So I painted a Nerf Gun... :rolleyes:

[Alister McFap II Esq.]

Don't waste the money on GW primer. .98 cent Colorplace spraypaint from Wal-Mart does just as well - been using it for years on my 40k models.

Shut the fuck up.
Honestly.

[Manoil]

Maybe a test run is in order.

While I'm sure Ret's longlasting fandom of WH40k says that he's been doing it for a while, I wouldn't be certain that the results of small-scale figures would translate the same on a large item.

This is the end goal:


Can't say for certain whether or not I'll get around to any of this anytime soon, but I will definitely return for this info if I do

[Alister McFap II Esq.]

Do the test. Buy 2 identical objects (some cheap toy or something with reasonably good details - i.e. a face).

Spray paint one with 98 cent paint.
Spray the other with Citadel (or in fact any other spray paint made specially for models/detail painting).

I predict the following:

You'll toss away the cheap stuff, laugh at how ugly Retlaw's army must look and feel a bit angry about how abusive GW is for charging people so much for their freaking awesome spray paint.

[Retlaw83]

Wow, never thought someone like Alistair would be a mindless GW fanboy.

My armies look fine, and no one I know uses Citadel Primer because it's shit compared to how much it costs. I've turned a couple of my friends on to ColorPlace - one of whom routinely wins painting competitions. My other friends use different primer than GW's.

Because it's low cost doesn't mean low quality. In the case of GW primer, it's high cost and medium quality.

Looks nice.

I'm not a GW fanboy. I use other paints as well. But GW/Citadel paints are readily available everywhere and they sure as hell beat the fuck out of a $1 spray paint.
Also, I misread, you meant primer. I mean just spray on paint.
I have no experience with GW primer. I just use a double layer of paint if I have to... and since it's so nice and thin I can easily do this without killing details.

Also, thanks SkyNet.

ALSO, I'm almost done with my other project... all I need now is a digital camera.

[SenisterDenister]

I never used actual primer for my Ork army, I just used Chaos Black and then added layers onto it. A friend of mine had the spray-on primer and I think straight-up black paint works better.

[Alister McFap II Esq.]

Yeah. The black sort of does the job of the primer there.

Also, this:




I'll post better pictures once I get a digital camera.
This picture is shit because it was taken with my phone.
It's more of a preview really...

Also painting the ammo box for it in matching colors.
And I'll get more ammo belts and paint them brass colored.

[Megatron]

if your paints running youre holding the can too close meaybe

my friend used to paint his warhammers in enamel radiator paint so they were glossy red humanoid blobs. i wish i had some pictures they were pretty funny if you think warhammer is funny.

[St. Toxic]

It's all technique. You can paint masterpieces with horseshit if you just have the balls for it.

[Gimp Mask]

you could paint your balls with horseshit like a true internet jedi

what are the BULLETs made of

[Stalagmite]

Yeah. The black sort of does the job of the primer there.

Looks pretty badass, be sure to test it out on those damned wallabys, one of those fuckers bit me the other day, all I did was try to feed the bastard.

Australian life can be tough, especially if you run into those drop bears eh

[Alister McFap II Esq.]

those drop bears eh

Almost as bad as Yowies.

[Blargh]

ALERT ALERT IT IS NO LONGER 1977

[Stalagmite]

Well I wouldn't mind too much if it was, considering the fact that I would be one of the few who gets to see Star Wars for the first time, and I got this 1974 edition of 'Lord of the Rings' right here as well, which, minus the wear, is probably the best print ever made.

What the fuck more could you want? Well besides a few computer games that eat up all of your time?

[St. Toxic]

What the fuck more could you want?

The 60's man.

[Stalagmite]

Not quite sure I'd fit in you know I'd be one of those sods begging for the 50's back whilst playing The Rain, The Park, And Other Things on the radio know wha ah mean.

[Alister McFap II Esq.]

50s > 60s

[Taco-Hero]

The 60's were more interesting. What does this have to do with Nerf guns exactly?

[Stalagmite]

50s > 60s

I agree.
On the outside.

Introvertedly, the 60's were amazing.

On that note, how many hippies you shoot? Just find the nearest music festival.
