Just ran through all 30 pages - amazing stuff! Did you ever use the David Krentz sauropod, or was that for something else?

It's another learning process. The gold paint has large flecks which makes the surface look rough (now I see why someone suggested airbrush paint). I actually watered the paint right down to almost an ink viscosity but it doesn't look like it.


Poo. I've just been sorting out gold paint for epic minis meself. Which brand is giving you trouble?

I have a secret theory that the vulcanic rise in NMM techniques was started because metallic paint really doesn't photo so well; it looks so much better irl.

Not that some of the nmm I've seen isn't beautiful, but it's not, imo, inherently better looking irl than real metals.

I have to say I've never tried NMM, but the thought of trying it on 6mm infantry gives me the willies.

I was going to use VMC bronze, myself, plus Ral Partha's old gold. I might piggyback on that airbrush paint tip if they turn out too coarse. Looks like VMA gold isn't too different.

Wouldn't mind a set of those Tamiya brachiosaurs myself. ;) They still hold up pretty well after... how many decades of production?

Yeah I know I've suggested airbrush paints several time before. In addition the use of testots dullvoat makes a huge difference of looking super shiny. Brush on is better than spray imo
