Good detailed video mate. what would really be helpful is a video showing HOW you are attaching the model to such a base. all the vids i've seen on this subject so far have just omitted this important step. obv some drilling involved but would be good to see.
@theminiaturemen40kАй бұрын
Gotcha I’ll try to keep that in mind. Often with these bases you can just superglue them directly but in some cases I do drill and pin them with paper clip bits

From other viewers experience the plaster I specifically used I guess works best, other brands are too brittle. If the plate is uncoated and just bare paper it should stick if it gets plenty saturated

One question, which varnish would you use and at which stage ? I always have the issue of varnish either dulling down my colours or being too shiny :(
@theminiaturemen40k8 ай бұрын
I use Testors dull cote on most things. Ak ultra matte if I want something super dull. For these bases you don’t need a varnish but it would help hold down the scatter foliage some so I would do it after that stage but before doing the paper plants.
@azir648 ай бұрын
If I can give anyone a tip. If you are superglueing any flat surface to another relative flat surface. Try to either make a lil hole or even cuts on the even surfaces. It helps the glue settle and adhere more strongly. Also prevents it from breaking off from falling etc.

Had any issues with staining on resin 3D prints? This weekend I panel lined some proxy Necrons using an oil wash (Daler Rowney Lamp Black + white spirit) on 4K prints and it seemed like the oil wash dulled the acrylic colors nearby in a way that would would not wipe off, even with white spirit on a makeup sponge. Thinking it was the raw matte acrylic that stained easily (Vallejo Xpress colors over zenithal prime) I brushed on satin varnish before my next batch, but still got the same stain / dulling even far from the panel lines where the oil wash was applied. Not sure whether it was the resin print texture, matte acrylic underneath, or some other issue, but I'll have to do some tests. Frustrating to deal with unexpected staining.
@theminiaturemen40k9 ай бұрын
If I had to guess it would be the 3d print texture. Did you do a gloss varnish before washing? If not. that should alleviate some of the problems you’re having. Any time I use oils on anything slightly textured it wants to just live in the small recesses
@kristophermelin71609 ай бұрын
Also, something to consider - something like Streaking Grime or other weathering products are MADE to leave residue on the outer surfaces, and not just in the nooks and crannies, so with those, I try to avoid much wipe off, and stick with subtle movement and manipulation as it sets up. With the panel liners, that effect may or may not be the desired effect. Best bet is try them out, and get comfortable what gives you the effect you want. Thanks- great video!
