So I just did a test of striping a few models with Dettol, it worked quite well, but they are still sticky after rinsing with water. How do I end the stickyness? Kitchen roll?

The top torso, arms, rear leg armor and top of the head are Heldrake
Underside of the torso is two forward sections of the Defiler hull cut and joined together. Plate just above the head came from a Soul Grinder. Not sure where the head sensor and torso connector came from. Dreadnought power plant. Under the power plant is the cable bunch from the Maulerfiend.

Legs are Sentinel while the feet are reversed Killa Kan feet with Sentinel toes. Upper leg armor from the Maulerfiend, lower is cut down Defiler claw armor.

Then as many wires and cables as you can find. I've actually got enough for another one if I can find a couple more Defiler hulls.

Aaaaand another update as I start putting pin washes on.

>>54157824
Washing up liquid might help. Stick some on a toothbrush, scrub the models under water and see if it improves.

If not, soak them again in Dettol then try the above again.

Is there a way to order specific parts to be replaced? Or would they maybe send me a replacement door if I called and explained what happened and politely asked for one?

They're usually pretty nice about this. Worth calling them.

Need sculpting/converting ideas for a Knight Atrapos possessed by a Herald of Tzeentch. Some anon posted this in the last thread and I'm definitely gonna give it a shot. Still need sculpting ideas though.

Better to prime Carcharodons black or White?

>>54158121
You're gonna want a healthy amount of warpflame action. Maybe have some horrors jumping around on it or the base.

>>54158111

Checked and I will call them tomorrow

>>54158121
Lord of Change parts would be good for it. How's your free hand game?

>>54157824
I washed them in soapy water then a quick rinse afterwards

>>54157860
dettol is not a joke

An anon vouched for "Rustoleum Painter's Touch 2X" pretty strongly last thread. Anyone here have an opinion on it?

>>54158389

Not that anon but I like it and it beats getting Jew'd by Citadel's $20 spray can primer. They are pretty cheap (under $5 I think) so you can buy a can and test it out with one model to see if you like it.

>>54158389
>>54158427
I used it on these

>>54158418
For under $10 that sounds worth it to at least try. I'll try it out tomorrow and then post the results to see if it's helped (I'm the thinning fag from last thread)

Non-existant. I don't wanna go too feathery with it because I have another Knight that I'm gonna do a lot of feathers on. I'm making an army of 5 Knights each possessed by a different daemon of Tzeentch. Got good fluff and conversion ideas for all of em except for the Herald. He's gonna be horror-like (as in pic related) and I just need a way to translate this into Knight.

I've had these grots sitting in Super Clean for like a week now and the primer (old Chaos Black spray I believe) will not come off. Also, some of the color is still sticking in a few places.
Should I just paint over the primer or leave to soak even longer.

It was me. My opinion shouldn't count twice, though.

The model on the left was based with Rustoleum white, the model on the right, black.

>>54159099
The primer may have bonded to the plastic, in which case it may never come off. My advice would be to take a toothbrush to the bits of color, then paint over the primer.

>>54159254
>The primer may have bonded to the plastic
Well they have been sitting in my basement for the past 5 years so maybe that's it

>>54159254
>>54159295
Also that's the result of me brushing it with a toothbrush. Might need something a little tougher to get the rest off.

>>54159295
Try them in isopropyl alcohol. Imo most things super clean cant strip the alcohol will and vice versa.

>>54159355
Isn't that bad for plastic

>>54159370
Not at all in my experience. It will start to work in minutes but I've left gw plastics in for weeks without damage. Don't use it for resin of course but that's most paint strippers.

Even the thinnest spray primers are too thick once you get an airbrush.

Working on some Black Templars for 8th, decided to use assault marine legs for my crusader squads to give them a dynamic feeling.

Been a few years since I've really painted a lot of models, only done a handful of models for friends. Also, apologies for the low picture quality, my phone has a poor camera and my lighting setup is holding the pieces on a sheet of plasticard under my oven hood light.

I have to disagree. This place can be fucking brutal, and your shit is way better than a lot of shit that does get posted. It's only a hugbox for the stuff that's really good, they get their dicks sucked. Everyone else gets put to the torch for not being at least 8/10 most of the time.

Yeah, gonna put it up against the metal beam.

>>54160304
No kidding. I was illustrating a point with my models last thread and still got my shit kicked in. /wip/ isn't happy unless you spend 6 hours on a genestealer (but at least it won't look like crap then)

Posted this on /40kg/ but really I should have just posted here.

