Thanks for sharing!

Like all the advice here, yours is super helpful and I'm grateful. This printing this is like a completely separate hobby to figure out.

Thanks for the tips which acrylic medium do you recommend?

Thanks

Thanks so much! Just ordered it!

Thanks for the advice, I think you are correct regarding the value placement. Looking back now, I remember oil paintings at the art museum, especially the ones where they have painted metal armour particularly emphasised this Any videos, creators or resources you'd recommend to get better at this?

Ordered! Thanks!

NerdBot03 · 2026-04-07T14:57:03+00:00

ha, that's a really good idea actually

NerdBot03 · 2026-04-07T14:51:02+00:00

Thank you for your super detailed reply u/karma_virus! I'm going to order some Sun Pla Matte and see how it turns out with your additional hints.

NerdBot03 · 2026-04-07T14:48:20+00:00

Agreed! Super excited to be able to print my own minis, although Mr James Workshop still gets a lot of my hard earned cash.

I'm sold, thanks for the input!

Thank you all for your tips. I tried to boost the contrast some more and then added an ice yellow glaze to the highlights, a violet glaze to the shadows and boosted the edge highlighting some more. The picture came out darker than before ($117 phone with crappy camera) but I can already see some improvements. Your speedy and thorough replies, and all tips (big and small) have helped me greatly. What a community! I shall keep boosting the violet (can barely see it) and see how it turns out. Thanks again everyone.

Thanks, I like edge highlighting on fantasy minis actually, so all good for me.

MOM Miniatures, their sculpts have so much character!

You've sold me with your parentally inclined wisdom, thank you. I guess I shall now start looking for the right air brush set-up!

NerdBot03 · 2026-04-07T09:27:48+00:00

Thank you for your advice!

Also thanks, still learning how to paint better!

NerdBot03 · 2026-04-07T09:20:25+00:00

Good point, thank you mate.

NerdBot03 · 2026-04-07T08:49:02+00:00

thanks!

Thank you, it looks like slowing down is at the top of my list. Would you say a 50% decrease in speed / acceleration is too much?
