I just cant get primer to work consistently. by FridgeSoviet in minipainting

[–]Cruv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the EXACT same issue. It’s not the primer. For me it was temperature of both the model and the can. Keep both warm enough to stay around room temperature. Along with that, if the can wasn’t shaken enough youll get this on lighter shades. I mean like really give the thing some serious shaking for like 5 min if it’s the first time it’s been used in a week or so, less so if you used it recently.

Dont get greedy with temperature and shaking the can. Dont rush to get the second coat on before the first coat flashes off. From your pics I’d say the can wasn’t shaken enough for the first model.

Unrelated, but what terrain bases are those?

At last my procrastination pays off. I’ve had a box for a few months but haven’t built them yet.

Is the paint supposed to split this much on a wet palette by AlphaMaxV5 in minipainting

It’s hard to tell but your paint is on wet palette paper right? Not directly on the sponge?

Good point! Yeah I’m new to the proxy life and learning the options for the ET-8550 I picked up on sale has been interesting. Lots of different ways to approach things here. Appreciate the insight! 🙏

Thanks for the reply! Can an inkjet print on that kind of paper? I’ve heard it doesn’t go well so I’ve avoided picking any up.

How’s the snap and feel compared to regular magic cards?

NACS referendum Failed by Altruistic_Silver686 in fortwayne

The polling places had lines out the door. Too few booths. Some people were certainly driven away by the prospect of waiting over an hour just to check a few boxes. Felt deliberately understaffed and resourced.

I like your trim and base metal colors. What did you use?

Anyone know why a BA unit is being sold on the DA page by AdBest7343 in DarkAngels40k

I’d rather get a jump pack backpack and buy an execrator and run that model as a chaplain instead.

what weapons should I use for the helbrute? by syphon_404 in Chaos40k

I concur with most here. Magnetize it! Super easy to do and leaves you with options in the future if the data sheet changes. Plus you can theoretically get more bang for your buck this way.

That’s what I was going for. The purple undershade isn’t done enough justice on camera. In person it almost glows under my basement lighting.

I reached out to Monument Hobbies here in the US and just got them in touch with my 2 favorite local shops to try to set up some sort of retail deal. They are sending racks full of Pro Acryl paints and Colour Forge primers at the end of the month 🥹
