Is there a way to wash or highlight metallic gold? I'm trying for the brightest gold I can get, so I used a white primer with a basecoat of GW Auric Armor Gold. It just looks so yellow. Its for a slightly rounded section of a robot that has some inscriptions. I want the whole thing gold, but how do I get those inscriptions to pop without making them a separate color?

Is there a Citadel match for PP Coal Black, or is this something I'll have to mix up?

I bought a pot of citadel Maccragge Blue and I'm really confused. This came out basically purple to my eyes. I'm trying to build to an Ultramarine Space Marine color, and this just seems really dark on top of a black primer. I feel like I should have started with their Altdorf Blue.

I'm having a lot of trouble with Citadel's Troll Slayer Orange. I can't seem to get an even coat, no matter the water dilution I use. Does matte medium or Flo aid make this better.

Is there a recommended putty for gap filling? I see Green Stuff being named all the time, but that almost seems like a catch-all for modeling putty. Is there any real difference between that stuff and any other 2-part epoxy?

Hairspray paint chipping question: Let's say that I lay down a black primer first (and letting that cure for a few days), then applying the hairspray. Would using a Krylon paint+primer rattle can on top of that be permeable enough to chip afterwards?

Does anyone have a link to the album that a goon did with the retro 90's style Ultramarines? I can't think of any keywords to find that again.

I've decided that I hate grey airbrush primer. I can't tell where I've covered a model at all.

ro5s posted:I don’t do anything fancy, it’s just javis static grass, pva on the base where I want it and dunk the whole thing in the bag. For something big like the exocrine it’s similar, glue on a section, dump some grass on, shake off the excess then on to the next bit. So you don't use one of those expensive static grass gadgets?

I had something similar with my 105. I sent an email to Badger trying to explain what the problem was, and they recommended me mailing it in for troubleshooting & repair, which I did. They ended up sending me a new airbrush after about 3 1/2 weeks. I was ok with that.

Airbrush talk: white ink layers on top of a black primer? Does it go on opaquely or does it take a bunch of coats?

jesus WEP posted:Liquitex at least is pretty opaque, and also leaves a nice smooth transition to black So for example, I'm painting some classic green Striking Scorpions. Starting with a black primer (I have Vallejo surface black and Stynelrez black gloss, which is better for inks?), I can layer the Liquitex Green ink directly onto the black? For highlights and transitions, I can slowly add Liquitex Yellow ink into the mix? edit: Also, any differences noted between the brands: Liquitex, Daler-Rowney, Dr. Ph Martin?

Does purple work as an undershade for yellow? I know that everyone says use white, orange, or pink... but I swear that I saw a youtube vid where someone was layering yellows onto a purple base shade.

Looking for some yellow advice. Considering that I'm airbrushing, do either of the following present either a better overall finish or a ease of painting? 1. Prime brown, white preshade, layered yellow 2. Prime white, layered yellow, brown shading The goal is a sort of Imperial Fist-esque, grimdark look after chipping & weathering, but I want to make sure that I get the base color done properly.

Has anyone cracked the recipe for a not-$10-for-0.6-ounces of Citadel's Contrast Medium? I have tried both Liquitex Glazing Medium and Matte Medium, and both come out far too think. I've been using Liquitex Airbrush Medium to try to thin it down, but it just doesn't seem the same.

This is a long-shot, but I need some help with chipping. I'm using the hairspray method. I do about two coats of hairspray, then let that dry. Next, I airbrush my top coat over that and let it dry. When I start paintbrush chipping with water, my chips end up being huge and sometimes the whole airbrush layer starts to lift off and peel away. What am I doing wrong?

Trying some new techniques with this one: Primed Grey Stippled on dark grey, then light grey, then white with some torn up foam Agrax earthshade in deep recesses Highly watered down Troll Slayer Orange for rusty effects. https://imgur.com/d5SPjKc How do I make this image just show up in the thread?
