dead bear + monster kolor

[motorbot]

here are a couple of my figures that i have blessed with mk. i've always used acrylic so this is a huge change, but i really dig the paint

Damn...those are some tight paint ops. Do you spend a lot of time masking to get everything so clean-looking??

[motorbot]

thanks


actually nothing was masked. the little white guy i just used a regular brush. the blue guy was mostly airbrush, a little bit of rubbing with acetone and then standard brush for the eyes and teeth.

love these little sculpts you got motor and big ups for doing them hand rotocasted!!

[Sanjeev]

No masking, huh? Very nice!

That raises an interesting question: you're hand-painting with Monster Kolor? How does it compare with other types of paints? I'm used to water-based acrylics like Citadel paints for Warhammer 40k miniatures or Tamiya acrylics for models and whatnot.

Nice to see people experimenting with this stuff!

it works pretty well with a brush. i normally use acrylic airbrush paints (createx and badger) both with an airbrush and reglar brush. it's not completely opaque so it will take a few coats. luckily it dries so fast multiple coats aren't a big deal

thanks osiris, i need to build myself a machine. it's getting old fast

slimer edition, taking pre-orders next week

[Sanjeev]

Interesting...I always just assumed airbrush paints weren't suitable for hand-painting! I'll have to play around with that someday!

Anyway, I love the slimer edition!
