A Christmas Oil Wash
Sneaking in some hobby time on Christmas to apply an oil wash to the terrain board while the family naps.
The steps
Thin the oil down with mineral spirits and work it out and around rather than slapping it on everywhere.
Check for pooling as you go, especially in flat recesses.
Pull the excess off before it sets.
Let it dry properly. An oil wash takes far longer than it looks like it should.
Christmas Hobby Time
Quick one on Christmas. Finally getting this oil wash done. Mineral spirits are in here.
My cup’s too big to fit the brush in, so I got to be a little bit strategic. I don’t want to slap this everywhere because it’ll be very easy to make a mess with this. So we’re just going to be careful.
Working the Wash
Just working this out and around. And just like that, we’re going to be back into our actual earth and dirt tones.
I’m checking for any excessive pooling. Going to let this dry just a little bit.
Almost There
I’ve pulled the excess off and it’s still pretty wet. I think it’s going to be a little bit before I can actually show you the finished result.
But this is where we’re at today on Christmas—sneaking the hobby in while everybody is napping and winding down.
Merry Christmas to you guys. Hopefully my voice comes back soon. It’s been a brutal week, but thanks for being here. Merry Christmas again!
