    Use matt medium for sticking in the "glass" it wont frost the plastic. It's also a great adhesive if you want to put together pre-painted parts, as it wont harm the paint work. Also good for adhering flock and grass as it remains flexible and doesn't dry brittle like PVA, dilute as you would for PVA

  • @SentientTent
    @SentientTent 2 дня назад

    These came out pretty nice, its a good way of working with those paints. I think you might want to try a higher opacity yellow like cadmium. Most of the more common arylide paints tend to be pretty transparent and will be showing through the base colors. You don't want to airbrush cadmium though. benzimidazolones are fine for airbrushing but are often semi transparent so you would have to mix with white if you want opacity. Luckily they tend to be pretty saturated and high strength for yellows so don't desaturate much when mixed with white.

    No, blue is not black and that is not it. Look at a video by Duncan Rhodes who demonstrates that black does not have to be any other colour. If you want to get an idea for other colours to add contrast to a model see if you can find a video where one of the Spanish lads does a Sisters of Battle. It was done shortly after the Sisters box was released and it took a few hours to get the job done without it looking like you had painted black armour blue. You are not the only one by the way, I have seen a few recent videos of people thinking black aint black. Well it is and the challenge is to keep it that way but get definition.

    • @alexpaintstinythings
      @alexpaintstinythings 7 дней назад

      Generally I'll thin in most cases - but it's about how much you thin. This is probably a bit variable because different paints need different thinning - it's really hard to give a one-rull-fits all. Generally I want thin enough to come off the brush smoothly while not being so thin it's overly transparent - but no sadly, there's no real rule of thumb that makes much sense without knowing your brands, style of painting, brushes, palette and desired technique - but I would like to try and cover some of this on a future video! :)

      @alexpaintstinythings Absolutely, I would like someone to teach me how to paint black miniatures, especially Adepta Sororitas. Sorry for my bad English. I am not native english speaker.

    I have been painting my Black Templars with yellow tabards and my recipe is Black Prime (from the rest of the model's armor being black) -> Light Umber base layer-> Golden Brown midtone layer->Golden Yellow as the highlight-> Wash with GW Casadora Yellow-> Then Golden Yellow and Dorn Yellow for edge and fine detail highlight of the cloth. If I was doing yellow armor, probably Zandri Dust prime, Golden Yellow Zenithal, Wash Casadora yellow, then highlight with golden yellow and Dorn yellow. The browner base layers help to sell the weathering and grime that I finish the model with.

      Nice. That seems like a lot of browns before yellow but sounds like it’s working! Pink might feel odd on Black templars to be fair :D

      @alexpaintstinythings the light umber only needs one coat to give the yellows a good base, because they aren't as transparent as the GW yellows I've used before and it looks nice as the deepest recess color.

    Don't know if this explanation will work but here goes. There is no need to use a brush to get the contrast medium out. After shaking, flip the lid up 90 degrees and then twist to the side of the pot while tilting it back down like you where going to close the pot. You get nice controlled droplets falling of, just like a dropper bottle. Usually three to four. Close lid and shake slightly to do more drops. No need to mess with brushes. Give it a try. Great video
