    Where to buy Winsor and Newton Series 7 online?

    Dick Blick was my source, but I'm in the States. I seem to remember having trouble finding them elsewhere and that the packaging on the actual brushes said something along the lines of Series 7 for Dick Blick. I know when I was looking to get large quantities of Kleen Klay, Blick didn't sell it...

    Can oil and acrylic and enamel mix?

    I've used dry pastels for weathering on armor models, I would imagine oil based is just another delivery system for pigment, easier blending, just stickier than paint. If you are talking about blending as in layering, Bob and Gordy have it covered perfectly. If you mean blending as in mixing...

    Any compilations of refrence photos?

It does make you appreciate the intricacies and detail when forced to look at something completely isolated. That said, loading 20 pics onto the...

    Oils resin figures in crock pot(slow cooker)?

    My resin supplier recommends a low temp post-cure heating of a few hours. So, unless it produces some mild outgassing (isocyanate urethanes break down into benzene-like compounds) or leaching that would hurt paint adhesion, you may even be helping the product by 'crocking' it. Couldn't hurt...

    What Kind of Light...

    I heard of this but never experienced any problems that I'm aware of. I'm not prone to headaches, that's why it was easily traceable to the bulb. Again it was years ago and they were pretty expensive, so maybe that technology/quality has improved and I should give them another shot.

    What Kind of Light...

    Has anyone had issues with CFL and headaches? I tried a CFL Daylight years ago and would get 'em, which I didn't (or don't) with a normal incandescent. It may have been a bad pack, it certainly wasn't cheap. I didn't notice any perceptible flickering, but soon after working under it my melon...

    Amazing sculpt/ paint of Leonidas

    Impressive work. Same method used to for making dummy heads for film. Either silicone or pharmaceutical gelatin makes very convincing skin since it's slightly translucent. It also acts skin like as well. Some dentures, eyes and time spent punching in hair and you have a great replacement head.
