Falconator here from falconatorpainting.blogspot.com (I know creative title) and today I am going to share my recent experience with using oils to weather a Space Marine Predator.
I am in the process of rebuilding and painting my White Scars so I will be showing how I accomplished this weathering on a white base. I want to preface this tutorial / horror show with the following (this is my first attempt at using oil weathering, and the examples I had to learn from were not weathering white armor and this makes a difference.

I will finish off the tank in a future article so you can see how the oils play into the overall paint scheme on the tank. There is plenty of work left to do on this guy and you can catch the progress at my blog Falconator Painting, on my Facebook Page, or @falconatorpaint on twitter.
Ive done the same thing, though I spray the tank with future floor shine to help the oil paint flow better. Nice article, oils can be intimidating, I only gave them a shot this year.
Yeah, I liked it, too. I think oils will be the next skill set I will focus on. I really want to learn them, and this article made it look a lot easier to do and the results are sweet.
I will totally try the floor shine I bet that works like a champ.
