Re: The pinholes that wouldn't die!

I use the one tube Bondo without the hardener. It smooths really well. Once on then prime with sandable primer. once dry sand with 800 wet or dry. This might take a couple of tries.

Re: Bela's black evening dress - how to make it interesting?

I would think about adding other colors to the black to provide interest, such as blue or violet. Just a little, so that it does not come out as just black. Also, really build up the shadows and highlights. Another idea would be to to paint the light thrown on to it from a light source. Have them bo...

Black Heart N"Hotep

This is a fantastic wall hanger from Black Heart models. There is so much you can do with it. I had such a blast in the class at WonderFest starting on it. It took me about 3 weeks to complete.

Re: Airbrush still blow paint instead of just air

Two things. One, make sure your needle is seated properly all the way forward (this is the most common cause of this problem). Also, check the needle to make sure it is not damaged. If that is not it, take the brush completely apart and clean. This is the equivalent of turning your computer off and ...

Re: Aiming an airbrush with accuracy

I do not consider my self an expert by any means. Here are my thoughts: It depends on the size of the nozzle and how much air and paint you are pushing through. To get it where you want it, turn down air a little. If you blast too much paint and air through, it can go all over the place. Also, to he...

Re: Pyramid Head from Silent Hill

I started with a grey primer. Then medium flesh and then started working in transparent grays and greens. I then went back over it with oils for shadows and highlights.

Pyramid Head from Silent Hill

I have no idea who produced this. It was a pre-painted statue I picked up years ago. I stripped it, cleaned up the seams and repainted it. I painted it using acrylics and oils.
