SiKboy posted:If its a gamepiece rather than a figure (I'm thinking something like a pawn) maybe wash with white? You'd need to neaten up the black afterwards but it would look striking/high contrast. A white oil wash would be what I would try, but regular acrylic would probably work too, just more neatening up afterwards. Most of the metallic paints I've used wouldnt thin down to a wash consistancy while keeping any of the metallic effect, theres just a limit to how much the lil sparkly bits can be spread out before it doesnt look shiny any more.  this is the game piece specifically

I think that's just an "ad" for their contrast paints "use this before using your contrast paints!"

I think the discussion has been super thin black primer and then dry brush white paint and do that instead of dry brushing any white primer, mine pools and looks like poo poo if I go straight white on plastic.

 I think that's all the non-metallic colors I'll use on this, next it's the metals, then shading (how do you shade snow? I guess I'll avoid that) then cleanup, then highlights. I'll probably add stripes to the TNT on the highlights part edit: I feel like I'm loving up somewhere even at this stage of the process but I'm not sure how to articulate it. Most of my complaints so far on this model is that some areas are hard to get to, but for the actual painting I feel like I'm missing something. Maybe it's the brush control in overspraying, and then needing to go back and retouch up the areas, or maybe i'm not undercoating properly (went with grey instead of black this time), or something, I'm not sure. There's still work to do on the model but idk GreenBuckanneer fucked around with this message at 11:24 on Dec 28, 2023 |

EdsTeioh posted:Any of you guys used Dirty Down Rust? I build a lot of Necromunda terrain and am always looking for new weathering techniques and grabbed some of this stuff and I gotta say that it's probably the biggest waste of money I've encountered in 30 years of hobbying. Yeah, I shook the hell out of it and all that, but I may as well have just smeared iodine on stuff and saved $25. I got gifted their 3 set in xmas 2022 and haven't had the chance to even crack the bottles open...terrain might be a good idea one of the other things too, is I hear they're a pain with sealing them with varnish and it ruins the effect, brush on is likely to brush the effect off and you pretty much have to like use an airbrush and do like a "spray...wait....see how it's going, continue spraying? spray" a little bit at a time to not re-activate it GreenBuckanneer fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Dec 28, 2023 |

Z the IVth posted:As always never believe everything you see on the Internet. Much like supermodels, miniatures can also be touched up in post. Sometimes if I take to bring in the DSLR and tear down my painting area so I can make room for the lightbox, because I can't do both, I run it through Lightroom, but otherwise, meh. I'll take a photo with my camera cause that's all I can manage

One thing to keep in mind with people like Elemustria or w/e is he probably spent 60-100 hours on that one model... I spend 8-10 and I feel like I have accomplished everything I could possibly accomplish without starting over and acquiring more talents

 Here's where I'm at so far, I don't have an airbrush and all the white rattlecans I've tried (which it's like 21F outside so probably not good to spray anyways) do that "spotty droplets" thing so I'm just doing brush work. Looks like you don't wash this armor but "weather" it so I'll have to investigate what's a good way to easily weather tau armor that isn't tons of fiddling with the brush, I surmise a sponge probably.

Beffer posted:It was said earlier, but i think you will find it much better base coating in off white or better still pale grey. Your eye won’t be able to tell the difference, it will cover much better than pure white, and you can get depth by then highlighting in white. Yeah, that's what I'll do for the tau after this one unfortunately the tau I assembled and primed a year ago were in black, so I'll have to figure out something

Lostconfused posted:When priming do you go for 100% coverage or "it looks mostly covered"? I have the same problem and I just "spray and pray". All you need is something just enough for the paint to grab onto

Now that i actually look at it. Raphael 8404 are bigger than I expected. I got #1 #2 because I tend not to bother with very large brushes and very small brushes are so tiny that the paint dries off quickly, but even #1 is a bit larger than I like to use. A Raphael #1 seems comparable in size to a Rosemary #3 I'll try these but I think maybe a Raphael #0 or something might be the size I want. The #2/0 seems to have bad reviews but that size looks like a rosemary #1...hrm GreenBuckanneer fucked around with this message at 11:20 on Jan 21, 2024 |

I actually just came to post about the WoW Stick because I just bought one and tried it out on a random barrel and it took 10 seconds. I can't believe it. worth every penny I primarily got it because I am also getting into Malifaux models and wanted something to drill into them  I picked up the McMourning core box and one of my friends helped direct me to sculpt in green stuff for the first time and I had so much fun that I bought a bunch of basing tools and greenstuff lol
