In this Gorilla
Tutorial I'll take you through a quick and easy way to paint up a Citadel
Wood using the Agrellan Earth technical paint to add some
extra texture. I'll also show you how to add a desert theme to the base.

Welcome to another Gorilla
Tutorial, our quick tips & techniques series.
This time I've got some quick tips for working with Plastic-Resin
miniatures, also known as restic miniatures.
Mantic
Games use plastic resin for a number of their miniatures, so if you're a
Dreadball, Deadzone or Kings
of War player then this tutorial will be very useful.
Preparing & Gluing Plastic Resin Miniatures
To remove mould lines from plastic-resin miniatures its best to carefully use
the tip of a sharp modelling knife, as opposed to sanding or filing. Unlike hard
plastic models, you will also need to us a CA glue, aka
super-glue, as plastic cement will not work due to the different material.

Welcome to this Gorilla Tutorial, where I'm going to discuss how to use
enamel weathering products to make pin washes.
This week I'm hard on my 1:72 scale WW1 Mk.A Whippet, and I'm trying out a
new technique using products from AK
Interactive called pin washing. This is when you apply a thin wash to the
recessed areas of a model, such as panel lines, and around raised details like
rivets to create shading and depth while also defining the detail.
Once the model had been primed and basecoated with acrylic paints we can get
started on the pin-wash. Choose a streaking grime which suits the base
colour of your model, for instance if your model is a light colour like white or
cream use interior streaking grime, if its a darker shade or green like
mine use dark streaking grime.
Thin down the streaking grime with some enamel solvent like odourless
turpentine, its available from hardware or art supply stores. Then using a fine
detail brush apply it to the recessed areas and on rivets. The pin-wash will
flow naturally along panel lines and joins with little effort.
