stain then dilute less.
3 Add pigments, I use vallejo rust/mud set, but in this video it was mainly burnt umber oil paint that was the most obvious
4 for streaks, I added undiluted oil paint around the rivets and chipped parts (you can play around with different colors too, some people use multiple colors to create a discoloration effect, quite cool) then, using a large brush loaded with some turp, stroke vertically or in whatever direction you like - repeat until the streaks are nicely blended.
Of course if you have time on your hands, you can varnish and repeat these procedures. Remember that each time you apply turp on unvarnished surface, it'll wash out the previous layer of your paint, so if you want to work in layers, don't forget to varnish.
For the paints, I recommend Windsor&newton stuff. I bought the small oil paint pack with most primary colors and they're really strong. I also have a large tube of W&S burnt umber: the most useful color IMHO
Albeitlung 502 is also awesome = less stain when used for washing, I bought Black/Blue/Red/Yellow just so that I can mix various colors by myself. What I find though is that other than black, other colors are quite dull compared with W&S, I assume it's because it's meant for scalemodel applications so the pigments aren't so vibrantly coloured - please correct me if I'm wrong about this.
Infected mushroom = awesome.
Hope this is helpful - will make a better tut soon when I can manage to
Cheers
