1. Flak Magnet: If I haven't duly attributed the source on my
stargrunt.ca page, please let me know. I like to give credit where
credit is due.
2. Thanks for the info on white metal melting temps
3. I'll post the easy-bake method sometime soon on stargrunt.ca. I do
have a few questions:
any impact on paint lifespan?
any impact on paint colour?
any info on how different paint types behave - oil based, water based,
enamels, any inks or clearcoats?
4. I'd love to help out Mike by making a 'how to drybrush video' or
picture series. If anyone wishes to do up some pics of a stage by
stage, I can put them into a nice article with attribution on
stargrunt.ca. I'm just overloaded at work (working through the
weekend) or I'd break out a mini and try to illustrate the technique.
5. Keep the painting and modeling tips coming.
6. GW does a book on making wargames terrain - it covers some painting
topics and is a great way to make either fancy terrain or simpler,
cheaper stuff. The 'green kitchen sponge' hedgerows are awesome and
cheap, for one example. They even look good with a bit of (dare I say
it) drybrushing with a lighter green to finish them off. Buy the book
- you won't be disappointed -> GWers build nice looking scenics and
the advice is very generic.

Excellent technique video for drybrushing\
