Great podcast!!!! Always enjoy listening to it!
Another great podcast! Loved listening to Annemarie give her comments and customs tips. I also agree about the new mold, as an artist, it’s much easier to work with.
I am super excited about Brave, and can’t wait to see the set if one comes out!
Thanks to everyone for listening. You guys make not sleeping on the weekends worth while!
Another custom artist chiming in for how awesome the new mold is.
You guys rule.
By the way, Blueprint Mickey is definitely Test Track in my opinion. That circle logo in his ear, nose, foot, etc. is all over the Test Track ride and all the dummies have it also.
Also, Anne Marie was talking about how different colors are oilier than others, but didn’t know why. Different pigments and colors require different amount of oil to balance the color out. Yellow, white and Browns will usually be thinner, while colors with a lot of pigment like Black or Red will be thicker.
I also want to add to what she said that higher quality paints usually don’t require you to thin them. Cheaper acrylic paints like stuff you get at Hobby Lobby have smaller shelf lives before they expire and get thick and clumpy. Higher quality stuff like Citadel will stay smooth for a lot longer.
Thanks for the explanation. And yes about the paint quality!
