What paint would I use if I was using gameswork shop paint ???
@Sorastro6 жыл бұрын
Hi there! OK, for German Camo Dark Green you can use Castellan Green mixed with just a little black, for German Field Grey you can mix roughly equal amounts of Castellan Green and Dawnstone, and for German Uniform you can use a roughly 3:2 mix of Warboss Green and Dark Reaper. I hope this helps :)

Really nice painting! Do you think Kabalite Green is a good substitution for german uniform, as a games workshop equivalent? Because i only have games workshop colors :/

just wondering...how do you get rid of your mold lines? I've heard the professional painters use a chemical to help get rid of them...what's your thoughts??? And fantastic paint job by the way :)
@annekekramer38356 жыл бұрын
James McRoberts: as a chemical engineer, I'd say they use a solvent. Mold lines are usually very thin, so it dissolves fast. However, it is impossible that nothing of the miniature itself will dissolve! I understand why professionals would use this, even though it will damage the mini: to save time. The best way still is to use a crafting knife and remove mold lines manually.

HI James! I just scrape away as best I can with a craft knife. I don't always get every line mind you.. :)

Google the DakkaDakka paint compatibility chart, it lists several of the big model paints with the matching colors from other lines. Army Painter, Citadel, Vallejo Game and Vallejo Model are all listed as well as some others, a very helpful chart to be sure!
@Speekeasy6 жыл бұрын
I looked through it as well and couldn't find a match for the specific green he used. I have the entire Game Air set, and a bunch of citadel greens and none seem to match this. I did a basecoat with Game Air Dark Green, but it's definitely not the same. Would love some advice as well.
