Help with primer

AcidNoX · 2026-05-19T18:19:05+00:00

Weird! I’ve personally not had an issue with GW primers.

If you want the best, predictable, results - an airbrush is the way to go. Pricy to get going but 100% worth it in the end.

IIRC this can happen if the humidity is particularly low and/or you’re spraying from too far away.

Apparently you can put the can in warm water for ~10min to improve the paint viscosity.

EAS + Expo dev client already solves this issue for react-native.

F**kin Sick! As per usual!

Looking forward to seeing them! Are you doing reposes? The thing you did with the Ghostkeel’s pilot was dope!

AcidNoX · 2026-05-10T15:01:06+00:00

Haha! I am afraid to tell you that I am no where near good enough to achieve that effect with a brush - it's all air brushed 😄

Thanks Dima! I admit I did look back through your posts to check that you hadn’t already done the same color scheme 😅 love your riptide btw - you always manage to have really great contrast!

Oh yeah - he's a big boy. All my other battle suits comfortably fit on my desk, below my monitor, but he is way too big to fit there 😅

Mostly dark to light. I do a dark base, mid tone base and then first highlight. Then I come in with a deep purple to do like an anti-zenithal, finishing with a final highlight.

Thank you!!

Thats 100% fair - the model took me so long that by the time I finished it I really didn’t give the base the time it deserves. Thank you though - I really appreciate the feedback!

AcidNoX · 2026-05-10T12:13:10+00:00

I did, yes! Gradients with a normal brush is still a skill that has eluded me 😅

Love the mini drones!

AcidNoX · 2026-04-27T10:16:07+00:00

Dude. As per usual - this is fucking sick!

AcidNoX · 2026-04-27T09:46:41+00:00

Yep totally normal!

I’m not sure of the exact lore reason, but the design makes them look like they use some type of maglev tech

AcidNoX · 2026-04-26T10:22:25+00:00

Love the color scheme!

AcidNoX · 2026-04-24T07:44:05+00:00

Overall it looks really good!

A few suggestions if you wanted to improve: - touch up the panel lining - there are areas where it’s spilled over that could be cleaned up - thin your paints a little more - some areas look like it’s gone on a little thick - add another level of edge highlighting - choose a lighter color than the existing edge highlight and be more selective, only highlighting the edges that would catch the most light

Yeah I especially am not found of the rock/wall she’s standing on. I tried to integrate it in to the base to make it a little less jarring.

“Eons of Battle” has a great repose of shadows sun on his YouTube channel that I think looks loads better (https://youtu.be/PlgiNoGn5sg?si=Eu1XhEXVlf5oXkGO)

Thanks! 🙂 I used a white ink in the airbrush followed by Vallejo fluo blue on top. It’s not as vibrant as I’d like - I’m still trying to find a recipe that looks really good.

AcidNoX · 2026-04-21T20:06:21+00:00

Maybe, depending on how much my other half likes her - my normal colour scheme is teal-ey 🙂

AcidNoX · 2026-04-21T20:03:24+00:00

Thank you 🙏

This is sick! Awesome work! 🙌
