If you send it in for a service they’ll deep clean, fix and replace any worn out parts for pretty much the cost of parts and shipping, it’s great. I mail mine in once a year or so and I don’t think I’ve been billed more than $20 whenever I’ve done it.

Cool I've dropped them an email just waiting on a reply. Depends on how much it'll cost with shipping to and from the UK, it may not be too much more to just get a new brush

XXXposting  I'm so happy with how this guy is turning out. Can't wait to "finish" him tomorrow night and start adding some friends.  E: I also think this is the most metal thing I've ever painted.

So I want to do blue roses for the base for the Sister Superior and I want the layer paint to be Baharroth Blue just to make them pop like crazy. What would be a good process for that? Would a white base, green wash, Baharroth and then a white edge highlight work or am I completely off my rocker?

Also I am very down for Death Guard model schemes with bright accents and that radioactive green verdigris on that drone look noice, Mr. Teatime. How did you achieve those colors for the brass, plating and the greens? That's pretty close to what I wanted to do when I started painting again (oh godddd).

So I finally decided to paint something, so I grabbed a few contrast paints and the wraithbone primer spray and did this for my first effort in painting:  It’s an old pewter Ravener that I got for dirt cheap, so I figure I’d use it as a test. I kinda like the scheme, but my lovely brush control made it turn out bad overall. How do I paint the tiny details like the eyes and the under flesh, because goddamn that’s where things went horribly wrong. Also the poor lighting isn’t doing it any favors.

For small details brace your arm against something and go at it with something thin and form, if you press a soft brush tip to hard it'll spread out in a mess.

Hixson posted:Super cool Death Guard, man. The chipping on the contemptor looks great! Thanks! The contemptor was what prompted my questions about chipping medium, good thing its death guard otherwise that crazing on the white might have driven me mad. I guess I'll have to experiment with different brands, that was done with Vallejo and I have some AK stuff I've yet to try 🤔

I'm looking to strip the paint off a mini without hurting the superglue or polystyrene bits attached to it. (It's for Gaslands, which owns if you have not seen it.) I saw the suggestions of Simple Green, but looking at their website they have many different products. I assume they mean the generic All Purpose Cleaner?

Simple Green Pro HD is aluminum safe which might matter with items for more kit-boxy games like Gaslands. Although dunking superglue into any water solution for a long period can weaken its integrity.

So I tried to try to get non-lovely photos of these guys. Taken outside on a cloudy day, with a camera where I can actually manually mess with the F-stops, shutter speed, and ISO somewhat. Miniature photography is hard.    I know many of ya'll have lightboxes, but I see some photos here that are awesome with no lightboxes at all. Is there a secret I'm missing or do I just need to try harder?

It's really easy to make a lovely lightbox with a spare cardboard box, some printer paper and the same lights you use(or should be using) for painting.

A lightbox is just a very simple way to diffuse the light coming at your figure. You can get the same effect by diffusing the lights themselves, with diffusing covers, or even just diffusing the flash on the camera. Back in my early camera days, I diffused the light from the pop-up camera flash with a styrofoam cup placed over the flash. I diffuse the lights on my current setup with the cheap white cloth from the fabric store, and mount it over the lights with needlepoint hoops from the same place. Hell, you could diffuse lights with a piece of white paper held up in front of the light. Wanna go even cheaper than that? Wait until you get an overcast day, take your pics outside with instant cloud-diffused sunlight.
