Montana Gold spraypaint

Does anyone know anything about this brand of spraypaint, or their plastic primer (from the tech series)? I'm looking for a white spraypaint to use for zenithal priming, and the local options are limited.

Re: I still want to improve my painting.

I completely agree with arctica. The cloth is great, especially the nmm gold embroidery. The armor could use some improvement. One suggestion I would make is with the edge highlighting - try to make some sharper highlights along edges. Right now your edge highlights are rather broad in places, which ...

Re: Flameon's workshop

Wow, so it's been over a year since I last posted in this thread. The project is finally back on track, and I've mostly finished painting the leader.

Re: Crystal Brush 2012

well, they allowed team works so it's all fine.
That's not quite true. In fact, the rules state,
No team entries allowed, and sculptors of original sculpts and conversions of manufactured models who did not paint the models entered will not be listed as entrants (i.e. no co-credit). For the ...

Re: Crystal Brush 2012

Alice is Automaton's mini. It's realy great.
I had a feeling it was, given that it was scratch, and the sculpt was very reminiscent of his steampunk Dorothy. Plus it just seemed like his style, the base especially.

Re: Crystal Brush 2012
