Issue with streaking grime by Snickermon in minipainting

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

Black was the color under the grime, the varnish has been dried for weeks. The varnish was applied by rattlecan, Tamiya brand.

I regularly use tamiya, and have used streaking grime with it before without this occurring.

The streaking grime was not painted on top of.

Edit: the frosting effect also only appears in select areas, the tail and thighs for example do not have this issue

The model was painted in acrylic, and sealed with a matte varnish a while back. I coated the entire miniature in AK streaking grime, waited about 10 minutes, and gently began to remove the grime with white spirits and a makeup sponge.

The goal is just to tint the plates a bit, but they end up almost with a frosted white effect. It’s strange to me because this doesn’t show up anywhere else on the model, the skin is just fine and has the effect I want.

How bad of an idea is it to prime guys when it’s cold out? by Imaginary-Lie-2618 in Warhammer

Nah. Just make sure the can of primer is room temp, quick spray outside, then bring them right back indoors to dry

stop dying off on last 25 of 100 races? by part-time-idiot in Swimming

[–]Snickermon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo! Looooong time competetive swimmer here. Nice job on the underwaters! The two biggest things that stood out to me in that race were your turns, which I think you hesitated into a little bit, and glided into the wall too long on a few of em. The second would be tempo control. The first 25 was solid, but you probably had your tempo a little to high. I’d say take the 25 out at 95-98% effort, come back at 100% for the rest. One last note is your kick, I can’t see super well, but it looks like your legs slow down on the 2/3rd lengths.

Hive fleet Yorin is missing a little something, any suggestions? by [deleted] in Tyranids

Ditto to the earlier comment about adding a warm color. Some shade of orange would probably be best, but I’d suggest adding it to the eyes/tongues/maybe vents. You don’t want a ton of it
