	It's not like spraypaint is dangerous (so long as you're pointing it AWAY from yourself, and not using it near an open flame). If nothing else, you could possibly ask her to do it for you, I suppose. -----signature----- Lieutenant Colonel 9-LOM "Syntax" Corsair Squadron Commanding Officer CRS Vigilant - http://www.bhorizon.com/renegade/1024.html "That's me, the life of the party" -- 9-LOM, 'One for the Money' "Flying is for droids" -- Obi-Wan Kenobi, 'Revenge of the Sith

	Painting boltguns?/knives? There's a technique called drybrushing that you can try.However, I cannot remember whether it is a method that eventually ruins the brush, so I'd suggest using an old brush or something, the GW brushes aren't (well, weren'tI don't know how they are now) that good, so sacrifice one of those if you got the paint set. Now, lets see if I got it right... Undercoat=black, then apply only a little Boltgun Metal to the brush, and well... paint! (do it lightly and quickly). It's imperative that not too much paint is on the brush, otherwise dark/worn metal look (dark in crevices and bright "highlights" on raised surfaces) will just be full metal coloured. More pressure = more silver on the black. You can use washes to, I suppose (Armour wash? does that still exist? I mean, the store I went to where I live had all these old obscure citadel paints, some of which I was sure did not exist by the time I stopped playing). (I did it again long windedness) well try it out, experiment if you managed to finish reading this w/o falling asleep :P And to anyone else, is what I have described correct? I really cannot remember. -----signature----- Sorry about my long-winded posts...

	Well, a bunch of random minis and stuff came in the mail yesterday. I got a Necron Monolith (which I'm going to modify), a Battle for Macragge boxed set that I split with a friend (he plays Tyranids, so he got all the Tyranid models, and I wanted the Space Marines so I could make a custom squad), and a few inks I need to finish up my Ciaphas Cain miniature. -----signature----- Lieutenant Colonel 9-LOM "Syntax" Corsair Squadron Commanding Officer CRS Vigilant - http://www.bhorizon.com/renegade/1024.html "That's me, the life of the party" -- 9-LOM, 'One for the Money' "Flying is for droids" -- Obi-Wan Kenobi, 'Revenge of the Sith

	Now, al i need to is get a sliver..... You see, i bought 6 individual paint cannisters. They each had a colour on top, witch i what i went by. Stupid me, i didnt read what was on the top of the label of each of them. ( normaly it was just a normal number) Due to my bad luck, the green and silver i had chosen were acrtualy matt and gloss........ What do those do? -----signature----- Adopted by starwarsbeauty Mandalore and Semi Ex-Sentinel of the Acolytes of Revan I'm not suffering from insanity, I'M ENJOYING IT!!!

	Matt and gloss... well, when the mini is assembled, primed, painted, based (and or flocked) one can apply a matt or gloss finish to well... finish! :P. It protects the paint on the mini, with extensive use (rough and tumble scrapes and scratches from gaming etc.) the paint will start to come off, those finishes help prevent that (though it's is easier to use the spray on type for multiple mini's). Syntax- Lights huh, cool! I hope all goes well with it. -----signature----- Sorry about my long-winded posts...

	Glossy finishes appear shiny.

	Which one gives a better look to the models? Shiny, or not shiny? -----signature----- Adopted by starwarsbeauty Mandalore and Semi Ex-Sentinel of the Acolytes of Revan I'm not suffering from insanity, I'M ENJOYING IT!!! Xbox Live Gamertag: OldManBindo

	Depends on what you're trying to do, really. I always go non-shiny, because all the stuff I paint is meant to be pretty much a flat color (Crimson Skies airplanes, etc), and the stuff that IS supposed to be shiny (guns, cockpit frames) is done in a reflective metallic paint anyway. Likewise, with my Necrons, they're all done in this reflective chrome, so the paint itself is shiny. However, the rust I painted over the chrome is not shiny (because rust isn't shiny ). If I'd done a glossy finish over it, it would defeat the purpose of the rust. Edit-- oh yeah, for the curious, here's my Necrons. -----signature----- Lieutenant Colonel 9-LOM "Syntax" Corsair Squadron Commanding Officer CRS Vigilant - http://www.bhorizon.com/renegade/1024.html "That's me, the life of the party" -- 9-LOM, 'One for the Money' "Flying is for droids" -- Obi-Wan Kenobi, 'Revenge of the Sith

	Well, compared to me,its good enough. I would say it isnt your best work, atleast compared to the Necrons however. On a similar note, is the game crimson skies any good? -----signature----- Adopted by starwarsbeauty Mandalore and Semi Ex-Sentinel of the Acolytes of Revan I'm not suffering from insanity, I'M ENJOYING IT!!!

	The tabletop game? Never played it. I just like the planes (and the Crimson Skies universe itself). The PC and Xbox games, on the other hand, are absolute MUST PLAY games. -----signature----- Lieutenant Colonel 9-LOM "Syntax" Corsair Squadron Commanding Officer CRS Vigilant - http://www.bhorizon.com/renegade/1024.html "That's me, the life of the party" -- 9-LOM, 'One for the Money' "Flying is for droids" -- Obi-Wan Kenobi, 'Revenge of the Sith
