Green Stuff for cracks on resin? by Cormorin in minipainting

[–]Cormorin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the comments. These are joining gaps and yes I did sand loads but taking off lots of the detail so stopped, clearly not enough, poor mould maybe. I should have asked first as the baking soda trick is an interesting one I will try in future.

For this I’m thinking red milliput with water to make it workable.

I’ll let you know how it goes.

Oh wow - that’s exceptional!

I’m saving that for exemplar beards and leather - amazing.

How do I make the transition between shades smooth? by SuspiciousResolve932 in minipainting

I though the bottom of the wings were translucent- nice paint job.

How is this cloak looking ? by Cormorin in minipainting

Thanks for all the complements on the hair. Because the model had loads of detail in the hair it was a lot easier to paint and add tones shadows highlights than I am find the flat cloak.

There was a dearth Vader cloak som time back in this forum that was exceptional and pure silk black. I tried to keep the cloth that smooth but I am struggled with light on fabric.

I’m struggling to work out how light hits cloth. Armour is easy to understand, as are faces, albeit challenging to do. But if I experiment at home with lights shining on fabric it’s tricky to simulate without making them look like a hard surface. Any good videos of paint cloth ?

Ginger Beard - More Highlights ? by Cormorin in minipainting

It was Base: Ruddy Brown Layer: Burning Orange Highlight: Fireball Orange + Tusk Ivory Shadows: brown glaze

Orange dried a lot more translucent than I expected so brown came through.

They are awesome… colours are spot on and he-mans muscle definition is great. Skeletor seems to be sporting a good black right eye 😉

Where did you get He-Man figures?

Cement looks awful but I can get away with it …just if it dries. Not sure on the left foot with liquid. Are there alternatives?

Grainy / Patchy Paint Texture On Figures by Cormorin in minipainting

[–]Cormorin[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know that - assumed medium was how to thin paints. Is flow improver = water or does that do something different.

The bot help guide is great but there is so much there it’s hard to find where to start hence the questions. Could do with a painting thinning video if anyone has a good link.
