yeah those are beautiful, takes a lot of skill, you got to cover them parts when you airbrush obviously. Where do you live? The humidity can make it hard to airbrush
#53 - manollette (01/29/2015) [-]
Live in Washington, but the humidity's not too bad. I'll keep practicing. Did a carnifex with nothing but an airbrush and it came out....well, it didn't come out. It's an abomination that wouldn't even be fit to accompany Nurgle into battle.

Oh you cant airbrush most detail work man, got to break out the brushes if you want to do a good job. It's great for doing base coats.

I have noticed that much, at least. I've seen some absolutely amazing airbrush work over at awakenrealms.com/gallery though, and I'm very much jealous, Would kill to be able to do that, but yeah - every time I try, it's just splatter, splatter, splatter.

I really need a airbrush, getting real tired of doing it by hand.

#48 - manollette (01/29/2015) [-]
Yeah, definitely looking sharp. I've been trying to get into airbrushing too. Got a Badger Patriot 105 and an Eclipse HP-CS. Both seem great for basecoating and broad work, but it splatters a lot when you try to get detail work done...I'm looking at an Iwata TRN2 now, since it works on lower air pressure, but I'm starting to lose hope at airbrushing detail work.

there's even a small backstory to that tank
bought it second hand for like 10€, the previous owner seemed to be some kid who used the TANK so test his color sceme (used to be red with white scribbles) but it looked like he primed the modell in red anti-rust coating.
well long story short i made it my project of 2014, took me about 3 half days to fix it, do fix it (lost parts), convert it and paint it (hard to see in the pic but since the previous paint hurt the modell so much the armored parts got a interesting texture, was a blast to drybrush it in like 10 different colors)
i'll post more of my stuff if you like (noit eversthing is 40K) but not until i got more natural light, photos in the dark suck

That's cool man, I just paint whatever I like from any game. There's a lot of crazy good painters out there and to be honest, they don't get paid a lot for the amount of time they put in this mini is crazy good but hes only gonna get $120 if someone "buys it now" www.ebay.com/itm/Sun-Tze-Infinity-Pro-Painted-/151568700281?rmvSB=true . I don't mean to put you off but there's only so much people are willing to pay for a mini no matter how good it is. But if you win a golden demon, well then maybe you can score big.

Yeah, I've seen most of 'em. I'm not counting on winning a golden daemon, or even getting that good.

Only really heard of privateer press. Sticking with one game for now, might expand in the future.

If I can get really good, I can get to the point where I might actually get paid a decent sum for commissions.

Yeh the cloak looks a bit flat in that light. I don't plan to alter it since its already clear-coated. The matte clear coating also tends to make the colours a bit more muted. I'm not really a fan of dry brushing since it tends to look messy, here the scales are highlighted individually to create the look of shadows in the folds. Painted any non-GW minis?
#13 - manollette (01/28/2015) [-]
And yeah, I imagine it would be difficult to paint over a coating. Inclined to disagree on the drybrush part though. You might be right for the scales, but for the most part I've found that it gives models a more natural look than highlighting. Heck, half of the model guns I do any more are just black with a boltgun metal drybrush, followed by a runefang highlight on the barrel & decals.
#12 - manollette (01/28/2015) [-]
Not yet, no. Every now and then I'll throw up an ad on CL with an offer to paint other models for basically the cost of supplies. So far the only takers on that have been warhammer or 40k.

You know how it is, I just had to have it so I kept bidding lol. I read the GW book series about this character so that's why I wanted it. The base is a 3rd party base from 'Back 2 base-ix' they make awesome bases and they're cheap.
#10 - manollette (01/28/2015) [-]
Yeah, I certainly know how it is. Lost an auction for a sizeable tyranid force to a resale business lately Wish I would've stuck with it. Very nice though. Should try a brown wash followed by a light, green drybrush over the cloak. Really make the scales pop. If you're using citadel, warpstone would be a pretty good, constrasting green. Something closer to straken or elysian if you want the color to be more subtle.
