ChrisLinden Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share #122 Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) Chris Thank you for your response. I guess I'll have to get some "ink & stain" and just practice...practice & practice some more. I don't hope to get anywhere close to your results but maybe I can get a little close. Can you at least tell me what brand of "ink & stain" you used that way I can use the same things you used. Again keep up the great work it is such an inspiration. best regards J The paints I use are Citadel (Warhammer miniature paints) and they are water acrylic based. This makes it easy to work with as opposed to Humbrol-like paints. Contrary to popular belief, these modern acrylic paints hold perfectly fine on metal also. They have a range of "inks" or "washes/shades/glazes". The names are all esoteric/fantasy. But basically Nuln Oil = just black ink. Calthan Camouflage = Green etc...

7 Provinces Posted April 2, 2016 Share #123 Posted April 2, 2016 Hi Chris, just out of curiosity: do you exclusively use Citadel paints? Do you brush these on or do you use an airbrush (as well)? Thanks!

ChrisLinden Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share #124 Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) Hi Chris, just out of curiosity: do you exclusively use Citadel paints? Do you brush these on or do you use an airbrush (as well)? Thanks! Yes i find working with them very userfriendly. Sometimes i use a can of black acrylic spraypaint to "prime" metal parts. It dries in minutes after which you can easily put any color on. If you like lots of golds and yellows, a brown undercoat works best to get a clean metalic finish. I use brushes. Airbrush is a lot of hassle and usually not worth the trouble of masking everything If you want some photos/tips you can find them in my guide on the forum Edited April 2, 2016 by ChrisLinden Piet and 7 Provinces 2 Quote Finished: Pinta, Amati Current Build: Friesland Mamoli 1:75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisLinden Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share #126 Posted April 2, 2016 Amazing work Chris. One of the things that I think detracts from models is the contrast between finished wood and painted areas (especially, where photo etched or cast metal parts are used). You did a really great job tying all those areas together. Can I ask what you use for the white areas? I find that most white paints are still too bright, and I would like to find a way to dull it either with a wash or something similar. I've toyed with the idea of using a light diluted stain, and other options would be to try an off-white paint like ivory or cream. Yes that was my goal: to get a more unified look instead of the brass parts feeling tacked on. You mean the white of the underwater ship? I mixed a tiny bit of ochre into white to make it yellowed. Using a wash to stain it is nice because you will bring out the texture of the planking. But its really hard to get an even finish on such a large area, It will look blotchy quickly. A good way of making rich whites on ornaments is basing it with a light gray first. Then add layers if slightly watered down white. This will look much better than a single coat of white.
