I'm just not patient enough for it. Especially with hundreds of Orks to paint. :)<BR/><BR/>I next moved to using a "liner", which is a long bristled brush (sort of a smaller version of what they use for car pin striping). When I messed up though, it was messy.<BR/><BR/>Whatever you do, don't buy into the single hair/threat/bristle myth. To make a fine line with a brush you need a brush that comes to a fine point, and that will hold plenty of paint so it flows smoothly.<BR/><BR/>I'd say I stole the format idea from <A HREF="http://belloflostsouls.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">BoLS</A>, but my punchy call to action is green, and theirs is red, so it is clearly very different. :)<BR/><BR/>I'll try to put quick tips up each Friday, let's store them on the discussion site if you have them. If people want more in-depth of a tip topic, we can expand it to a full story.<BR/><BR/>Maybe we can even have a Hobby Month, where there is a new tip each day.Real Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06147138909835277505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7709017307374498723.post-87221210680024771052008-10-24T21:07:00.000-04:002008-10-24T21:07:00.000-04:00I've only purchased two so far and I use them exte...I've only purchased two so far and I use them extensively. <BR/><BR/>I can only imagine had I picked up the set! <BR/><BR/>BTW, Realgenius, I really like this format you've started! A great way to foster some continuous discussion as well as a quick way to get modeling and painting tips out without getting too in depth with a full on tutorial! Plus, it's a great way to pick out what folks really want to know about!grey_deathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03249453355399027291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7709017307374498723.post-79534395851884820532008-10-24T19:15:00.000-04:002008-10-24T19:15:00.000-04:00GW washes, you know...

Much of my style is all about keeping the paint from getting into them in the first place and painting around them. But every once in a while I have to touch up some spots and I've found that GW washes do a pretty good job at helping get them back. <BR/><BR/>Before the washes I was using a wash of my own by diluting Chaos Black to about milk consistency and filling in the spot!grey_deathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03249453355399027291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7709017307374498723.post-89717921846653865772008-10-24T14:54:00.000-04:002008-10-24T14:54:00.000-04:00I use the micron pens where I can but if that's no...I use the micron pens where I can but if that's not possible I change the way I paint and overlap my colors but leave a thin line of the first color showing... in effect creating a clean line.Space Hulk Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03522498406401972832noreply@blogger.com
