Eh mine are not good enough to seal yet lol.
I was considering an airbrush though...
I'll wait till I have a few more under my belt.

Airbrush is really fun for me, it makes me actually enjoy priming. The priming job is much nicer too. It’s expensive though, mine was ~$300. So I wouldn’t really recommend it to beginners unless they are loving the hobby.

What AB did you get that cost 300 bucks? I have an Iwata eclipse gravity fed that I didn't pay that much for I dont think. Its been a few years since I bought it.

Iwata eclipse was ~$130 and tank was ~$180. I meant my all in price.

9-10 or 10:30 pm is my time to set aside for this! I also work for myself so I can steal some time here and there.

Airbrush... I just love the colored primer coats and honestly it looks fun. But really it would be overkill for me at this stage. Once I get say 10 done and I'm still going strong I'd do it. I'm gonna try to finish my 4th tonight or tomorrow.

Yeah I dont really use my AB for mini painting as of yet. I also build plastic models from time to time and use it for that.

Thanks sir. I put it on my Instagram (Posting minis there is my only social media) and it has half as many likes as the same mini just xenithal primed. I am not sure how to take that lol.

Good video. I like seeing how people actually paint to get those results.. I should probably look up some brush stroke techniques soon. For now I'll wait for my new brushes and wet palette that should be here soon. I'm starting to realize my brushes are really not great. Good enough for beginners though.

Considering I only started this around 10 days ago I have a nice starting collection going. 4 done and a 5th nearly complete. Just need to dry brush and touch up.

Nice progress man.

Check this video out to help you out with the eyes, it’s quick and simple and improved mine immediately. I just didn’t understand how they were done at all til I watched this. She shows you two different methods in under five minutes.

Eyes are the fuggin worst. I definitely struggle with this myself. I can never get them to be simultaniously circular/symmetrical/proportionate to the face.
