Tonight's 1hr painting challenge caused a hairdryer + wash + white work shirt incident, which made me a bit angry I also learned that Calth clear blue bled into watered down aethermatic blue and mixed with Ard Coat varnish makes for some enticing water.

Almost have my first fully completed models after almost 10 years away from the hobby. Been a slow process as I have been working on figuring out my wet blending and glazing, both of which I had barely tried back in the day. I'm happy with how most of it has turned out, though the horns feel incomplete and the reflections on the dagger feel off. I also have no clue what color to paint all the gemstones. Spoilered cause it's an oldschool Daemonette and maybe someone doesn't want to see demon boobs. Also god nothing makes you hate your paintjob like high resolution pictures of it. Need to get my lightbox set back up cause some of the color is getting washed out, especially on the skin.

Being an old White dude usually has me wonder what all the huff is about, but that mini helped me understand. I paint with with a 10x set of jewelers loupes and can see a hundred errors on them, fortunately once set down for a few days they look fine. But I know there are mistakes...

Can you use an airbrush with oil-based paints? My folks want to have the front door painted and an airbrush might be the best way to get an even coat, if it's compatible with the necessary paints.

I would not try to put house paint through your miniatures airbrush, that is asking for nightmare level clogs if it will even flow at all. Just use a paint roller and decent paint on a well sanded/primed door and you'll get a smooth coat just fine.

Technically there are airbrushes that can do that but they are totally different than miniature ones and have pistol grips and triggers and profoundly different nozzle sizes. You might be able to find something at a hardware store that you can use with your compressor for that application, though nfi what the PSI needed for home appliance painting is and if you have a compressor that can handle it.

I've been experimenting with AK True Metal on my scale models, and got around to trying it on a mini.  The short version is that this stuff is neat, but enough of a pain to work with that I can't recommend it in any general use case. Instead of dumping a ton of mica and aluminum flakes into alcohol or lacquer, the way the AK paint works is by having a wax base. You either scrub it on or brush it - you can use an air brush, but it's real easy to break the pigment. Once it's on, you buff it with a cotton swab or tissue or whatever else you've got that's soft and mildly absorbent. Once it's polished, the paint really does give a great metallic shine. It's not quite to the level of foil appliques or Molotow chroming, but it's pretty close. It's shiny enough that a gloss acrylic varnish will actually dull it back down. That's where the problems start - you can't put anything over the paint. Varnish dulls it, and leaving the paint uncovered but treating it with a wash seems to eat away at the coating with both oils and acrylics; you can see the mottling on the photo from the back around the arms. You definitely can't handle anything it's on for a significant period of time, or else the wax melts again and starts to rub off on whatever it's touching. If you're after a pitted chrome look, then this stuff is exactly what you're looking for. Anything beyond that, and I'd give it a pass.

For something like a door you want a HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) spray gun. That marble is fantastic!

I had a miniature 3d printed from a free .stl I found - fairly obscure combination of characteristics for this PC, total serendipity I stumbled across the file - and I'm commissioning a friend to paint it. But before I do, I'd like to know about customizing it a bit. I'd like to add a wrench or some other sci-fi looking tool to the hand, maybe a toolkit looking thing somewhere. But I have pretty much zero knowledge of minis and various related subjects because it's never really been a big part of the tables I've played at, and I'm having a hell of a time searching for little accessory kits or what have you because I don't really have the terminology for what I'm looking for. Can someone help me out with some appropriate keywords or links to find something I can use?

Bit late on my part, but thanks to everyone who made recommendations/suggestions for Contrast paints. I took the plunge and ordered 3 of them (Guilliman Flesh, Black Templar, and Snakebite Leather), along with some Contrast Medium. Really looking forward to trying them out when they arrive.  I already had some dropper bottles to transfer them into as well, so no spilled paint pots for me.

I don't exactly understand the question but I think you want either 28mm fantasy weapons, or go to eBay and search for similar "28mm whatever the thing is", or whatever appropriate scale your figure is. 1/35 scale for accessories might work and give you more options with ww2 tank/aircraft/farm equipment or mechanics crew sets. Or fashion your parts out of paper clips and sheet styrene (plastic).

Harkano posted:This is amazing. I've just started with this exact mini to test out potential schemes. What's your marble technique? Wish I could give you an exact recipe. I can tell you only what I did: It's been primed gray, base-coated Zandri dust, washed with Agrax Earthshade. And at this point I started drybrushing and stippling different colours on. In no particular order: Rakarth Flesh, Pallid Wych Flesh, Screaming Skull, Ulthuan Grey, VMC Light Flesh, VMC Pale Sand (a bunch of these only because I had them on my palette already for painting the face of the mini). I tried to do the stippling and drybrushing at random places, not trying to cover the whole with one colour, but trying to keep the direction of the brush strokes similar. Halfway through I painted some veins (?) with thinned down Russ Grey and Thunderhawk Blue, more or less trying to keep them going in a similar direction. These were sort of blended in with the a few passes of the previous light colours (still stippling and drybrushing). In the end the whole thing was given a white edge highlight.

Oh my god I am so about this. 3d printers are outside my experience but I’ve always been waiting for them to “get there,” in terms of our world. In the photos these look fantastic and I loving loooove rolling back to old RT designs. Do they hold up detail wise? Have printers hit the “point” yet?

You can get a good quality resin printer (Anycubic Photon or Elegoo Mars) for ~$200 so the price is there. The quality won't be quite as sharp as modern GW plastic but if you get your settings dialed in it's up there with cast resin. Getting the actual 3D models to print is a different thing, of course. Luckily there's a fair number of people doing stuff for 40k if that's your jam although it can take some searching to find specific models because artists will use esoteric (if hilarious) names to avoid takedown demands. Expect to spend probably another $50 for gloves, isopropyl alcohol, and you will most likely need to do some modification to the machine to vent it or exhaust through a filter (I did the latter with my Photon by printing a duct to connect to an organic gasses respirator filter). Resin fumes are noxious as hell and not good to breathe. There are some non-toxic resins coming out now... if you trust Chinese definitions of non-toxic. darnon fucked around with this message at 07:53 on Nov 29, 2019 |

If you really, really look closely you might be able to spot layer lines, but at times even that is hard. The limiting factor is usually the model file itself. There aren't many GW-quality models out there to download. It's a huge hassle though. If I valued my time the models I get out of my printer are probably not much cheaper than GW, but downloading a model online and just making it in my garage is extremely satisfying.
