The Project is finished and I'm happy with the results! Total time on one mini took me about 6hrs but you can't even tell its a cheapo dollar store army man. I'm also limited on paints and only have about 6 colors.The paint used was cheap (Craft Smart) brand acrylic from Michael's coming in at 2bucks a bottle (Way cheaper than GW brand but not as good in quality) The base was also a 1 1/4" wood square had at Michael's.
I barely put a dent in my Pro Create poly clay! One pack can go a long way....
Miliput and Green Stuff- aka Kneadatite should work for a project like this as well.
Way to go!! That´s the way I like it...cheap stuff turned into something great. (Though I haven´t got the talent to do what you´ve done there)
ReplyDeleteI agree, he doesn´t look like a dime store fig anymore...great!!
I´ve more or less the same philosophy about doing the hobby on the cheap...I shan´t get started about what I think about certain "brand" name paints specifically "made" for the hobby or certain types of Creosote re-packaged and sold at 5 x the price as shaders etc.
If you can get it...Marabu Acrylic paints...dam cheap..I pay the same for 50ml as a "brand" name 12ml bottle. Add a drop of floor cleaner/window cleaner, any brand will do (acts as a flow agent) and bingo...it´s AS good as the rest. I only use marabu or hobbyline.
I look forward to more posts from you.
Cheers
