Hello,

I've created and edited my first video about this hobby!. I wish improve the edition, all suggestions and criticisms are welcome! (and translation errors!!). I think I need to improve the grasp and approach.

Not bad at all! I think I will make this one sticky as we do not yet have a tutorial like it.

There are a couple of translations which I found a little confusing. Also, what is a 'Filter'?

[Braxandur]

Nice job! Clear video, which was good too follow and usefull as well.
As for comment, I'm now also wondering what filter is indeed a good question.

You can use rust instead of oxide. Then again, what you net with oxide was clear to me as well

Hello!

A Filter is a painting technique, similar to a wash. I use MIG productions filters, although it's too easy do it. You need oils and solvent (ej. turpentine). Mix both in 1/3 proportion (1 of oil / 3 of solvent). After, you must use a plane brush only wet (removes the excess on a paper), and apply brushstrokes in the same direction.
A wash is with 1:1 proportion (oil + solvent) and you must use a plane brush very soaked.

I hope you understand me!, anyway, ask me!.

Braxandur: I dont know the mean of "rust", I thought that rust = oxide :S!

After, you must use a plane brush only wet

Do you mean plain brush or a flat brush?

Other than that I am familiar with the enamel/turpentine wash technique.

Hello,

Plain I think. Like this:

[Hammers]

Hello,

Plain I think. Like this:

Ah... Um. Those are both plain (as in ordinary) and flat (as opposed to round brushes).

Perhaps this is not really important but since you've done such a thorough job on your tutorial I thought I'd ask.

[Heresy]

Thanks for the info Hammers, my english is too bad!

Nice job! I started using the sponge when I was 15, cause i couldn't afford an airbrush and I needed to paint tanks... this one was my first one... Dunno I choose this colour scheme, but i used completely the sponge, and the results was pretty good!

now I still use sponge, and my last work was the facade I am still making.
