Power Tool Dip

i still prefer normal dipping technique, and besides i think The Amry Painters "Quickshade" is much, much better :)

would it not just be easy inking them with a brush?
but this is much cooler i must admit ^.-

Hey thanks for the idea, I used a power drill just two minutes ago when I was dipping some Orcs. This is a great war to shake off access when you have to do it on an apartment deck.

I am using Minwax Polyshades 1 Step Satin - Mission Oak.

Also I bought a Minwax Polyshades 1 Step Satin - Classic Black but have not tried it out. It is darker than the Tudor but the Mission Oak is plenty dark for me.

It's actually just a large nail with a wide, flat head. I stuck the pointy in directly into the chuck of the drill. I affixed the head of the nail to the bottom of the figure's base using super glue and an accelerant. When I was done and they were dry, the nails just popped right off.

What exactly do you use for the stick that the base is attached to? Is it just a think wooden dowel like a skewer or something? I have a cheap drill and an empty printer paper box and I'd like to try this. I just need to know what the stick is made of.

if you have to use a drill maybe you need a morew diluited shader

It seems to be 'just enough' to work, and still not have that 'heavy dipped' look to 'em. Once they're based and have a layer of Dull Cote, they don't looked dipped at all, but still have shading and layering. I posted a couple of pics too.

Seems clever, but don't you whipe off too much with that sponge? Could you post a photo of the finished mini?
