Test fitting some decals. I need to get smaller ones since the smallest I have right now are about this size. I initially got 1/25-1/10 decals so I could have large decals of characters for the larger ships but it's at the cost of having larger decals as well. Then again, I don't know how smaller they get since these ships are only about 1.25" long. Maybe decals for penny racers exist?

I just meant those two manufacturers tend to have wider ships with central cockpit and side fins where Feisar is just a line.

It seems to be a rule that any sci-fi racing sport have at least one contender with a ship named Pirhana, I would not tempt bad juju by deviating

Has anyone ever ordered from Arcane Miniatures before? Also, does anyone know if Enigma Miniatures are still making poo poo? I put an order in (I hope) with Arcane a few days ago and haven't received any email from them. I sent a follow up email yesterday and still, nothing. =(

mango sentinel posted:How crap is this compressor? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001TO578Q Get a compressor with a tank - you won't have to deal with constant running, and the tank helps to regulate the air a bit by eliminating pulsing. You can get a Master compressor, with tank, for like $30 more. If you're just starting out, that brush is a decent beginner's airbrush, without having to spend an additional $70. berzerkmonkey fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Nov 30, 2016 |

What's the best source for painters tape for hazard stripes? The local hardware stores only carry much larger sizes and though I was able to find painters tape for cars online they want almost as much to ship the stuff as they're charging for the product itself. The local Michaels/Joanns don't have them either.

Short of trimming down normal painters tape with a ruler and xacto, Tamiya sells 2mm, 3mm, and 5mm tape.

From previous posts in this thread the trick is to first paint over the area you're masking for with the base color, so the paint that wicks under the tape is the same color as the base. Then you paint over the unmasked area again with the new color and remove the tape. I dunno what kind of tape is best for this though.

Right now I'll just focus on not needing to use it very much, but if I do stripes in the future I'll be sure to remember this.

Any suggestions for fantasy models ranging from 3-6" in height and ideally won't break the bank? I've been digging through stuff from just whatever game systems are linked on the various mini-selling websites, but most stuff is all 25-30mm scale. Basically no smaller than Privateer Press heavy warjacks / beasts... except I don't want to paint any of their stuff.

Yeaa I've just been grabbing random larger Reapner Bones stuff off the shelf at the local store, but I kind of want to move onto something with better detail. Just finished up painting a Frost Giant that's basically the perfect size, but as I start to get better at painting the lack of model quality is making me sad

If you want to get even bigger than that you're looking at unpainted Japanese resin anime kits.

It doesn't need to be humanoid, I just played Warmahordes for years and don't want to buy/ paint stuff I've previously owned  Some of that scale75 stuff looks rad though, I'll have to check it out when I'm at my actual computer instead of mobile though.

Almost done with these guys. Cleaned up some lines, added better definition, and painted a reflection on the black Tron to make it more visually interesting (assaults the eyes). The one thing I hate is not uniformly adding black to ships gives it the glare from the overhead lights. This might actually get me to invest some time in making a cheap photo box so my models can look like some of those ~pro-painted~ ones, but I'm not trying to sell to anyone so eh. Anyway, once I add gloss and matte varnishes to them, they should disappear. Still not sure if I'm going to add sponsorship decals to them, but at the least I might use the Tau's artsy squadron circles on the watercolor ship's large purple fields to break it up.  I'm still on an 80s synthpop painting streak. I must paint a chrome ship like this before I'm done with this obsession.

You should experiment with gloss black if you're going for that style; its more finnicky to get evenly, but it looks crazy good with neon accents. Also already been said, but those look pretty great

Will that have a different finish from just painting matte black and applying a gloss coat?

Chill la Chill posted:Will that have a different finish from just painting matte black and applying a gloss coat? Generally, you'll have a better finish starting from gloss than converting matte paint, since the paint will be smoother and contribute to the sheen (whereas glosscoated matte puts the shine above the textured surface). If you dont have an airbrush you can handbrush Testors' enamels with some thinning. Just dont hand brush with the Model Masters line, that gets wonky. Not saying you should do it to this one, just something to consider if your black-neon kick isn't sated afterwards

Because i hate money i started a small Dropzone commander Shaltari Army, and decided to follow their "stock" paint scheme. This is tamiya model air yellow, and the orangey bit is citadel bloodletter glaze. I'm sort of looking for a more reddish/orangeish wash and i'd like some suggestions! also because the glaze doesn't leave any shadows as a wash does.

I need a recommendation for a very fine silver(ish) paint that I can use as a base for my 6mm Epic stuff. I'm looking to do Alpha Legion, and, since there will be multiple layers, I've got to do very fine coats that still cover well. This can be airbrush or rattlecan. I have tried the Testors silver, and while it looks good, it was way too smooth and didn't have enough tooth for subsequent layers to grab onto.

Check out Citadel Air Ironbreaker, it's what i used for all my scourge and they came out very nice!  when a wash grips nicely, you know it's good.

Testors silver would look too nice and clean for 40k anyways, but if you ever do want that smooth look Tamiya clear colors are alcohol-based acrylics which will grip to it (at least to Chrome Silver, Testors has a lot of metallic variations). They aren't expensive, and on top of other acrylics it also achieves a wet look that is great for blood and slime effects
