FW etched brass


Recommended Posts

I'm currently working on a Ultra marine project, and I'm wondering if any one here, has personally used and painted the Ultramarine etched brass from forge world.

looking for input regarding anything regarding the subject from handling, modeling, bending, attaching, base coating, painting..etc etc

thank you one and all for any input you can share

Give both sides a light sanding before attaching them (the 'underside' that is attached to the model, and the topside which is the side facing you.).

 

It will help both the glue to bond them (superglue works for attaching them - but be sparing of it - you don't need it gushing out around it) and the paint to stick to them.

 

PRIME them before painting. Use a PROPER PRIMER, not GW's overpriced spray paints (Chaos Black is NOT a primer.).

I've used the BA etched brass. It glues really easily and if you get ANY slipping out from the sides get rid of it quickly! The brass is so thin that any glue will obscure detail. Be sure to use thinned paints because you can loose detail in a hurry if you just paint from the pot.

I like it. It's easy to use, glue, and paint. Just use scissors to cut the pieces from the brass "sprue", It cuts real easy and leaves a nice clean edge.

There are 2 brass pieces in this WIP shot:
