Keep you goggles on !! Thanks bud, it's all about having fun.

According to research I made on nuclear forums (with lot's of people from the area) it might actually make a difference, specially when the test is water (pure or distilled) versus heavy water. 25% more fluidity, evaporation temperature and density can achieve results we can measure. We know our...

That is actually cheap, but since we can find jars with 10ml and 25ml, it's a "cheaper" test to make, but if it works, then the wallet will be hit. I wish I could use contaminated water too, I would love to make fluorescent paints naturally :-)

Why Not, right ?

Hey Guys, Just decided to start a crazy experiment with acrylics... After obtaining surprising results with OX Gall Liquid (product made with a cow liver enzime) as a fluidity enhancer and paint retarder, especially in artistic paints, such as "Heavy Body" acrylics, I did some extensive...

Glad to see I could help Victor... LED lamps with high CRI are getting cheaper everyday, so soon we all can replace the obsolete halogens and have easier access to correct light source. When I find some halogen desk lamp on the web for sale I might post here to keep the post alive. Best Julian

Glad you guys liked it ! It's a important technique for my figures...

Yup, Artis Opus are the standard, but overpriced because of packaging. Either way, Army Painter is releasing these kind of brushes too, so it's a good thing to have options, specially for value / price benefits, if they work in similar way...

They sure are made to last. Also, I use VMS SLO-MO retarder medium on the dry brush paints, works like a charm, perfect open time for most jobs, and super smooth. You can even add glaze medium to smoothen things out. Having a good tool like these kind of brushes, acrylics these days have all...

Looks Great !!

Hey Guys, Here is my most recent review for the Michigan Toy Soldier Blog, about the round tipped brushes for "Dry Brush" technique. We now have several players in this market with brushes of amazing built quality, so now we have options and also greater value for money. We can now...

Thanks bud !

Thanks Nap ! The red lens is made by Greif, they have several sizes and colors for scale model headlights and such. This one I masked the center and painted the outer edge with a transparent glossy red, giving that look. The gun is just too big to drill a hole and simulate a "normal"gun that...

Great scene but do we really need that much cartoonish six pack abs ? looks like a he-man toy.

Hey Guys, This is my latest work, a 75mm sculpt by the amazing Joaquin Palacios, what a complex figure ! It's a Black Sun Miniatures release. This is posted as a SBS on the WIP forum, and here as finished work, now with pro photos under correct light. My skin tones are Abteilung 502 oils...

Hey Guys, finally finished, with all the bells and whistles. See here pro photos under indirect sunlight, how the flesh tones looks very natural, without the regular fantasy higher contrast. Hope you like the results, and please, let me know your thoughts. I will post on the forum for finished...

Thanks Nap ! About the skin, there are 2 points I would like to mention, first is that Grasshopper is correct about my low contrast approach, I like my models and painting to be on the realistic level as similar to real life and not "cartoonish" like some high contrast figures, specially with...
