Chaplain Raeven Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) Good looking bike you got there. i'm always surprised to see the amount of life you manage to give to a practically complete black model.

Interrogator Stobz Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) Hey thanks man, nice to get some cool feedback, black is kind of horrible to paint so I'm glad he turned out alright.

Interrogator Stobz Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Â Hey thanks man, nice to get some cool feedback, black is kind of horrible to paint so I'm glad he turned out alright. Â I'm not a big fan of painting black either. Do you only use highlights or do you paint different shades of black/gray? Â For the Black: I base coat with Chaos/Abaddon Black, I then wash the undersides etc. with Nuln oil to flatten it; I then paint everything else and come back to it once I've tidied up any misses. Then I edge highlight in Fortress Grey (and ad a little very watered down colour to some top areas), and finally I use the lightest dry-brush ever to bring up the top aspect areas (like the zenethal concept with spraying) and to weather a little to make it seem like he's moving forward. I then hit the rivets etc. The true weathering is coming when I've done the bases, that way they get base colours 'splashed' up an onto them. This guy is a little rough, but he'll do as a basic elite dude, a step or two above the tactical marines paint-job. Â Hope that helps, Stobz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Raeven Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I'll have to give that a try with my next black guys. Thank you for the guide Brother Stobz, it does help. Interrogator Stobz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epher Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I have a question for you. jbaeza94 and I were discussing priming Forge World resin models. Since you have a lovely squad of Tempests in your painting queue, we were wondering if you have any experience with priming them and what you intended to use for primer for them.  Thanks in advance! jbaeza94 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Hey Epher, no sweat.  I just did that job over the last couple of days. Firstly I cleaned all the bits with an old tooth brush in warm water with dish washing liquid. That removes the annoying coating left over from their casting which prevents paint sticking properly.  After they are fully dry (yesterday) I just use a can of matt black spray from a local supplier (I can't remember the brand but it is a quality car enamel). I keep the coats very light, they are only there to cover the minis so other paint can go on top,  not to clog up the details.  I hope that helps... elmo and Epher 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbaeza94 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Hey stobs, is there a way to know if you got all the mold release off? My resin felt kinda slick before the wash, but it was still a little slick, not much though, after. Is this just a quality of the resin or residue?

Epher Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Thanks for the advice, BS! My tempest got a bath in Simple Green to get rid of the previous paint job. The GW Chaos Black spray seems to sticking well now. Interrogator Stobz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Simple green will do it too  Hey stobs, is there a way to know if you got all the mold release off? My resin felt kinda slick before the wash, but it was still a little slick, not much though, after. Is this just a quality of the resin or residue? Not too sure, mine were all matt resin after my wash and prior to the painting, and they took the paint really well.  If there is still shine I'd just repeat the process to make sure. Better that than paint bubbles and other messes. If not, FW resin is immune to damage from many petroleum products and simple green etc.; if you give those a light brush on with that toothbrush you should remove the mold release.  BS Edited May 15, 2016 by Brother Stobz elmo 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I use methylated spirit or alcohol to remove stubborn release agent but normally soapy water and a toothbrush work well enough. The problem is that you cannot really tell until you spray. :( Â Spray primer handles residue far better than brush on too. I use either GW Chaos black (RW/HH) or Army Painter matt black (all the rest). Interrogator Stobz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt_Reaper Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Methylated spirits...it does it all. Removes release agent, strips paint, gives me a reason to not use dettol for either. Interrogator Stobz and elmo 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
