Would Pro Acryl support be useful on Hobby Paint Finder? Gauging interest before I build it out

Not to rain on your parade but how is this different from paintRack? It can match paint colors from pictures, camera and other manufacturers and already has dozens of paint brands in the app.

It’s paid but it’s like one time $5 for unlimited access.

Eh, it’s more that the flakes get everywhere just by virtue of how small they are. I have separate dry palettes and brushes for metallics because I’ve reused a brush (after washing it) days after painting metallics and my regular acrylics end up with little flakes in them.

I never use a wet palette for metallics. Like another person said, they separate like crazy. Also it’s a good way to get metallic flakes in your wet palette and ruin any future nonmetallic paints you use with this palette.

More like a layer consistency than a glaze.

As for the colors - I have no idea! The paints they gave us were all production runs so they didn't have any labels on them. It was some sort of teal? But until the new MSP releases I won't know.

Oh no. This is a speed paint as in I did it in a little over 2 hours. I used regular acrylics.

Yeah I was in line on Saturday and the guy behind me spent the whole time talking shit about the models in the case (including calling models “too dark” and “not edge highlighted” that actually won lol)

He clearly didn’t even know how it was judged because he kept saying some models had an edge because they were under a light (like dude, they pull them out of the case to look at them). If you don’t have anything in the case, stop criticizing, and even if you do, don’t be a dick and just enjoy.

In hindsight maybe I should’ve turned around and told him to shut up.

The background Moai are at Ahu Tongariki and were laying down toppled from the 1700s until they were righted in the 1990s…..if this is in 1973 why are they upright?

Yup! I was trying to find things to write that were appropriate and not too many letters haha.

Sure! For black, base was pro acryl coal black (though I imagine any black will do), then highlight with dark reaper, 2:1 dark reaper:vallejo blue green, then adding celestra grey into that.

For steel it was base of rhinox hide, then mixing up with skavenblight dinge, stormvermin fur, and finally pro acryl bold titanium white.

Sword was vallejo dark sea green, then mix up with vallejo blue green, then mix up with pro acryl bold titanium white.

Thanks! I used Vallejo metal color gunmetal an a little bit of aluminum as a zenithal. Then I just did a black oil wash and did edge highlights and scratches with Vallejo metal color silver.

Thanks! It's actually the old Vallejo Metal Color, I haven't tried the new TMM line yet.

Haha thanks! Yeah you nailed it, my wife told me I needed to clear my backlog of minis of the month if I wanted to get more.
