I've been painting Chan Lee from Hell Dorado and I'm pretty happy with how I've gotten his flesh, but I'm having real trouble with the red pants. I need some pointers on making the red really pop. Here's a w.i.p shot: Nothing really finished yet, so if you have some advice on the flesh as well I'd like to hear it  Also here's a size comparison for fun

And I was considering painting the belt yellow, but that's probably just as hard to paint. If I can't get the red working I might still give it a try.

Feeple posted:Anyone know of a web retailer who can sell me some Hell Dorado models? All I can find is poo poo in French, and I went to Japanese class instead at school. I picked up all my Hell Dorado minis from http://www.maelstromgames.co.uk/ I've made about 8 different orders with them and never had any trouble. Make sure you order Kartikeya if you get any, I just got him the other day and he is one of the best models I've ever seen.     edit: here's another store selling em, never purchased through these guys though http://www.fantization.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=277 Also those smog 1888 minis are hot as hell, are they resin?

The Saddest Robot posted:This is probably the best painted mini I've see. Got any info on the painter and the model? The model is Ar-Fienel from Studio McVey, it comes out this friday. I'm not sure who painted it but I'm pretty certain it was either Ali or Mike McVey.

Ah hell, you're right. Even if it ends up looking like poo poo I'll learn a lot and I've got no motivation at the moment to paint another box of identical dudes. I think I'll give this guy a shot. Being white metal means I can strip him no problems right? I'll even make a project of it and post wip shots in here bugging you guys for help

crime fighting hog posted:Tried my first crack at wet blending, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. I saw videos of it done and it seems I'm either not using enough mixture on the paint or I'm gloping the mix on too much. How watery should the paint be when I use it? What kind of brush works best? What kind of motions do I make to mix it, horizontal or vertical? I NEED ANSWERS DAMNIT hey, this isn't wet blending but here's a blending tutorial that I've found really helpful, and here is another where he puts it to use.

I really like your stuff. Not a fan of most of those sculpts, Reaper figs don't really appeal to me. Still like what you've done with them though.

Tentacle Party, I recently bought these brushes and I'm really happy with them, and for $25au for two size 1s, two 0s and shipping the price is pretty great. You can get series 7s in australia from here but it would probably be cheaper to go with pv if you plan on doing a big order. Bullet Proof fucked around with this message at 02:48 on Jun 2, 2010 |

Since I finally got around to uploading the photos from my camera I thought I'd post up a review of the first 54mm miniature I bought. The model is Pegaso's XII-XIII Century Holy Land Knight. It's sculpted by Gianni La Rocca, is white metal and comes in 12 pieces. It cost me $50 australian and imo it's worth every cent. It comes in a neat little hardcover box like so:  When you open the box everything is nice and secure in foam padding, when I took the photo I left out the little fiddly bits and the sheet of paper you get giving you the Knights history, as well as different ways in which to paint him. Whoops  When assembling the model the thing I was most impressed with was the ease in which he fit together, there was minimal gap filling or filing needed. I pinned him in all of the joints but even when just dry fitting the parts would stick together due to how well the sockets fit. There were also very minimal mold lines, so for those of you that hate preparing models that's a big plus Here he is mostly assembled standing next to a chaos terminator. The base comes with the miniature  All in all it's a really nice model and if all Pegaso miniatures are as high a quality I would recommend them to anyone interested in giving 54mm or above a shot. I was impressed enough that I ordered this guy to have a stab at once I finish the knight.

Is it bad that I know who produces every single one of those models? If I was going to use one as a daemon prince I'd use astaroth by Andrea or the JAG demon. edit: enigma also has some models that would work well for daemon stand ins   and just because I really like the sculpt

Aranan posted:Has anyone tried "juicing" as a painting method as described in this article? I'm pretty sure someone linked to it early in in this thread's life, but I can't find the page it's on. Anyway, it sounds pretty interesting. It's kind of like layering, but instead of putting down successive layers of shading and highlights, you're putting down successive layers of the same color, but just doing it in steps with the color super thinned. So maybe one pass of Ice Blue on the highlight areas, then another pass on just the edges to make it stand out a little more. I've given it a couple tries and I really like the results but the only time I'd use it was for painting display models, I find it much too slow for batch models. Also I prefer this article by Seb for juicing as you can see him actually applying it.

An absolutely awesome way to make snow that I've seen done is to use Jo Sonja's Texture paste, and to just paint the paste on until you get a consistency you like. These bases were done using it:  Click here for the full 800x1996 image.  Click here for the full 500x1432 image. or if you're especially crazy you could try using the crushed lightbulb method

Are you thinking of this guy?  If so, it's from Mauser Earth which is, I think, a line of miniatures without any game rules attached to them.
