Mydnight Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Here's my Convict Gunslinger. I'm prepping for Gen Con and only have a trio of models left to do. Hopefully those will be up shortly after they're finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mydnight Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I like this dude! I like the overall dark look to him Nice work! Thanks! I wanted to go for a darker skin tone that was more of a "too much fun in the sun for too many days" kind of look. A sort of permanent dark tan. I'm happy with the results :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoeRender Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I like it , but I feel like it needs a wash to blend in the dry brushing a bit . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I would agree with Foerender's comments, however if the chalky effect is not drybrushing but instead the sealer you used I would recommend respraying it then immediately taking it inside and placing it under some hot lights to prevent the sealer from being effected as much by the humidity (a trick I have to use quite a bit down here n the big easy).

The mini was washed once already following the drybrushing, but I have had some bad luck with sealers :-\ I prefer to have a matte finish to avoid things being too shiney, what kind do you use? Also, I welcome more tips/tricks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 I use two layers of Krylon Satin Finish for protection followed by two layers of Testors Dull Coat to kill the shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gotta try out some different finishes :-\ Maybe my Vallejo Game Colors Matt Varnish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoeRender Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 testers is the best . also I blow dry them right after I spray with the warm setting . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmiles Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Nice work on the Convict. I've been thinking about picking one up, but I need to work on finishing up what I've got first. I would agree with Foerender's comments, however if the chalky effect is not drybrushing but instead the sealer you used I would recommend respraying it then immediately taking it inside and placing it under some hot lights to prevent the sealer from being effected as much by the humidity (a trick I have to use quite a bit down here n the big easy). So that's why my minis got all gritty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaslyne Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 I love how his scars came out. I was also having the same problem with a sealer I'd bought from a game store, so I bought testor's dullcoat instead as mentioned above and haven't had a single issue since. It's a little more pricey but it's very much worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Testors Dull Cote is a great product however, it doesn't lay down a thick enough protective layer for me even after two coats. That is the reason I usually lay down the Krylon Satin Finish first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
