So I soaked this in simple green all night and went at it with a toothbrush. It did literally nothing to the primer. The spots that are removed are from a prior soak in 91% IPA and going at it with a combination of toothbrush, q-tip, and toothpick. Does simple green not work on Primer or something? I thought this was the standard for stripping models bare. It's primed with AP black in case that makes any difference.
Started on my red witches. First the tomboy. Need to work on the hair. Hate to see the seems on the pictures, seems as the epoxy filler wasn't enough...
>>96884710Nice skin tone anon, but why didn't you filled the gaps? Cannot goon on this one.
>>96884677think about it simple green is just a cleaner. if you were trying to clean your kitchen or whatever would you want a cleaner that would strip the paint off of things? the only reason it works at all is because people use child art project tier paints and most don't even bother to do proper surface prep.you're going to have to decide whether removing the primer is worth the risk of damaging the plastic with stronger solvents. if you're trying to get rid of it because it went on grainy you can try carefully sanding it smooth.
>>96884710if that isn't an android and you plan to paint it that good you should fill those gaps
>>96884007
>>96883712N-Nani!?
>>96884710The paintjob so far looks great, bug goddamn those gaps fuck it up. Unfortunately, you should bite the bullet and restart to fill in the gaps.
>>96884759At this point I'm probably gonna just go at it with a sanding stick to the best of my ability and then reprime it with my better primer. I may try IPA one more time and then try to go at it with the qtip again. I wish I had a tool that I could really go at it with a lot of force. Like a piece of firm sponge on a stick or something. That would make it easier.

>>96884749>>96884777>>96885067Alright council of the old ones, how should I go about it?Detach the body from the cloak and then cover the part with plastic putty and then repaint with previous mix? This would be maybe possible without stripping the whole paintjob.

Tried to do sponge chop. It was an absolute disaster, I think I made the sponge or the paint too wet and it just looked awful.I'm out of spray primer too and have chucked out all my old crappy Army Painter Warpaints whilst waiting on Speed Paints 2.0 so I mixed together some white with some brush on primer to make a super light grey and just slopped it over everything. It looks like I haven't lost too much detail so hopefully I can rescue these miniatures without having to buy stripper and more primer spray
I have to vent - I hate, HATE having to paint eyes. All those tinyass eye sockets that require me to pick up this magnifying glass on stand for electronics (because normal glasses are not enoug), having to find and maintain proper focus plane (with only slight variation meaning it's all blurred), using 1s or 0s because 2 is too big and being both ultra-precise and fast because 0s gets dry tip within seconds. Pure hate.
>>96885559To be honest, these guys looks like drowned in too much paint, with sponge you were supposed to leave only little paint at the time.
>>96885565Oh these are after I just re-primed them and they're still wet.Originally I painted them with the Warpaints but they were all chalky and looked terrible. I thought maybe I could just sponge on some white highlights and decorate them with speedpaints but I made a mess of them.I've just slathered them in the moisture of white and brush on primer so I can repaint with speedpaints. I think it's down to the initial srat primer that I didn't warm the can up. I'll save these models one way or another. I'm just trying to avoid stripping and re-priming them if I can as I've just dropped a chunk of cash of the Speed Paint set
>>96885563Keep practicing anon, you'll get the hang of it eventually. If I can share a tip - thin your paint more than you usually do, even more so than for edge highlights. It needs to be VERY runny. That way it shouldn't dry on the tip and apply with just the slightest touch.
>>96885588I tried that, result is paint running all over, behaving like wash would. Fuck me.
Okay, this face ended up so hilarious I couldn't help but take a photo before moving to fix it. Behold, special care samurai.
>>96885563Eyes are definitely tough. I use an optivisor and pic related are some of my faces. I usually use a size 1 to do the pupils. The key is a SHARP brush tip, which my issue is keeping a sharp tip on my brushes. I baby them as much as possible and still the bristles still dull/wear down. The tutorial at the bottom is what made painting eyes click for me. I've actually started enjoying painting faces instead of helms because it lets me personalize each model.
>>96885354>describe the thing you're doing and blame it on your opponent.
