<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Orcish Plaid"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Orcish Plaid DnD mini I am working on. Wanted to go for a highlander/ Celtic feel for the orc and give the orc a woven kilt/skirt with a plaid pattern to match the skin tone.

It is just an ink job aligned to the natural weave of the chain-mail on the mini. Let me know how it looks! Please kindly.

And is white primer really that bad? The bottom right mini was painted over white, turned out OKAY?

First of all your Paintjobs are incredibly flat. You're using one color to Paint one section and only one color. Just a careful wash with a darker color to fill the recesses would go a Long way.

Yes, White Primer sucks for Most applications. Can't you see that it shines through everywhere?

Lastly, use less Paint. You're applying waaaay to thick of a coat. Thin your paints. Always thin your paints. To a point where they're Just a little thicker than water.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/779175/10541623.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/779175/10541623.page GMT Orcish Plaid http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/779175/10541668.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/779175/10541668.page GMT Orcish Plaid

Would be very appreciative of tutorial recommendations. I know that is doing the homework for me, but I'd rather learn by trying than researching tutorials for the tried and true methods. Thanks kindly for the advice! V/R EJF

You can get alot of ideas watching others. You dont have to do what they do, but it will help give you ideas, then you can come to your own conclusion what the best method would be based on the knowledge you gained from peoples video's.

But i agree you learn better doing stuff your self, but getting as much basic knowledge as you can first makes the whoole learning process easier.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/779175/10541671.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/779175/10541671.page GMT Orcish Plaid http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/779175/10541713.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/779175/10541713.page GMT Re:Orcish Plaid ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/779175/10542796.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/779175/10542796.page GMT Orcish Plaid
But yeah grey is good, thats what i use.

EDIT - Example, you have a model upside down and then spray with black ( so it acts like a shadow ), and then white spray with the model facing upwards ( so acts like a highlight ).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/779175/10543367.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/779175/10543367.page GMT Re:Orcish Plaid apoc minis that I botched really bad with black primer:

I applied a white primer for a re-paint, but I was a little concerned about filling the relief details. Here, perhaps an olive drab primer would work better for the "G.I." feel I am trying to get.
