I've been far too long away from painting in general. We started a Dark Heresy campaign so I needed a new model. I had been planning a character before and had a couple of models I wanted to use. This one (with different guns and the suit changed into a one-piece) and the trench coat version...

Has anyone else had any problems with this cracking the paint layer underneath? I usually give my models a Satin Varnish (GW's Purity Seal) after I've finished a model, and then a layer of anti-shine. I recently finished a model I had spent quite a lot of time on and due to the use of a lot of...

After... well, about two years, I finally got around to finishing this guy. Alas, it's a little rushed. I had to finish him for a painting competition in a couple of days and I had only done the steel and yellow areas, with the brass, flesh and details to go. I didn't get the highlighting on...

Over on The Waaagh! we had a grot painting competition. So I painted up one of the grot krew from the supa-kannon set from Forge World I bought at GD09. He's a radio carrier/messenger, but he kinda looks like a DJ with the way he's posed and the big head phones. I added a little...

I've been getting into my blending more of late, and have been playing about with flow enhancer and matt medium. The problem with the latter is that I can't find anywhere that does it as a consistency similar to paint rather than a gel. This makes it a pain to mix together with water and paint...

I'm painting up a warboss, and being Bad Moons, there's a lot of yellow. Now my usual tactic for yellow is to prime the yellow areas in white, add a layer of golden yellow, wash it and build up from there, and it generally looks good (ignore the avatar image, he's old and rubbish). For the...

My search-fu is weak. Or at least what I found didn\'t help. I\'ve been having problems with large metal pieces of minis. I like holding the miniature close to where I\'m painting it. For most 28mm models, even metal ones, I can just hold it by the base. Currently though I have been painting a...

I\'ve been having problem with glaze-blending greys. Specifically I have been having problems with the powder granulating out as I thin the paint down; which I have to do as greys tend to be very strong pigments. I have been adding washing-up liquid to act as an emulsifier (2-3 drops in half a...

I started a Salamander army a while ago and have been dreading doing the flame motifs. The FW terminator shoulder pads are easy because the flames are moulded, but I am having issues with freehanded stuff. Today I quickly did a tactical squad (about an hour for ten), the 5 better ones seen...

Hmmm... first thread seemed to have been lost in the aether. Anyway, here\'s my Salamander Captain I entered into GDUK08. He\'s really not that great but I was hounded into entering him by the guys at GW Loughborough who, as I am now convinced, are surely part of some conspiracy since he got...
