I had wood, so I cut it up.

Total shit.

I'm using Army Painter Warpaints because they have minimal amount of shades. I don't need 16 shades of brown or whatever. And I paint in cartoony colors.

My first (and only) paint attempt was doing race cars with Army Painter. I thought it worked fine.


Nice work Pete.

Why have you painted a turd purple?

BTW, that lamp with a big mag glass. I want to buy one when I come to USA this summer for painting projects here. Where would be the best place to get one? Preferable mail order, pref sent to my hotel.

Seriously? Vallejo paints get no love?

I have some bottles of Vallejo. The Game Color is not as good as the Model Color in term of coverage. But it does have bright colors. On the other hand, the Model Color, IMO, is easier to rub off, and the colors are muted.

Are we talking about the same Army Painter?

look up LUXO CFM for the best-in-class or Daylight magnifying lamp for a cheap-but-good. I've probably sold 750,000$ in those things in 10 years at my old job. The one I have I got from a distributor for 'sample'.

My only issue with the craft paints (Apple Barrel, FolkArt, Delta Creamcoat), is there are rarely good bright red and flesh tones. How are yall achieving those?

I am no newbie to painting (I have been doing it since 1995, though had to stop for a while due to losing finite motion in my hands for a few years), but I have never had good luck with getting respectable results with those.

I've had good luck with the Folk Art Artists' Pigment paints, and I really like the red in that line. I thin all of my craft paints with future/water (50:50) thinner and the craft paints work fine.

Nice job and very crafty, Superfly. The home made paint transport is awesome and I love your minis/paint jobs. Where do you buy you minis from? They look like a great fit for some games I play. In particular, I need to get my hands on some minis either are Deep Ones or would make good proxies. Any suggestions?

Andy: Find one on Amazon.com and send me the details. I'll order it and have it shipped to my place [I'm an Amazon Prime member, so free 2-day shipping on most things] and bring it up for you.

For all you dummys/drunks/tired/whacked out dudes.
