Tommy, your skin tones are amazing, I think the best I've ever seen. Do you use oil or acrylic or a mixture of both?

I'm really dreading the mess I'm going to make of my sniper figure now

[Tommy]

Thanks guys,

Andy,

Usually I use a mix of both but only on skin tones, on uniforms and equipment I use acrylics.

But on this figure I used Vallejo acrylics on both skin tones and uniform.

And I'm sure that your sniper figure will be great looking in the end, I'm looking forward to follow your progress.

Do you use a retarder for blending? Sorry for all the questions

Ask away, I'm happy to answer all the question you might have Andy (if I can answer them that is ).

I use water for retarder when painting figures due to the fact that I like to use Vallejo acrylics (I never use my airbrush on figures).

But working with acrylics when blending colors can be tricky sometimes because they are fast drying, it is much easier with slow drying paint.

When I'm using fast drying paint I don't try to blend when wet. I mix my paint carefully each time instead. It is a slow process but that is the way I like to paint.

My suggestion is to use the paint that your are the most comfortable with.

[Ian M]

Not that I have tried it for figure painting but Vallejo's retarder does make their Acrylics more workable. Not as much as Oil paints, but close enough to enable you to blend colours in situ.

Yes, I use Vallejo retarder for weathering, it's good stuff
