I painted some Reaper ghouls last night. Basecoated them in VGC Dead flesh and then mixed 2:1 Dead flesh:Black as shade with a drop of flow improver and future floor wax with 3 drops of H20. The effect came out crackly, and the shade didn\'t seem to dry effectively. Some of it dried on the...

Looking for some good orc skin recipies using VGC paints. Any suggestions?

I\'m on the verge of buying some W&N Series 7 brushes, but my technique for cleaning my current brushes still leaves me with hook tips. I use a Loew Cornell brush cleaner and water to get the paint out. Any suggestions or method changes? Thanks.

This ceramic/clay material, scultpty, comes in a green box, seems more workable than greensuff, although you need to put it in the over for 15 min in order for it to harden. Works great for bases though. Just wondering if anyone else has used it.

I need help with how to sculpt waves and flames for a couple of elemental bases. Any good tutorials or suggestions. Thanks.:flip:

Does anyone have experience with cutting off the round bases that usually come with the Reaper Dark Legends mini line, to put them on the Rackham-like bases? I\'m trying to figure out how to pin a finished mini in that style. Also if there are any sites that have good pinning insturctions...

Is it possible to wet-blend effectively w/out a wet-pallet?

I had an idea to make my layering smoother and wanted to bounce it around this forum: What about layering using glaze-like thinned paint. (10:1) ratio as your layers vs. the conventional 5:1? Has anyone tried this, is it a valid idea or just a waste of my time. Thanks.

How long do you all let your layers dry between applications of paint. What is the time span between highlights for example? Thanks.

I\'m looking for some good metallic metal recipies using VGC or VMC. Any suggestions would be great thanks.

anyone have some good leather recipies using either VGC or VMC? :|~

Do you think people level off in this hobby, i.e. they reach a certain level of quality and cannot go above it. Can we all paint figures as well as they do in the Rackham catalog? Just curious....

Ok, I\'ve been trying to higlight/shade this Reaper death shroud figure using VMC Burnt Cad Red as my base. But my layers still apper chalky and right on top of each other. Here\'s my process and let me know if I need to change things. I shaded w VMC red/black and hull red. Highlighted with VMC...

I\'d like to print a basing article, but I don\'t want the words in the right margin cut off. How do I do it? Thanks. :|~

I heard using Plaster a paris is one way to sculpt bases, but I\'ve not personally tried it. I have tried Green stuff, which was difficult to use. (I tried sculpting a cobblestone base.) Any tips on which material, or one that I did not mention, works best? :bouncy:

For the more experienced painters out there: Does it get to a point where you stop using certain techniques, i.e. do you stop layering for wet-blending, or is most every technique useable in some form or another. Just another one of my random questions.

I\'ve noticed in other posts that the VGC line does not need as much thinning for layering and blending as does VMC. If this is true, how thin does it need to be for these techniques? 1:2, 1:3, 1:4? Just curious. Thanks. :|~

I\'m looking for a Prince August, Fantasy line, stock # CH30 Bearfos Fighter model, long oop. In the blister or out, it doesn\'t matter. Thanks. :flame:

I\'m looking for suggestions about different highlight combinations for VMC German Green #920. I\'m attempting to paint a Drizzit-like elf character,and want to get the dark green effect that I see in artist\'s renderings. I have shaded from the basecolor to black in the deep recesses. Any...
