This creates a whole new problem -- my Q-tips leave tiny fibers behind, and I have to go back over the model with tweezers to clean THAT up.

So, I'm wondering if there are better alternatives to Q-tips for cleaning up my oil wash.

Also, if I move to water color washes (I haven't had good luck with my thinner NOT cutting through multiple layers of varnish and acrylic paint -- almost every model I've washed has at least one spot where plastic is showing through (luckily, on all but one or two of them, it's been in the armpit or somewhere equally unnoticeable), will I have the same sticky problem?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548394/5985240.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548394/5985240.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548394/5985473.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548394/5985473.page GMT
Also make sure you varnish the model before you use oils on it to give some added protection.

Edit: We do have an oil paint article - I've not added anything regards cleaning up so please feel free to add anything you feel might be useful (ie potential problems, ways round them, etc).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548394/5985504.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548394/5985504.page GMT
