1. F...Hey Blue, I will try to answer as best I can!<br />1. For the cloth, typically it is 1-2 coats of ink, then a thin layer of regular paint as a highlight, as sometimes the highlight looks too 'white' with just the ink.<br /><br />2. and 3. For thinning... I kinda do it by feel. Maybe 1:1 water:paint, though sometimes I just use a wet brush and use the paint straight. The ink is typically not diluted, but I often load my brush with water before putting in the ink. Black ink I usually dilute though, about 1:1<br /><br />4. I use some GW washes, but the inks are vallejo game colour inks. I use GW ogryn flesh wash, and sometimes use their other washes to add a bit more depth if the ink is not dark enough. I find the current GW yellow wash, Casandora Yellow, works really well to shade the Vallejo yellow ink.<br /><br />5. With grey and white, it can be hard to see the gradient. Typically, I spray from above and around the sides, still above though. I want to get a decent white layer on as much of the raised detail as possible, so the figure often looks more white than grey by the end of the priming. The colours could also be washed out by my pictures - my camera is about 6 years old now, just a point and shoot!<br /><br />Hope this helps!Timborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04909466377691681916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2901857762286453676.post-62051342098287043022013-06-29T05:46:47.115-07:002013-06-29T05:46:47.115-07:00Ok..Great pictures...very helpful.

How much do you thin out your paint....or all those all ink colors?<br />3. If inks...do you thin them at all or are they neat from the bottle?<br />4. GW inks?<br />5. In your first picture the figure looks pretty much white...do you use the white spray only from directly above the figure or do you get a fairly good coat everywhere but the deepest recess?<br /><br />Of course I shouold also say that they look fantastic particularly when you consider the amount of time ou put in.Blue in VThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16420605978612894112noreply@blogger.com
