It's just where you are very precise with where the wash goes, such as on panel lines or around small detailed parts. Unlike the Flory type washes where you cover the whole model then wipe off the excess. In this case I'm using heavily thinner oils which are easy to manipulate.

Starting on the oil pin wash, first time trying this on a metallic surface so might not look great #histscalemodels

Finished the Biber as my contribution to a group build on the other place. I've got an M3 Stuart on the go but I think I need to get back to my safe place and get an aircraft on the bench #HistScaleModels

Not being a figure painter I'm quite happy with how one of these turned out, even if one looks sad and the other startled #HistScaleModels

Not my finest work but it looks good against the blue sky so it's not all bad #HistScaleModels

I don't normally bother with 1/72 pilot figures, especially when the instructions call for their oxygen masks to be removed, but you can't have a Blue Angel F-18 without a Blue Angel pilot. #HistScaleModels

Next on the bench, this 1/35 midget submarine. #HistScaleModels This sub is so small even the real thing looks like a toy. www.ianclarkrestoration.com/158/RNSM-Bib...

Rubicon Kingtiger finished. My first 1/56, an interesting and enjoyable kit but I'm looking forward to something a little bigger next. #HistScaleModels
