  1. I find it does that for me also, but I don't find that it has much effect as I then go over it with a light misting of the white primer which breaks up the sheen.
  2. The technique I am using to paint the figure is this: first airbrush a coat of Vallejo black surface primer over the entire figure, then after drying overnight, I lightly brush a coat of Vallejo white surface prime trying to hit mostly the high spots on the figure, leaving area like deep creases on clothing etc, black. After that dries overnight, I start applying the main coat using a wet palette to thin the paints. I keep applying light coats until I am satisfied with the coverage. Then let it dry overnight. This is the wet pallette I am using, it's available at Michaels stores in their artist paints area. The wet sponge underneath keeps the paper moist. And a tight cover keeps it from drying out . This is Vadim after the first application of the base color
  3. Perhaps it was this series. There are several characters in the series. I only have 3 of them
  4. The next in the series by Master Box in 1:24 scale is Vadim The box art and contents A simple kit to assemble. The challenge is in painting the figure to closely approximate the box art. When the paint dries, I will post some progress photos.
  5. Thanks ! Master Box Ltd is a Ukrainian company based in Dnipro. Don't know how they are able to continue producing such really detailed kits with a war going on in their backyard. They have a really nice line of WWII military & civilian figures in addition to these "fantasy style" subjects. And they recently came out with Ukrainian Army figures. SCALEHobbyist in Hudson NH near you carries their line.
  6. It is now finished ! Stay tuned for the next figure in the series, Vadim, coming to a Blog soon.
  7. I asked because I have that same stand. Mine is 2 in 1. A slightly larger one comes with it.
  8. Question: How do you keep your paint stand so clean and so free of paint overspray?
  9. As a diversion from wood ship building, I picked up 4 Master Box Ltd figure kits from a post apocalyptic series they introduced some time ago. One series is 1:24 scale and the other is 1:35 scale, I have kits in both scales. The first figure I did in the 1:24 scale is listed in my signature below, Raider Reaper. The other kits I purchased in the series are previewed in my post in Shore Leave - What did your received today The box art and contents:
