... Well, that'll have to do. ... I was actually referring to the light sourcing on the paint job itself, not the photo setup. I was having trouble determining...
Well, I looked at the trolls posted so far and they are looking really nice. I wish I could've taken part in this contest, but there's only so much time in a...

Hi all, I have just posted some images of my two Japanese Ronins in the "vince wai" folder of the Album section of this forum. If you want to see larger...
... Hi Vince! Wow, these Ronins are beautiful. The tatoos are just awesome. What scale are these in? 54mm or 90mm, or what? You're truly a gifted painter. Keep...
Hi Dirk and Craig, Thanks! The two ronins are 120mm which the conversion piece is a one-off commission for a collector. It's the idea of the tattoo painting...
I want to start to buy Vallejo paints. What colors should I start off with? Also, which flesh tones should I get? I currently have GW paints, but am going...
Jarrod, I have being using Vallejo paint for some time now. For the flesh tone, colour seems a bit too light ( may be it's personal preference ) and I usually...
Vince, Lovely, lovely, lovely!! Your work is so inspiring...I am going to have to find the time to try a "larger than 28mm" figure very soon!! And I can't...

Sweeeeet! Love the tattoos, the scar on the first guy's face, the pattern on the second guy's pants, the detail on the hair, the eye-patch, and, well, I could...
The best thing you can do is to experiment. Even watercolor paper that has a layer of your favorite primer will let you get a sense for the way a particular...
I can't offer much help on the paint questions you have there, but I can say that a good Kolinsky sable brush outperforms the golden taklon at least a thousand...

I'm going to start buying the Vallejo brand paints. What ones do you recommend that I should get for painting flesh and faces? What other colors does...
I was fighting some stomach flu and didn't really feel up to doing a lot of thinking the last few days. I'd have to say, looking back at Mick's query from...
