I got some new paints (Army Painter brand) and wanted to get some practice in to see how they handled before I used them on a more complicated project. Marvel Select Sabretooth is a favorite figure of mine, but his paint job is kind of cartoony so he got volunteered. I wanted leathery, realistic, and just generally the kind of look that used to give Jubilee night terrors. 'Course, now I want to make a little 90s Jubilee for him to, er, play with!  Please wait... |

My go-to for paints is Golden Fluid acrylics. Some shades are a little too transparent to use as an opaque coat instead of a tint, but I really like how they bond to plastic and stay flexible after they dry. They dry very shiny though. For brush on matte sealant, Delta Ceramacoat is good and really waterproof. For aerosol, Mr. Super Clear is the only one I've used that doesn't have a chemical reaction with soft plastics and do that sticky thing over time.
Well don't leave us hanging, what do you think of those paints? How do they compare to other stuff you've used? What techniques are easier/harder to do with them?