>>96885653Each of 0s and 1s I tried have actually "too sharp" tip - instead of releasing paint when touching, it only release when I move it a bit more forward, which cause them to bend and release too much paint and on the side instead. No idea how to get around this.
>>96885653How early in the process are you painting the eyes in? Are you doing heads as a sub assembly or just fixed to the model?
>>96885660>why are people mad at me when I start blathering about idpol cancer in nonpolitical threadLiterally double-digit IQ.
>>96885676Damn, that's actually nuts. If too much paint is flowing out maybe consider using a thicker consistency when doing that fine of work specifically?>>96885677Heads are usually just fixed on the model. What I've started doing is laying down the first half of the face's layers, doing the eyes, then finishing the highlighting on the face. My current face process is basecoat->highlight->shade->highlight. Including eyes it would be: basecoat->highlight->brown for eye socket->shade->white of eyes->pupil->highlight skin.
>>96885693>Projection : The Continuing
>>96885714trying too hard, just fuck off
>>96885676I see you've twisted your brush into a fine tip, a mistake I made myself for many years, this worsens curling but it also alters the way paint flows out of the tip.You want to get a fine tip on your brush without twisting the brush hairs.
>>96885707Tried that too, thicker paint does not release at all because tip dries too fast.
>>96885725see my last two comments.
>>96885729>You want to get a fine tip on your brush without twisting the brush hairs.How?
>>96885714Shut the fuck up already, you subhuman faggot. Go back to your retard containment thread if you want to sperg about some /pol/shit garbage.
>>96885738don't turn the brush while you're sharpening the tip on your palette, brush soap or paper towel, only turn the brush while it is not in contact with anything, keep your strokes straight, you have to be gentle too.
>>96884328You print the cobblestones and headstones or purchase them somewhere?Sick tomb. I feel inspired to actually work on my nighthaunt.
>>96885642Well then it's either TOO runny or you have too much on your brush.You'll get a feel for it at some point, keep at it.>>96885749do not reply anon, you're just enabling him
>>96885650His focus on his target is unbroken. His target is his noseI also find it hilarious that the bow string is as think as the actual bow.
>>96885873Yeah, that too. Overall odd model.
Here's some stuff finished up/in progress!Slowly the pile of villagers is getting smaller, and I just have some touch ups on the chimps for the monkey pile.I think you guys will like the monkey pile, I found a decent red-brown glaze mix for the flesh, and the orangutans are decent as well
>>96885754The cobblestones, the partial unearthed Graves and the random stones are xps foam. The grave stones and tomb are 3d printed that I got as a gift from my sister.
>>96886013Is that a contortionist orangutang on the left, or a baby faced giant tarantula?
>>96885797>do not reply anonIt's cute that you think saying this is any different
>>96886198Baby faced tarantula that's horrifying
Newfag to painting. Which of these is more useful wide range wise as a base for a paint set?
>>96886327Neither, buy the specific paints you'll use instead.
>>96886327Where are you based? I'm in the UK and I've just bought the Most Wanted set which is on the right. It contains 24 paints inc the medium, I got it for £70 which is a little less expensive than RRP. The Mega Set contains double the paints and is double the price here. There is also a Wargamers Mega Set which contains 60 paints but is a bit rare. Then you go to up to the full set which is over £300.For me the Most Wanted is a good set but you might want to pick up some more greens and browns. The greens included are quite vibrant and the wood brown is a dark brown and the only true brown in the set. The Desolate Brown is more like a khaki. Definitely pick up Hardened Leather if you get the Most Wanted set. You can tone down the greens by mixing Desolate Brown into them.The set on the left of your image appears to be Speed Paint 1.0, I would avoid that as the formula is known to have reactivation issues where it bleeds when painted over
>>96886327I bought the right just getting started and I've used almost every single paint in the set for something. I'd recommend it for a beginner. >>96886419How incredibly unhelpful.
>>96886419If he's painting up something like Hero Quest or another board game then he might have good use for all the different paints.You can also buy the paint bundles for specific armies now too, whether they're Warhammer or historic armies.
>>96885563why not use a slower drying paint? or mix the one that's drying too fast with retarder? I would definitely second the recommendation for jeweler's spectacles.
