I used clear Humbrol colour red and blue and into these seperately "mixed " - added water based ink came out very good . Thanks for the ideas . Great video . More please .

@jimeronimo Thanks for watching!

Wow very cool bud. I just watched Blacksun's video a few minutes ago too. My question is how durable is the finished product? Would you recommend only doing this to display models? Or does it hold up fairly well with transport and gaming as well? Just curious. Great video regardless!

[BlueWarGaming]

@VividAdventures2010 Thanks. The finished product is very durable. I don't play yet so my stuff isn't in and out of storage or moved around too much. But the end result is strong, probably due to the fishing string. It takes about 2 days to fully dry and is not tacky at all afterwards. With some care I would think it will hold up well to regular gaming abuse. I'm trying to make an update vid at the moment and if I can remember I'll abuse this one I made and we can all see how it holds up. ;-)

Very nice tut, gave me inspiration. In fact there are not a lot art stores in my area but Uhu you can get here everywhere maybe because it's one of the top brands here in germany ;-)

[BlueWarGaming]

@Arbornoctua Thanks bud.

Figures! I'm quite far from Germany at the moment but I'm still searching for it. It has to be somehwere...

Great vid. I may use this in a few things Thanks

[BlueWarGaming]

@rl10261 I hope you do and make sure to show us the results. Thanks

Thank you for your Tutorial. That little extra effort did help. I did not know how to make goo or slime. I was going to use hot glue and dried pva glue that I died with paint and dried on a piece of glass. I like how you put your own spin to it. Thank you for all your hard work. Keep it Kool and Real Peace!

[BlueWarGaming]

@DEMONJESTERJ No problem bud.

[terrainoob]

[BlueWarGaming]

@terrainoob Thanks dude.

[BlueWarGaming]

Cool, somehting I can use my old testors paints on :D Great turoral..have you tried any ice effects or clear melts?...Nice vid, buddy...Jim.

[BlueWarGaming]

@Jedijim252 Thanks dude. No I haven't tried any clear applications as of yet. I'll get bored one day and fiddle with the idea for you. I'll let you know how it goes!

[TheSeasonman1]

Thank you for the tutorial great work .Really nice believable effects . Hope you are able to get on to your water effects soon . fountain , pond , lake etc . All the best .

[BlueWarGaming]

@TheSeasonman1 Thanks bud.

[Generalsplatton]

Cool vid bud!

[BlueWarGaming]

@Generalsplatton Thank you sir! Aspiring to your level... ;-)

[asjarra]

Very nice tute bud. Thanks for sharing! I reckon both effects look really cool. To get that two colour separation in the slime maybe try using drops really watered down paint. Still a higher viscosity than ink maybe?

[BlueWarGaming]

@asjarra Thanks bud. That may work and I'll tr it out. The problem is mainly that the fishing line acts as a wisk of sorts and mixes everything together too much. The enemel/acrylic mix really kept them seperate. I think if I were to do one layer in green then follow it with another layer of very thinned yellow it will give a better seperation. Only practice will tell. ;-)
