I've had the same problem with both Vallejo silver and also Citadel Leadbelcher. The synthetic brush may be the issue, I didn't want to ruin my good brushes with metallic paint! Ha.

Does anyone have any display solution recommendations? Right now a solid 1/4 of my work table is just full of painted minis, and uhh... I should put them somewhere else. I know about the Ikea glass shelf but there's not one near me and it's like $60+ to ship.

Yep, a pot of Nuln Oil and a pot of Agrax Earthshade will handle 99% of your wash needs and will last you ages.

I couldn't do checkers that neat if I held my breath, ate some goji berries, and braced both of my arms on something. That's fantastic work.

Not my picture, I found this on Facebook, but any ideas how to do this sort of gun barrel patina? It looks fantastic but I have no idea how to recreate it.

What's the best wash to use on Ork skin if I don't have Druichi Violet? I have the other main ones, Nuln Oil, Reikland Fleshshade, Ahead Earthshade, Seraphim Sepia... I'm assuming Carroburg Crimson wouldn't look good.

Thought I'd try a sprue test painting Ork/goblin skin using the paints I have on hand, and I think it turned out okay! I like the yellow highlight.  Time to work through my Ork Blood Bowl team now, waaaaaagh Edit-- also painting Ork skin is weirdly satisfying and I can't pinpoint why

First blocker done!!  I wasn't totally sold on the Thunder Valley Greenskins color scheme at first but it's growing on me. Definitely more excited to paint the imperial nobility guys though.

My go-to "thin" glue is Tamiya Extra Thin Cement. I basically have no complaints whatsoever about it, I've been using it for models for years.

I'm trying a new wet pallet and uhh... What am I doing wrong here? I haven't touched the paint yet, it all just feathered out. I used parchment instead of the pre cut papers it comes with, did I just wet it too much? Should I just let it sit open overnight?

Finally painted the model I'd been dreading, this troll from the Blood Bowl Black Orcs team. Super stoked with how it came out, I think it's the highest standard I've reached for a model so far (which isn't saying a lot, but still). Not perfect, but I'm happy with it.   edit-- drat IT I just noticed in the pictures that I blobbed a little white on top of the repurposed helmet on his knee.

Spanish Manlove posted:Hell yeah. What's the gold color and how'd you do the base? Retributor Armor with an Agrax Earthshade wash. It's my favorite gold metallic combo because it pops but it's not garish The base is just GW Astrogranite texture paint dry brushed with Screaming Skull

Finally finished the last Ork of my team, Varag Ghoul-Chewer. This is such a fun sculpt, but I definitely went overboard with the armor highlighting. I was painting in a dim room and didn't realize how much I'd put on til I was under a brighter light. Whoops. Other than that I'm pretty happy with it.   I'll get a full team picture tomorrow when I finish the base.

Can you add contrast medium to a normal paint to make it behave more like contrast paint? I have a mini that would do well with contrast, but I have specific colors I want to use that aren't in the contrast line.

These little fancy lads are a lot of fun to paint but oh my GOD there's a reason I never paint human minis - eyes suck rear end. At least I feel pretty good about painting white now. Turns out corax white + apothecary white contrast is a magic formula.

Taking a break from GW stuff to paint up some Infinity pieces. Tonight a Yu Jing Zhanshi. It's my first time trying to "blend" colors to get a gradient effect. It went... okay. It'll get better.

Anyone else go through bouts where they don't feel like painting, but they want to get something done, so they paint, and they're not happy with how it turns out, but then they're like "gently caress it, it's done I guess" and plop it on the shelf, and then feel bad about their entire painting hobby as if it's a sham? Just me?

After my slump the other day I feel a lot better about painting tonight. Happy with how this Yu Jing Daofei came out even though I definitely don't have the hang of sword effects, and can't seem to get a silky smooth coat on metal. Oh well, every day is a lesson

Painting ghosties is SO satisfying. Just blending and fun colors, super zen.  I was trying to approximate the AOS Nighthaunt look in my Blood Bowl Wraiths instead of the boring all white sheets.

I have some mid range brushes that frustrate me, and some value pack golden taklon brushes that I absolutely love, so... Yeah, try some cheap stuff and see if there's something specific you want to change (holding more paint, stiffer/springier bristles/etc)

I got 2/1/0 brushes from the Da Vinci Maestro series (I remembered ordering Rosemary and Co but whatever, whoops), and... ok, god drat it, these brushes make a world of difference. Good paint flow, no struggling with a curled tip, it's just... better. Finished up a couple Panoceania Fusiliers last night and the blending/highlighting was just a dream with those new brushes compared to my Michaels/Target cheapos.

Still waiting on the crackle base to dry but holy moly this is the most minis I've ever painted start to finish in one day. My eyes and wrists are killing me, but the production line strategy made these not too painful.  Blood for the blood god, skulls for the skull throne, etc
