So I recently started working on my Shadows of Brimstone minis (btw, if anyone hasn't started on theirs yet, all the mini's are a nightmare to clean and I've only really only worked on a few types so far.) I want to repose my Void Spiders so they fit on a 28mm base, which means I have to repose...

I use Liquitex Matte Varnish applied with an airbrush over a gloss coat to protect my stuff. A few years ago I tried a bunch of different Matte Varnishes and Liquitex/Vallejo seemed to do the best job of killing the gloss it is applied over. I chose Liquitex due to it's non yellowing properties...

Just a general inquiry about gloss varnish and how well it should protect. I've always wanted to find a gloss that can make my mini's more or less impervious to scratches/drops (as far as paint job damage.) I'm currently using liquitex high gloss (with a matte coat on after) and while it does a...

I use Liquitex Gloss Varnish through an airbrush when protecting my minis (followed by a matte coat). I currently use a .5 needle at about 15psi and spray enough that the varnish looks like a smooth wet surface before it is dry. I haven't had any issues with this so far. Recently came across a...

So I wanted to test the Vallejo Liquid Metals rusting to see what it would look like and how durable they actually are. Using Silver I just painted a flat base, let it dry, then left it submerged under water. That was about a week ago and there is no rust in sight. Anyone experienced them...

So a little background. I've got a friend who comes over about once a week to paint some of his 15mm minis. Being somewhat new to the hobby I offered to let him borrow brushes, palettes etc. He's mostly borrowed a size 1 Da Vinci miniture brush and has been painting off and on for somewhat under...

So Vallejo's regular metallics thin with alcohol, anyone have experience thinning their game air metallics? Is it best to use alcohol or water for them (and does the surface primer metallic behave differently)?

I've been using Vallejo's Primer for a bit now and thinks it's absolutely fantastic through an airbrush. I've had great success with Black and a few other colors. That being said, their White primer seems really thin in comparison and just doesn't go on right. I've tried hitting it from...

So I got back into painting over the last year and have been playing around with a number of matte varnishes to figure out what I want to finish my minis up with after a gloss coat. Vallejo seems to do a great job making a dead flat. The problem I am now encountering with a few test pieces is...
