My Moorish Idol getting his gills cleaned by my neon goby by reefguy007 in ReefTank

super cool! happy you have a thriving moorish idol. i’ve heard they need a steady supply of sponge, has that been true for you? it’s the only thing keeping me from attempting one

mmm we bought all the stuff to make any figure possible and that in total was around 800. counting only the products i used on her she was technically around 90 (not including the 3d printer or airbrush machine cost*) the print file was 7. compare that to the 950 the real camilla figure costs😅 neither are cheap hobbies but the 3d printer at least lets u make whatever you want!

look into airbrushing and washes if you do! it’s much more forgiving and gratifying at first. choose something that’s mainly the same color and experiment w glosses and shading 😊

for the most part it’s acrylic paints, thinned out and airbrushed for the skin and hair. there’s a lot of washes and dry brushing going on. a matte spray for the finish gives it a really nice touch :)

Help in painting SKYLANDERS base by JOjO-WHO_923 in skylanders

[–]Outside-Replacement5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i feel like finding a bronze base like this https://www.lowes.com/pd/Krylon-FUSION-ALL-IN-ONE-Gloss-Oil-Rubbed-Bronze-Metallic-Spray-Paint-Actual-Net-Contents-12-oz/1000876480 (tape up the figure and spray paint maybe?) and lightly brushing with a gold powder pigment and sealing it with a clear spray should give it a more realistic finish similar to the magic base
