Most Dremel and Dremel-esque knockoffs have a speed control so melting plastic shouldn't be too much of a concern.

That's what I use, and I've never had issues with it. I don't know if I'd want to use a Dremel or something for fear of drilling too deep.

Yeah a dremel is kind of overkill for plastic if you only want to drill. You're going to have more control with the pin vice.

A Dremel is a legit good tool to just have on hand around the house so go that way. $20 sounds sketchy though so I'm jump on a cheapish one with solid reviews on Amazon

It's better to use an electric screwdriver with a Chuck adapter. 200-300 rpm vs 6000rpm. Don't drill a hole in your thumbnail bed like me.

grassy gnoll posted:Thanks. That's a mighty fine coppery shade you have going there. For more examples, here's Maximus with the gold done to the Scale75 recipe, and the steel done with Cobalt Alchemy (the blue one);  The Scale75 metallics are a bit more liquid than the rest of their paints, nearly as much as the Vallejo Model Air metallics, and seem to go on even smoother just brushed on, although I've yet to try them in an airbrush. Really good coverage too - the gold base is just their Viking Gold over black primer, and it only took a couple of coats, whereas VMA tended to be a bit more trnasluscent.

Finished the leader of my Stealth team. F edge highlighting black. I am no good at it when I can't get that magical 45 degree angle. On another note, I am loving the hell out of the newer gloss agrax shade gw put out. It is talent in a bottle. Eventually I will go back in and add a glow effect to the barrell. But I am still learning subtle OSL and do not want to mess it up. Once I get better after practice on test models, I will come back to him. The eye glow was pure accident.

I'm considering spraying and painting my next set of Primaris intercessors on the sprues then assembling and doing touch-up work. Is this feasible and/or time-saving?

Do you care about your paint job? If not, go for it. If you do, however, you'll have to reprime and repair all of the spots where you trimmed the bits off the sprue, as well as any frosting that occurs from supergluing the pieces together. And don't forget about moldline removal - you can't do that with a painted model.

I probably spend at least an hour per model cleaning up flashing, gluing together subassemblies, drilling barrels, and doing all the prep work necessary to get things ready for priming. Even after priming I end up going back and doing touch-up on mold lines that I missed. Your "touch-up" phase would likely take twice as long. What has worked for me is to glue subassemblies onto pieces of sprue in places I won't see. Then I can airbrush and paint them separately before gluing it all together and doing final touch-ups. This seems to save time and work well.

With my latest Primaris intercessors, I removed the pieces, ran an xacto over the rough spots, smoothed out the moldlines. Then I assembled the models, primed, washed and painted. Spots that aren't visible were fine bc the averland sunset spray worked well as a yellow for shadowed areas anyway. I won't be winning any awards but my yellow is vastly improved since my first tacticals. I will probably in the future use the paint-in-parts method, as it can be annoying to try and reach a red brush into places and scrape a yellow spot and have to fix it. The issue I've had really is highlighting edges. I just don't know if I have the brush control to put it off. Are there maybe drybrush techniques that work?

I made a wet pallet, and it's super helpful! My favorite part of painting so far is constantly checking the box art to see what color every little goddamn thing on these fuckers is supposed to be. loving' 'zerkers and their bronze trim and rivets everywhere. I'm not slavishly following the box art, just seeing where to contrast things for the most visual distinction. Unfortunately things have been busy lately so I still haven't finished my first mini but I'm making progress! I'd like to think that with more experience it'll take a lot less time. I think I'm probably getting too hung up on details.

I've been having issues with masking tape. It always pulls up the layer it was stuck too. Not the whole thing, just a few spots. I've been using Tamiya masking tape and I've let the primer dry for days, put the base layer down and let it dry for days and I'm still having issues. Is there something simple I'm missing?

You can also repeatedly stick the masking tape to your pants leg or sweatshirt and remove it to get its tackiness down.
