I would love to see picks of a lot of the stuff he has mentioned. Mike Chaney, You still up to doing some commissioned painting? If so how much would you charge to paint that Magnificent Ego's Paladin and horse? You can use the ezboard e-mail to discuss this with me if you wish.

P.s im realy getting into the rust apperarance on minitures as most of the time my efforts at this look suspiciously orange. Please Mr Chaney could i have some ideas where to go with this. I perfected many metalic apperance without metalic paints but rust is proving dificult!

When you compose the e-mail you click on the attachments, it will give you a browse option. You must know the folder the files are in and the names of the pictures you want to send. Using the browse deal you go through the list of folders until you see the one the pics are in. You may have to find the folder inside of another folder if you created it as a sub folder. Hopefully it is a primary folder and you'll find it quickly. Then click on the first picture you want to send. when you see its name in that little bar window you know you have ti selected, then hit the "open" button and it will "attach" it. Repeat until you are almost at 20 Meg for all your files. Then tell it your done with attachemnts and it will spend some time uploading the attachments to your e-mail, once it is done you just send it. So if you can do this let me know and I'll give you my e-mail to send them to. Remember, keep each sent e-mail under 20 megs. You might have to total them yourself.

Playing around with mixing colors a bit, a deep brown / red that's then applied in a partially transparent layer(s). I'd almost call it a wash or a glaze, but it needs to be just a bit stronger than those and applied in a manner consistent with regularly layering (although not in a pattern necessarily the same as one layers for shadows and high lights).

The paint was runny, and not keeping its color, so I think I'll strip it, and try again. ------------------ First Troll, Reverend Co-author of Castles and Crusades: Monsters and Treasure ------------------ Free C&C Stuff!

Posts: 416 Aug 22 06 11:15 PM Skeleton Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Rust...hmm. I actually do trust in a couple of different ways depending where the metal is. When it is part of the actual figures armament, I generally tend to do a wash of watered down brown and black ink (3 parts brown/1 part black) over the metal. That gets you a brownish tint which works great for adding a little weathering. To add more, you can go so far as to lightly drybrush a reddish brown to terracotta color on the very edges of the metal areas. I then go back and hit the metal with the highlight color again...that way it gives the appearance of wear and tear such as rust flaking off after the metal brushes against something or gets hit in battle. When it's part of the base...like broken weapons, shields, or whatever...I generally paint the metal up as usual. Then I dry brush it with terracotta and then hit again with the highlight color. I might actually do this a couple of times until it "looks right". Plus most of the time, once the flock and gravel are all on...looks pretty cool. This is what I've been doing with all my Cities of Death models' bases. I'm starting to experiment a little more with corrosion on colored and laquered armors....like Khornate armor. Pretty much that involves using the black and brown wash, but thinned down and applied in very transparent layers...more to discolor the armor than anything else.

White Dwarf magazine, an issue about the new ogre armies, also covered rust in a lot of detail. When I'm looking for that 'feel', I generally use a couple of chestnut brown ink washes and a few spackles of dark brown with a few more highlights to bring up the metal again.

Posts: 416 Aug 25 06 12:07 AM Skeleton Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I gotta admit, I was getting ready to cancel my subscription, but the production values have really picked up in the last 4 or 5 issues. Seem to have a lot more content from the UK...hence more 'Eavy Metal pages. And the articles that their painters have covered over the last couple of issues have been really good. I mean come on, Anodized Metal...frikkin' awesome. Just wish someone else could come out with a miniatures magazine that would last more than 6 issues. And I don't count Undefeated as a mini magazine... Although....if I could find writers.... Mike Chaney Art Director-Vampire: The Eternal Struggle, the World of Warcraft RPG, & Necromancer Games.

Today I started a goblin and a wraithy figure from Reaper (half man in armor, half cloak, with empty books - saweet!). I also gave an impromptu class to my daughter and her friend on painting. They painted up some old minis. Very cool. I was not expecting them to put blood on the swords though. Her parents arrive any minute. I'm wondering if I should splain, or just leave well enough alone. ~You can also find me on LiveJournal

It got too heavy with fiction and combat reports for a while there. I was buying it to learn to paint and follow color schemes, not read bad fiction. Over the weekend, I finished painting a wereboar from reaper and did some touch ups on some skaven. Stormblades or something? Look like Roman infantry almost.

Man, I remember I had this old GW shields that had sculpted figures of the rat god and the skaven symbols on 'em but all these came with were the standard round meteal shields on one side and wood on the other.
