Ha! Not really my choice of colors, but I was just copying the box arts. Yes, Carver heads could be magnetized just fine. Just be sure you have small diameter magnets. I have used 1*1. 2mm diam is about as large as you can squeeze in there. Glad you like them. Still have Collodi in the box and Nico crew on the paint table. Thanks guys.

It’s been a while... Mr.Pumkin and Mr.Woolsack are coming. Not sure I got the heads the way I wanted to, but they somehow provided a lot of challenge to me.

Thanks for the nice comments!

OURS!

The Lilliths look is just terrific, never seen her painted so clear and detailed. Her sculpt detailing is a bit on the soft side making her hard to paint. Say, do you use any sort of magnifying glasses\goolges\visors? My eyesight is 100% but I cant imagine how this level of detailing could be achieved, not to speak about techique itself.

Well I dunno. I just started using 60ml bottles. All the previous ones(and plenty like 5 or7) were 17ml. And I notice the difference in smell and consistency. However I just finished 25 metals for SAGA primed from the 60ml and everything still was fine. However I havent rubbed it for a purpose for sure. Look, there is a differnce in a way it works. The normal hardware store primer is designed to literally penetrate and grip the surface. The Vallejo one is not. It makes a resin layer on a surface which is like more "whole and even". It's finer then the regular primer is and it's less to obscure the details. Some would say it's even more like undercoat then a primer. But again the grip to the plastic is much better then to the metal and it's hadly coming off. What pressure do you use? Do you dillute it? I spray it almost from the pot, maybe 10% of water, no more. And the pressure is about 15psi.

I have a model which I primered white brushing it on. Since it's white, i overflooded it a bit trying to get more coverage. Since I lost some details I wanted to wash it out and reprime. NO MATTER which fluid I sucked it in for days (spirits,chlorine, various home cleaners, brake fluid even maybe white spirit), the thing doesnt come off. And I rubbed it with brush while wet. Acetone probably would work but the model is plastic.... Well, I brush it on. I airbrush it on. Works equally well. It sticks better to the plastic then to the metal. There are two rules I follow. When airbrushing don't try to get coverage from the first two coats. Apply them really misty having a couple of minutes between them. The third one will cover everything and you'll see that you spent less primer then trying to cover from the first coat. I usually end up with 4 layers with the last being grey over black. Paint the model next night, or two, or three. That is it. But it still will chip from the metal when falling on a floor. And it doesnt like sanding when it comes to other plastics than the minis. One more thing. The stuff in the dropper bottle smells and feels a bit different than in bigger ones. Like it has more resin maybe... The bigger bottles feel more close the the gesso. However according to Vallejo it's the same stuff just in different bottles.

Oh, I see thanks. No, just picked up Waldgeists and was thinking upfront. 4 probably would be enought considering I have 2 more of Lilliths.

Thanks.

This thread is kinda old but still. Does it make sence to make 6 markers for the 3 of Waldgeists?

Got one too. What are these for? Just an Ad or they could be used in game?

Well, after a long time did Graves and Nekima.

Seen this tutorial last year in your blog, very nice! Thanks!

Nekima and Graves which I plan to sqeeze in autamn. I've also got Nicodem box, but I dont have plans for it currently.
