I actually have some of his Black 2.0 I picked up to experiment with. Not gotten around to anything yet but I have a couple of ideas. I was thinking it may work pretty well for 'living shadows' for RPG or KOW Nightstalkers, just get some cheap minis (as most of the detail will be invisible anyway) and paint them pure black 2.0 to make 'em look like voids in space.

Enola Gay-For-Pay posted:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/culturehustle/the-blackest-black-paint-in-the-world-black-30 I have backed it at the lowest tier; including shipping that's about $71 CAD for 150ml of paint. This is probably folly and I will probably withdraw my pledge later. Offhand, I can use it post-varnish to go in and reinforce a few of the dark parts of the cracking and weathering on regular black armor, to set those cracks off more from the surrounding black armor and make them look deeper. This is a stupid thing to spend seventy bucks on, though.

 Tried out some oil wash (though I probably used it thick enough to just be painting) on this escape pod that was red and washed with nuln oil already. Used lamp black to make the hull burned from fallin through atmosphere/crashing. Put most of the paint on the bottom end, then kind of streaked it towards the top with a brush. Couple questions about using oil paints: is the oil paint still mutable after it dries if I apply spirits to it? I seem to recall something about not putting acrylic over oil from a painting class, would that matter at miniature scale? And another thought: will probably just try this out, but oil over a matte surface- how would that turn out? Skails fucked around with this message at 20:10 on Jan 31, 2019 |

You can still work with the oil after it's dry by using spirit, but you get diminishing returns the longer you wait. I've worked with oil paint that was months old, and the results were interesting, but it took a lot of effort. You can paint over dry oils with an acrylic, I've done it, but typically I'll seal it in with a varnish first because I don't want to wait for it to dry. Finally, oil over gloss results in super smooth super easy capillary action, oil over matte results in handling that's more difficult to blend as it has more grip on the surface. Both have uses- experiment!

On the Stewart Semple paints: The Black 2.0 bottle I have is mcuh more gray than advertised. DOesn't look like the pictures at all, and more like a mildly black object that's covered in a layer of dust. The glow in the dark pigment I got was also pretty weak. Could be crappy quality control? On the plus side, the Black 2.0 has really great flow properties, however, and makes a fantastic primer. Also smells very nice.

Wait for it to hit his store proper, there's no way it's going to be that much.

As it's currently Ice Planet Hoth outside, I used the time indoors to finish up some Chaos Cultists for Necromunda. I think I went a little bit overboard on doing the rust on the bases, so for the next batch I'll tone it down a little. But it was fun experimenting with chalk pigments to try and get the bases looking all grimy and rusty.

Although I’m sure there’s some spectrum that goes JUST TAKES LONGER TO DRY > ACTIVELY GETS IN TNE WAY OF SPRAY DROPLETS As long as you have a decently large area in the house that small children and pets won’t be around, you don’t breathe the fumes while you’re spraying and you put a little fan up, I’ve not found it to be a problem. I think people freak out a little too much about it. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to get back in my iron lung.

Some aberrants and a hypermorph. I’m not sure what the sign the hypermorph is holding is supposed to represent but I assume it’s a future stop sign.

Finished up my goal for January just under the wire: Armiger Warglaive, 5x Sicarian Infiltrators, and 8x Crates.      Still not sure what will be my goal for February, as I've got a bunch of Adeptus Mechanicus sitting on spru. I might go for Kataphron Destroyers, as they are one of the few Admech units I don't have table-ready at the moment. On the other hand, I've got two Dragoons just calling out to me ...

So you can’t use primer inside, but you also can’t use it in freezing temperatures... hmm. I have discovered a slight setback.

Another option would be badger stylenrez (sp?) or Vallejo airbrush primer and a brush. Using brush on white primer can be a chore if you want paint white or very light colors - it won't go on evenly and you will still see streaks until you get enough layers of your base color down.

CapnAndy posted:So you can’t use primer inside, but you also can’t use it in freezing temperatures... hmm. I have discovered a slight setback. You can. There's just a trick to ensuring it doesn't all go wrong. Warm your mini up before and after priming, and GENTLY warm your can to room-ish temp. Also try to spray as close to the door as possible so you can be out and in asap. The main reason you "can't" use spray paints in super-cold weather is because they react badly to condensation (especially mattes, gently caress you matte varnish!). The best way to repel condensation is to warm your target surface and paint before and after, leaving as little time as possible between. Just don't overheat plastics, and don't go and put your rattlecan next to a fire or try to heat gun it. You can also make your can a little foam and fleece jacket that will help a little with the rapid cool down due to pressurised can physics.

I mean I do it in my basement without a mask and I haven't died yet. But also I never prime more than like 5 models at a time so it's usually pretty quick.

Yeah I've been doing the same over the winter months but I always make sure to turn on the table fan I specifically put there to clean out the air just a little bit. Not to mention regularly leave the room as I wait for the primer to dry. But I'm sure I got a little of Chaos Black rot in my lungs regardless by this point.

Yes, obviously don't hang around while they dry lol. I just go downstairs, spray my poo poo, go upstairs and play a round of KeyForge online then go get them. And that is just Nurgle's blessing on your lungs, you'll be fine. And as far as humidity goes, I thought humidity was only relevant if the temperature is >= the dew point? The only time I've ever had problems with priming was because I was simply holding the can too far away.

I've always been bad estimating the range so I probably just end up holding it too close in some cases. But it's been a while since I've managed to obscure details while priming so I guess I'm doing something right. Also yeah, I just wander around the basement floor for a couple of minutes while waiting for stuff to dry in the workshop. I have learned an important lesson though, using plastic trash bags for table cover is a bad idea because it doesn't soak up the dust and just leaves a thin black coating over it.

Unless you've got a decent spraybooth suited specifically to that purpose, don't use spraycans indoors. Even after the initial stink clears you've still got dangerous dust settling all over the space.

Yeah I primed with a rattle can inside a few times, even with a respirator, and the stink drafted into my second story and lingered for a day. I only do it outside now. That poo poo is def toxic and will mutate your children. I really dig your chevrons. Nice work.
