Gaming Posting
So since I have not posted here in...forever, figured I'd share another gaming blog. Some online buddies asked me to track my latest foray into miniature painting, so, for better or worse, here it is.
Step 1: Primed
Step 2: Black Bits
Step 3: Drybrush
Step 4: Paint!
Step 5: Brush on the dip
So a few notes about this. First, satin finish spray paint is a BAD IDEA. Its so smooth that it takes at least two coats of paint to get anything to stick. Its ok this time, but next time I will use flat. Secondly, I did all the black and then all the drybrushing...and then I got impatient and finished a single figure by painting the flesh and then leather straps. After that was dry, I painted on some water based wood stain. Was not sure if it would work like the varnish-y type, but lo and behold, it seems to work well! That said, the shot above is after only about a half hour of drying. Its still quite wet. Will post a final-final shot tomorrow once it has time to fully "cure".
