I undercoat with a brush before painting, and then matte coat when it's done. As the models aren't meant for gaming (because they attached to a large plinth), they don't really get any wear and tear. If something is likely to get handled, I will tend to use hydrostone as it's far tougher.<br /><br />mikeStudioMcVeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08093343671784941875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578442879065078922.post-86040542768320558972009-06-09T00:46:50.728-07:002009-06-09T00:46:50.728-07:00Hi Carl!

(I'll understand if you can't say though).<br /><br />CarlCarl Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08839386900606623269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578442879065078922.post-1686793110063385972009-06-01T23:50:18.634-07:002009-06-01T23:50:18.634-07:00Hey Mike,

However, I don't think he makes that many of them. Jeff Wilhelm sells some excellent pedestals - there is a selection over on his site, I believe he will custom make them too - http://www.dragonforge.com/StudioMcVeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08093343671784941875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578442879065078922.post-3284639571430001432009-05-26T15:45:16.185-07:002009-05-26T15:45:16.185-07:00Hi Mike,

Keep up the good work, you're one of the reasons i started painting in the first place!<br /><br />Quick question, where do you get the black pedestals from? Ive searched everywhere trying to find them, but i've been having no luckPaul Chanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17944454332027086677noreply@blogger.com
