I keep 3 heads on pins on my desk and just strip them like once a week. If I feel like painting but not surely what I pick them up and practice, or will just do a few coats with whatever I have on my palette during a project as a breather. Lord knows I need all the practice on faces I can manage.

So, I'm doing this model, but trying to go for a stone basalt black, with gold for the recesses.

Is there a quick and dirty way to get gold into all these carved recesses without disturbing the rest of the paint? I'm really not looking forward to trying to paint every single one.

I’ve used nail polish remover (acetone based) before. It’ll wreck the plastic but I’ll get a qtip and add just a little bit on it to rub off a bunch of glue around a joint or something. And then rinse it off after if soap and water

space has very little to 'weather' things.
The biggest effect you could do would be bleaching, colour washing out of painted things due to solar radiation. (see the american flags on the moon nowadays).

Micrometeors could have put splash craters on armour, but that wouldnt look much different than how most people do bolter shots.

You could model on some rcs thrusters on their powerpacks and have some soot marks on the pauldrons and back on the calves (pic related).

What is the eye glow meant to be?

just to make them look eerie, its mostly unrelated desu its not like there would be a mist medium for that to occur in. Just bare metal and paint.

Good recomendations, they are also SW so I think ill do some icy effects as well. I do want those thrusters on them I have some thallax and I really liked their posable thrusters. Ill look for some.

Is magnetizing arms worth it? I'm fairly new and got some voidscarred corsairs for Kill Team. I found out I can't have a legal KT if I build all the specialists, so I looked into magnetizing them.
I don't plan on playing in tournaments or anything, just with my friends. I don't think they will really care if I run a model as something else or doesn't match with WYSIWYG. Maybe I'll play at a store every now and then, but I don't plan on doing it regularly. So the real reasons I would do it would be for my own satisfaction, making use of the whole kit and having WYSIWYG for myself. If it's actually not that hard to do, I don't see why not to do it. Does it add a lot of extra difficulty and time to building your models? Do you find it rewarding?

So I'd like to paint my Eldar army in this wraithbone style but in Iyanden colors, but I'm a complete beginner to painting. Also, the "head" wouldn't have that glossy look to it but rather just be a completely covered and opaque iyanden blue like the official GW scheme but with the wraithbone effect, and the limbs would be yellow like most of the model. Is it reasonable to expect a noob to be able to replicate this after a few tries on some test models or would it more likely take months if not years to do so?

I'm not saying you can't do it, but it will require extreme patience and practice. To answer your question directly, it would take a few months for a new painter to highlight at that level comfortably; not to mention how long for an entire army.
I would recommend to do your color scheme, but do a much simpler version of the highlighting. Only do this more detailed highlighting on the more important models. You'll get burnt out fast trying to put those tentacles on even one squad of wraithguard.

basically anything that isn't from the 80s is gonna be pewter and not contain lead. You couldn't legally sell lead minis to kids, that is one of the major reasons that changed.

That aside when you sand something don't inhale the dust (just wet sand) and after you've handled lead you should wash your hands before you eat something. That is basically it.

you could just put them together in a 3d package yourself. More often than not you'll find that the pivot of the objects in question is snapped to the origin, so all you have to do is open the files and they'll be positioned correctly.

All you need is a program that opens the files and lets you move them around, which basically should be all of them. If the files are set up clean you should not even have to patch up any gaps either, because it's all math, i.e. 0 space tolerances between the pieces

The most obvious giveaway when it comes to moldlines is when there are two next to each other. There are some caveats though.
A recaster trying to do it properly will clean up the original pieces before making a mold, so you only have one mold line, and it could have a jagged line because that is how you prevent a silicone mold from slipping. It should be obvious because the mold line is in a different place than on the plastic sprue though. Where the mold closes on a metal tool is basically dictated by the need to avoid undercuts, so it can look different depending on how the parts are placed on the sprue.
In the case of mk3 marines the legs come in two pieces, one of the legs has a mold line running across the front.

Better indicator might be to test the material. If it just snaps instead of bending before breaking it's resin. If it just burns instead of melting before it burns it's resin.

a lot of beginners don't clean the models before they prime. That means they have mold release under the primer. It's literally designed to prevent things from sticking. In that case that sentiment might hold true, but if you cleaned the models and varnished them, taking off paint is a lot harder. You have to bang metal models together or handle them with sandpaper.
They're not indestructible of course, but the idea that paint just comes off when you look at them wrong is misinformation.

Quoted By: >>88975249

>>88974756
plastic glue/cement is basically a solvent that melts the plastic. Using it to hold plastic models together creates a chemical weld, essentially making it one piece.
Superglue or Cyanacrylat hardens into a bunch of tiny crystals. On a rough surface the grip is enough to hold parts together. On smooth surfaces the glue might not have enough grip and just chip off.

There are advantages to either, but if you want a permanent bond on plastic one is the superior choice.

Plastic glue isn't actually glue, it's a chemical that causes the plastic to melt slightly so that when you press two pieces together they melt together and become one piece
It results in stronger bonds than superglue and is less brittle.
Think if it as the difference between welding and soldering

Asking for suggestions - what kind of bases should these knights receive? I can't figure out and generic "earth plus grass" would be kind of boring, I think.

The only bases I did before were "snow" bases aka "Vallejo desert sand paste painted light blue, washed with grey and highlighted with white".

Orange to contrast with the blue would work, so maybe a Martian desert type base or rusted metal floor panels, but maybe you want something more ambitious.
I don't know the lore or setting, so I can't comment on that. There's a lot of options though.

