[How complicated are you?]

I got vampire, the paint sets, and I think that was it, I'm really old, and that was a long time ago!

[Hard to get paint out of the reaper dropper bottles?]

I bought some reaper and some vallejo game/model paints... The vallejo comes out nicely with a little pressure. The reaper paints take a ton of work to get out even the smallest drop... I've cleared the nozzle, so I know it isn't that... Any suggestions?

[Tutorial for the red-head triad?]

And what about using a 005 sakura micron pen for blacklining?

[Tutorial for the red-head triad?]

So, (and maybe this should be its own thread), why liner instead of a wash?

[Assimilation Alien Host... Yep another Kickstarter...]

Yeah, those are pretty neat bases @ .50 ea. And only 4 left ;)

[Tutorial for the red-head triad?]

Hope this helps you some. If you would like and if you can not find a tutorial I will try to do a quick work in progress on red hair with the triad as that is what I almost always use when painting red hair.

 

This would be appreciated.

[Tutorial for the red-head triad?]

I know the basics of basecoat, midtone, highlight, but I'm having some difficulty figuring out placing on hair highlights, and was wondering if anyone had a tutorial out there... Or suggestions on hair.

[Cheapest kolinsky sable brushes?]

Where is the best/cheapest place to buy kolinsky sable brushes (with s&h figured into the cost)?

I'm in the US.

[Ravenloft Dracolich]

I've got the mini, and it isn't too apparent to me... Maybe I should prime it and wash it, then it may be more apparent to me...

[Second "Batch" of paints...]

I am buying a second "batch" of paints, and I would like some suggestions.

 

My first "batch" consisted of red (ink) oops, yellow, blue, green, white, black, bone/off-white, silver, brown, and a 'dwarf' flesh.

 

My second batch will consist of an actual red paint, a reaper hd yellow, a purple, orange, a gold, a lighter flesh color, a really light "mithril" silver, a highlight for my blue, green, yellow, red, and a flesh wash.

 

I have a really good black wash I made, and a not-so-gread brown wash.

 

Any thoughts on other colors I should maybe get?

 

I also have a spray primer I'm basically happy with, and a spray-on matte sealer.

[Ravenloft Dracolich]

I have the mini, and I can't figure out how you sussed out what is flesh and what is bone... Any suggestions? And did I just use the word "sussed"?

[A yellow that only takes one or two coats?]

Does such a thing exist?

[US Paints shipping eta?]

I wasn't attempting to spark any fires or upset anyone. I am sorry that international backers will not be getting anything until March, I'm just concerned about when I will.

 

rpm has to be done first. and dont spark the fire anymore dude. they will prolly send it in march anyways.

[Rebasing Bones?]

Are the bingo chips really big enough?

 

Would these work well? http://www.craftpart...html?cat_id=281

Yup. I used a lot of these, but ultimately I didn't like the bases being brighter than my other (black based) miniatures. I now prefer these, but other options include: Litko bases, Games Workshop, Wargames foundry, pennies and (as mentioned) Wooden Circles.

[Rebasing Bones?]

Does anyone know a decent online supplier for washers with reasonable shipping?

[US Paints shipping eta?]

I know the international painters will need to wait until March (sorry guys). When should US folks be expecting shipping on the paints?

[Other flesh tones/colors?]

So, aliens, demons, orcs aside, for a caucasian human, what are people's 'go to' skintones?

[Rebasing Bones?]

Would these work well?

 

http://www.craftparts.com/wood-circle-disc-p-3837.html?cat_id=281

 

They seem pretty inexpensive, also!

[Other flesh tones/colors?]

I've purchased the four paint sets from the kickstarter... What other flesh tones should I purchase?

[Shadowrun 4th Edition]

I know this is a little old, but are you still looking for players?

[KS Inspired Painting Spree!!]

Badoctor, are those 'dipped'?

 

 

I am having a hard time remembering which figs I did during the KS as opposed to after the KS. I did not find out about KS until mid August, so I'll start the list there:

 

bones minotaur

bones bugbear

reaper medusa

reaper Indian shaman

LOTR Gollum

 

15 figures from the megaminis King's Court collection that I have had sitting around since Christmas.

bones bugbear, modded (september)

Current total 21 with another 2 works in progress that may be completed tonight. A few of the completed ones shown below:

[Cheap way to practice painting pre-March?]

I'll be getting the paint sets soon (as soon as the rpm is out, anyway), and I was wondering what people suggested doing for painting practice pre-March. I'm pretty awful when it comes to painting, so I started on some of my son's little green army men... Not really enough detail to get decent practice.

 

I'd like to get a good cross-section of figures without paying much as I'll be getting way more minis than I could ever paint come March.

 

Just something cheap to help me practice different techniques before I'm actually painting...
