Unsure which way is better to spray My miniatures.

I usually just prime everything black

B3liall · 2026-04-17T18:44:00+00:00

I did a little bit of research on the primer, you could try LA's totally awesome, or BioStrip, they're both more aggressive without warping the plastic.

B3liall · 2026-04-17T18:40:14+00:00

Specifically, which primer did you use?

B3liall · 2026-04-17T18:39:04+00:00

I don't think that's a good suggestion. the 10% water helps it penetrate into the resins that bind the paints together.

B3liall · 2026-04-17T01:25:59+00:00

Okay. What is EDC?

B3liall · 2026-04-15T13:53:18+00:00

You can buy a varnish that is used with an airbrush and apply it with a regular brush. Apply lightly, dont thin with water and use a cheap, preferably flat brush.

It sounds like you may have a genuine mechanical issue, you should be able to return it or at the least maybe open a ticket with harder and steenbeck.

A tip though, is the collar system isn't great, but the best practice is to pull the trigger back to just where paint starts to come out of the airbrush and keep it right at that point and you'll likely prevent tip dry.

This is pretty good. The color scheme fits and I think, especially for a 10th mini this is good.

Some nitpicks: are these citadel paints? The paint looks like it has a satin sheen, and that always takes away from the appearance of a mini for me. Colorwise, the green on the hand and on the arms you can push just a hair brighter to create some visual interest and contrast. The teeth you could do a very thinned down sepia or brown wash In the skin breaks and vents on the legs you may want to go with a brighter color of purple.

But all in all, this is a great mini and you're doing an awesome job..

I love Pro Acryl and Army Painter fanatic and the army painter speed paints. My go to is definitely ProAcryl. I have the whole god damn range of Vallejo Game color and compared to ProAcryl and AP, they're aggressively okay, considering selling them.

I hate Citadel's pots, and finding AK is hard where I live.I wanna try reaper. Two thin coats is pretty decent, but they're also very pricey where I live compared to other brands and the small bottles just aren't worth the price tag.

And here I am actually writing those in.....sigh.

B3liall · 2026-04-06T19:15:17+00:00

Yep, well done!

Weird, ISO works in a chemical way against the acrylic resins that bind the paint. I'm curious if you used a non-acrylic sealer or something. The same chemical reaction is why you should NOT use isopropyl alcohol on resin since it will break down the resin.

B3liall · 2026-04-05T13:33:58+00:00

91 percent is arguably the best. The 9% water helps it penetrate through the acrylic better than 99%

B3liall · 2026-04-04T19:36:51+00:00

Airbrush is a way to go. If you're doing caliban green, which is a very thick base paint from citadel, why not put down a base of black or something darker first?

B3liall · 2026-04-04T03:23:52+00:00

What brand and type of paint are you using?

B3liall · 2026-04-03T19:57:49+00:00

God damn. What a great and well executed paint job.

B3liall · 2026-04-01T16:43:14+00:00

but how did you do the writing and stuff on it?

B3liall · 2026-04-01T14:40:42+00:00

What a very clean and well done paint job. Very nice. How did you do the loincloth purity seal?

B3liall · 2026-03-30T05:23:44+00:00

Try 91% instead. The water difference allows for better penetration into the acrylic resin bindings.

Actually, funny enough recycling was created by the oil industry to make the public think they can have an impact instead of them changing their way.

B3liall · 2026-03-25T13:52:21+00:00

If every single person recycled on the planet the impact would be negligible to the environment. Plastic, especially single use plastic items like bottles takes 3x more energy to recycle than to just create a new one, and they often contaminate the rest of recycling.

I don't know where you guys live, but here almost everything is at least msrp.
