This just made my morning, so cute!!!! Well done!

Golden acrylics make some spiffy interference colors that shift between shades which can be fun to experiment with and have a metallic sheen to them. Pebeo I think makes some as well. With both paint companies I would thin them a good amount before applying. For metal metals, I've used GW & Reaper metallics, thin down alot, with several layers built up. You could try using flow improver, or medium with water, to make it last longer on a wet palette, but not sure if it would affect the metal flakes, probably not.

I've used crackle paint that I liked from Michael's, called 'Distress Crackle Paint Clear Rock Candy' (pretty sure it's not candy, I will doublecheck tho, I really hope it isn't haha!). I used it more for an ice effect over an already painted area, & it dried clear with some delicate crackle effect. I think Golden paint also has a crackle medium too though I haven't tried it. I think from your experiments I like the pva glue result the best. What about the cracks air dry clay would make, (though maybe unstable over time), or maybe doing an impression into sculpey or green stuff? Just a thought. I like the effects you got!

Hello :) Not sure I'm posting this in the correct area, (apologies if I didn't), but it is fantasy and a really cool sculpt, albeit not miniature per se. The video has some interesting shots of in progress work. The final result looks really amazing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeozljBmJTw&feature=youtu.be&utm_source=ActiveCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Double+Down+on+Darkness&utm_campaign=Dark+Galadriel+Video+%2B+Dark+Crystal+Pre-order

Not sure if they would count as a hummingbirds swarm but maybe it will help for reference pic, and it's a cute topper in Rocket League:

Fort Benning SG unlocked, including the awesome mini of Dale's RV!!! *cheers wildly!*

Just a heads up, still 7 hours left to join the kickstarter if any was on the fence. And Riot Gear Glenn, Michonne's pet walkers, Rick in a hospital gown, well walkers, and Dale's RV!!!! miniatures have been unlocked! (And of course the accompanying game mechanics with those). I've never been so excited about an RV before! :)

*Cheers!* Michonne's walker pets officially unlocked!! There are also some spiffy new SG's of well walkers and a mini of Dale's RV both with game mechanics! :)

Riot Gear Glenn unlocked!! YES! And getting closer to unlocking Michonne's walker pets!

Aww yeah! Also... for those interested in the kickstarter, the Governor and Morgan (w/ staff) have been unlocked. There is a darn spiffy stretch goal that awards Michonne's pets too.

The Governor has unlocked! And hopefully Morgan soon to follow!

Absolutely beautiful work!

Thanks everyone! And thank you again Ced1106 for reposting to BGG! Regarding the quality of the figures, the ones I painted were resin masters. I haven't personally seen the final figures material in person, but I think they will be good. Particularly because AMC was overseeing the likeness factor so heavily on the master sculpts. I can't imagine they would go through all that effort to release a final product that wasn't up to par. I do wish I had had abit more time for painting and was better at photography :). And in retrospect I should have photographed before starting as well to share more of the progress. But ah well. The clear bases don't come with the game, I made them separately as I found in the course of painting some of the duplicates were to be given to the actors. I was afraid with the masters being so delicate they would break on them.

Thanks for posting more of the info Ced1106! :)
