I once had to clean out my nozzle with a toothpick in order to get dried paint out. With the nozzle off, and needle out , you should be able to see through it from end to end. Can you?

I took the nozzle and gently rorated it on the end of a toothpick. It was the only way i could get the gunk out of it. This was my .18mm nozzle, and i just couldnt get the paint out otherwise. Edit: MSP's suggestion would work too, but start at gentle. Don't be banging it against a table.

Loosen the collet (the nut that applies pressure to hold the needle). Make sure the needle is slid all the way forward while the trigger is at rest. Then retighten the collet.

I bought my detail needle/nozzle for my Patriot at Michael's with the 40% off coupon from their website. It was like 6 bucks. If you dont live in the US, there might be similar bigger craft and hobby shops that stock Badger.

I got another 2.5 hours in! I love painting!  I need to rust the hell out of the smoke stack on the robot, work on the bases, and learn how to paint women's faces.

Give them time for the solvent to evaporate (a day or two), then varnish as normal.

Dimo ArKacho posted:So I'm trying to make an ink wash to match this video, but it's in german and I don't know what the gently caress. When it says Ink + White Spirits, is that basically Future, or do I need to buy more stupid art supplies that I'll use once a year? That looks like an oil wash and not ink. I think Lukas Studio black is an oil paint, and white spirits is the same as odorless mineral spirits in the US. Oil washes are awesome and cheap as gently caress. You should do them.

Last year, i replaced my 12 year old bottle of Future Floor Finish. It served me well. Edit: vvvvvv premixed and ready to go for 10 dollars a QUART. It is a good deal for miniature painters already. Editedit: 27oz is not quite a quart. dexefiend fucked around with this message at 23:23 on Nov 14, 2016 |

I like my Rafael 8404s, and Masters brush soap. I also used Turpenoid Natural to save one of my brushes that i set aside, forgot about... and dried rock hard.

berzerkmonkey posted:It worked for acrylic paints? It did. It didn't appear to damage the brush. I still use that brush all the time. As for sizes, i have a 00, 0, 2x 1 and 2x 2. The points are so good that i rarely use the 00 or the 0. I only use them for the smallest of details. dexefiend fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Jan 5, 2017 |

This list is compiled from posts both here and on other forums (mainly CMON), plus a few recommendations from various painting videos.

Never forget the holy words of Jocephus the Younger: "Thin your loving paints." Also, build a wet palette.

I struggled with thinning paints, and i didnt mix many paints until I got a wet palette. It should cost you like 3 dollars (cost of baking parchment from grocery store). I really think they are very helpful in keeping the consistency of your paints from fluctuating as you paint. Edit: if you don't end up liking it, you can use the parchment to produced baked goods... it is a win/win. dexefiend fucked around with this message at 18:53 on Apr 13, 2017 |

Hoppe's 9 Solvent is amazing for cleaning your nozzle. Next Level Painting showed this, and it really works. I just did it and i was amazed how much gunk was stuck up in my junk.

Throw it away in three months. Old super glue is also a problem.

I would paint it with a faintly metallic paint, then follow Lord Duncan's youtube video. Edit: Whatever you do, test the approach on some plastic spoons.

Pop the nozzle off and submerge it in a solvent. Try something like simple green first. Then step up to stronger if needed.

Vallejo Surface Primer, Vallejo Airbrush Thinner. They work great. I just found out about the thinner recently. It really helps, and no it isn't just water.
