  1. Yes I was talking about the cerberus, and I would recommend flow aid and matte medium vice straight up water. Since you are more then likely going to be using something in a white shade, look for a skim milk consistency (thin bordering on the edge of translucent, think of how GW ard'caot looks in the pot).

  2. The icegolem base is scratchbuild using a wyrd chronicle article

    The stripes were pictures of tigers and trail and error, it turned out making the stripes solid black did not work, it was off, so looked voor improvement and ended there

    Good job on the crew, a question and recomendation though.

    First, did you dull coat after you poured the resin? It looks like it clouded a bit.

    Second, good job on the strips though a thinned cold white (very light grey color) wash might ease the transitions a bit a produce a bit more realistic effect. Sort of the same process as painting a tatoo on a model.

  3. The bases are inserts from Dark Age, and beneath each the base was painted Ice Blue before gluing on the insert. The insert was then lightly dusted with white to pick out the edges, but keeping the majority clear.

    The models look great but I think the bases could use a little more love (as is they look a bit rushed). Would suggest that aside from the dusting of white on the edges (which really brings out the edges), the crevices need some definition too (try a thin bluish-green wash). The snow also looks rough, try adding a little water effect (or gloss medium) to it and you'll get a more realistic (slushier) look.

  4. I prefer to use non metal tools like these rubber ones found Here. Green stuff doesn't stick to it very well.

    I would also recommend you let the green stuff sit for a little bit before trying to work with it (two reasons, 1 it wont be as sticky and 2 it will be easier to work with).

  5. Jackalope - hare with antlers... ok? Traditionalists will disagree with this, as I did.

    Not sure what you are saying is non-traditional about the Jackalope model. As Wodschow says the Wiki article Here gives a very similar description of the mythical creature from American folklore. In fact aside from the miniacal grin on the model, it looks like virtually every representation of the creature I have seen for sale in outdoorsy shops in the midwest and southern US States.

    Here is one for sale at Cabelas for $99.00.

  6. Aside from the great suggestions already mentioned (patience, good brushes, fluid paints, etc) I haven't seen mentioned good light.

    I have 4 lights on my painting table, most in daylight wave lengths and most of the drafting table style (so I can easily reposition them where I need them). You will have trouble painting fine details if you cant see'm after all.
