PyroDwarf posted:Help me painting goons! I am painting this guy pink for my daughter. Everything was going fine until I started the final layer. I've been using a glaze technique to get to the point in this photo: You watered it down too much and the pigment separated. There's no coming back from that except painting over it with your base colour again.

PyroDwarf posted:Whelp. Simple green it is. Would using thinner medium instead of water help? Yeah, thats exactly what medium is designed to do. Keep the pigment together but just stretch it instead of separating like too much water will cause.

Gloss varnish creates a perfectly flat surface for the transfer to sit on. Paint layers are naturally a tad bumpy so it is useful to do.

Star Man posted:How do you pin all that stuff together, anyway? I've tried using sticky tack but it doesn't hold on to the plastic very well. I drill into the bits and stick it on with a tiny dab of superglue to stop it twirling.

dishwasherlove posted:That is some goddamn sexy marble, gaylord. Thanks. I must have started that base over from scratch about 4 times before I got to that, some very very frustrating moments where it just didn't work. I also painted this in a different way to how I normally paint and it made some of the more tedious bits much quicker while still giving the finish I wanted.

Sycorax bronze is also really thin so to get a decent amount of coverage over black you'll either be doing 30 odd layers or gooping it on really thick.

JerryLee posted:How did you do it? Looking at it I feel like I would probably approach that effect by sponging light gray and white over a medium gray, then painting the veins on in dark gray, but I'd be surprised if it was actually that simple to get it the way you did. But you'd be correct. There's a bit of purple glazing in patches but it's mostly dark grey base, sloppy coat of russ grey, sponge fenris grey, sponge vma pale blue grey. Paint in veins in dark reaper. Sponge again. Paint more veins. Sponge etc etc. The gold was just tin bits, dwarf bronze, shining gold, auric gold and auric + mithril.

Z the IVth posted:Marble stuff To be honest, I'm still not happy with the base but it got to the point where I'd had enough and just kept going with what I had. If I want to enter it in anything I'll probably come back to it, but at this point its good enough hah.

Shachi posted:Not sure if I was clear. Was asking about doing it with an airbrush. I'm trying to get better at this brick wall of a learning curve. Since this model is mostly one color it's been the first one that I've been able to try to do almost entirely with an AB. I have a full unit (9) zealots to do next and they are also mostly white. So I'm hoping to hone in some skill on this one model before I try to speed up my process across a full unit. I'm thinking with those, a zenithal highlight will work out just fine though. You need to lower your pressure and use multiple passes to build up the gradient.

ShowTime posted:So i'm thinking of getting some commissioned work done and wanted to see if anyone had any experience with it or perhaps does it themselves. I'm just looking at what kind of prices I should be expecting. I have maybe 25 small based, 30 medium based and 10 large based figures (Warmachine/Hordes) that i'd like painted with moderate attention to detail. Basically if level 1 is just the basics and level 5 is professional studio/product images, i'd be looking at getting a 2 (if that makes any sense). Everything i'm interested in getting done is already assembled and primed. Minimum you're looking at is the retail value of the models for the paintjob. Well, unless you want to send them to child labour places like BTP.

International Shipping is where most stuff gets broken in transit. I won't do it unless i absolutely have to. Also I finally put some stuff in the cabinet, a year after moving in.  Theres models from nearly a decade ago in that shot.

BULBASAUR posted:Has anyone here had any experience with them? I've done some, all of which were metal. They were easy to assemble, but did require some putty work to fill joins. I didn't have to pin anything but that may be necessary on some models. I'd stay away from horses since they're a bit of a nightmare to get together. They're gorgeous sculpts though and really reward painting effort.

Chewbaccanator posted:Why do people hate Gesso? It seems like a legitimate alternative if you can't spray paint your primer. Its a terrible idea for miniatures. And most traditional modellers don't paint their models with thinned down putty. They just sand stuff down. Which to be fair, you don't actually have to do anymore since casting is so much better, but they've been doing it that way for years so they'll never change.

ijyt posted:Man, I remember people laughing at GW's display paintjobs not being amazing, but I think there's a good idea to that. I can't stop comparing my lovely Infinity to the amazing box art. I trtied to push through with the first mini but it's gone so wrong that I'm just going to strip and build again. It's so disheartening. Dont. Leave it finished, move on to the next one. If you still hate it after you've done all of them then strip and repaint.

Moola posted:making some terrain with card as a base Do the bottom side first, because when you apply it to the other side it will crack the side you first glued. So basically glue the bottom to make it curve, then glue what people will see and that might sort it.

Yep, the worst thing you can do when starting out painting is to keep endlessly stripping models and restarting them because you never get anything finished and then give up.
