I paint out of the pot sometimes, but I am not really an awesome painter. More of a 'get it done' painter. It's cool Fix, we can be pot-painter bros!

Fyrbrand posted:Man how the hell did I forget Frostbite? Another awesome color. I hadn't considered it for Marines but yeah it sounds great for painting iconography and stuff on them. Yeah, Shadow Grey as the base, then Frostbite as the highlight and morrow/skull white for the edges works a treat.

Also came to post this. Holy poo poo the blends on the monoliths.  Whole army is cool but that in particular stuck out.

I didn't like the idea of doing the same camo as every other WWII  How do I make those yellow stripes cleaner? I tried using a fairly large brush at first before switching to a smaller one and I think the bigger brush gave me better results (the green on the background tank was painted using the big brush). Also I'm thinking of not using yellow even though it seems to be a commonly used color for German Armor. Edit: its 15mm and from a "standing over the table" viewpoint it looks good.

Paint the yellow first and then fill in with the green? Then there's always this method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKxwsKoDCwE

If you aren't willing to shell out big money for one of the bigger vallejo game colour sets, try shopping around on ebay for 20 pot deals, particularly out of the UK. Even with shipping, I was able to get 20 pots of my choosing for about $60, which is an absolute steal compared to GW paints.

I can undercoat the model with the bright color, then use the putty where I want the yellow lines and then alternate the brown and green between them.

I finally got around to getting a co2 cannister and regulator for my airbrush. Welding guy treated it like he was working with high explosives. Wasn't sure if the airbrush hose would hold or something. Kind of funny. One thing I never bothered with when using the compressor (or even know how to adjust) was the psi. What's the suggested psi for airbrushing? I'm guessing somewhere around 12-15 psi for most work?

Actually I wouldn't make them much cleaner. It might be not as pleasing to the eye as a spray painted camo, but during the war a lot of times the German tank crews just got a bucket of paint and a broom.

Painting genius thread, I would appreciate it if anyone could take a guess at how the red/black marbling effect was achieved on the armour plates of this model: It looks awesome and I would like to replicate it, but I don't know how. I figure it might have something to do with washes, but even then I'm not sure exactly how.

Then going over that with highlights.

It almost looks like they've stippled babdab black over the red. Then as chet said re did the highlighting.

If anyone wants to read a long rambling post where I obsess about color choices that ultimately don't mean poo poo, I've just contributed to my friend's painting/gaming blog smurfs in space. He posts his pretty sweet Ultramarines as he paints them, and I post about anything but Ultramarines.
