Got my large order of bases from Dragon Forge Design yesterday: The details and quality are fantastic. Now I just need to paint some minis to go on them. Also, I tried an oil wash for the first time today. If you've never tried this I highly recommend the $10 investment it takes to start. The results are awesome and the fact you can wipe the wash off even an hour after is so helpful.

I'm making a list but I'll be sure, also, to post here when I cast. Thanks, Saalkin, Fix, Dominion, adamantium|wang and nuncle jimbo. Actually, depending on the process and materials I'll try to make it as affordable as I can because it's not professional quality yet and I prefer to move more pieces for a low price than sell fewer expensive ones. In the meantime I thought it'll be a good idea to do a sculptural study in planning the next one. Sorry I'm not doing Walter or Donnie but I want someone without a beard so I can practice doing the mouth area. The 3-pack idea is pretty cool so I'll hang on to that one. It's not there yet but I'm on the right path. Very illuminating.

Fantastic stuff.

thespaceinvader posted:Oh, is THAT how you do the eyes? Actually it's not how I made the eyes on the miniatures but it's a very good technique because otherwise it's quite difficult to do a sphere. This head study is gigantic compared to the miniature. Up to now I've left a bit of an eye socket and then pushed and prodded the material to form a sort of eye "drawing" or line but I think I might try the sphere in socket technique next. I'm trying to figure out a way to work smart like in stages so it comes out with a good likeness. The sandals are short on purpose because they're small or he's wearing them wrong or something. Manifest - thank you. That sounds cool. bhsman also maybe Palmer Eldritch!

I made a lightbox! Also a Lord of Change.   I am paranoid that the one foot holding this model onto the base is going to come loose despite the pin. Then all the spindly metal will fall and break apart along with my heart. Red Shoe fucked around with this message at 21:39 on Apr 21, 2012 |

Step 1: get off the internet right now and watch The Big Lebowski. Step 2: avoid hurtful criticisms about your choices in life if anyone ever asks you if you've seen The Big Lebowski. Seriously though, it's a great movie, and if you're a fan of Nietzsche, you'll love it even more. Even if you hate Nietzsche or never heard of him, you'll still love it.

Can anybody recommend a good sealer? The paint keeps rubbing off my metal mini's from just handling them  . Never had this problem with resin.

I use Vallejo Game Color brush-on Gloss Coat, usually two coats of that for a hard shell. Once that's fully dry I follow that up with a quick spray of Testor's Dullcoat to take away the shine. If you ever notice your minis getting glossy in spots as you handle them, then you know you've rubbed off the Dullcoat and need to reapply.

You know, when I sat down to watch a commercially available video on how to paint miniatures, I really wasn't anticipating a lesson in how to shade the exposed breasts and panty crotches of ugly sculpts. But here I am.

I spent a half-hour working the buttocks on my Doombull, trying to get a really nice, subtle blend. When I came back the next day, it had all dried to one flat shade, so I had to paint his rear end all over again.

Asses don't seem so bad. I mean, you see asses all the time, usually covered by clothes. But carefully shading and highlighting a lovingly-sculpted cock would be horrifying.

Really nice. I love the barcode unit identifier. For a little content, the new 'orky' greens (Waagh Flesh, Warboss, Skarsnik) are great. Quick and simple progression to get a nice skin tone.

I too prefer the drabber, olive greens to the grass greens of Waaagh Flesh and co. I bought Death World Forest as a closest match base paint, but its lighter in shade than Knarloc. Castellan Green looks to be darker, but I didn't try that one yet. To share some other Green based experience, Elysian Green is kinda like the old Camo Green knocked down a shade. Straken Green is Knarloc Green is kinda washed out, like a Catachan Green mixed with bone. Loren forest isn't that far off the Knarloc shade, but its a layer rather than a base.

drat, my Warhammer stuff is collecting dust. Been so busy with other stuff and when I finally have time I am too tired to do anything productive. Need to get back into this. I have only played one game of Warhammer 40k kill team with a guy's Space Marines at the local store. The game itself was a lot of fun and I would like to have my own army but it takes time.. so much time.
