Green Stuff World – Holographic Paint… Has anyone tried this?

[Anonymous]

Looks really interesting, has anyone tried it yet?  Could see this being interesting on Harlequins, Tzeentch and other unworldly creatures.

Holographic Paint

An alcohol-based paint with microparticles which catch light reflections of various wave lengths, creating a bright rainbow effect with an impressive multi-coloured iridescent finish without affecting the background’s colour.

For use, choose any gloss colour for the basecoat. Shake well and apply 2-3 thin layers of the semi-transparent paint without diluting it, letting it gradually blend with the background. The microparticles on the surface will reflect the rainbow effect when exposed to any light source. Gloss varnish will increase the effect, whilst matt varnish will diminish it.

Valid only for airbrush.

Contains 17ml of Holographic Paint.

That looks like it could ruin your brush oO

I kind of doubt that it has enough of an effect on the small surfaces of a miniature.A vehicle with lots of armor plating … and especially one that has smooth curves like the Eldar ones have …

@sundancer : their website labels this one as airbrush only …

The Chameleon paint does appear to be brush-friendly :

I think that effect is a touch more interesting

A friend had used it with a brush and it works fine

Chameleon paint kinda works with a brush, but airbrushing is needed for best effect. It’s pretty neat.

Looks like glitter

I doesn’t read as though this paint actually gives the impression of a hologram, but it has me thinking if creating a hologram effect on a miniature might be possible, or even if holograms could be used on miniatures to some effect. What about a clear cellophane (or cellophane like) hologram for (Infinityesque) tranluscent screens or magical edges for blades or portal entrances?

I did some searching and came up with this: https://www.securityhologram.com/ . If these can be made small, detailed and preferably thin enough then i think that might be all that’s needed.

The £10 note has a tiny hologram on it.
