Hip-hop-o-pot-o-mus posted:So I put like 4 hours into a croak hunter yesterday, had him looking mighty fine. I always wait overnight to let the paint set up before I brush on Model Masters Flat Clear Acryl. Started brushing and the poo poo just grabs the enchanted blue highlights on the model and spreads it over the entire goddamn fig. Yes I should have been paying attention rather then watching trailer park boys on netflix but goddamn it. The feeling of defeat is all encompassing. It's the Acryl. I have a bottle too and it did the same thing to me a few years ago. I haven't touched it since.

I have some green and OD green flecking but I don't really like it. I think I am going to have to get some sand and see how it goes. Also as this was initially inspired by X-Com I'd like to paint up some psychic power armor dudes to go along with them(Grey Knights) Think they would look good in this color scheme? Also more fotos

Dominion posted:If it was overnight it definitely wasn't the paint. Was it the same brush you had used for the highlights? If so you probably got some paint and varnish mixed in the brush and so brushed blue paint plus varnish all over the model. Nah it's a brush I just use for varnish.

Pierzak posted:Yes you have. Drill your barrels. Table quality minis for my weekly games is good enough for me when I am talking over 100 models. I'd rather have 100 ok painted models with an easy color scheme then 20 or 30 awesome/complicated models and 70 dudes just primed.  Maybe I'll take more care with some Grey Knights. But then maybe gently caress that I have warhams to play.

Here's a couple of simple questions. I'm making some custom bases to fit multiple Night Goblins, and some simple terrain pieces (sometimes together). As a material for the base itself, would plasticard be best, or could I use balsa wood? Also, what's a good way to build up the ground on them...How can I explain this... I need to build up the dirt and rocks, as some of what I'm envisioning will be quite high. Like building smaller hills for terrain. Given that I haven't even made hills, I'm not sure what method to use. I'm thinking that I can make the basic shape I'm going for with the foam, just a bit smaller, and then build onto that with turf, rocks/ballast, and flock? I'm not sure how this will work on such a smaller size. This will be a base with a modal cound of about a 6x6 or 8x8 20mm.

You can use cork as rocks/rubble, as well.

Jcam posted:Just started painting up some Tau dudes because A) They look really cool, and B) I guess I want to lose games...? Nice scheme you got going there. I agree that the battleworn look is more awesome than the bright, pristine colour schemes, but most hams don't go that way for whatever reason. The FWs look good, there's nothing major I'd change there, (maybe lose the yellow stripes on the rifles?) some more light on the pics might help. As for the battlesuit, I'd say you need to add some of whatever colour it is you're using for the FW armour to some of the panels to break up the browness. Also, more pictures please.

First figures ever I painted and I can already see a million things wrong with this bad barney pair. Going to redo the horns black, redo the metal collars, and paint the belts black. I am also going to consider going over the non-Sagat-scarred one with a different skin color. Maybe Hulk like LCB in the last image in this post. The grey splotches on the bottom is the rocks they are perched on.  I did the eye glow wrong. Also you can see the weirdest nipples ever I didn't realize the guy had until he was done.  Going back to redo that tail area, the buckles (which I just drybrushed with a metal paint), and wash the collar more. I am starting to paint this silly ol' bear and wanted his fur to be baby blue but turned out ultramarine with tons of white is still ultramarine.  I think I am still going with the color but would like to know anyone who has some advice on how to paint "fake" fur. Teddy is something that was stitched up and not alive. I was thinking dry brush with a turquiose+off white to highlight the fur a bit, put some ultramarine+black wash into the deep recesses (doing this bear took about 6 drop of paint to get into all those nooks and crannies for the base) and then highlight again with the same turqoise+off white with some semigloss added.

A couple of things for all you interesting people in this thread: As some of you may remember, I did the three-color prime on these Grey Knights, but being painted with silver, the worry would be that the highlights of the primer wouldn't show through. Thankfully, airbrushed on they show through wonderfully. Gun is a little dark on them, but I like that rich silver, and it will help to contrast to the actual paint I'll be putting down. A couple of zenith passes of Steel over Gun finished the job--I'll post pictures once I get them glossed for the next step. Additionally, I picked up a wet palette from a Blick Art Supply. It's reusable, and at $10 bucks it seemed like a good deal. I'll keep you all posted on how well it works.

Drumstick posted:Nice to hear it. Im still waiting on my paint to come in. My airbrush got here a few days ago. what colors did you prime with? Duplicolor Sandable Auto-Body Primer. Starting with black base coat all over, then a 45 degree spray of gray (which is hard to see on the black sadly, but the effect is readily apparent), followed by a strict, directly-above zenith spray of white. I went heavy with this to compensate for the lack of gray showing up on the black (which is fortunate as it made the gray stand out more). After that, basecoat in several thin passes of Vallejo Gun, then a strict zenith highlight of Steel in thin passes, making sure to not go too heavy. EDIT: PSI was set to just below 20 PSI to ensure control with the basecoat. Sole.Sushi fucked around with this message at 05:21 on Jan 25, 2012 |

I've been airbrush priming with a mix of 2ccs windex, 2ccs water, 4 ccs gesso, and enough drops of black to make it grey. At about 5psi, it comes out fine, but any higher and it gets spotty. Should I switch to a "real" airbrushable primer? Edit: VVV Oh, then I guess the question is- is there such a thing as a "real" airbrushable primer, or should I stick with what I'm doing?

I've been using Vallejo's surface primer. I bought all three colors to see which one I preferred. The white is glorious. I tried priming with white rattle cans and those never turned out very well. If you have an airbrush, try to find this stuff. If anyone is interested I'll post where I bought mine. I'm actually trying to get a handle on preshading. So far my efforts don't produce very good results, but I am playing around with PSI, thinning and such. I'll nail it eventually, probably on the last vehicle I turn out.

welp i just finished washing some 40 odd clanrats ive had sitting around half painted for god knows how long, and won a $26 tactical squad on ebay  (gently caress you aus gw $60 my power armoured rear end). i should finish the last 3 or so clanrats and start painting bases i suppose once these dry, not painted to any great standard but that's the only way i'm ever going to get a relatively finished skaven army, in it's second decade it really does need to be finished i think.got my eyes on more ebay things, i'm gonna paint me a bunch of salamanders real quick with an airbrush but i promise ill keep painting piles of slaves.. yes

I am a lazy gently caress and I cant do that. It was suggested that I add a touch of vinegar but it made my paint act weird. Made it turn chunky and gloppy.
