RE: Miniature Painting: A Guide for Beginners
very nice! i like the tutorial. i am a mold maker/caster by trade, well one of them anyway. i've been on hiatus for a bit, looking for my dream job.
you might like to try a curved blade, for cleaning the mold line, flash and extras. i have other tool tips, but i don't like to bore. well done, thank you.
I usually use the needle files for cleanup in detailed parts. Stonehaven's caster does a good job in locating vents for easy cleanup though.
sometimes i forget about the fun of cleaning a new model. i guess cleaning master castings like an assembly line makes it a bit mechanical after a while. thanks for reminding me of the newness. i've cast over a million parts since then. i'll have to take a look at Stonehaven. cheers.
Another note: I saw no part lines requiring cleanup. The caster did a superb job on these models. Of course, I got some early production examples as a Kickstarter backer, but the recent purchase I made for another Elf Librarian during the Christmas sale still looks clean. Stonehaven is absolutely awesome.
i guess i'm just a bit obsessive from eyeballing masters under a jewelers loupe. here's one of the models i've worked on. this is not actually mine, but it is highly likely that i cast some of the parts or made the molds to cast them.
Nice! Airbrush user, right?
Wicked detailing!!
some, yes.
I bought an airbrush. I need to give it a try.
