Trying out minature mentor speed painting method

Have a look at the miniature mentor link and the speed painting DVD. Highly recommended.

Well i gave the spray can method a go. Definitely not the same fine shade of the airbrush method but definitely the very small amount of effort required. Given me inspiration to do it properly with the airbrush next time.

Painting with the red didn't work to well. Tried diluting it with jojo sonia's magic mix. Tried a lot of other combos as well and water worked best. Used a 10% surface tension breaker mix on the khador jacks as i thought it would work well on the big flat surfaces. In the DVD the guy uses GW baal red wash. Don't like the colour of the GW red wash so didn't try it. Might work though if i only use a little. However after reading the privateer press books it recommending diluting with ink. Will give it a try with some water next time. The red paint i used for khador was Matisse red light (PR254).

Keen to try the P3 paints. Got the trollblood paint set.