So, I've got new Seekers I need to make, and since I want them to be viable for fantasy I was thinking of sticking them on the square bases. They're a bit shorter than the rounds, though, so do I need to make some shit to sit them on or wrap around the bases to make them the right size, or can I get away with having them as-is?

>>54160800
your highlights are kinda shit. Thin your paint more and do highlights in multiple coats.
I'm not a fan of the color combinations, but on a technical level, the highlights are the only thing that's really not up to snuff.

>>54160800

It's simple, really; we kill the Night Haunter.

>>54160824
correct

>>54160788
paint those mushrooms. skin could use more color, too.

>>54160800
get that sock off your table and go clean your fucking house. >>54160850 is correct. Highlights are a little splotchy and on the green I can't even see them. Work on consistency.

>>54160848
>hemorrhoids
heh

>>54160400
Damn, I forget they had those! For the scarves, I think I'll try sculpting them around the back since I don't want to cover up the molded detail on the front. The medals seem like they would be easy enough to sculpt too.

The bitz list is:
>body, head, arms, and shovel from Warlord Games Winter Russians
>mace from the warhammer flagellant kit
>bolt pistol and "power pack" from the Cadian command squad kit
>backpack from the bullgryn kit

Also, you can solve your no third party minis problem by simply not having a GW store within 200 miles, like me!

>>54160848
Will work on the face I tried to use a needle for the mouth and goofed.
>>54160850
Hadent gotten to going over the highlights more will definitely do that. The pink ones are heat lances and the blue are blasters so I don't have to pick them up all the time. Will post results once stuff is altered though!

Hopefully after I clean it up, he'll look less like a rat and more like a really fucked-up cyber wolf. I like to imagine he was found after being REALLY near death, and they placed him in an iron lung or something.

I know, it was a bitch to get the pieces to stay in place. Also I can barely sculpt. I have a nurgle army so my green stuff is more used for slime than anything else.

Other than the fact his left arm appears to be hanging on by his shoulder pad alone, the assembly looks fine. On the painting, get some more practice then look in to getting a wash and some highlight colors for your paint scheme, also get some zandri dust and usabti bone for the purity seals.

Hey are you imperial fist anon from last thread? It turned out that I was using imperial primer, which turned out like pic attached. Some other anons suggested I get "Rustoleum Painter's Touch 2X" so I'm going to try that next. Also, I tried out your method but I think I need to go farther in thinning.

>>54161388
Actually it's just resting on his shoulder, his arm is attached by the forearm to his gun. It turned out pretty stable, and I'm proud I could get the pose I wanted seeing as I dont know any bending techniques yet.

>>54161391
Yup! So I've used Imperial Primer in the past (through I just spray prime these days) and I usually apply two thin coats of it because it can go on too thick. Looking at your pieces I see texture on the grenade (clip?) holding arm so I think the thick primer is compounding your probably thick paint.

>>54158138

Anyone? I'm leaning towards black since they're a bit darker

>>54161595
Do you have any grey? That'd honestly work the best. If not, I'd go with your gut and do black since that's what their shoulders are.

>>54161656

I have a grey, but it's either rustoleum or Krylon, and idk how well it matches GW grey

>>54161684
>>54161656

Also, I usually use that as an actual primer for resin/metal since GW sprays aren't technically a primer. My usual process is spray the grey and then black.

>>54161296
yes, but thats besides the point

Rebased some Fists onto the Sector Imperialis bases. I'm doing their bolters and shoulders as a batch next.

>>54161622
Generally speaking you want to look for a smooth, non-textured layer of primer and then you know you've got a good canvas for your paintjob. I never asked, but which Chapter are you doing?

>>54161702
I'd ust do black then; seems less complicated.

>>54161786
Actually a friend has been letting me paint up some of his old splines, so I've been doing them up as his chapter, Ultramarines. Not sure what I'll do when I start collecting myself though. Blood Angels maybe? (Or Blood Ravens if I want to use more than just Blood Red).

Do you know what water is and how to include it with paint to adjust consistency and flow from the brush?
Do you have a personal grudge against putting gear on the belts of marines?
Is there a reason you have given this man a horrible shoulder injury and left his army dangling by a thread from the top?
Whose balls is he trying to cup?
How fast can he hobble with a boltgun mag-locked to the entire length of his leg?
Are you using actual modeling paints or nonsense from a michaels?
Do you know what a wash is? You should use washes.
Do you know what a mold line is? You should remove them along with the pieces of sprue you failed to clean from the bits. Looking at you, top area of backpack.
Do you know how to put things on the base of a miniature so that they do not stand on a black pog?

