It might also just mean that after they played for 1000 hrs it just wasn't quite as fun any more

Is this the miniatures thread too? I have a shelf full of boxed artillery models, and I'm still not sure how to actually get started and make this all look good.

I ordered this set, but what do I actually do? You have to dilute acrylic paint, right?



Then three coats, just like are matched up in the set?

you don’t have to dilute acrylic but it’s usually a good idea. you want it to lay flat against the model and not glob up. mix in a little water to get something thicker like for base coats, or mix in a lot of water and you can make washes to tweak colors, do gradients, etc. you’ll come to get a feel for it

for big, smooth objects like artillery guns or really any model of a real world vehicle/plane of sufficient size, it’s hard (but not impossible) to get them looking natural using brushes only. at that point you’re looking at airbrushing which is its own thing, but really fun and easy once you know what’s what. it looks intimidating but the only real trick to it is to keep your airbrush clean

I recommend checking out the Scale Models thread and the Miniatures thread, both great resources

Thanks. I figure I finally finished framing and hanging prints on the one wall, I might as well paint all of the guns for the shelves.

For the airbrushing, do I need to go full wargamer and get a generator and paint shop setup in the garage, or are these any good?

I have no idea idea but I use a little tabletop air compressor and an airbrush that looks less elaborate than that and the whole setup cost me like 100 bucks

I hear these are fine but limiting, suitable for small single projects and not really a solution for long term airbrushing. I don't own one but I've handled a few and full teardowns are not really possible so they're essentially disposable after about five to ten uses I would assume. Normal real airbrushes have to be fully torn down and cleaned all the time.

Make sure your paints don't contain heavy metals or only paint in a well ventilated environment!

Yep. He loved airbrushing and loved cadmium pigments. He only got into digital stuff because he degraded so much physically that he could no longer do airbrush work. By the time he realized that what he loved was literally killing him, scrambling his brain, and destroying his nervous system it was too late and the damage had been done.
