Preshading will do lighter, more subtle shadows than postshading as you describe, and is more forgiving. Neither are better than the other, just what you're going for.

Don't clearcoat, it's not really necessary when you don't have metal models anymore.

P3 Coal Black would be where I'd start the midtones on that. Mix in brighter turquoise for the highlights.

I use the GW air metals with a brush because the normal ones are too thick.

PantsOptional posted:Looking for input here on some Hive Tyrant wings. I've been doing the skin as Seraphim Sepia over plain white, and the carapace as Emperor's Children/Carroburg Crimson/Fulgrim Pink, with the soft flesh areas such as the elbow joints and exposed muscles in Screamer Pink/Druchii Violet. I thought I would do the basic skin on the wings and maybe darken them up a little to set them apart from the "arm" of the wing, but with such a large and flat surface I've run into problems with pooling and tide marks as seen below. I slapped a single layer of base paints on to do some comparison shopping. Watch the Duncan painting video on Mortarion, they cover how to wash areas like wings there. Might give you some ideas on how to extend your colors on the tyrant wings.

You'll be fine boxing them up, it's just acrylic paint. Maybe throw them in zip lock bags if you're worried about them somehow popping.

LifeLynx posted:Far be it from me to question Duncan himself, but why doesn't he use a wet palette? At least in his videos. Is it simply because GW doesn't make a wet palette like Privateer Press does, therefore he's not allowed to use it? I know he uses the Citadel dry palette pads, but every video I can see wasted dry paint on the palette. He might use one privately, but they're not going to use anything in the videos that they don't make. There's no way he uses those palette pads in real life. He did recommend Microsol and Set at Nova, but made sure no one from marketing was around first.

Cut off and clean up as many sprue joins as possible before it just falls off the sprue. Leave any that are going to be hidden after assembly.

mango sentinel posted:I never notice most mold lines until I'm painting, which makes me very mad but I'm too lazy to strip, scrape, and start over. If you didn't do airbrush or blending over the mould line, you can usually just scrape it without stripping the model. Not priming that one small line isn't really going to hurt.

The Moon Monster posted:Yeah, I've heard a lot of people say Vallejo primer goes on like a dream with a brush but that wasn't really my experience with it at all. Unless you're living in a shack in the everglades or something I'd give rattlecan primers a shot. Krylon ultraflat grey primer goes on great and should be cheap and easy to find in the US. I live like 5 mintutes from the Everglades, you're fine with a rattlecan here.

Color modulation. There's not a single flat gray color on it, it's blended with the shadows pretty seamlessly. Along with sharp edge highlights the gray looks very crisp. I wouldn't try this on a model that size without an airbrush.

Loomer posted:I wonder if brush-on vantablack will ever be commercially viable in mini pots. If it does, I might start collecting Raven Guard. Vantablack already looks like something's wrong at full size. On a scale model it'd be way off and just look bad. It would be cool if it could be somehow put into a pin wash for the ultimate cell shade panel liner, but I don't think the chemistry would work for that.

Gaussian posted:Hello, new to the hobby and of course bit off more than I can chew with Saint Celestine from Warhammer 40k. I've followed Duncan's video on how to paint her, but am underwhelmed by the paint job on her sword. I then saw this fantastic piece of art and would like to replicate (if possible) the effect on her sword and halo on her model (she's the one with wings in the upper left). I've played around with a few combinations, but can't seem to get anything satisfactory. Any ideas? Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask. Post what you currently have! Painting something radiant like that is pretty difficult, as the model itself isn't going to be giving off any light. You can try blending from yellow-orange to cream to white, but that's a pretty advanced technique. You'd also want to paint some light scattering onto the model itself, to simulate the glow. This is called Object Source Lighting, and it is rather tricky to pull off convincingly.

everythingWasBees posted:Are any of the affordable (300 or less. Pref a lot less) pre-built spray booths fireproof? Sticking only to non-flammable paints seems rather limiting. That really only limits you from using rattlecans. You really don't want to be spraying those indoors anyway.
