It is backed up by two of the GW Large drybrushes that Matthew mentions above. I'm sure there are art-store versions that can be purchased, I'm just not sure what they are.

I'm actually going to adepticon 2015 specifically for the classes!!! <br /><br />What are you using for the sword? I've been trying to figure out a way to do a giant sword and board style knight for the templars. Figure I'll do the shield by massively increasing the size of the one on the gun, and reduce it's scale significantly. (short barrel battle cannon!)<br />greggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528518337222880432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469017760558244027.post-83140230544139218972014-09-30T16:17:22.487-07:002014-09-30T16:17:22.487-07:00Very cool!

The more I read your posts (and Zab's over at Almost Perftec) the more I realize I really need to add in 2-3 more stages to each color in my process to take my stuff to the next level. <br /><br />Starting with the tin basecoat really gives it a warmer tone overall than I find I get going gunmetal over black. An excellent tip, thanks man!Mordian7thhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469017760558244027.post-90238151822274901552014-09-30T13:48:42.117-07:002014-09-30T13:48:42.117-07:00Try out their "large drybrush" I have ju...Try out their "large drybrush" I have just picked it up and it's great for large bases and models as it picks up enough paint without drying too quickly.<br />http://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Citadel-Large-DrybrushMatthew Beavishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14625156422882255312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469017760558244027.post-69016009100054424902014-09-30T10:51:08.987-07:002014-09-30T10:51:08.987-07:00Dave, what are you using for a 'tank brush'...Dave, what are you using for a 'tank brush' at the moment? I have been using Citadel's round blue-handed one (bought in something like 2006-2009) but it's worn out now, and I'm having difficulty finding an equivalent replacement (as I want a round one ideally, and Citadel no longer make this brush). If you have any recommendations, they would be appreciated!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
