 Next X-Wing template test. Engraving the pattern instead of just masking it off looks so much better. The actual depth really makes it pop. Currently i'm looking at what gold to actually use but not all behave the same one backside of a clear piece as the front. Most Acrylics will look pretty similar but for example the edding metal lacquer pens produce a very nice and shiny finish on small surfaces but look quite crummy when you view the "underside" through the acrylic. I've heard good things about Vallejo Liquid Gold but since most people tend to be only concerned with the top side finish i i couldn't find any info on how they perform for this application. if someone who owns a bottle wants to do me a favour, could you brush some on a piece of transparent acrylic and report how the backside comes out?

Has anyone used crackle paint (like GW or vallejo's) on figures for cracking and peeling paint? If yes, how'd it go and how does it respond to being painted over? Looking back at 28mm figures it looks potentially interesting but also easy to gently caress up given the thickness.

Models should never be viewed up close and in perfect even light. It is unnatural, a fiction that brings only pain and misery.

I'm usually over in the mainstream modeling thread, and do big stuff, military kits and pop-culture garage-kits. I did get my hand on some minis for free though recently, and I thought I'd try my hand at the small stuff. I've really admired all the amazing stuff in this thread, so I thought I'd try my hand and have some fun. Right off the bat there was one of those pre-painted minis from D&D in the stash I got, so I thought I'd mess with that first. Nothing much, just some tweaks to punch up the shadows and worn metal effects, and add some grease and grime effects to the mech bits. Thought I'd start off easy before I dove into a paint from scratch.

I think my models look like rear end until they're like 90% done, so... I dunno, man. You're painting really tiny poo poo, but I think it all looks good.

Anyone know of a black paint that’s a close match to Forgeworld’s Corvus Black, soon to disappear forever? I’ve seen people say Scalecolor Decay Black is close, but that looks like, uh, an actual black, whereas Corvus Back is a very deep grey with slight blue tones.

This might sound lazy, but my hands are big and not quite surgeon-steady: Would a grey grease pencil for edge highlighting on black be a bad idea? Also, uh, do those exist? I've always wondered if there are alternatives to a brush. Something where a bit of added pressure won't throw my lines off.

They’re softer than regular coloured pencils. Should be able to pick up a pack of ten at any art supply store for cheap. (Have to seal it afterwards, but what else is new?)

If you're willing to try artists paints, Golden Acrylics makes a lighter black color called Bone Black. If you want something even lighter and bluer than that, try Paynes Gray.

I guess Vallejo Black Grey is the right value, but it’s also kinda neutral- to-warm while Corvus Black has blue in it. I wonder if I could approximate Corvus Black by picking up a bottle of Black Grey and adding a dollop or two of Night Haunter from that artisan pigment set I bought and never use.

Just built myself a light box and decided to take some WIP shots of my Khorney blood boys (The Rainbow Coalition of Murder) to test it out. I've already posted these two but I added more blood to make Kratos markings on the albino boy, which I think looks dope. They are now done aside from bases.      Here's the rest of the gang. Still need to do weapons and armor and touch up some spots on the skin with wash, but I'm super happy with how the skin tones came out.       C&C on the paint jobs and photos are welcome!

Primer question. I have some boardgame minis to paint and I need something that gives more resistance to wear & tear, especially if the minis are glorified pawns that will be stored loose, not in separate foam-lined inserts or anything. I need a spray can primer that "bites into" plastic for better adhesion and that's able to give me a very thin coat. Anything you can recommend? A good matte varnish with no frosting would be nice as well. Pierzak fucked around with this message at 14:57 on May 26, 2018 |

As I feared, Krylon is not sold here in Poland. Any alternatives available in the EU? Maybe it has a differend brand name here (I know Testor's is sold here as Model Master)?
