Stoobert Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 What I really like is how it soaked into the ridges on his chest armor. That's white primer with a 'dip' of Army Painter Strong Tone. This is the oil-based stuff in a can, not the dropper bottles of water-based 'ink'. Not a fan of what it does to flat surfaces of white, but will repaint that. People say this product is basically the same as Minwax. It's not, it's thinner. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. Bigglesworth Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I love the stuff have all three shades. I have even just promed dipped and highlighted to some great effects. My only complaint is I won't do it for 40k because I can't dip a tank :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoobert Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I thought they sold larger cans of it? Maybe not anymore. You'd have to dip a tank really fast, before it soaked into the interior and never dried out inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I should have done more fooling around before I used it on anything I really cared about, but once I got the hang of it, I really like the stuff. My only issue is that the weather limits the times of year I can work out on my balcony, because I'm not using anything with that kind of fumes inside my apartment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoobert Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Yep. Sure is stinky. Gloves required. So are eyegoggles if you are 'shaking'. I'm lucky to have a garage. Even so, the models themselves have an odor for DAYS after dipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I painted the dip on 11 Russes for my Nurgle I.G. Love it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I use a drill and a glass jar. I will attached the models to the drill, then dip them in the can, let as much drip off as I can, and then put it in the glass jar and spin at high speeds. Works fairly well. I'll then put it on a piece of cardboard to dry overnight. Next day, hit it with the mat spray and done. I do this in my office all the time. Never noticed a strong smell.

dalmer Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Hello there, Agree with other posters. I dip 'nids in it and find that it shades and adds depth quite nicely... then I just paint carapaces. Stay safe, don 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoobert Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Here's the result. The 'matte coat' works pretty well, then metallics. Eldrad just finished lunch (he prefers a Thai combo #8) and is ready to summon a witchfire power to devour you. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarlessllama Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I tried the dip method on my Protectorate of Menoth army. I wasn't too happy with the results. But these look great! Keep up the great work! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
