Hi, I've been trying to work out how to best do banners/flags for my 28mm historicals. My plan is to use transfers, but wanted a decent surface that I can use...
Question for you, Joe. In your picture there are what looks like a bunch of handle setups for miniatures you paint. Can you provide more detail of what they ...
A good tip I got from Lazlo at Hot-Lead.org was to use a large powder brush to dust off your miniatures. If you get a good quality one, they really work well...
Well I haven't posted on here for a while(or before, sorry cant remember) But I am doing a commission work for someone and thought I would share it with you...
I have seen some very nice results by using alumninum can metal as flags. Cut off the top and bottom, flat the metal between, cut to size, prime it and you can...
You could try PVA glue and cheesecloth...then after it's dried fill it in with something to smooth it out. not sure how heavy it will be though. Green...
I don't know about Joe's, but my setup works well for me. I got some 3/4" x 1" wooden spools from the craft store, and glued 3/4" washers to one end. For a...
That sounds interesting. Do you mind linking/posting a picture of this for details? I'm a visual learner, and would much better understand exactly what you...
Same here..I was having a hard time picturing what you were saying..I do get that they are devised to hold the figure itself while your painting but that's...
I use a junior roll top that I bought second hand, with stuff stuck all around and all over it. I put pics in the photos section for viewing. I included...
Ahh, okay, the figures you're painting all have flat bases. I am working with Slotta & other hollow bottom 1" bases, so the super glue to the bottom doesn't...
With the 20mm square base figures, I usually glue on a 20mm metal square on the base, so that it sticks to the magnetic paper in my storage boxes. Then, I...
Just a thought for you..You could take his same idea and just saw a groove on one end of those to insert your slottas into..then try maybe a dab of stickum gum...
Hey thanks for the pics..much better now that we can see em..So you've basically created a "rack" drying and holding station as you are painting several at a...
What I do, slottabase or otherwise, is glue the figure to a piece of scrap cardboard using PVC glue. I sometimes have to touch up the paint on the edge of the...
You should be able to do something similar. Try using hot glue to attach the bases to the holders. That's what I did with slotta bases back when I was...
Is that what was in your pictures on your desk? They looked more like some kind of block on a heavy wire... ... square on the base, so that it sticks to the...
As the title says I have a rather old figure that I need to strip. However since this fig was painted so long ago that my usual method of using Simple Green is...
I got glue to break apart by putting my piece in the oven at 175 degrees. This was super glue, but it might work. Also let me break apart the Apoxie Sculpt....
You could also put it in the freezer to break the glue. For the paint, I bought one of those "Sonic Scrubber" things; it's basically an electric toothbrush on...
Have you tried Acetone? (Only for use with metal figures, it dissolves plastic.) IIRC, it won't dissolve Epoxy glue, but it may soften it to the point it's...
http://www.coolminiornot.com/article/aid/323 is a good place to start. ... mountain-top snow effect on. I have never done a snow base. Any suggestions would be...
As one poster on this page says Bicarb of soda is not a good idea, it does indeed yellow over time. Neither is powdered sugar or salt, they attract bugs.Your...
... It's not soda but PVA glue can provide some yellowish hue after time. This can be avoided by adding some water based acrylic white paint into the mixture. ...
