You could try a thinned oil paint wash. "Paint" a light layer of odorless spirits over the are first, and then apply the black oil wash. Once it has cured for 20-30 minutes you can go back in with a cotton swab or a clean brush dipped in spirits to tidy up. Acrylic paints should not be reactivated by the spirits if they are fully cured, but if you used an enamel clear top coat it might.

Maybe add page numbers?

3d printing is not the for faint of heart, or maybe just not for the ignorant. I did not know you should run a cleaning filament through before changing to a new material. I do know that now AND how to change the nozzle assembly. 🤪

I really like to use the GW Uruk Hai models for hobgoblins. They are truer to the 28mm scale, but I just like the look, very military.

I've been using "Mr Hobby Color Fading Prevention Finishing Spray Mr Super Clear Matt" (B523Y) for about a year now and am very happy with it. It dries very matte, even more so than Dullcote, and the protection seems on par. It is a little more expensive at ~$12 USD for 130g, vs Dullcote at ~$6 USD for 85g. It even smells like Dullcote.

Something wicked this way comes... oh, wait, it's just the end of the thread in the distance. Unrelated, I thought I saw an announcement regarding the 2022 Ghoulie bags, but now I cannot find it.

It's so quiet, almost like most posters are busy somewhere, doing... something... together. 😏

But it seems to be a fine substitute if you cannot find Dullcote. Safety seems about the same, use outside or with good ventilation and a respirator, stay away from open flames while spraying.

Origins Game Fair is a bit subdued this year, but much better than last year. And my game sessions of the D&D Adventure Board Game are full. Even got to try a demo of Lost Ruins of Arnak. I'm still bemused that I bought $78 worth of game bits (meeples, coins, cubes, gems, etc.).

Prime/basecoat black or dark blue-gray, heavy dry brush medium gray, light dry brush with an ivory. Use a wash of black and brown thinned with acrylic medium or PVA glue and water.

So someone, or more likely several someone's, have acquired my identifying information and has tried to open several credit card accounts. We have a service that monitors our credit agency inquiries and shut each attempt down the same day, and have now frozen our credit with all three agencies. As a form of petty revenge, the rapscallions have signed us up for a slew of mailing lists from commercial web sites. I think it's time to sunset my main email account and move everything to another. Oh, bother.

So the final results are in and Reaper came in 2nd, just behind Vallejo. I do wonder if the result was influenced by the painters having used Vallejo for years and being more comfortable with them. I use both lines, and I do have to say Vallejo metallic paints are superior, but Reaper does have the awesome clear brights.

I don't think they differentiated between MSP and Bones paint lines; it looked like they acquired samples of each line of paints and starting head-to-head comparisons.

YouTuber Squidmar Miniatures is doing a multi-episode paint brand show down, and is including Reaper MSP. Spoilers, RMSP won it's first round. Looking forward to how the rest of the brackets go. https://youtu.be/KpZ7lFR1QPQ

Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave.
