I have a question about shaders: I use a Detail Master and a 7-b shader. But I was wondering if anyone knows of a larger shader. I find myself taking on projects with a lot of ground to cover and it takes forever. This horse head, for instance: Thanks! |

Hi Pol, first of all excellent burning on the horse, I like the composition also. I have a Razortip and use only one shader/blender which is a large. I doubt it is any larger than what you are using. Have you checked with Detail Master what sizing on their shaders? Kathy

I can't help you with shaders, but I do admire your piece. Very well done. Congratulations. Bob

Thanks Kathy. I have tried Detail Master, but I didn't see anything much larger either, I was just wondering if I was missing something. But if what I'm using is pretty much the norm, I'll deal with it. Maybe it'll teach me a bit more patience. And thanks for the props, Bob. Pol |

Hi, Pol. Beautiful job on the horse! I'll admit to being envious of your talent. Just checked my Hummul catalog and see a Detail Master tip 7-C which looks much wider than the 7-B you've been using. You might call and ask sppecific dimensions. Beth |

Hi Bob, very nice job on the horse. Typicall I use a bent spear shader for all my shading but when I do a piece like you did I use my single temperature Wall Lenk with the shader. It tends to do cover a larger area faster than the detail burners. So whenever I'm doing a piece that requires a lot of heavy-duty dark shading over a large area I pull out my Wall Lenk. Nedra

Thanks, Nedra. I used my single temperature for the ground on the cougar, but now that that I've gotten used to my Detaill Master and adjusting the temp. I can only use it when I need a really dark shade.
