Thank you to the goons who recommended micron pens for shading. Holy cow this is way better and easier than using a brush.

Has anyone used msa varnish with uvls (Matte) for varnishing Miniatures? What about Winsor Newton artist gloss varnish?

That's the Pathfinder Deep Cuts Gargantuan White Dragon. There're some things I don't like about it, but it's the best of the three Pathfinder gargantuan dragons.

There are a bunch of different mediums and concoctions out there and i do not really understand the use for many of them. I have at my hobby desk:
 Do i really need airbrush thinner or can i just thin my paints with flow medium or water?

Each thins in a different way and has a different purpose. If you’re using airbrush ready paint like Vallejo Model Air, then you don’t really need to use thinner you can get away with just a bit of flow improver. If on the other hand you’re using regular thicker paints like Citadel or Vallejo Game color you should use thinner to get it to the right general consistency and then add a little flow improver to dial it in. If you only use flow improver your paint will not dry properly and you’ll get spiderwebbing, if you only use thinner you’ll get dry tip. I’ve never used quickshade wash, but yeah I think that’s for making washes out of paint or ink. Lamian medium can be used for brush blending effects, or turning regular paint translucent for filters and other effects.

i like my paints to be pretty transparent through the airbrush, so i like to use liquitex airbrush medium, probably like 3-4 parts of medium to 1 part paint (assuming it’s a model colour or citadel base paint) and then a drop or two of flow improver

Toebone posted:That looks great! I wanted a big beefy dude to practice NMM on and he stuck out on the shelf. For the LGS contest you have to pick a reaper model for it, which kinda makes sense because it's a relaxed little event and if you had to pick a GW model no one would enter just because the cost of entry. Not a big fan of the reaper models though; the sculpts are kinda mushy and the plastic is really hard to worth with when removing mold lines.

Your best bet would probably be a transparent iridescent pigment, color shift paint, or interference paint of some sort over a very smooth gloss black surface. Very thin layers of pearlizing medium through an airbrush is how I've seen it done in the past.

96% done with Kurkalla the Tide Tyrant.     Still need to hit the ocean and some other key bits with a heavy gloss, and do the water effects. PoptartsNinja fucked around with this message at 11:45 on Jun 21, 2021 |

A little bit of super glue. Enough to be stable but easy enough to wiggle out if needed
