captain sox Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 are you painting by hand or airbrush? Whatever method you are using, it's awesome! Great stuff!

WarriorFish Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Thanks sox, I just use a large brush and a methodical approach. Practice makes perfect! Plus I could never get the hang of making the airbrush work. Maybe one day but I might just be too set in my ways :P captain sox 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304937-the-lord-commissar-paints/page/6/#findComment-4068111 Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmo Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Try the tamiya range, they have loads of choice but are a little pricey. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304937-the-lord-commissar-paints/page/6/#findComment-4068149 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Progress is good, I decided to break some of the white out because it felt like I was doing lots of painting for no apparent difference! So all going to plan, I'll mostly be left with all the details on the back to finish off. Might try and get the lenses done today. nismogrendel 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304937-the-lord-commissar-paints/page/6/#findComment-4075190 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Looking great there WF. The Baneblade can be a bit of a morale sapper as you spend loads of time without seeing much progress then all of a sudden... it is complete :) Keep at it - it will be worth it in the end ;) WarriorFish 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304937-the-lord-commissar-paints/page/6/#findComment-4075198 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Yeah, I've got some more colours on it now and it no longer looks like I've been painting for nothing :lol: Unfortunately my Brazen Brass is on its last legs which may be a problem but otherwise I seem to be having a very productive day :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304937-the-lord-commissar-paints/page/6/#findComment-4075248 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Good progress for the day :) Bit of a shoddy picture, I'll make sure to take a better one once the rear is finished. I'm well on track for an easy finish this coming week :tu: nismogrendel and UltraRich 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304937-the-lord-commissar-paints/page/6/#findComment-4075300 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 I don't know Vel, I'd say that's a normal sized happy face... :P I should get some time to devote to my vow mid week, I can then pick off the remaining bits towards the end of the week ready for my next vow :D It's been a long time since I've done a completely new kit so I'm hoping I can get the Knight done fairly quickly - don't want to be an 11th hour completion ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304937-the-lord-commissar-paints/page/6/#findComment-4077333 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrik_Ironfist Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Anyone got tips for concentration on simple green to strip my latest additions?

Vel'Cona Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I use 1:4 SG:Water for mine, but I've heard 1:6 and thinner will work. The biggest tip I can use is warm (not hot) water and patience; I generally let my models soak overnight. Also, be realistic with just how "stripped" you want them to be. Metals will generally come 100% clean with enough elbow grease, but plastics tend to absorb color so you may not get them completely down to bare plastic. Your scrubbing tool is important, too. My best results were with a sandpaper "sponge". They're designed to get wet and you can get 'em for like 4 bucks at the hardware store. Good luck!

WarriorFish Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 I've never used it, but I have heard people use it without water after an overnight soak.