>Do you know what water is and how to include it with paint to adjust consistency and flow from the brush?
Working on that
>Do you have a personal grudge against putting gear on the belts of marines?
Honestly, probably
>Is there a reason you have given this man a horrible shoulder injury and left his army dangling by a thread from the top?
Because I didn't have a spacer
>Whose balls is he trying to cup?
Not mine since I wouldn't use boiling water to fix that
>How fast can he hobble with a boltgun mag-locked to the entire length of his leg?
Probably pretty slowly since that's what's keeping his arm on
>Are you using actual modeling paints or nonsense from a michaels?
Citadel shit
>Do you know what a wash is? You should use washes.
I will use a wash on my next dude
>Do you know what a mold line is? You should remove them along with the pieces of sprue you failed to clean from the bits. Looking at you, top area of backpack.
I do and will pay more attention next time I'm cleaning
>Do you know how to put things on the base of a miniature so that they do not stand on a black pog?
I actually like the black bases. Put that lunacy up there with the scout knife and shoulder pouches though

I think he looks fantastic. Love the shield. As far as representing a crusader, I think you could have gone a bit harder with the space bits for his weapons to make them more power-weapony but keeping it simple is better aesthetically so I get it. I would maybe consider doing a glow effect on the blade?

Good call on the extra support.
Flimsy model still has me using the classic metal.

Apparently this middle aged british guy who I know used to work for GW back in the day so if you find some old white dwarf magazines that feature some armies with weird as fuck colouring just know that he was colourblind. He never bothered telling them since he thought they were a bunch of jews and whenever he was asked about his weird choices he said something along the lines of him feeling inspired.

>>54162397
Hrm. Cool. Maybe I'll try it out. I'm particularly interested I the Tartaros shoulders since not even FW has any, though I would also need to get transfers anyway.

How well do you think the icons you need to glue on yourself look? You get 60 of them for like $18 and it feels like a much better buy.

>>54162288
Yup, I agree, but non space marine power sword arms are nonexistent. As for the futuristic edge, his torso and legs are of genestealer neophyte stock, the shield just hid all of it.
>Show me the rest of your Inquisition things please.
Sorry to say he's still the first of the posse. The others will have the neophyte torso and legs, but the head and arms will differ for each. I'm working on a Fenrisian crusader with horned helmet and a broadsword with muscular bare arms next.

>>54160656
Yes, you are. Acceptable comic book Hellion homages include Green Goblin, Hobgoblin, Demogoblin or any other permutation on the "guy that fights Spider-Man on a flying bat rocket" that Marvel's done over the years.

>>54162532 has enumerated the acceptable list of hellion homages. Green goblin would have been very cool and doable and would have matched your scheme. You could even have used a harlequin mask and GS'd a hood and... and... You're a monster! You're a monster, anon!

Rat Cyberwolf-anon here, I want to pursue custom models for units like "chaos spawn". Apart from making sure they are on the same size base, and the same size as the actual model, what should I take into consideration?

>>54158657
>>54122973

Looks pretty great anon! My only suggestion would be to do something additional to the weapons. Right now I think it looks too flat with just the bland silver.

What about doing a much darker metal as a base, and then applying the silver highlights in brush strokes away from the blades edges to makes it look much more savage and brutish.

Or just some sort of wash to bring out the recesses and details?

>>54162951
you missed a mold line on the spikey mace

>>54157824
So with dettol, scrub them without water to remove ALL the paint residue first.
We've all made this mistake.
Metholated spirits can be bought at poundland or any supermarket. That will remove the sticky residue with a quick dunk and rinse.
I've been told it's safe on the plastic, but make it brief just to be safe.

I am thinking of making a display/carrying base for my army to quickly and safely move it, as it has a lot of models of varying heights that don't fit neatly in a carrying case.

I was thinking of getting a thin sheet of steel, texturing and painting the top with some wood around the edges, then putting magnets in the bases of all the models (73 in total)

Has anyone done anything like this?

>>54163217
Magnetic movement trays were (are) very common with warhammer fantasy players so I recommend you look there on how to do it best.

Looks like a steel sheet is the way to go if I can get one in a non-huge size, and then just buy a bunch more of the rare earth magnets I've been using for everything else.

I also saw some tutorials that recommenced steel foil applied to wood or plastic, but I live near several hardware stores so a steel sheet will be much easier to get.

