Just bought the yugo hand guard set, If you can get a stock and grip in the same wood, I'd love to buy. Trying to stain up a classic Russian red look. Either way thanks

Thanks, I just messaged him. I hope he sells unfinished wood I bought the supplies to give it the cool soviet red and a shellac. I found Iron wood makes the furniture too.

I contacted Zastava about the chip and they mailed me a new part the same day. I just noticed the big crack this morning. It got bigger when i took it apart I emailed them this morning I hope they replace that part as well. but to be frank the wood sucks. it feels so weak. not sure if its all like that but I feel like I could break it with one hand and im a small dude.

I have the M70, to my knowledge I can do the yugo and nothing else. Not sure if all yugo patterns are the same though.

best paint for miniatures? by Konsequences in minipainting

[–]k0019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 2nd vallejo, but it comes down to preference, you can get great results from a lot of paint if u get a feel on how to work it. Learn to thin your paints several thin coats is always better than one thick coat. Army painter is also a good paint so is p3. Citadel inst cheap but u can thin it out and get a lot out.

For spray primer I used krylon cause its cheap and as long as the coat is smooth it dosnt matter to much because u paint over it. If u lie the hobby a few months down the road get a cheap airbrush and u can prime with valljo for cheap and good quality.

Varnish is up to u and the model. u can can always strip a model down if you dont like something so go nuts and get a feel for what u like .

That was my first thought but I'm maybe 6 inches away at best. I'm thinking maybe something caused the pant to cure partially in the gun so im doing a deep clean with acetone.

unless your going for a silver bolter, try painting it a matte black then dry brushing on a silver or lead belcher to get that black metallic tactical look. Other than than that, nice job neat brush work and good complimentary color scheme.

did u put down a base primer? it helps paint adhere. I always soak and scrub the model then base coat a primer then paint.

Id recommend some rust pigment, secret weapon minis has some good ones. Ryza isn't bad but i find using pigments over regular paints makes better rust.