Still kinda stuck on this one, how's this for an idea?

>>96886644Fuck me.What do you think? About these two I mean.
>>96886653Seems decent enough. Though I can't unsee the wrist-thick bowstring...
>>96886611You could do the chaos alphabet instead.
Only really the gems left on the farseer now unless I find something I forgot, and c41-N the friendly neighbourhood patrol thallax has gotten his greyscale metallics done.
>>96886653I have to agree with the overly thick bowstrings but aside from that they look very nice>>96886611I'll second the anon saying this doesn't need anything else. The skulls look fantastic already and I feel the text would make it too busy.>>96886013Those are really cute!>>96885161Really looking foward to seeing this guy finished, the "muscles" look great.>>96885206That's a very nice skin tone but yeah, you should try to take care of those gaps. I never tried that myself but anons say you can paint layers of gloss varnish into the gap.>>96885263Looks cool but that line on the cloth covering the face kinda sticks out. Dunno if that's supoposed to be like a seam or is it just a gap.
When are you applying the acrylic varnishes before applying decals, how long do you wait for it to dry?
>>96886783At least an hour but I often aim to apply them as last thing to do at the evening and leave them to dry overnight.
>>96886733Not a bad idea.

Greetings, recently got into HeroQuest and I am trying to fill out all of the rosters for the expansions like the 4 enchanted armors in Kellars Keep. However, where would you guys suggest getting some good and fitting custom minis?? I already bought a bunch from Minis3D in Italy and they came out great - however I miss a bigger lineup of stuff, the only criteria is that they keep the size dimensions as close to the remade heroquest miniatures as possible.
>>96886780>Dunno if that's supposed to be like a seam or is it just a gap.Looks very much like a 3d printer hiccup.
>>96886611Puff puff pass
>>96885206cover it as is with milliput, smooth it wet with a brush and then paint on top, no need to strip anything, i don't think you need to detach her cloak, seems accessible enough from that photoyou seem to have the skills to make a good enough blend so it's not noticeable in the end
>>96885676try retarder and/or flow improver, or use ink instead of paint
>>96886433Leaffag, they're fairly close in price, less than 10cnd. Good to know about the green and browns, thanks anon.
>>96886447>>96886446I've got a bunch of small skirmish warbands so I was hoping for something with enough variety to keep them distinct and put together teams to demo games.
>>96887321If that's all you're going for then sure either of those would be fine
>>96887321Dont get speed paints 1.0 its a bad formula. Get speed paints 2.0.
>>96887345>>96887339Nice thanks anon.

Are these fine for priming?I was going to get black 2x too but for some reason they only had grey, white and red.
>>96888142i dare you to post a worse photo
>>96888153my dog is asleep on my lap and I had to zoom in okay? I just forgot to mention it
>>96888142The auto primer *might* be okay. I wouldn't use the 2x primer though, in my experience it's really thick.
>>96888142I use that whiteBut it often clogs if you go too long without using it again
>>96888142Yes. All my spraycan hobby products come from the hardware store.
>>96887154Man these new TK models are so cool, I'll definitely get them eventually.

The draw of limited color palette painting is kind of diminished when the idea is that you just use them to mix any color you want anyway.

Noob question. Is it supposed to be sticky after putting paints on mini? Wss trying to line highlight? with pencil/marker but the mini was quite sticky and is kinda hard to mark
>>96890033yes paint usually needs some time to dry and thicker you clump it on the longer it takes
What can i do to make the thigh area look more transparent and wet?
>>96890059Oh, so I gotta wait for a while then. Was wondering if it's because I didn't put vanish on or something.
>>96883712Spinnies are great. They give a much more complete picture of the paintjob than a still ever could
>>96890081you know usually things like these are learned in preschooli mean it sounds pretty far out that someone never used fingerpaints or any paints at all during their life
>>96883131This makes me seeth. Not that it is bad. Just eversthing is so nicely done, why cant the gap be more hidden?
Enjoying 15mm. Surprisingly higher detail models than expected. I'll work on getting these guys on bases next, fingers crossed for not fucking up.
>>96890193Damn...This is super cool and great work ! Any diorama to go with ?