What colours would you use to get the armour on these guys? I'm thinking of starting a Tau army, I like the look of this scheme (probably gonna do green fatigues though).

>>54164525
VGC Earth, Khaki, Bonewhite and Deadwhite.
Maybe Charred Brown for the blacklining on the armor.
Sombre Grey for the grey parts.

How I'd paint it:
>base armor Charred Brown
>layer Earth, but leave Charred Brown in the recesses
>edge highlight Khaki.

>base fatigues Khaki
>layer Bonewhite, but leave Khaki in the recesses
>edge highlight Deadwhite

>base armor and gloves with black (VGC or any other)
>mix 1:1 sombre grey and do a broad edge highlight
>use pure sombre grey to do sharp edge highlights

VGC is what I have at the moment, but also they are close color matches to old GW colors.

>>54164563
Thanks dude, this is a big help!

I'm thinking of having the fatigues a bit like this (quick photoshop mockup), and maybe changing the sept stripes to a dark red, the blue doesn't really work.

>>54164609
If you're going for accurate lore, the sept stripes should always be of the same recognizable color

>>54164659
Yeah, I'd make all the Sept iconography red, I just think the blue will look kinda hideous, especially when it's covering a whole shoulderpad.

>>54164609
>I'm thinking of having the fatigues a bit like this
I'd say that looks a lot like VGC camouflage green.
So you could just switch Khaki and Bonewhite with Cayman Green and Camouflage green. Though Cayman is a bit darker than your shadows there.

A quick look at the GW color chart looks like Death World Forest and Elysian Green would give you a similar result with GW colors.

If you make the stripes red I'd consider a different color for the lenses though.

>desperatly looking for a Citadel primer alternative

Life is suffering.

>>54164699
Yeah you are right. Looks pretty solid actually.

The sept markings have a bit more brown in them than the lenses though. More of a terracotta.
If you go pure red on the sept marking that may look a bit too aggressive against the armor.
I'm just theorycrafting here though, you can just try it in photoshop.

What are your plans for basing? Swamp, forest or jungle? Anything like that?

>>54164736
Army Painter is around half the price of GW stuff I think.
And you get a lot out of it. One can should last for over 50 28mm miniatures easily.

And you can buy matching basetones with it too.

Not as cheap as stuff from a DIY store, but still.

If you are in Germany Brückenkopf has an article about spraypaints from Toom.

>>54164746
I was thinking forest, but swamp isn't something I'd considered, that could look pretty cool.

>>54164766
>If you are in Germany Brückenkopf has an article about spraypaints from Toom.

Perfect. I have a can of grey Army Painter and am severly dissapointed by it, the spray head is gushing paint like no tommorow which resulted in too thick, uneven coats. Maybe it's a bunk can because I've read pretty much only praise about AP primers but I'm reluctant to purchase another can.

How is the Mechanicus Grey GW primer compared to the standard black one (with which I have had no problems ever)?

>>54164845
The only issue I've noticed with the AP cans I've had is that some seem to have tiny leaks at the bottom. Could be from rough handling, but so far I've noticed it on two of the cans I've had.
Nothing major, you just end up with a wad of paint on the bottom of the can, but still... kind of freaked me out the first time I noticed it. It's a pressurized container after all.

Aside from that they are pretty good. Never had an issue with them.
When I use a spray can I usually do several thin coats rather than one thick one.

>>54163926
I like the muted green you've got. You need to make the barrel hole a little bigger and remove the extra plastic around the hole with tweezers or a knife if you have to. The purple looks too clean and new for an ork to wear it, his belt buckle looks sloppy and flat, the pants need better camo than that. Even if you want it to look orky, there are better ways than just putting down a bad paint job. The checks and dags are sloppy. For some reason orks can make checks and dags right but nothing else. Don't ask me why, I'm just calling it how I see it.

>>54163971
You've slopped the white part of the helmet onto the black part. The blue looks really dull, but you could probably change that moving forward. I really like the way that blade looks, though. Odd that you would hide the only good part, but from what I can see it looks good.

>>54164733
Neat. Looks like a Mantis Warrior.

>>54164700
Im a filthy mobile poster so I used an app called photo editor.

>>54164102
It needs more width. Add some shoota gantries to the sides.

