Hit it with plastikote sealer. It cuts through thr release agent and helps the subsequent primer adhere better

I believe it's one of the reasons we're seeing more NMM as it allows control kver reflections more. In fairness, cabinet lights are much better now and judges look under a daylight lamp when judging, but with glossy surfaces can still misbehave

My observation is that GD entry styles do tend to lean into a few as painters spot ones they like and refine over years, so those are the ones that improve more. But there is a general change over the years. Some styles suffer because they're too subtle or don't work well under cabinet conditons too

They're a bit good!

I've not been online too much recently, I hop on today and your post is one of the first things I see. It made me very happy seeing everyone's models. Thank you for doing this every week!

Here's Vulkan fighting Magnus, models painted by me, photo by me, photo paint over by Artists Empires.

I can't remember if RO water is an OK substitute as that's available in most Maidenhead Aquatics

They're all a bit good!

Thanks! Never really attempted orange before and with the right shades it's coming out nice!

The photo has been quite kind in fairness 😊

Much appreciated!

Cheers! The sculpt really lends itself to a crisp paint job

Sorry to hear that! Feels like only yesterday you'd taken over the helm!

Thanks. It's broadly a pale grey undercoat and then Trollslayer, shaded with Wildrider + Evil Sun and then a touch of Khorne Red. Will then push it into Fire Dragon Bright and add a bone or lemon I think.
