Is Master's Brush Cleaner and Preserver actually a good product or is there a better brush cleaning/preserving product out there worth mentioning?
I finished some suits I built a while ago to play around with. Mostly I just tried inverting my color scheme for the green ones and for the third I wanted to see what a single color scheme would look like since I'm gonna try it out on my stealth suits.I also wanted to try making my savannah basing more interesting. I didn't put down any sand or pebbles before priming. I think I need to do patches of that along with the increased grass weeds and bushes. I'm gonna apply some on the next models to be primed tomorrow.
Anyone using this Mr hobby brush cleaner?
How do you paint good looking eyes on 20mm mini? Black dot look sugly
>>96689648Me? Oh I don't. They look terrible.
>Let us ride....>....TO CAMELOT!
>>96689715It's only a model
>>96689596No. Almost all is just mix of ethanol, acetone a butanone. So just buy acetone and it should be fine. Or IPA. Or whatever you like to smell the most.
WHO RUNS BARTERTOWN?>>96689719Also 'tis a silly place
Anyone got the chart that shows what citadel paints highlights contrast paints?
>>96689596Bought one of these like 5 years ago when visiting England. Haven't felt i need anything else and it's probably going to last me another 5-10 years at least
>>96689741>acetone a butanonei sure hope not, i wouldn't get any brush near that
Is Santa anon organizing a WIP SS this year?
>>96690326Mr Hobby stuff is mostly lacquer, it needs strong shit to clean. Similar how Tamiya "airbrush cleaner" is actually further thinned down their own cement and people successfully used it as glue replacement. Imagine using fucking solvent glue to clean your airbrush from residual paint, no wonder their users don't like "cheap" airbrushes that use rubber seals.
>>96690326Tamiyas airbrush cleaner has a disclaimer on the bottle that it's not recommended for cleaning bristle brushes.>>96690344It's actually almost the exact same shit as the cleaner, iirc there's like a 1 or 2% difference in the proportions. I don't think on or the other is thinner. And yeah, acetone can damage rubber.
>>96690344i use ipa to clean mrsurfacer and works fine, but i'm wary of acetone for brushes, for the airbush is okayish>Similar how Tamiya "airbrush cleaner" is actually further thinned down their own cementit's not even thinned down, is just 1% different to be able to market it as a different product
>>96690334Of course. I'm about to set the registration form up as i type this.
>>96690344But Tamiya has Kolinsky brush too
>>96690401nice
I bought some gunpla scribing tools to engrave shit on to minis.not sure what yet, but I have it.
>>96689200>painting faces again after a few monthsIt never gets easier, should try and paint more but helmets are just so cool
>>96691135Looks great though.
>>96691229Thank you, although I might hit it with another mid tone skin glaze again though to tone down some contrast especially on the eyebags, I'm not a fan of eavy metal style faces with harsh contrast lines
>>96691135the face is really good but the hair is pretty bad, highlighting individual streaks like that is not the way to go
>>96690334>food from 4chanRetarded.
Finished fast comissork to whip myself into shape to start painting regularly. >>96690326I can tell by the smell. I think mostly for the synthtic brushes that modelists are using with solvent-based paints. So they don't care about the brush that much. Well, I can check on GC-MS in the lab, kek.
>>96691135is that how just black contrast looks?
>>96691397you can also ask them for the msds, they are obligated to give it in several countries
>>96691369True, hair aren't done yet, right now he has those hair salon highlights>>96691399Nah it's mainly layering from a dark red to a light beige
>>96691453>Nah it's mainly layering from a dark red to a light beigei mean the amor
>>96690557>>96690401Here we go.aHR0cHM6Ly9mb3Jtcy5nbGUvemZxWjNGRDZIOXF2bVF5WDc=use base64
>>96691504Yay! Will you be sending e mails to previous participants or do I just sign through this
>>96691504thanks for all your hard work
>>96691485Oh sorry I'm an idiot. I did some grey drybrushing and details over the black contrast, then added a black wash
>>96691528Just sign up through this form, so i have all participants in one place. I have not planned to send a reminder to everyone who was taking part previously.