Those eyes look like they're glowing but the glowing effect ends suddenly and goes back to the whites of the eyes. It doesn't look right. And I'm not talking "doesn't look right" in a good way, I mean it looks cartoony. The boils are too solid and flat. One technique I've seen is painting them yellow, then applying a red wash, paint, or technical paint to them, and then wiping the top off to create a pussy center. That looks like what you did, kind of, but the boils need more blood surrounding them. The maggots are also the same color as the tumors and that's fine if you're speed painting and just want to get this tabletop ready but if you want my criticism there it is.

>>54165037
The horns need more highlights (drybrushing) and it looks like you didn't paint the teeth at all,

>>54165256
Those technical paints that people put on bases.

>>54165257
What are you using to transfer? Don't use water.

>>54165257
With round transfers I found that cutting a straight line from the outside to the center is the only workable solution.
Also, looks pretty nice except for the lenses. You should consider doing either a glowing effect or paint an actual lense.

I actually did the teeth in pure white, the wash muted it too much. Thanks for the input.

>>54165294
They seem to kind of take the shape of the thing on the transfer. The round one was actually less of a pain than the bloody arrow.
As for the glow effect, that was originally the plan, but it looked silly and I was getting tired so I decided to tone it down. I will probably try again at some point.

I dunno, I kinda think what makes /wip shit are people like you guys - someone fucking ANGRY about other people sucking who also happens to have the thickest, messiest highlights, and the fucking third worlders who are on fucking dialup and want everyone else to know.

>>54165809
Sorry if this sounds harsh, but you really, really need to work on your edge highlights.
Some of the lines on this thing look like the brush was half dry while you were painting. What is going on there?

>>54165809
Clean up your highlights. Like, a lot. Right now they look splotchy to the point they seem more like random blots of paint than actual highlights.

Thin the paint you are using to highlight slightly more than usual, then carefully apply it onto the area with as few strokes as you can. The highlights should look continuous, and they should be thin. They are there to draw attention to the detail, rather than being the detail themselves.

>>54165809
>>54165848
Yeah, that's just sloppy. Keep practicing, getting the ratio of water to paint correct when edge highlighting successfully takes time.

I used some ink to make the blue coat less monotonous and also worked on the soulstones, and also corrected some small details

What do you think now ? Should I try and put more different shades of blue to make the coat less dull ? I could also try to paint runes but I'm not too confident with this

>>54167007
The coat definitely needs some soft highlights on the creases and the edges. Try mixing your base blue with the next most bright, and getting a nice inbetween that will subtly stand out.

>>54167007
Yeah you should continue to work on the coat. It's kinda hard since the only real way to have a nice tissue is to apply a lot of layer, going more and more toward a lighter tone, same for the shadow but with a darker tone.

Don't rush it, add slighty more white to your painting, it can take half a dozen layers to have a nice coat, especially since this model's coat doesn't have deep folds.

Armor is 75/25 russian uniform and bright green. Athonian camoshade went on the armor and the smoke. Agrax on everything else. Highlights are just lighter version colors, I think you get the idea.

It's typhus corrosion mix wash,the goal is a cast iron look.
It's not nearly as grainy in person.

>>54158138
I've done about 120 Carcharodons at this point, I primed them grey, did a super coat of Vallejo black wash over that. Then I used Vallejo Neutral Grey as 2 drybrush stages. The first was more a layer than a drybrush, but you know what I mean. So grey, black wash, grey, less grey. Shoot me an email at kiltedbruce@gmail, and I'll send you some pictures when I get back home. And I'd love to hear what you're doing for exile marks and tattoos.

>>54169557
All we're saying is it's like painting Khorne stuff blue. Not /wrong/, but really different.

>>54167663
Looks great.

Just one tiny thing. Maybe do more highlights on the collar, or paint it brass.

>>54169600
I ay be wrong, but I distinctly remember a white armoured death guard warband being canon in one of the older csm codices

White contagion lord guy here.
I appreciate the feedback, but anon, don't devolve into nuances about armor just yet.
I want to keep my armor somewhat clean l, while gri.ier than loyalist chspters. But good points were raised. This is a nurgle lord, so I should probably dirty up the armor some more. And I will with some typhus and agrax, but I'm going to try and keep it to recesses mostly as I don't want to lose the color too much.
And for reference, here's more of my dudes.
I originally wanted to go undivided, but marks, death guard, and alpha legion are so damn fun.

>>54169717
Looks pretty simple.
1 white primer
2 basecoats. Light blue, stone, steel, red, tiny stuff.
3. Drybrush Blues, and stone. Highlight reds,
4. Blue wash, sepia wash, black wash, red wash.
5. Re-highlight and do eyes etc.

