@ dragon6 – what is a "pin wash" how does it differ from usual washes? Have a look at the video and you'll find out. |

@Dragon6: Basically, it means a "pin point" wash. So you apply it not over the whole figure or vehicle but just in select spots, like panel lines. |

Never heard the term, before, but the concept is as old as washes. Surprised to see this becoming a thing. Thanks, Extra Crispy, for clarifying what it is. I watched the video for a bit, but it wasn't obvious, to me, what "pin washing" was about -- it is an old concept, and this post seemed to suggest it was a new technique. Cheers! |

Sgt Slag : I don't consider myself the inventor of the pin wash and I am not sure where I listed it as a new concept in this post, I am typically careful to not suggest things are new unless I find something really different and special which is rare. I was using it on my airfix models and thinned down enamel paints in the 1970's so it's certainly a technique from the past. In fact many people still use the enamels with thinners rather than using oils because they are very reliable when thinned down. |

Sorry, inrepose, this is the first time I've heard of "Pin Wash," so I assumed it was a "new" technique. I came into the miniatures gaming hobby in the mid-90's. My first mini's I painted, were around 1981-2, using Testors enamel paints… Pretty bad stuff: no technique, no guides to learn by, no mentors. They were just plain ugly. It's a good technique, which I've seen used before. This, however, is the first time I've seen a name attached to it. Thanks for the history lesson on it, as well. I enjoy learning new (and old) painting techniques, and concepts. Thanks, also, for sharing its use with enamel paints. I never knew how to manipulate enamel paints. I just used them -- very badly, I must say… Cheers! |
