I was scrolling quickly down the page and thought I saw a rainbow. That is a bright and somewhat horrifying miniature.

Probably my favourite thing on that, aside from the colour pallet, is the repeated use of baking soda to do all sorts of things from rust to algae. If you're interested in how it was made, part one starts here: http://sproketsmallworld.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/project-nurgle-part-1-gutrot-spume.html An excellent series of posts on how you make a golden demon winner. 300 hours went into that.

It's basically thinking "down" rather than "up" with placement of layers. You're working from a light base and then down, applying thinned paint in select locations. I've been experimenting with it lately on some personal projects and I like how it's coming out for stuff like skin tones and worn, old metal. Clothing, not so much, but with enough practice I think I'll get the hang of it.

Cross posting from the oath thread Finished my first model since my illness and all painted with the left hand. Fairly pleased with it considering although the shield rim/boss looks a tad sloppy, but it was pretty hard to do and Ive always hated doing shields. Definitely inspired to do some more now.

I know I read an answer to this somewhere already, but can't for the life of my find it now: When varnishing ( Testor's glosscote/dullcote on top of Vallejo), do I need to wait a full 24 hours between each coat? How does 1 coat of gloss, 2 matte sound for durability?

Long time no see, painting thread. I'm painting a Baneblade and wanted to give it a camo paint job. I'm struggling to find good reference models that aren't winter camo tanks. If any of you lovely people could post or direct me towards well painted tanks with camo paint schemes I would be grateful. This is the last thing I painted well over a year ago so I'm going off in a whole new direction.  camo camo camo

Hauki posted:I know I read an answer to this somewhere already, but can't for the life of my find it now: Touch dry is fine. I routinely finish my varnishing process in 30 mins to 1 hour. I would advise more gloss coats and less matte. Gloss is more hard wearing. Use the minimum amount of matte as too much will start to turn your miniature white. Gloss doesn't do this. 2-3 coats gloss and 1 of matte is what I normally do. BULBASAUR posted:This is a really amazing mini. I don't like this style, but that doesn't take away anything from how good the technique is. I have to agree. Its technically an amazing execution but the colour composition makes it look like the guy just plundered a rainbow paint factory.

Hauki posted:Cool, thanks. Was going to edit to say - use the minimum amount required to get the matte effect. If the miniature still looks semi-gloss/satin you can afford to hit it some more. The white discoloration comes from the mattifying properties of the spray.

Recently i've been moving more towards starting from a midtone and working up and then glazing the shadows in and I really like the results there, but when i've tried to do pure glaze style painting its come out rather ragged.

Well, knowing how it's done and actually doing it are entirely different things. Glazes are tricky, and I'm finding it just easier to water the paint down on a wet pallet instead of using a glazing medium and treating it not unlike water colors, using thin layers so it doesn't pool. Your idea works super well though.

This a hundred times over, most of my best blends have come from simply thinning my paints down and applying them in very thin layers.

Are you sure that's a minis case? Looks more like a generic transport-fragile-stuff-in-foam case to me.

More weekly painting:  Rosie, Chonotechnician from the Reaper line. I based the color scheme on Winry Rockbell, from Full Metal Alchemist. Considering I'm also going to paint a Gretha Female Sniper like Yoko Littner from Gurren Laggen, and both are going to be in the Raider faction, I think I've inadvertently come up with a neat squad theme.

So not to offend people, link only to my finished Kingdom Death Wet Nurse https://goo.gl/photos/EfRKykbPjkvbopox8 I was happy with the result as it was also my first mini that I have ever airbrushed (did all the priming and pre-shading using it). I have the boxed game on the way, and thus lots of minis, with a lot less boobs on display.

 first time painter alert Welp, finally finished painting my first few guys today, they've been hanging around for a few days in need of the final gloss touch-ups on the shiny bits. Lay it on me goons, how lovely is my shading? How thick & gloppy is my paint? Any other suggestions?     I felt like I was having a lot of trouble getting the layers to blend well on the red. I tried to follow the zenithal shading thing in the OP, but after washing everything red I wasn't really sure what to do next and just kinda ended up doing a standard base coat, wash, paint in highlights. I don't think the way I primed made any difference in the end with how many layers of shade & highlights I ended up putting on in an attempt to even out the gradation. As for the droids, I wanted the red on the one set of lenses to help distinguish it as the elite version, but in retrospect leaving the basic unit's lenses black just... doesn't give much contrast or a focal point, no matter how glossy they are. I also wasn't sure how else to distinguish the elite royal guard vs. the basic royal guard, so I just painted the rims of the bases red for now. I'm planning on ultimately rebasing everything on to clear acrylic so they blend in with each of the various tilesets, so I'll need to find some other way to set them apart visually. I didn't bother including the basic ones, but it's currently the same paint job just with solid grey bases. edit: also, I was trying to add some chipping/weathering with a bright silver on the droids, and it just... doesn't register at all really.

dr_ether posted:So not to offend people, link only to my finished Kingdom Death Wet Nurse https://goo.gl/photos/EfRKykbPjkvbopox8 Nice body horror monster. An honest criticism; work on getting those mold lines off, and your blending (while still better than mine) could use some subtlety, it is fairly harsh right now and the whole thing would improve if the transition between colours was softer.