>>96887154I hope rest of the TK rooster gonna get this kind fo remodel treatment.
>>96890308I wonder if they'll have the balls the rework the basic skellies and horses. They're absolute dogshit but a lot of people seem to like them and they're such an integral part of TK aesthetic I feel a refresh would be very divisive.
Does anyone know cool diy terrain sources?
>>96890378The recycling bin
Anyone has any experience with the Army Painter Warpaints? Are they worth it? Do they need any particular handling? I see they have a nice deal on them right now and want to know if its worth pulling the trigger on them
>>96890378does youtube count?
>>96890388Apart from washes, AK is better. Then again, don't limit yourself to just one brand.
>>96890388>>96890394This. AK is better but limiting yourself to just one brand is foolish.To answer your question, the AP Warpaints Fanatic range is pretty good. Certain paints are very thick and need to be watered down quite a lot, and I have terrible experience running them through and airbrush no matter how much thinner and flow improver I use, but they're mostly fine. I'd rate them to be pretty equal to Citadel paints. Most of their range is fine, but the paint thickness and behavior is inconsistent and a certain few paints are kinda shit.
>>96890394>>96890424I'm just asking because I never used them and since they're going oop there is a decent discount on then, so I figured i might get myself a set ot two for cheap
>>96890424Beyond what you said (I have the same experience) my biggest issue with AP is how washed out so many colors are, and that the entire range basically can't into dark, vivid colors (apart from the Blanche set). That, and the usual AP retardation when it comes to oils/white spirit, but I already rambled about that in this general many times. >>96890432I wouldn't waste money with AP sets (apart from washes, if they are selling sets of washes, definitely grab those). Get individual paints you'll use.
>>96890393Well I eas hoping for old pdf's I remember seeing some old carboard diy terrain on some magazines but I can't find them
>>96890432old ap are dogshit, stay away from them even if they are free
>>96890441>That, and the usual AP retardation when it comes to oils/white spirit, but I already rambled about that in this general many times.Wait hold up. Recently I had an issue with using oils on a red killa kan that I had used AP SpeedPaints on. Slaughter Red iirc. The magenta shadow areas turned into a dirty orange brown after a dark red oil wash and I have no idea why. I was lazy and did not varnish the model before oil washing, but I've never had this sort of strange reaction between any other paints and oil washes. It wasn't only the recesses that turned brown either, it was entire panels, whatever areas where the AP paint hadn't been covered by other paints.
>>96890486Don't bring this up or you'll attract AP apologists
>>96890424>I have terrible experience running them through and airbrush no matter how much thinner and flow improver I useI have zero issues with the AP warpaints and my airbrush
>>96890486Yeah, that's the issue. AP paints have a weird, inconsistent reaction to oils (and white spirit). Most of the time, the paint just dissolves (even when dry), sometimes there's discoloration, etc. Picrel is a test that I did some time ago. Either don't use oils with AP, or varnish the fuck out of it beforehand. Which is still imo retarded, because AP costs about the same as other paints that have no such problem.
>>96890262Thanks! No diorama. I'm doing these for Firelock 198X, so they're going on a 40mm square base. I'm planning on putting the bases for the first 3 squads together over the next couple days. Red clay and grass, Georgia style.
Here’s a grey seer wip. I’m kind of winging it on the bell so I would appreciate any advice for that part and for the entire staff>>96890432>>96890388On the topic of AP, their strong and dark tones have always been good and I’ve owned them for some years. I got the Blanche set 1 and it was really fun to use. The colors are nice and it made me get creative, I got the 2nd Blanche set release and it introduces a lot of good reds.Vince Venturella says that the original AP fanatic line lacked good reds and the fiery vermillion that comes in the 2nd Blanche set is very needed. It’s a nice bright red. Pic rel uses a lot of the AP paints from the Blanche set.Banshee brown, the darkness, blanched berry, ironclad grey, and tainted green are some colors I find myself using a lot as base or mid tones to layer over. I really like Banshee brown, the darkness, and paratrooper tan especially. https://youtu.be/iadzL8JPfh8?si=wTSBTzZgWUO8d1U_
>>96890509That's fucked, but thx for the heads-up. I'll keep this in mind when using AP paints & oil washes in the future
Excited to paint something for my secret santee but alas still no email
>>96890557Yeah, it is. The problem has been here for a while now, and AP won't even admit it, like a bunch of fags they are.
