The Bones are nice because it's just wash, dry, and then start painting. They do better with an undercoat though, especially for metallics (NMM looks like plastic to me, so No NMM for me).Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-14302574275768092762014-01-23T09:16:33.293-05:002014-01-23T09:16:33.293-05:00Acrylic fumes are just water, so no worries there....Acrylic fumes are just water, so no worries there.<br /><br />I use the general hobby paints available in most hobby stores and sections, rather than the expensive brands put out by the miniature makers.

"Safe once dry" and "safe to get inside my lungs in droplets" doesn't mean the same thing, I figure.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-41303713611379480992014-01-22T10:40:16.648-05:002014-01-22T10:40:16.648-05:00I don't know much about mini painting, why wou...I don't know much about mini painting, why would you need to be able to go outside to dip things or do a matte finish? Does it give off fumes so you need to leave it outside?<br /><br />Maybe the slight green variation is all right, like different skin tones. Just need to go back and mix up the colors a little more and then it's all gravy.qpophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04398235894159011414noreply@blogger.com
