The airbrush creates a perfectly even coat, that does away with all the gradients the paint wash produces. It is fabulous for things like flat surfaces though. I am definitely going to paint up my land raider and rhine using it.John Stieninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860350974000948346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-656682130490659072009-10-22T16:21:06.320-07:002009-10-22T16:21:06.320-07:00The problem with white primer is that it is really...The problem with white primer is that it is really hard not to botch the prime job. White is working out really well for me, especially with extremely watered down paints that almost act like washes. I am trying out an airbrush tonight that might allow me to use less runny paints. I will let you know how it goes.John Stieninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860350974000948346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-63504537538650525942009-10-22T05:59:01.676-07:002009-10-22T05:59:01.676-07:00I particularly like the IG command squad and the O...I particularly like the IG command squad and the Orks.<br /><br />The technique seems so simple and yields excellent results. I think I may be using the wrong colour primer on my models.onihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00826913158717010235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-9082083870522459032009-10-22T05:19:06.665-07:002009-10-22T05:19:06.665-07:00For the guard I use very thin foundation paints s...For the guard I use very thin foundation paints so the white primer shows up on all of the raised areas, then I use paint the rest of the details and follow them with a wash of dev mud. It takes very little time to paint them this way if they are the regular troopers and have no additional bits or transfers. One the initial model is done I spend as much time as I like adding stuff like grenades or backpacks or whatever. <br /><br />The orcs are similar, though the metal was all shaded before dev mud covered most of the body. The faces start out gretchin green and then are dry brushed with yellow prior to washing with thrakka.John Stieninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860350974000948346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-53338371454974130802009-10-22T01:46:38.347-07:002009-10-22T01:46:38.347-07:00They look great - are you using a dip or just a he...They look great - are you using a dip or just a heavy wash - the Orks are tops too - I love the AoBR kit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
