Oils are one of the most versatile types of paint, offering a wide variety of painting and weathering effects for scale modelling. However, many modellers find them mysterious, often knowing only specific techniques or considering them exclusive to Fine Arts.

Oil paints provide numerous advantages for recreating various effects. Their slower drying time and finely ground pigment allow for the creation of color gradations, stains, and various dirt effects on vehicles and figures. However, regular artist oils have disadvantages when applied to modelling, as they are designed for absorbent canvas substrates, not scale models.

At AMMO, we have developed a special type of oils called Oilbrushers, specifically improved and adapted for scale modelling. These feature less oil and a faster drying time. Unlike other modelling brands that use regular artist oils in different containers, Oilbrushers are formulated to achieve the best results on your models while saving considerable time.

In this book, we will showcase the wide range of effects that can be achieved with oils in general and Oilbrushers in particular, on all types of models, from tanks and aircraft to figures and dioramas. You will learn how to apply common techniques such as blending, highlighting, and shading, as well as discover many other techniques that can be combined with standard enamel and acrylic methods.

Our team of master modellers will reveal all the secrets of painting with oils across more than 100 pages in a pleasant and easy-to-follow style, featuring numerous high-quality photos and step-by-step processes. This guide is undoubtedly the essential compilation you need to master oil paints, a crucial product in today’s modelling scene.
