Put an undercoat on them 2003 or 4 roughly. Spent last 15 years buried in a basement.

Basically complete newb. Very little idea what I'm doing. Vaguely aware of washes messing around with thst after buying 2.

My first experiments with using gunk for the acid. It's normally transparent, but I painted it fluorescent green

The Reaper KS set I'm painting is similar. 11 or so years of just sitting in a box (except for every few years when I'd run across them, take them all out and say to myself "Someday...")

What do you use for the acid? I used Uhu glue for a similar effect for blood and poison in the past.

I didn't know that product existed. Dirty Down makes a gore effect too. I'm tempted....but they seem a bit pricy at $15.00. Oh, well. I'll give it a shot.

Acryl Pro I've found to be the best so far for me.

Close up we all suck unless we're professionals.

Don't sweat it. If it looks good at 3 feet away, we're good. That's my rule anyway. Cuz that's how I play them.

You don't need both. Gore effect is just snot with red tint. You can always use snot and just paint it red.

No idea what snot is.

Couple updates. I just got some AK contrast paints. My favorite so far. Not only because I like how they flow compared to speedpaints, but each bottle has a checkmark to let you know if it's low, medium, or high contrast. I also primed the caps and painted them all so I have an easy reference to know what the paint actually looks like over white.

Speaking of speed paints, I have let myself get spoiled with them over the past couple years, so I went back to layering (only the sack is speed paint on this hill giant. the rest is layer and drybrush)
