hungerfan Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) Re: Meep Very weird seeing this word used as much as I do these days. My wife has always used it for usernames and stuff at times and even named her site http://www.meepworks.com because she liked it so much. :) Edited July 8, 2013 by hungerfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintminion Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Our small writer's group is called The Hill Hunters of Meep. I remember hearing and saying meep in high school in the early 80's. Anne taught it to my daughter when she was little and we've used it ever since. There are article about the word being banned from certain schools - people use it instead of swear words. "What the meep?" is acceptable in our house. It is not to be confused with Gleep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dks Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Another paint question: Some paints dry on my palette to a more rubbery and cohesive patch that I can simply peel off the palette (examples: Golden Shadow, Linen White), while others dry as a brittle mass that falls apart to tiny crumbs when I scrape the dried paint off the palette (examples: Chestnut Gold, Russet Brown, Military Green). Is this related to the type of base, the ratio of base to pigment, or something else? Derek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom T Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 . . . So having been on the inside of all the toxic hobby paint hullabaloo, I will insist you not lick your chemically treated weasel butt fur and lacquered brushes, or any brushes for that matter, don't eat the paint, don't use body parts as paint palettes, don't eat your old lead minis, use a professional mask when spraying chemicals, and myself and many others who have dealt with health problems because of bad hobby habits will be happier. Again, I verify that Reaper makes some pretty awesomely safe paint products, as do most of the companies making our paints these days. Any paint you've been keeping alive since 2005, please just give it up, and get something new! Back to your regular paint meeper, Anne... Big Thanks to Anne, this is a Great thread! and I am learning a lot from you and from other forum members. I really appreciate that. But I want to take a second and echo paintminion. Seriously, whether you're new or have been painting for decades, please take some time and really think about all of your handling, cleaning, priming, painting and sealing methods and habits. Before Bones my first Love was Lead I started buying and collecting Lead figures in the 70's and I've got a lot of Lead. Now that I'm a bit >ahem< older it's gloves on for every step until they're sealed with primer. Spray priming or sealing? Wear a real particulate and vapor respirator. What, maybe $30, then about $15 for the replacement canister filters after 40 hours of use? (Stick a label or tape on 'em and make a hash mark every time you use 'em. When you get to 20 or 30 get new filters 'cause you wanna be paranoid safe.) Take a minute and read those labels. You only get one set of lungs and one brain. If you're spraying outdoors, or airbrushing without true active ventilation, unprotected and you smell anything it's already in you and most of the chemicals and compounds in spray primers/sealers are Really Seriously Nasty. (I suspect that Anne will agree that inhaling airbrushed Reaper paint is not an intended use.) Hand or fingers as a painting device/palette/whatever? Skin's not a palette; it's a semi-permeable membrane. Licking or shaping your brushes with you lips or tongue? O! Mucous membranes! Learn to flick! (That one used to be, I hope, my worst personal painting habit ~ but back then it was to re-shape a brush after soap and water cleaning. Not a good idea.) Safety Rant off. Thanks for your patience. Just hope you'll think about it . . . Anne, does Reaper have some kind of here's how to do it right ('safe practices') info available? I'm pretty much a newcomer to Reaper (and am Very Impressed by all of you!),and I don't know if you all already have one that I haven't found yet. If you do I'd really like to learn more; so could someone please point me to it? If you don't, would Reaper consider doing a kind of of 'public service' good practices info-thing? Maybe include it in your LTPKs if you don't already? And if something like that already exists, Thank You Reaper! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talae Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 What paint colors do you suggest I purchase next (I own the five LTPKs and three of the paint sets from the Kickstarter - not the sci fi one)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talae Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Are there any insights that you can give us on Bones (or other) LTPKs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggart Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 What current MSP Paints are closest to Clear Viridian and Clear Plum. Mine are all out. (If there is nothing that matches could you give me an artist grade paints equivalent?) RAFM still has a few bottles of both. I just received an order of OOP paints and they seem in good conditions (just by shaking the bottles, haven't actually tried the paints yet).

MonkeySloth Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) Or toxic weasels.Given the nature of the brushes most-commonly licked, wouldn't that more likely be toxic Russian weasel butts?Can Toxic Russian Weasel Butt be a limited edition paint? If the label said "It's buglips approved!" I'd consider covering the cost of the batch myself. Edited July 9, 2013 by MonkeySloth 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captenglish Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Easy, two part question: 1) do entrail pink and porcelain rose go together and 2) are we going to get the blush triad back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowRaven Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I so want a 'Moose and Squirrel' paint set now. Thanks Buglips. Now, watch me pull a rabbit out of a hat...... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashWiley Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I'm working through Anne and Jen's Dark Sword DVDs, I highly recommend the set. Good instruction, but maybe just as valuable, lots of banter about a wide variety of (mostly) painting subjects, including a lot of things touched on in this thread. I chuckled when Anne was talking about new painters struggling with white and avoiding it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Swartzmiller Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Anne I have a rather interesting question for you, one that I haven't seen or overlooked anyway...Is there anything I can either add to my paints to get a reaction to black lights? or something I could apply after my mini is painted in order to get that effect? Reason being is I plan on painting a group of kobolds that will be possessed and I wanted glowing eyes and if I can find something that works it would be very helpful in my future projects. Thank you for your time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
