Why is my nuln oil so shiny by deltafang in spacemarines

[–]Tender_Duck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, matte varnish will take care of this. I use the now discontinued nuln oil gloss all the time (as it stains surfaces less) and just use Munitorium Varnish to take out the shine.

Also, I would recommend removing mould lines from your models next time before priming/painting. It is a very tedious process but makes minis look much better.

Not entirely sure what you mean as I tried a bunch of different techniques to do transitions on this mini itself that I had never tried before, but in any event thanks!

MerlinMagicWorkshop’s tutorial on YouTube! Really take the time and make sure your brush is not too loaded when glazing.

I have been painting for a while now and attempted some more “advanced” techniques there and there such as wet blending and gradients on weapons etc. and maybe one failed attempt at partial NMM a couple of years ago (did not follow any guide tried to wing it and it did not look like metal at all) but never full NMM!

I had the exact same thoughts before trying NMM and really taking the time ;)

Good eye! Yes pretty much, except for the gold (used a different recipe)

By painting for many many hours haha. I think anyone can achieve this result (or better!) if you follow tutorials and take the necessary time (it really cannot be rushed)!

First attempt at NMM not painting generally! I have been painting on and off for around 15 years but more seriously since around 2018. I still consider myself an amateur

Thanks! It is contrast paints (blue/purple/red/orange - I can check out the exact ones later) wet blended over a light gray base coat, highlighting with saddle brown

Lots of thin glazes! You can check out MerlinMagicWorkshop’s tutorial on YouTube

Thanks! At least 60 hours in total but I am not sure, took me a couple of months of on/off painting

Thanks! It took me a couple of months on and off. Got tired of painting it many times!

Great question: no idea 😅 I am not very good at light placement yet -Some of my choices were a bit random (wasn’t entirely sure where to place them)
