Reaper Mini Test

[SammyBusby]

Hey gang! (Guys and gals!)

Recently I slept on my arm wrong and damaged the radial nerve in my dominant right hand and I have been pretty discouraged about painting because I can hardly use my hand. But Im going to attempt to paint a Guardian Angel Reaper Mini and I need some tips on painting white as what little experience I have with it has been the white paint being pretty chalky looking. Any tips you guys can give me will be appreciated. Im hoping I can use a wrist brace to support my hand straight since I can use my first three fingers a little. Im really wanting this to look good because Im attempting it for someone special to me. If anyone has suffered from this (They call it Saturday Night Palsy to, or another disabling alement please give me some tips on that toView attachment 46380

Get some Vallejo Model Color Ivory and use that instead of pure white. It dries smooth as silk, so long as you don't put it on too thick.

Yep, don't use pure white +1 for VMC ivory.

AAh crap. I ddont have any of that. Is there another method? I have VMC and GW paints. Could I use say Adiminstrum Grey and build white up on that or another like Palid Wych Flesh?

Nah the GW paints get really chalky. Reaper or P3 seem less chalky. Scale 75 or even warcolors too. I use primarily GW and their lighter colors seem very flat which is good, but not when thinned for fine blends.
