I am a 100% convinced this Minitaire "Flat Coat" is actually Gloss. This model might as well be made out of glass after spraying it with this thing.

Not the same thing, but the brush-on stuff I have settles something fierce and literally requires a full 20 minutes of shaking (the bottle has no agitator, but still) before it has been mixed enough to be matte.

Had ago at painting some OSL, I was going to do it on my Plasma Cannon/Gun guys but I'm not sure I can make it look convincing enough to bother ruining the base colours.



Um... that's... loving rad, dude.

Go paint up some Corvus Belli models Gaylord, those are beautiful and I love seeing Infinity minis done justice. A sculpt with Ajax the Great. :allears:

As someone who is painting Ajax this month, I beg you please do not do this.

So I was painting a female character's skin. I decided to try out the Reaper Fair Skin Triad. Its really my first attempt at painting either human or female skin. So I don't know how much of this issue can be put on me, and how much can be put on Reaper. But...it seems like the differences between the paints is fairly slight. So when I do the face, the shadows, mids, and highlights are really almost the same. Is this because of the paint or because I'm a goon with mediocre painting skills.

The dude on the left in the post above yours was done with the same triad and a bit of sepia wash around the edges. It's a pretty narrow spectrum, and I often will use something in the tanned or ruddy range to do deeper shadows, but I like the fair skin group.

Ok, its not just me, then. I wonder if I can still paint on it and have things work out alright or if I need to reprime. ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT!

Kinda this. Wanna see you darken that black. Photograph wise, you're doing fine. It may look different in person, but what you've shot looks great. If anything, note your camera settings and run with it.

And if you can figure out where they're from please tell me. All I know is that they showed up on this tumblr and I want them. They may be the historical "Goat Riders." I just don't know.

So this is my WIP for the oath thread:



I was wondering how to go about doing some black lettering on the book. Do you just use a really fine brush, some kind of paint pen, etc? Or do I just need to lay off the coffee for an afternoon so I'm not shaky when I try to freehand it with a small brush?

Grab a set of Sakura Micron pens and just write on there. Other companies also make pens of comparable size, but Sakura gets the most love around these parts, usually.
