EdsTeioh posted:Not really; it NOT being water based is what makes it work. You can mix pigments with lighter fluid and get basically this same effect or just start using enamel washes which is the Real Ultimate Power (to me, anyway). It absolutely is Real Ultimate Power™. My follow up question is what kinds of varnish are safe with an enamel-based paint. I have an airbrush, but not the means to ventilate heavy use of painting with lacquer or enamel products. I can tolerate panel lining and the fumes that come out of my Tamiya panel line bottle in short bursts, but spraying it out of an airbrush is a no-go. If I apply a layer of water-based varnish on top of a basecoated model, will the enamel eat through it? I'll concede if I can't use enamel thinner to wipe off pooled enamel panel liner and will just have to paint on top of it to clean up.

If you want a panel liner you can just make it with oil paint and gamsol. All you need is a window and a fan too.

Get a small technical pencil, draw lines on, fill in the diamonds, touch up where you went over the lines, touch up where your touch ups went over the lines.

If you have a fine tipped brush that's holds a point well, and thinned down paint you can paint your lines to create your diamonds or squares or whatever pattern. Same basic steps just no pen/cil required (but you do need a good brush).

I always have one of those to hand for doing squiggles in books and for dotting eyes on the rare occasions I cant get away with just not doing that.

It could be micron type pens. They also have ones with brush-like tips.

Apparently you should use the shavings from such sharpening to make your superglue stronger. Or so my youtube recommendations tell me.

Just wanted to tell you guys that I really like the youtube channel "The Painting Phase" since Peachy started there. He talks a lot about how things work within GW and I find it oddly informative and interesting. Also one of their latest episodes have Bob Naismith on to talk about his work at GW and beyond.

Right now I use Games & Gears Pro Studio, some Army Painter brushes, and for synthetics, Princeton Snap. Soonish I should have the giant bundle of sable and wolf brushes from that kickstarter in october, so we'll see how those are. They were at least extremely loving cheap.

I like the princeton kolinsky sable brushes. Theyre about 25 cad a piece and theyre well worth it. I destroy regular brushes all the time, but i havent managed to destroy a brush yet. I know some people dont use their sable brushes with metallics, but i do and havent had a problem.

I've been using GW for years and I treat them with loving care, but they always end up frayed and with missing bristles :/ Moderately priced brushes with artificial hairs. Affordable, rugged, available all over the place. You can drop bigger money on fancy brushes, or you can drop smaller money two or three times as they burn out. Just my two cents as a guy that bought kolinsky sable brushes and found they died about as fast as my mid-tier synthetics. (Yes I used brush soap and tried to care for them, but they just didn't last for me). https://canada.michaels.com/en/golden-synthetic-brushes-by-artists-loft-necessities/10171146.html
