Has anyone encountered either Vallejo airbrush flow improver or Army Painter washes lifting dried paint when applied? Lately when I've been applying thinned washes I've found that anything more than a bit of gentle movement with the brush begins removing segments of underlying paint, and it almost looks as if it gets slightly gummy when I go over it a couple of times with the brush. I suspect it's the flow improver but I'm not sure, and I'd hate to have to toss it because I have half of a large bottle still left...

Yeah, if you use too much flow improver you end up having too much surfactant and it's like dish soap. You really need only a drop or two to break the tension.

The art supply companies like Golden and Liquitex have flow improver in larger sizes, and if you paint huge Guernica sized stuff you can get industrial flow improvers like Floetrol in large jugs.

I've bought my first ever model made from resin. Do I have to do anything different with this? I've only ever painted lead and plastics before. Also, will superglue be ok to stick it together? Also. I should probably try and get the lead pile down before buying any more new stuff.

Oh my son wants me to replace some missing paint in his Minecraft Metal/Pewter figures, and I was wondering, are there any particular special rules for paint metal. Also the battle harden Rhino is turning out well. Dry brushing some Drayd Bark is doing wonders. Do people think it’s doing a decent job of hiding the splotches and just looking cool? Also I really need to paint with gloves on, so some of my work doesn’t look like a finger print card.

Gambrinus posted:I've bought my first ever model made from resin. Do I have to do anything different with this? I've only ever painted lead and plastics before. you will want to wash the model off with dilute dish soap and warm water to get any mold release off prior to painting. This is common for plastic kits too but for resin it seems to be more important. Additionally, you want to be really careful with the material because it tends to be brittle compared to ABS. Superglue works fine and is generally the preferred option for resin. Bigger and heavier resin models (figure kits, big forge world models like the manta or knights) should be pinned and epoxy'd instead.

What's a really good rich purple to use? I ordered some guys from Anvil and haven't actually bought any paints yet, but I'm thinking purple jackets to go with their white trousers and silver armour.

If you're looking for something on the red end of purple, I have been doing a bit of painting lately with Golden's So Flat Red Violet a lot lately and it's very nice, vibrant and highly saturated with a very smooth and flat finish, mixes very well too. I have been incredibly impressed with the So-Flat line in general, it is just very very good paint for miniatures Vallejo Violet and Blue Violet are good options for the middle and blue end of the spectrum jesus WEP posted:maybe you aren’t looking for a set of 8 paints but these will do every purple you’ve ever dreamed of yeah Vallejo makes incredible purple paints and most of the big product lines are comparatively garbage tbh I have painted with so many purples and very few of them get the good coverage you get with vallejo Mirthless fucked around with this message at 19:58 on Sep 12, 2022 |

A couple things to think about: How thinned is your paint? From the model I’d guess you could play a little thinner What are you using for a palette? Even if you don’t use a wet palette, you should make sure you have space to work the tip of your brush until it gives you nice smooth fine lines on the palette before you get to the miniature. Plastic container lid is plenty good enough. How are you holding your hands? Most people can’t get any brush control if their painting hand is floating in the air. Try touching the base of your hand painting to the hand holding the piece so you always have a point of reference. What part of your brush are you painting with. Tip for details, side for picking out raised areas. As for your mistake, the eyes are usually the lowest part. Put a couple layers of your base colour over it then repaint the white. Leave the lowest parts red. Your work has been pretty good, but a few mechanical changes can really rocket the final product et up.

One more tip: resin dust is nasty stuff. If you do any carving on a resin kit you'll want good ventilation and a good particle-rated mask. You probably have an N95 or 10 handy, those will do fine.

I like your Moxy, but this is definitely a thin your paints situation. Pretty much nothing should be done in one coat, and your going to get a lot more milage out of several thin layers

I had a really bad experience with the plastic minis with Bloodborne needing several good scrubbings to get all of the residue off before they would take a prime evenly.

I don’t know about plastic minis, but I’ve been burned a couple times on unwashed plastic models having whole sections of paint come off with the masking tape. It sucks.

Plastic and resin are roughly the same material, in a sense, and the production process is not dissimilar; That is to say, they spray shitloads of mold release on plastic molds too The difference between plastic and resin miniature lines is that plastic miniature lines are generally produced in gigantic factories in production runs of hundreds of thousands of units and a part washer is included in the production line Day 2 progress on my Kingdom Death pinup:  Front: https://i.imgur.com/tDUgTBh.jpg Back: https://i.imgur.com/pv7fmfc.jpgthe way mistakes just pop out at you always bothers me with high res photos but it's been helpful on this project for knowing where I need to lay down extra paint. I can tell with fine details on GW minis that the intention is to still be able to fit a brush in there, that is clearly not the case with the KDM minis, I knew this was gonna be skill intensive but lmao; fun project but don't expect to speedpaint any of these. There are few, if any, Sculpt Compromises here, painting sub assemblies is required and as evidenced by my Day 1 there are some very difficult seam lines; I actually needed to scribe the thigh seam out once it reached the boot because the seam ate a recess in the mold Mirthless fucked around with this message at 14:08 on Sep 13, 2022 |
