You were asked – TMP link How much zenithal priming are you doing these days? 38% said "never heard of it"
36% said "never"
13% said "sometimes" |

Why am I not surprised. Zenithal, pre-shading or whatever you call it can really up your game. Though, if you're still using Apple Barrel craft paints "upping your game" is not a consideration. |

On a 28mm figure, does it really matter? |

On a 28mm figure, does it really matter? All the "slap chop" videos I've seen use large 28mm figures as examples, so… yes. I think it matters most with high-contrast sculpts (lots of folds, raised details, deep cuts, strong bends, etc.), and would just be a lot of extra work for little gain on smooth or low-contrast sculpts. |

Mr Elmo +1 Sorry about the condescension levels John |

Using it on 28mm and it comes out ok. I'm slow anyway, but it does speed up output a bit, and it gives a good finish. Just trying it on 40mm now, so it will be interesting. |
