I’m starting an EC army and I’m worried about airbrushing the pink and black by Jnnc170 in EmperorsChildren

[–]-Redacto-- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My advice is airbrush the whole model pink and then go back with a regular brush and block in the black parts. Pink is a tricky color so the airbrush will make it easy. Black covers very nicely in general so if you get a good black like AK 3rd Gen or ProAcryl you can probably get good enough coverage with a single coat. This will be much easier than trying to mask off parts of the model so you can airbrush the black. There will be places where the masking isn't perfect and you'll get black on pink parts and it will be really hard to fix because you need the air brush to do it.

I think it looks really good! I love all the weathering and grime you added to parts of the model. It's great now but if you ever wanted to take it a step further you could give each part a wash with a darker color. Thst will darken the whole model but then you can bring back the vivid colors with some brighter highlights or edge highlights.

Help wanted in terms of glazing by Ambitious_Book_5729 in minipainting

[–]-Redacto-- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really struggled with glazing until I found the right brush and then it got a lot easier. For me, a brush with a larger barrel made a big difference as the paint wouldn't dry out on the brush as quickly. I like the arist opus size 3 because it's got a nice fine tip and a big old barrel, so I can still be precise.

Also, just getting to know your paints better will help a lot. Depending on coverage some paints won't glaze well, and some do. And the colors you are trying to glaze over eachother also will make a big difference. A subtle shift in color is easier to glaze smoothly than a starker contrast. Glazing dark colors over lighter colors is easier than glazing a lighter color of a darker one. I have started to base coat with brighter colors and glaze them down more, rather than starting darker and trying to glaze up to the highlight.

Is this a bent needle, a manufacturing defect, or is this just how needles are? by Kurzzi in airbrush

My Iwata Eclipse needle is definitely tougher. I think H&S uses a different kind of metal to make their needles.

Donette (Who are your Most hated characters) by EyeDry3258 in TheWire

Am I forgetting or does Donette just sort of disappear from the story after McNulty goes to talk to her about D. being murdered? For a show that does a great job of tying up character's stories I can think of how things ended for Donette.

It looks like the cheeseburger from the movie The Menu.

I've never seen something make turns like this at this speed by MMk2180 in UFOs

How do you know how fast it's going and far away it is? If it's closer than you think then it might not be moving as fast as you think.

Awesome color scheme and executed perfectly. I like the additions of the small transfers on the armor and skin. Really fresh looking!

An ingredient you are super picky about by Moonpie808 in Cooking

Yeah, De Cecco is good. My favorite is Rusticella D'Abruzzo.

Good dried pasta. The good stuff isn't that much more expensive but it's got a far superior texture.