>>54167663

>>54167606
I don't know if it's the photo but I think that model would look better if the tire was a lighter grey.

Still a nice model.

Who else can't even colour within the lines here?

Incompetence aside - I'm aware of my most glaring problems and basically need practise - how's my colour scheme? Not sure what to do with the hands to break up the blob of silver in the middle. More red doesn't feel right.

And yes, picking yellow as a noob was a mistake.

don't know about assembly, but Painting won't be an issue, because this models got a very limited number of colours.

I honestly reckon it'd only take about 3 hours to paint ( of actual painting, not drying)

>>54169277
It looks well painted, just the white falls into the same problems as always where it looks flat.

>>54170066

Need to thin the paints more; for yellow you may need to do 3-10 layers of thin coats to make it look good.

Add washes to give depth; color scheme works well, yellow is bright but when washed will be toned down!

Okay, bit of dirtying and touchups made, highlighted the black, might have overdone the blood.

>>54170197
Apparently I don't. I accidentally resized that pic too small and replaced the original like an idiot. Never phone post images.
>>54170327
I started painting these guys when I was shittier (still kinda shit) and haven't wanted to go back and redo them. I agree on white. It's a bitch and a half if you ask me. Why I wanted it across two damn armies I'll never understand.

>>54170066
The scheme works, to break it up you could darken either the gun or the guys cybernetics. Basically just have one or the other with a brighter metal, while the other would have a darker one. Maybe mix some blue wash in with nuln oil for the gun.

>>54170433
>thin the paints more
Yeah, that's one of the main things I need to work on. Really struggling to get it thin enough without being a wash. Though that one guy's back is really weirdly grainy.

>toned down
Why would I want that? I didn't pick yellow to skulk around in the shadows. I've washed the armour though, and will do the gun.

I'd rather have less saturation than less brightness. Can I do that other than by using other paints or mixing?

Oh, and what about the base? Apparently goblin green is out of fashion for some reason.

>>54170947
Hmm, a slightly blue wash on the gun might help pick it out. Thinking about doing some spots in copper, or might save that for the alpha.

So I'm getting my first spray paint primer, and could only find grey. That won't fuck me over, right? Also, I should stay about a foot away and be careful while applying, right?

>>54171234
I have that one, I use it in place of black. Also have a can of white for brightly colored stuff. I try and keep a foot or so away, but my area is windy and it gets annoying.

>>54171234
>and could only find grey
I find extremely difficult to believe that there was no black

>>54171278
There were about a hundred colors, but they were all paint + primer, instead of just primer like I wanted. They only had grey and cherrywood red under actual primer.

spray in short bursts moving over the model. start left (or) right of the model, move across it and stop spraying. Never start a pass while aiming directly at it.

it really pisses me off that I cant get my DA like the ones on the dark vengeance box. I dont know how 'eavy metal did them but theyre my perfect dark angel goal. Duncan's guide for DV marines were basic as hell and the citadel guide is lame too. Every dark angel ive seen IRL looks too much like a salamander or too close to pure black

I have a resin model from Raging Heroes, but I don't feel like priming it with a spray can like they say you should in the paper it comes with. It's my first resin model, so is it really not that big a deal and I can prime it by hand, or will the model explode if I don't use spray-on?

>>54171703
it basically needs long experience in painting to be this good
but I have found this guide, it may help you
http://taleofpainters.blogspot.co.at/2012/04/tutorial-how-to-paint-like-eavy-metal.html

>>54171884
one thing that really kills me is how they did the highlight on the beak without making it look like it has a sharp edge

>>54171875
priming by hand is certainly possible. I would give the model a good wash to be sure that it's free from mold-release or the paint might not stick to it at all.

>>54171234
I used it once, and had a hell of a hard time telling where I had coverage and where I didnt. Depending on the shade, it's nearly indistinguishable from the plastic itself.

I like that brand, though. Went on thin enough for me to prime them over again with black

>>54172063
That was the first thing I did when I got it in the mail. I mean, I know -some- stuff about resin, like how to reshape it and that you have to wash it off, but I didn't know there was evidently a particular way to prime it. But thanks mandude. Sounds like there wont be any issue if I just slap my white primer on it.

>>54172212
It certainly should create much of an issue. Assuming you're not using corrosive paint (why would anyone do such a thing), it won't harm the resin any more than it would plastic, ie. not at all.

>>54172281
Shouldn't*
