Hmm. NMM? Nervously Manhandled Miniatures? Nicely Muddled Mediums? Never Mix Mud? No Military Medals? Non Manicured Members? Ohhh ... hang on - Non Metallic Metals! Yeah, I don't really get why someone would bother either.
@ Asslemen, I have literally hundreds of pictures I could show. If not 1000s. Is there anything in particular you would like to see done in a black lining style? In the meantime, there are many examples of my technique in the thread showing my kitbashes, scratchbuilds and conversions - see viewtopic.php?f=6&t=258
Asslessman":2u1t1rfx said:Stone, hearing from such a painter as yourself you still use blaklining kind of reassures me. Though it is right the technique in itself has evolved to not just a black paint line, the principle remains. How do you do yours? is it thinned black ink or paint as most or more subtle methods such as those descrived before? I have t say I'll have a closer look at your models now.
Asslessman":1s413t2l said:@ Blue and Padre : You people make me realise ther's a big trouble with my technique to begin with, I always apply base colours quite loosely because I can correct it when I move to the neighbour zone. I also tend to work a colour entirely base, shade, highlight...) befoe moving to another in whereas some painters first block every colour (sometimes leaving the black undercoat line) and then work these.
This would be a strong change of method and I guess it would be most necessary to get from a tabletop level to a more serious one.
