My current snow recipe is realistic water mixed with snow flock. My current ice is done with a very liberal amount of kroma crackle.

Fuuuuuuck! I forgot brush cleaner ate through plastic and killed all my brushes sitting them in a solo cup! Other then replacing my winsor and Newton series 7 size 1, what brushes should I get to cover everything. I'm getting pretty respectable with technique etc and would like to have a good set of tools

Avenging Dentist posted:I think that depends hugely on your style, overall skill level, and what you're painting. I prefer really small brushes (I have several 10/0s for fine detail stuff), but I know that's not universal. For what it's worth, I just bought some Series 7s in 0, 00, and 000. I have larger brushes, but they're just for basecoats. I'm by no means knowledgeable with this sort of stuff, but I've been using the 1 for 99% of everything except when drybrushing out doing anything else really abusive like basing. Is there a certain degree of pros/cons to going small vs this?

signalnoise posted:My first WIP in months that is perhaps worth giving a poo poo about. The mistakes are imperceptable at table distance. What should I add to this to finish it? Washes on everything except maybe the purple. Clean up those couple blue bits on the purple. Even though you can't necessarily see then at table height, a little bit goes a long way on that front.

SteelMentor posted:Bit of a bizaare question, but how on earth would I go about painting beer? Currently painting some Guildball Brewers and need some ideas on how to paint the spilt beer on Stave and Spiggot. Depending how it is spilling I would almost paint it off white, then a heavy drybrushing of a lighter white. Beer froths when it's moved quickly

shoplifter posted:How can I improve these plasma guns? These are the first models I've done in 15 years or so, obviously there are things I need to work on with neatness (I actually made an attempt at the rivets, these don't look so good compared to the other 7 marines I did) etc. I got lazy and one did one coat of green. Everything is still WIP and full disclosure, they're for a seven year old. Not sure about the guns, buy the green would look stellar with a quick black or dark green wash on it.

SRM posted:So a few years ago (long before I started this army) a friend of mine gave me the remains of a miscast Squiggoth in a Ziploc bag. It had sat around in my Warhams box for years until a couple weeks ago when I decided to see what I could do with it. With a lot of green stuff, a few digs through my bitz box, and an awful lot of clipping and cutting, I'd built myself a proper howdah for the big beast! There's still some pretty bad problems with the model - a slipped mold happened somewhere obviously - I still think I did a decent job salvaging the model! Also my old second lamp I was using for photography started shooting sparks so I had to toss it; until I get a suitable replacement my lighting might be a little off. This first image shows his colors most accurately: Whats actually miscast here? looks real tight

dishwasherlove posted:Can anyone suggest a decent basing theme for my Infinity minis? I painted the weapons purple so they would be easier to see on the table, but they may have been a mistake because now I'm stumped for a base and how hard to push the contrast with that. Daaaaamn, good job on that yellow. Those look amazing

Darren MacLennan posted:Okay, I throw myself on the mercy of the board. Have a look at this: Looks solid, next step for the next guy would be adding some intermediate blending I think. The fur on his shoulders for instance would really shine if you went from dark, to more of a mix, to the highlight. Stuff like that can really kill it with a drybrush.

Seeing online that the bager patriot comes with a massive gently caress off needle (.75) which sounds awesome for basecoating/sealing. Being this is what I'm going to be doing 90% of the time that sounds really appealing. I'm I putting myself in a bad spot to do detail work with that though. Is the needle to big for that stuff/does the brush come with other needles?

Avenging Dentist posted:Yeah, from the limited stuff I can find, it sounds like the worst that will happen is the CA will soften as well, since it's just an acrylic in the end. As long as I can keep the piece from snapping in two when I bend it, I can fix up any other problems afterwards. I'll probably use my respirator while working on it just in case though. Is CA the stuff that you can get assist by cooling it. Stick it in the freezer and make it really brittle

Pierzak posted:Metallic medium is not fine enough and will give you a "metallic flakes in paint" look. If you want actual colored metal you use VMA Silver, very strong and fine metalic pigment and excellent for mixing. Holy hell yeah. I just got this stuff and people don't kid around when they recommend the Vallejo metallic airs!

Gareth Gobulcoque posted:This may be true of craft paints, but hobby paints have enough stuff stuff in them that just adding water is fine. You can use additives if you like them, but they aren't necessary. I'd like to think I get pretty good blends without them, and better painters than me do stupid stuff. Yep, I agree with this until your taking really weird techniques or airbrushing

Triggered posted:One thing that I find really useful for paint mixing when im using my airbrush are those little plastic shot glasses you can buy at a supermarket. Its easy to see the consistency by moving the paint up the sides and its nice to pour into the airbrush. Nice and easy to clean up as well. This is 100% the way to go. Hit up a dollar store and get 500 of them for cheap

Try storing them upside down, I've been told that slows the drying out. Agreedo on the new gw paints being pretty gross. I have a couple but try to stick to Vallejo model color and game color when I can. On that front, anyone know what the difference is between vmc and vgc?
