Does anyone have a recommendation for drybrush brushes? (Preferably ones that are available on Amazon) I need some for terrain and figures.

Pledge Floor Care with Future Shine (or whatever the hell it is called now) is a great gloss varnish for airbrush application.

  Four Slag Trolls! I am going to use pigments to make the rust look rustier, but I am very happy with where they are now.  Compared to three years ago, where rust was metal and red pigment. dexefiend fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Apr 9, 2015 |

Windex is a streak free glass cleaner that has a little ammonia in it. I would try out whatever your local equivalent is.

Sounds to me like you need to thin your paint a little bit more. To get that gradient, the layers need to be slightly transparent. Alternatively, apply 50/50 mixes of the paints as transitional color.

The way I think of the difference is that you want washes to pool, but you don't want glazes to pool. Edit: So when putting a wash on the brush, you want it quite full, but a glaze you want it to be wet but not loaded. dexefiend fucked around with this message at 14:38 on Jul 28, 2015 |

rantmo posted:Two nights ago I was on a painting binge and thinned the paint (P3 Sanguine Base) with acrylic flow release, as it dried and got used up, I added more paint and flow release and 48-ish hours later the paint is still a little tacky and super shiny. I've never had anything like that happen before, and as interesting as it is, I'd really like to not have to wait days for my paint to dry. What sorcery did I accidentally perform? Maybe you achieved Soap? Pure flow aid?

The Mantis posted:woah thats loving awesome. how did you make it look chipped/worn? Thanks man! I primed with Vallejo primer in Dunkelgelb (German Dark Yellow), airbrushed a mixture of Golden Yellow, Flat Yellow, and a beige to mute it a little bit.  Then sponge painted in the German Grey for the chipping.  Then I painted on raw umber, and streaked it with mineral spirits. In other words, I am a horrible plagiarist... I used this plan of attack: http://www.discountgamesinc.com/blog/the-hobby-corner-16/

I have the Sparmax TC-620x, and it is super high quality. I was really impressed by it when i got it, as it was a giant improvement from my prior compressors. I originally bought a tankless one from Airbrush Depot, which i burned out in less than a year. Literally. One time i used it for three hours or so and burnt my hand picking it up.... it never worked after that day. Then, i went the opposite direction and bought a twenty gallon tanked shop compressor. It worked great but was so loud that i would jump out of my chair when it kicked on. I also couldn't paint at night with it. It now lives in the garage and pumps up my tires or powers an air nailer. I went with the Sparmax and hope i never have to buy another one.

krushgroove posted:In short, I think you might be best served with the first bundle you looked at. I agree completely. I use my 105 the most out of my three airbrushes just because it is so easy to work with. It is easy to clean, and it doesn't get gunked up as much. You can even get replacement needles or nozzles quickly from either Amazon or Michael's (dont forget your Internet coupon) . I was simply trying to chime in on how great sparmax is.

BULBASAUR posted:Two days ago I was cleaning minor mold lines on a resin model using an xacto chisel. It slipped and sliced the tip of my thumb nearly off. Blood squirting everywhere I ran into the kitchen to disinfect, apply pressure, and keep the bleeding to the sink. I broke out in a cold sweat and suddenly I had no idea what was going on because nothing made sense I was cold and alone. I was about to panic when I woke up on my tile floor, room spinning, blood everywhere. Later I learned I'd also given myself a minor concussion and hurt my left elbow. This kind of story is the true origin of "Blood for the Blood God."

thespaceinvader posted:Is there something I'm missing? I just bought a pot of Tamiya White because gently caress giving GW money, and it behaves differently from basically every other paint I've used, including the pot of Tamiya Nato Black I picked up at the same time. If I use it neat is dries out and goes tacky or stringy almost instantly, if I try to thin it with water it either goes so thin that it pools horribly and acts more like a wash, or almost curdles. Halp. What is the model number of the paint? Maybe you grabbed the enamel instead of the acrylic? Edit: hmmm i checked and all their paints are "acrylic," but i know that i thin my Smoke with their lacquer thinner and not water. Any Tamiya experts around here? dexefiend fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Dec 30, 2015 |

Want to do up some infantry bases for Dropzone Commander and not sure where to start for getting things like asphalt down from a material standpoint. Already picked up some n scale cars I am going to rough up as abandoned vehicles and such. Vallejo Black Lava is a good miniature asphalt. However at 10mm it might be too chunky.
