ijyt posted:In built lights seem like a cumbersome thing to detach and put away, I get plenty of light from a 11w daylight bulb just over the hood. I just received one with the LED option. It's a pretty simple setup with three pieces: two angled for the sides and a straight across the top. They have barrel plugs that go into matching sockets on the filter bezel and the top likewise is powered through one of the sides. Only issue I ran into was one of the side bars doesn't get a good power connection if I have it hooked to the top of the hood (keeps the plug from inserting far enough) so that one just isn't clipped on. Quite bright and clean white light output.

Has anyone used this Krylon gloss varnish for the 1-2 sealing combo?

Hello painting thread, I've done something possibly stupid tonight and I want opinions on it before I go further. Please be brutally honest. After seeing someone do it to a Storm Raven, I've decided to try and mimic the light green interior of a modern IFV in a Rhino. Real life reference:  My interior as of now:   I'm going to seal it, give it a grey/black pin wash, foam chip it and then work a lot of pigment into the floor and access ramp.

How do people get a clean/smooth coat of paint on large flat surfaces with a brush? i'm practicing on a munitorum container and I'm seeing some grit embedded in my paint once dry. I don't care much for something I'm going to try weathering effects on but this would be a pain on a vehicle for example :/

Alternating the direction of the strokes between layers helps a bunch too.

Hey thanks everyone for the feedback- my main concern is this- I have no viable windows to feed the hose out of. If I were to hook up the fan's extractor hose to my dryer vent line, I should be OK with the other precautions? I'm mainly worried about particles collecting around the rest of the house.

I don't even hook the hose up, I just point it in the general direction of the open door, with the screen door closed. I assumed I'd see a build up of paint where the fan blows particles through the screen to the outside but nope. Turns out just about everything gets trapped in the filter, certainly anything I could ever see. What I'm saying is yeah, that should be fine.

Like bonds, I haven't had an issue. I have a window open in the same room but the exhaust isn't even pointed at it, goes in the back of my painting desk/hutch. I wear a mask and that's it. Obviously all bets are off if you're spraying anything other than water based acrylics that might have actual fumes.

HerrBrau posted:Finally started work on some of my 40k Death Guard mans. Here's one in progress with more than just base coat for the skin. The buboes are modeled after what you see with the bubonic plague. The spikes are bone. I'm thinking a standard fleshy pink for the worm/tentacle things. The eyes are black with gloss medium, so they look wet and soulless. Slipped a bit on the right one, but... progress. In the thumbnail, he looks like he's grinning and hiking up his pants like a proud farmer talking about his prize-winning livestock

Finished this wolf earlier today, thought I'd post it because I really like how that eye turned out. I especially love how the black in the middle reflects the light. Wish my crappy phone camera could get it more in focus. The other eye though... Somewhere along the way, I guess too much paint built up around it, I couldn't get the wash to bring out the details right like with the other one, and couldn't get it to match or look anywhere decent. So I decided to just scar him up, thus...  Not going to cooperate? You lose an eye! Let that be a lesson to any other miniatures. Don't really like how the fur looks matted or whatever in the front. I probably just overdid it with the dry-brushing, but it seems to look worse than it did before I sealed it, wonder if I did the spray unevenly or in the wrong temperature/humidity conditions or something. Then again, I seem to have troubles with fur looking matted or caked with mud anyways, so it's just something I need to work on (I'm fine with how the rest of the fur looks on this one, though).

Duncan's WarhammerTV painting guide for the Putrid Blightkings has a neat method of doing rotten horns - essentially it's successive layers of thinned Seraphim Sepia / Agrax Earthshade moving gradually toward the tip. video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy7AoKAywHk

If you like the way that eye is reflecting the light, something else you can do is put a tiny dot of white somewhere on that eye. Make it so it always has that sort of "reflective" look. Can be easy to overdo though :p

Kabuki Shipoopi posted:A guy at my FLGS just shouted, who wants a ghetto demon prince? And this is what he gave me: It's salvageable. It'll probably never be pretty, but you can definitely make it look better than it does now. First, you'll probably want to file down the greenstuff. Then you'll want to either sculpt something cool over where the blob was, or else find some chaos bits that won't look too out of place to glue over it. A hull panel, say, with chaos symbols. Greenstuff a slightly better join with the head to the body. Fill in the cracks. It'll still look kind of awful, but hopefully in a more "unholy mutation" way instead of... what you have. I'd even be tempted to add on a few tentacles or the like bursting out of it.

Kabuki Shipoopi posted:A guy at my FLGS just shouted, who wants a ghetto demon prince? And this is what he gave me: In my experience when soaking models in super clean engine degreaser, green stuff became very brittle and was easy to break apart if you let it soak long enough and we're aggressive about scrubbing at the green stuff. Alternatively I have had green stuff survive a dipping in super clean engine Degreaser but mostly because I did it for a minimal amount of time and was gentle about scrubbing after I was done. Admittedly the green stuff that came to bits may have just been a bad example, perhaps the guy who added the green stuff didn't get the mixture correct? I have no idea. But that's my experience with green stuff and getting it off of models.

Big Ink posted:Throw it in some simple green. It's always stripped paint and melted green stuff, whether I wanted it to or not. Yeah do this, just immerse it in simple green for a day or two and the green stuff should just melt/peel right off. That might also take some of the primer off which hey that'd be nice. Maybe even loosen it up a bit to take some of those conversion bits off (if you want) Then just prime it and paint it over as best as you can, maybe add your own greenstuff to cover up the weird changes.
