I think they look pretty similar, I think I am going to do certain parts of a mini with speed paint and others with dry brush and speckle shading, thanks for this comparison.
@@GeeWhizz34 Yes it’s a homemade wet pallet. Plastic sandwich container, folded paper towel (4 layers thick, dampen the paper towel, then a sheet of parchment paper (kitchen paper-not the wax paper)
@@HobbyBottMinis Thanks! I use a small sheet of MDF as well, yours looks more textured than what I have though so I was thinking it may be something else. Definitely prefer the dry brushed mini! I use the same method on my SCE
What a great idea to use one of those poppet toys as a pallet. Lord knows there’s like a 100 around my house
Thanks 👍, I learned the fidget popper pallet from another painter.
I bought a box of mini jam jars from a hobby/craft shop. About 3 inches tall, i think a box of 12 cost me about £4 ($5)
Either one is well done.

Sounds great!
You can dry brush with speed paint. What looks best is not limiting yourself to one technique.
Drybrush looks better but speed paint is easier (for me at any rate).
Thanks 👍. I wasn’t crazy about the sheen from the AP Dark Tone and would probably trade out for Nuln Oil.
what is that handle base you have the miniatures on? looks much more handy than other handles
The handles are 1 1/8” dowel rod that i picked up at the hardware store. I cut it down to 3” lengths and have blue tack under the models base.
Cool
afaik you dont use AP speed paints of a wet palet, it makes the paint to thin.
Correct 👍, I use one of those fidget poppers for the speed paints and washes.
@HobbyBottMinis What did you use for the metallic at the beginning? Looks like a home made wet pallette.

What are you using for your drybrush palette?
The palette is a piece of MDF wood that I spray painted with satin black.
