Love it! This one, too. I've been doing this off-and-on for a while. A few of my favorites:             I'm looking for better guns and stuff, rather than (poorly) scratch-building them out of beads and such, but I'm having fun with them! =)

My son has been playing since 5 (he is 6 now). He even paints his own mans... Badly.. has his own paints. He asked for the gw project box for his birthday /swoon. I know it is over priced. But he really wanted it so he has something to break out and paint next to me. Good times!

  Dunecrawler is about 95% done. Still need to gloss-cote the glass pieces and lacquer the whole thing. But I'm really digging how it turned out. His weapon is entirely magnetized, so I can swap it out with his 3 other variations. I even magnetized the pilot's head, so I can swivel it about or swap it out. Now to start the second Dunecrawler I have. And the two Warglaives. And a Tech Priest. And the 20 Skitarii. And Belisarius Cawl... Duct Tape fucked around with this message at 09:34 on Apr 25, 2018 |

Man these Metal n' Alchemy paints are absolutely loving gorgeous. Picked up the copper set and they're worth the cost and the hype. Haven't even put anything down except a layer of the Decayed Metal colour and it looks 10 times better than the GW tin bitz I used on the first killa kan.

I was just on that site this morning contemplating buying all dem paints. My wife would give me the evil eye if I went from [current absurd number of paints] to [current absurd number of paints]+150. [current absurd number of paints] is at least 300.

Man, it's super frustrating trying to find this sweet spot between "unthinned paint that I can't move around at all" and "Woops, now it's a wash that just wicks everywhere as soon as I get the brush anywhere near the model" Specifically talking about putting bronze trim on my 'zerker armor. Of the two shades of red I got, Reaper's Bloody Red is WAY too dark, almost a mahogany, so I'm using the Carnage Red and I guess Ill have to mix it with some white to highlight?. I'm using Reaper's Ancient Bronze, which gets a really strange almost pinkish color when I thin it, but it dries just fine. Also, Mrs. Bad Guy insisted on getting some trash-tier brushes (a set of three for 4 dollars, lol) for me to learn with, despite "but honey, the internet mans say good brushes are really important!" so that's probably not helping. I definitely want to make a wet pallet, the small amount of paint I'm working with at a time dries out really fast. Sorry for the lovely cellphone pic.  I'm expecting/hoping that once I'm done with the actual colors, some sepia wash will help things pop. Science!

Mixing red with white makes pink. Mix in some bright orange, instead.

Can you put up a picture when you're about done, and can you say how they compare to the Vallejo Metal Colors?

Well I'm still an amateur and not a fantastic painter by any means and don't have any of the VMC to compare it to but I sat and painted a bit today. My crappy phone camera probably doesn't do them justice but they have great coverage and really fine mica really makes them pop.    e: better pics

You just need a disposable tupperware-style container with as flat a bottom as you can get. When highlighting with red, you'll want to add a brighter orange or yellow instead of pure white. White + red = pink, so it can look weird on that type of bad-guy blood red armor. The resolution on that pic is a little low, but from what I can tell the color looks very even and no details are clogged by too thick paint. You'll be happy after the wash!

So with these Reaper paints in the dropper bottles, after I squeeze out a few drops to use, it seems like as much if not more paint continues to bubble out once I set the bottle down. The Pure Black in particular is super thick out of the bottle and it just oozes out forever. Looks like Hexxus from Fern Gully. Am I managing to do something as simple as squeezing paint of a bottle wrong?

When I let go the air that came out first makes enough of a vacuum to pull the now-at-the-top paint back in instead of it bubbling and annoying me.

Which one should I get? Main use will be magnetizing plastic/resin models. It seems dumb to get the tiny thing that is more expensive, but I've read dremels can melt the plastic if they are too strong?
