David Tomasiewicz replied to David Tomasiewicz's discussion In need of advice. (Urgent)!"Thank you so much, Strider!
I'll definitely give it a try.
To anyone else wanting to add anything, I'll keep this discussion open."
Strider replied to David Tomasiewicz's discussion In need of advice. (Urgent)!"Here you go - this is an airbrushable latex paint base, which is really just a very thin latex (almost water thin). I've used this stuff before, but didn't realize it's sprayable, but as thin as it is, yeah, I don't see why not.…"
Strider replied to David Tomasiewicz's discussion In need of advice. (Urgent)!"You can use latex, but the paint will be a bit thick and gloppy - it will tend to fill in fine details like lines and textures on the surface.
I've never tried to airbrush any kind of latex paint, but I do know some places sell an…"
David Tomasiewicz posted a discussionIn need of advice. (Urgent)!
Hey everybody. I need some expert advice on painting a latex build-up puppet.1. Are there any cheaper/more accessible alternatives to pros-aide and PAX paint?2. Could latex be used in place of the materials mentioned above?and3. Any tips on airbrushing for a build-up puppet?(I've used my airbrush for scale models using enamel, but I've never done any paints that need to be flexible).See More
Strider replied to Grace Diggens's discussion Mould Making"True - it's always exciting opening the packages. "
Tony Perry replied to Grace Diggens's discussion Mould Making"Lol, okay sometimes you get the mix wrong and its an ugly sweater kind of Christmas, but its still Christmas :)"
Strider replied to Paul's discussion Paranorman Eyes"Oh, and most likely the blade doesn't scratch the paint because it's covered with a thick drop of epoxy glue, which gives depth and shine to it and gives it that characteristic 'bump' shape of the cornea. I guess you'd need…"
Strider replied to Grace Diggens's discussion Mould Making"Heh yeah, just like Christmas - sometimes you get the cool robot toy you wanted, sometimes you get ugly sweaters... "
Strider replied to Paul's discussion Paranorman Eyes"From the behind the scenes stuff I've seen it looks like the eyes are basically flat-backed discs no larger than the openings, and I'm guessing the pupils are stuck on with vaseline. This is pretty common, and in fact it's how eyes…"
Paul posted a discussionParanorman Eyes
Hi All,Anybody got any info about how Paranormans Eyes work and what theyre made of?Ive watched all the featurettes I can watch and while it shows the eyes in plenty of them Im still not sure of the full workings of them. It looks like the eyelids stay in there and are hinged maybe but I cant make out how the eyeballs stay in there? it also says that the eyeballs are moved around with an exacto knife, I would have thought this would scratch the paint on the eyeballs?If anyone knows anything about them Id love to know too!!!Thanks,PaulSee More
Gary Honer replied to Ibrahim Ali Albuainain's discussion A Problem Making 2 Hands"A good place to start would be to weigh the ball of clay for the hands to ensure you are using the same ammount of material for each. If you don't have a pocket scale to weigh small ammounts, start with a ball or extrusion of clay and cut…"
Ibrahim Ali Albuainain replied to Ibrahim Ali Albuainain's discussion A Problem Making 2 Hands"Ethan,
I think I will go for it then, I will make the other hand and try to match it with the first one!
Thanks"