>>96890361Don't call me out like this you piss-colored disfigured looking frog.
>>96890521I checked Firelock 198X and everything has such a good vibe.So the minis you've shown are official ? Im so jealous if you have a friend to play with.May you have a blessed time !
I had some spare victrix bits lying around >the dreaded son of some witch bitchNot only does he have six arms one of those six arms is a left! God forgive me for even saying it.

>>96890193But they already are on bases
Never painted an ogre before. The skin areas frighten me.
>>96890810She really needs a shave.
>>96890659Not official models, in this case. These are Team Yankee Soviet motor rifle guys. The people who use minis instead of standees usually use Soviets (uniforms match) or Canadians (guns match) for Feds - there's nothing bespoke that I'm aware of.I play it via TTS, so these minis are more of just a "broadening horizons" collection than practical game pieces I expect to use. I haven't done 15mm before, wanted to try it, and this was a good excuse. Figured $15ish for a tank, $25 for like 9 squads, and that's a good side project to knock out and then come back with more models when I feel like it.Cheers.
>>96890735Whoops, missed this. Most of them are on the little disc bases to slot into Flames of War/Team Yankee bases (the prone infantry are not), but they go on 40mm square bases for squads. I landed on 3/5 models for half/full squads. Just gotta get texture paste, some more paint, and flocking down and they'll be done. Then 3 more squads and a tank.I really do need to get back to my Warhammer stuff sooner rather than later, but this is a nice change of pace.
>>96890834>bases on top of basesThis is not Based, cut the circles off the feet, lazy shit.
>>96890849most small scale games work like that and it wont matter anyway because you will even it out with sand/flockt. eri
gentlemen, first time painting 10mm guys, not at all happy with how they're turning out, going to start over on tuesday when I get my new white spray paint, any advice?
I posted in the trench crusade general but figured I'd post here too.Is there any hobby method to straighten out plastic (this is a 3D print shipped and bent)?
>>96890906>even it out with sand/flockIt never works, you an always see the disk/strip.It's lazy and it looks bad, why bother painting a fine detail miniature if you're just going to leave that big chunk of material on it?
>>96890966Put it in a cup of boiling hot water. Let it stay there until cool.
>>96890915give the can really good long shake and if unsure do the coating in 2 parts with a little drying period in betweenwith brand new cans you might also want to spray for good 5-10 seconds into thin air dont mind the temperature air moisture moon cycle amount of light etc broscience posters just give it a go and find out for yourself
Filled the gaps with watered milliput, repeated that four times and then tried to match the skin tones again and smoothed it out with the airbrush.Thanks anons.Not perfect, but better than before.Would've liked to progressed further with the rest, but it's better this way.
>>96891142I still see it.
>>96891142Still a little noticeable up close. But much better than before, and the paintjob still looks great too.Well done.
First time painting
>>96891365How did I do?
>>96891365>>96891375Oh no, buddy. You've got to be in the top 1% of /btg/ painters before you ought to be posting stuff in this thread.Two entirely different standards of quality between here and there.
>>96891365>>96891375you dont have to necessarily thin the paint that much unless you want to do 2+ coats every timemetal paints work best with dark basecoat no idea what is going on with that robe but its good base to experiment with some drybrushing and layering
>>96891375>>96891365Better than my first minis. Keep it up!Battlemechs are always fun too!(This is 4chan though, so someone out there will be an ass about it though)
I'm thinking of getting an airbrush. What would I need to make sure that no particulate matter gets everywhere if I'm just spraying basic acrylic paints? I work in a carpeted hallway on an old desk, so I don't want to be building up any residue on the carpet or walls. I know about ventilated spray booths, but ideally I don't want to use one because of limited space.
is fleximold anon still here?how was it? did you use it with epoxy in the end? do you recommend it?>>96891142night and day anon
>>96891623use the cardboard box it comes in as a backdrop, that's all really
>>96891623If you are only going to be spraying minis and not canvases (like actual art), you don't have to worry about overspray. Just use some cardboard. Regarding your own protection, either open windows/doors, and/or get some sensible respirator.