>>96691677All right! Thank you for your work, Anon.
>>96691504yay
>>96691504Thank you so much for doing this again for us, Santa! I will be sure to sign up shortly.
>>96691504Incredibly, if not straight up illegally, based.
The horde is growing.
>>96690344the airbrush isn't made of plastic so what's the big deal? I use acetone to clean up certain types of plastic too. I wouldn't soak them in it but things like glass filled nylon holds up fine to just being wiped off.
>>96692480I just have seen the teaser email for the new Warhammer Quest game. Those beastmen on the cover... I really hope for some new models, to go along with the excellent old ones.Yours are awesome. Will you settle for one skin tone eventually, or will they remain a mix? Also, show the guy in the back with the chain weapon pls.
>>96691504Signed up, I hope my giftee likes southern food because I recently found a general store that makes good jams.
>>96690344>He doesn't clean his airbrush with lacquer thinnerWhat a pussy
>>96692684Seals and other elements made from gum won't take well either those strong solvents or their fumes. Even "gentle" airbrush cleaning solutions are not advised to be used frequently. Expensive models use teflon seals, which are more resistant but still.
>>96692701Thanks, I started with the red-brownish tone initially, but added some darker and lighter ones later for some variety.Pic related is one of the nsfw models since it's going to be a mixture between Slaanesh Chaos Warriors and beastmen.
>>96691504I hope a lot of anons participate this year!
>>96691504I feel like america is going to have to be it's own thing this year with the tarrifs.
>>96692767Oh wow, thats unexpected. I could not see it on the pic above properly and expected some spiky ball or something. But it fits the theme.
>>96692918Thats something to consider, but i'll wait and see how many Anons will sign up this year. But i dont think it would cause bigger issues to keep USAnons separated if it needs to be.
>>96690344It's the exact same formulation. They just can't legally sell the exact same product as a different thing for a different price. Check the MSDS, it's literally a 1% difference, which can be considered a rounding error if anybody asks. You can buy a huge bottle of it for peanuts compared to the same volume of "bespoke" plastic cement. I did and it works completely the same, anybody saying otherwise was treating it differently than they would with "regular" glue. If you can't get past the dissonance, just use it to refill a Tamiya bottle so you have the nice applicator brush.
>>96692745idk what kind of seals his iwata had but the guy I used to work with had a 5 gallon drum of acetone under his bench and was always soaking shit in it. if you're using solvent based paint you obviously need solvents to clean it.
>>96692745>teflon seals, which are more resistantThat's an understatement, teflon was discovered as a residue from attempting to bottle a particular chemical solution and while attempting to dispose of the resiude it proved to be indestrutible, so when the military started refining uranium and had a huge problem replacing pipes and seals all the time the company with the indestructible residue was all like "Hey, we got this shit we can't destroy and we've just been stockpiling it, maybe we can try that?" and then teflon entered the market because seals and liners made of teflon stood up to refining motherfucking uranium.
>>96690334Is this what fell into Cadia?
>>96691504Santa, do you ever secretly match yourself with an Anon?Also do you know if the dried lizard has surfaced?
>>96692480>>96692767Based! Raa-Roo!notice the captured High Elves shield:RAA-ROO!
>>96691504Can anyone confirm if this was the same email address that was used last year?Want to make sure I don't drop my address into a random google fourm without checking
>>96691504Thanks Santa, i missed the last few years but im back in now
>>96693801>mfw I didn't even check and just filled the form instantly because I got too excitedpls send me pepperoni pizza
>>96693801Yes, I have emails from him from the past few years at that address (dots dont matter in email addresses, it all goes to the same place)Also the thank you for your response thing is always in german which also fits
>>96694123Wait should I have gotten a confirmation email when I signed up? I didn’t see one and now i’m thinking I fucked up my email.
