lenoon posted:Chriiiiiiiiist that’s nice. How did you do that fantastic hair colour? Whenever I go for a more ginger approximate look I can never manage to find the right mix to look natural. The base is a flesh tint daler rowny ink over black. I mixed feugan orange contrast paint and gore-grunta fur and some contrast medium. Applied all over the hair, then added Vallejo beige to the mix as a highlight color.

Slow work day today so I painted another escher ganger. Probably my least favorite of the bunch, and I may go back and fix some details here and there but overall I'm happy with the result.

So I picked up a bunch of small bottles to mix some paints / make some washes out of some. I've only got a bunch of citadel paints and a pot of citadel medium as well. I've currently run into a problem I didn't think about until now which is how the hell do I get the paint and medium into these bottles? The citadel pots aren't really made for pouring, do people usually just scoop it into bottles with brushes? I don't really have a tiny funnel either. I'm curious to see how other people do this

citadel pots are made for one things and one thing only: making you waste as much paint as possible

For regular paint they're the absolute worst, but I don't mind them for washes/contrast.

You could try some small syringes or pipettes. They're pretty cheap in animal feed stores if you have any of those nearby, or I'm sure they're online as well.

First, you get a million tiny funnels, and transfer all your citadel pots to dropper bottles. Then it's super easy to mix in a new bottle.

Gw pots are good for their dry brush paints I think. That's about it.

pipettes sound like the best option. Thanks guys. Will probably have to thin some of the paint before I try though, they get pretty chunky

If you're careful and thin them in the pot first you can pour them into the dropper bottle. It's hell though. I'd recommend picking up a cheap small funnel. You can get them anywhere that sells essential oil stuff.

Funnels are how I transferred to dropper bottles. Just take it slow, add a little extra distilled water (try to avoid tap water if you can) to get the last bit, and resign myself to wasting about 2-5% of each pot. Which is still less than the pot would waste naturally.

Harvey Mantaco posted:Gw pots are good for their dry brush paints I think. That's about it. Actually I've swung right round and like their bottles for contrast now. It is very easy to get a few drops out just by shaking the bottle, pop the top, hold the bottle at 45 degrees and twist the top to face down so that paint ledge drips on the palette. It is shockingly easy to get consistent mixes, even better than the ones I put in droppers.

Got real productive and primed a bunch of forgeworld resin only to find that my otherwise trusty stynylrez has betrayed me. Cured for over 24 hours and I was still brushing bits of it off. I think I’ll be sticking to spray cans for resin from now on. Is simple green considered to be resin safe?

I want to paint a couple models with face paint/warpaint, but i'm not quite sure how to get it to look hand-applied. I was thinking maybe a sponge, but on a 28mm head, I'm not sure that'd look right. Anyone done this? ANy tips?

Did you thoroughly scrub your resin first? As long as the surface is clean, any kind of primer that sticks to plastic should stick to resin.

I've currently run into a problem I didn't think about until now which is how the hell do I get the paint and medium into these bottles? If you can find them, buy a bulk pack of plastic straws. Snip off about a third of a straw, dip it in to your desired amount, cover the back of the straw with the pad of your fingertip, and you can move the paint wherever you want. This works even more amazing for measuring precise amounts of thinner, etc.

I mean…I did what I usually do which involves several scrubs and long soaks with dish soap. This was also several different kits worth of stuff so I don’t feel like it was one bad batch of resin. Given that rattlecan stuff just seems to bite harder into resin I think I may just keep the airbrush priming for plastic 🤷♀️

Doing some colour scheme tests. Tried out a white space marine colour scheme and the blue base coat gave me more of a very light blue I think. Not sure which one I like more although I might have to brighten up the eyes on the white scheme.

Initial opinion, I like both were that the white blue edging out the purple/cream. The purple/cream combo is great but the purple aquila makes it a bit too homogeneous.

I used to love stynylrez primer, it sprayed beautifully. I don’t know what the hell happened but I’ve tried several bottles more than 6 months apart and they’ve all been garbage. The first time I put it down to a bad batch but all of them are like this now. They also fight my airbrush every step of the way and are a pain in the rear end to even spray. I have tried two different brushes just in case they had become an issue and it’s the same nonsense I then discovered 2 old bottles of coloured stynlrez I got way back and never used and lo and behold despite being years old they spray perfectly the way I remember. The black isn’t even the same colour as the old black as can be seen on the older mini. The Vallejo primer also sprays perfectly from both brushes. I can’t put multiple bottles down to a bad batch, did badger change the formula and wreck it? It’s not exactly an issue just to change to Vallejo but I genuinely cannot comprehend what the heck badger has done.

There was a post on Badger's Facebook page a few days (weeks?) back saying that they had switched back to an old supplier for their primers. It was mealy mouthed "due to supply restrictions, we used an equivalent but the product is the same but yes, we're announcing we've switched back!". And now I can't find that post. I'd take that as a confirmation that they've been selling a different product for some period of time and that there have been complaints.
