Cut\'s both ways - yes, it will speed up drying and you can get away with it sometimes........but, some paints don\'t like getting dried too fast and you can end up with bubbling. If you can set the dryer on NO heat, just blowing air, that would do you just fine. Also, with heat, you may end up deforming a plastic mini.

Yup, as Shawn said, can be very usefull, I use it to speed up drying times of washes and basecoats etc. but only on metal minis. And as he also said, be carefull to apply the paint well in the first place, as you can get annoying little airbubbles in crevasses and the like. So my advice would be to keep the heat to a minimum and not blow it right close to the mini.

It will work for juicing, but with juicing you should have the paint so thin that as soon as you brush a layer on it starts drying before you have finished the stroke.
Thats how its possible to do many many coats very quickly. I\'v painted bits that have need 50+ coats but have been able to do it in 10/15 mins.
Peace and love...

Yeah what he said....
FYI the best type of hair dryers to use are the mini compact travel hair dryers.. the power of the fan and heat settings are rather low.
The best way to describe Juicing is making the paint so dilute all you can see is a slight tint to the water.
Trouble is I think the original reference wasn\'t in English and the translation didn\'t come across properly.
I sometimes think the best description could be a \"Tincture\", but as that really describes something medicinal diluted with Alcohol it\'s not totally accurate either.

Thanks for that; I\'ve never bothered to find out what it\'s supposed to mean since, as with filters (more used in armour modelling and related figure painting) it\'s pretty clear it\'s just an unnecessary coined term.
Apparently I\'m a juicer or a user of filters... problem is I\'ve been doing it since before the terms were coined. Oh yeah, that\'s because it\'s glazing

No afaik glazing and using filters is the same thing as then you tint the entire area think the filter option in photoshop. Most painters do that to either smooth out the highlights or making a colour more vibrant. Juicing is layering with ridiculously thin paint.
Some use the term feathering for this but most use that for working on the transition of the new layer to the previous while the paint is still wet.

Yeah.
That\'s also glazing. Just because it\'s a kind of glazing doesn\'t mean there has to be a new term coined for it.Originally posted by Avelorn

Like with wet drybrushing - it\'s merely a variation of the basic drybrushing technique, no need to give it a fancy-schmancy name to be kewl or whatever.
Agreed - feathering is about how you effect the transition, not about how dilute the paint is.

Yeah well terminology is always confusing. This term \"juices\" comes from french painters. I usually don\'t use the terminology when explaining I just say I use very diluted paint and explain what I do with it, that seem to be the least confusing thing to do.
It creates a bit of boundaries to use an advanced terminology that not everybody knows. It\'s like some gamers that use all these abbreviations for things so that you understand nothing and feel stupid to ask.

i would have said glaze colouring, but when ive seen people talk about on cmon they said juicing. its all automatons fault!
