Hello my fellow Armoramians,
I have just done a beutifull thing. I've figured out that if you use laqer, stain brushes, you know those ones that are like sponges that you just throw out when your done. well I just tried drybrushing with one of them and it came out mint. everything was perfect . If your prety good at drybrushing, this brush will make you a star. And if your allready an expert then . . . . . . .well you get mt point. and becouse I just found out how to make drybrushing easier and look better, I just had to share it with my armorama family. so give it a trigidy try,and godspeed my armoramians, armoraptors, armorino's, armoridians,and to all my armorighteous people .
P.S. I am so addicted to armor ,It should be called "Armorphine". . . . .actualy no I still have my "Armorals" But I always want "Armore" more more. . . . . . . . .o.k. I'm done. . . . .sorry #:-) :-)

So if you always build fast attack vehicle as those used by the Navy Seals, does it make you a velociarmoraptor? :-) :-)

Sounds darn good!
Another drybrushing tip: handle a piece to be drybrushed with dirty hands! I mean oil paint stains. You will be amazed... #:-)


To tell the truth I didn´t do it on purpose, just made me feel stupid beacuse it looked so good.