Painting an entire army like that would take several times longer than doing it normally and even longer if you are not already skillfull with a brush.
It doesn't look like a particularly hard thing to get the hang of but it looks very time consuming and I can guarantee you'll get burned out before you even have 2 units painted like that.
There's a reason why people don't paint whole armies to display standard

dunno, but looking at the box behind the model it looks like your model has the chassis and the tracks in a different position. Chassis on the box looks like it does note extend beyond the track assembly tot he front.

Not a silly question at all. GW used to cover the transitional areas with a secondary smaller pad on older sculpts.
If you look at 2nd-3rd edition characters and sergeants with raised arms you will see that pretty consistently.
It would usually sculpted so that the soft armor opens up towards the bottom in an A shape, while the top of the upper arm was covered by the internal smaller pad.
I think this particular arms might have been sculpted with the idea of it being tilted slighty more towards the front in a sweeping motion instead of an "rally towards me" pose. No reason you can't use it that way though.

If you want to you could slightly alter the shape of the upper arm's armor and add the internal pad, but that is only really a detail turbo autists like me would care about.

in your case you might get away with just covering that gap in the armor with the Besagew (yeah, I had to look up how to write that).
Anyway those small shields are on historical suits of armor exactly for covering up the gap under the shoulder where you would stab to get to someone's artery.

Pliers and a hobby knife for getting models off of sprues and clearing off mold lines. Plastic cement for glueing plastic models. Primer is good stuff, check up on how to properly do it and do a practice run on a bit of plastic. Official GW stuff is always overpriced, consider alternative brands.
Maybe some basing material, depending on what your plans are.

The darker the primer, the darker the color you put over it appears till you get to a certain pigment density. Meaning darker colors need fewer coats over black to appear solid since they're already closer to black than lighter colors. If that's what you meant by "better" then yes.

First time oil painting, pretty happy with it so far. I really enjoy the process and am glad I tried it. Started the squig from black prime and white ink zenithal, didn't varnish it beforehand either. Only prep I did was some dark flesh acrylic inside the mouth and some burgundy on the tongue, besides that the rest of the colors are oil paints. I wanted to go classic squig red but my dark purple base wash that I wiped off ended up very violet, and my attempts to blend my red into it only served to lighten the purple. Said screw it and mixed up some magentaish and pink paint and just went with it. Its hard to tell in the photo the oil is still wet, but the blend on the sides is a lot more subtle than the camera gives credit. I really enjoy this style of painting and will definitely keep practicing, but I think I'll make it a bit easier on myself and try painting the oils over some acrylic base tones to help myself out.

The Createx Autoborne was the clear winner. It made a thin coat and the glaze was relatively even, with both the first coat and the second.
The Plaid FX was decent. It went on a little thicker, and had a little less tooth for the glaze to grab onto, but it was better than nothing. The glaze needed the second coat to be even coverage.
The bare metal control glazed better than I expected it to, but there were still spots where the paint didn't stay.
The results of the test weren't surprising to me. Plaid is muh childhood but I've tried quite a few of their products in mini painting and there's always a better alternative. The only Plaid thing I still use is Mod Podge for basing glue, although their Ultra spray looks interesting.

Turn it into practical effects with pigments/weathering stuff, maybe? That's what I plan on doing with my expensive fuckup.

Question about Zenithal priming:

I've been trying using Zenithal priming on a number of minis lately (an extra blast of white primer isn't a huge ask so why the hell not), but I'm really not seeing any sort of effect after finishing my painting. If there is any sort of effect it's so subtle I can't notice it. I know it's a big deal for those contrast paints everyone's nutting over, but I'm still using older edge highlighting techniques I learned from here and admittedly pretty low-pigment Tamiya acrylics but after applying a few coats of base coat, a wash, touch ups, and all the other details I'm not seeing any noticeable advantage compared to single-color priming. Is it something that only really stands out if you're using acrylic inks in an airbrush or higher end paints?

Personally I think xenithal is a meme, it never shows up unless you're using speedpaints. Some people say it helps you visualize the model's highlights while you're painting it, but that doesn't matter for the base coating step and you can't see it after that anyways so I don't get it.

Don't forget the wash.
Hit the tips of the missles in white
Clean up around the lights
Heat burns on the gun maybe a bit of soot
As someone who does Marines malevolent the uneven paint can look kino if you weather it right. make it look like it's intentional by the chapter to mimic the spilled blood of our fallen brothers blah blah blah

Not going to claim to be at all talented at mini painting.

Working on this guy, and was going to wash him now that the base coats are done. Was originally going to use a dark tone to darken him up a bit/lot and make the scales really stand out, but then figured I should instead ask around on if there's a better choice in wash for a scheme like this.

Any better idea for a wash across the grey back and green scales?

If you're using opaque paints over a zenithal you simply paint a lighter basecoat over the light areas and a darker basecoat over the dark areas

Hey everyone, I'm a painting noob and I'm also painting with contrasts/speed paints (I know, learn to paint for real...) I was just wondering, what would I use if I want this armor color and skin color? For the armor I'm thinking a mix of abaddon black with leviadon blue to get that blue/black-oily color, don't know what to do for pale/grey skin though.

Black with desaturated blue edge highlights.
White (or a very pale green/blue) with a light green or blue wash.

What's a good vallejo rattlecan primer for light colours? I didn't really like their Grey, it's almost white and I feel like paint doesn't take to it very well. Can't get Citadel ones because I have to order them online and I would like to prime stuff tomorrow.

Also never ever buy from GW website, almost every other distributor will have a better prices

vallejo german grey + a blue wash will give you something like that, then highlight with cold dark blue

Would depend if you want it to lean warm or cold. Black, grey, blue, dark purple, dark red, or dark brown would all fit the bill depending on what you want to do afterward.

A machined punch. Since there's no way you'll have one, draw a circle with a compass, cut a rough shape with a knife and sand the rest.