>>96694327Only if you specifically requested one at the end of the form.I did because one year my submission didn't go through but santa worked his magic and still managed to fit me in.If you are unsure, email that address and ask.
>>96694355It would help if I could read.
>>96693919I considered it might be an imposter but i figured some basedboys from /b/ couldn't fuck my life up any worse than i have myself
>>96694368many such cases
What's the deadline for signing up for Santa? I never participated befor and I admit I'm little scared.
>>96694497A few weeks, just sign up dudeAre you just going to hem and haw over this then complain that you waited too long?
>>96694497It's literally there in the signup form anon, come on. 31st October is the deadline.
>>96694497no deadlines for scams, bro
is painting the base first then gluing the mini a bad idea?
>>96694786If you do this, you need to pin the model to the base with some thin wire (i use paper clips) or the mini is essentially only glued to the layer of paint on the base rather than the base itselfIt usually makes for a better look to do the base first but both work.You just have to make sure you dont drill all the way through the foot of a mini when putting the pin in like I sometimes do, you can kinda see it on the second mini from the left.
>>96692797I know santa anon said there was like 100-ish people, and it's been declining for a while.I worry that things still haven't picked up since the hack and things are going to be way down this year
Sculpted some folds in to make the hood a bit more interesting. What do you guys think?
Thought the dino is done but looking at the picture I'll have to do a bit more work on the feathers
>>96694843>If you do this, you need to pin the model to the base with some thin wire (i use paper clips) or the mini is essentially only glued to the layer of paint on the base rather than the base itselfOr do what I do and scrape the connection points on the base and the feet with your hobby knife before applying the glue.
>>96694890That might be the case which is a little sad./40kg/ is trying to run one but it's got 3 people so far.I also sometimes wonder if the moscow-anon I sent to a few years is still alive since he apparently has not signed up since the war
>>96694964That's really only good for plastic to plastic welding , if you need to use superglue it's pretty fragile.
>>96694966>/40kg/ is trying to run one but it's got 3 people so farI saw that and it's honestly pretty sad. I mean considering the schizos that post there I wouldn't participate unless someone forced me at gunpoint but still.
>>96694966I would fucking never sign up for a /40kg/ SS. I could not hold more contempt for the people in that general, and have zero trust for them. The person running it is probably a fed, and the people who have signed up are probably doing it specifically to send /k/ brownies or something like that.
>>96695017I only drop by to post my models,it's an absolutely insufferable shithole.
>>96694497>I never participated before and I admit I'm little scared.Do it. If you're interested in how things have gone the past few years, I've been maintaining imgur galleries for the posts we made in our threads:>2024https://imgur.com/a/g7MfJE5>2023https://imgur.com/a/e9QOmJJ>2022https://imgur.com/a/2OWxHpg>2021https://imgur.com/a/TKfeLxU>2020https://imgur.com/a/TeduVrJ>>96694786>is painting the base first then gluing the mini a bad idea?Depends entirely on the model, what with base-toppers and tactical rocks bein' da "in fing" deze days. I'm much happier with my Apothecary's than I am with the model itself. As you can see here, I'm painting them separately and plan to glue them together and touch up at the end.Yes, he really is that stupid blue-ish colour. Next Apothecary I paint I will try a different method.
>>96695064It can be alright at times but the schizoposting has been really bad lately.
>>96695104>imgur banned in my countryGod damn it
>>96694904
>>96695186holy fuck where do you live?
>>96695207Imgur blanket blocked UK IPs a few days ago, as the parent company were informed about a month ago that they're likely to be fined over some ongoing data protection issues
>>96694904Looks impeccable.
>>96691504>aHR0cHM6Ly9mb3Jtcy5nbGUvemZxWjNGRDZIOXF2bVF5WDc=Lookin' forward to it!(...I still need to paint anon's gift from last year... -_-; )
>>96695401>mfw I painted both of my last year gifts
