Talae Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I know very little when it comes to this hobby and am a beginner through and through. That being said, I feel like I am fighting my brush more than anything. I painted this one mostly with a Games and Gears Pro #2. I also drybrushed with the Red Sable #2 that came in the LTPK.

Talae Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Nothing made a bigger difference in my enjoyment of the hobby than a good brush. I just placed an order for a W&N Series 7 #0 and a #2 with some Pink Soap. Thanks for pushing me over the edge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talae Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Continuing with my Games and Gears #2, despite not being a huge fan of it (I did find that using very little paint at a time helps to keep the point a little longer, but still not great). Here are my rat WIP shots so far: **I even through in a surprise that my G&G Pro #2 threw me mid paint job as a bonus** 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talae Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Oh, snap. Your post made me start to laugh and then feel like crying. It was crazy. The brush just fell apart when I went to dip it in the paint. I pushed it back on after the pic and finished what I was doing. I then took a break to post these and am now debating whether I need to send an image to G&G directly.

gamesngears Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Nice paint job. Send us over a PM via Kickstarter so we can sort it out :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talae Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Much of my time was eaten up by putting together a thought out PM for GnG about the brushes, but I did manage to finish all of step 3 but the ears.

Maredudd Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Hi Folks! I ordered an L2PK1 today and hope to tackle it later this week or early next week. I've run through this thread and am looking forward to trying the kit in an effort to, well, figure out how to paint minis, especially as I have a load of Bones heading my way as part of the last wave of Bones KS Shipments. I do have a question though . . . In many of the pictures I see the minis have been attached to soda bottle caps. I saw a post where someone use superglue, but what I'm seeing is what looks some kind of putty holding the minis to the caps. What material does everyone use for this?

Malynor Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 That putty looking stuff is poster tack (bluetack, sticky tack, etc) it's pretty cheap and can be picked up at a lot of different stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanguad Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I prefer museum putty, which is basically the same thing but I find holds a LOT better than blue tack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maredudd Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Cool! Thanks folks! I've checked a few local places and will pick up something tomorrow I think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashWiley Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I like the hold of superglue, but it was messing up the bottom of my models, I'd have to go back and pop it off with a knife, file off any excess and then repaint the lip of the base. Poster tack (I use DAP brand currently) is way better, but every now and again the mini pops off. So far not tragic, but it happened at the start of my last session with the pirate queen and my heart skipped a beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungerfan Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Yeah the poster tack I got from Scotch is not bad but I have had issues with my L2PK1 minis coming off. If I overlapped the stuff on the mini base it did a better job but just sticking it down on the tack was having little luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanguad Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I don't know if this applies to poster tack, but the museum putty specifically mentioned that you should rotate the item in the putty to create suction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