>>96891662And the particles won't float back out and get anywhere I don't want it?
>>96890966Is that a clear plastic stackable shoebox with a magnetic door in the background?
>>96890966>>96891717not that anon but I just bought one of these to store my minis in.. I think laying it down with the lid facing up should work nicely?https://a.co/d/0WgIWCn
>>96891680its dry long before it floats down if thats what you are worried aboutclean normally and be prepared for your wiping rag to look really funky from now on
2 out of 3 toads
>>96891717>>96891749I store some of my minis in picrel, these actually have 2 little magnets on top. Works nicely and you can fit quite a decent number of minis inside. I used my country's ebay equivalent but I'm sure this is chinkshit and can be found on ali or temu.
Hope this will solve at least some of the problems with painting eyes.
>>96891680you may notice a bit more dust overall, but nothing concerning and definetly not worse than regular dust, those particles aren't small enough to spread like the plagueif you are going to spray for hours every day you might need a real booth tho
>>96891680If you have high pressure (2-3 bar range) and/or spray at full blast, it can bounce back from cardboard but it still won't travel far. Paint particles you produce with airbrush are not small enough to perform Brownian motion in the air like some nanoparticles from chem labs (t. physicist) and will stay in the air for 10-15 min max before landing. What you should do is to keep door and/or window open (or just vent after work) and keep FFP3 mask/half mask to catch anything that could bounce back but people often use so called "covid masks" just fine too. But again, overspray is easy to avoid if you control the trigger (which you should anyway) and keep pressure at around 1.5 bar instead.Fun thing - I was curious what Chat GPT and Copilot would say about this subject and, as predicted, it produced peak fearmongering (including suggesting that paint particles would get back into air from slightest motion, pure bullshit) and, also as predicted, listed Reddit posts as source. Let that sink in, the little buddy.
>>96891941That's what 90% of AI responses are though, it just skims the top few articles that Google normally produces and summarizes it. Often times when you are GPT'ing something obscure you can scroll down and read through one of the top R*ddit results and find a post/comment saying almost exactly what GPT spat out, sometimes even word-for-word.
>>96891999Trips of truth have spoken. But it's still a bit of sad.
Funny, piece of palette paper (unsuitable for wet palette, sadly) I use for removing excess paint from brush now looks like something taken straight from modern art gallery, where people pay millions for something similar.
>>96889497don't you need an inkjet printer for that kind of thing since you're basically printing onto a thin plastic sheet?>>96891623>I work in a carpeted hallwaywtf you aren't even in a room?
>>96892189>wtf you aren't even in a room?He's lucky his mum hasn't stuck him in the basement cupboard!
>>96892165I’ve thought about that, too. It’s fun to see what I unconsciously end up making at the end of a project.
>>96892189I just annexed the old family computer desk that housed nothing but a printer for many years. Realistically I could turn the nearby spare bedroom into a hobby room, but there's a lot of shit in there I'd have to move around and that's honestly a paint. The lighting in there sucks too.>>96892231What am I, Harry Potter?

>>96890361>>96890705I'm looking for a very specific video I think was shared here from one of the old guard about army painting advice at a conference.It was- Low quality- One of the tips was to pick one, easy to paint primary color for your army, like he used Raven guard as an example- another tip was to assemble a box, paint it, before you even open a new box.
>>96892240just move enough shit in the spare room so you can put a desk next to whatever window is in it and build a spray booth on it.>family computer in the hallwaysomeone didn't want their kids fapping in privacy
>>96892270looks like a fucking cumrag lmao
>>96892304Uhhh... I think you need to see a doctor, maybe even an inquisitor.
>>96892189I've heard inkjets are worse for decals, need postprocessing on the sheets to make them workable etc>>96892247yeah, very fine printing too
>>96892304Your cumrag looks like that? The fuck?
>>96892270>>96892165>>96892237I use an old blister pack front, both for that and as a palette. And re-use, and re-re-use. Occasionally I cut down the paint a bit. About 14mm thick in the middle at the moment according to my calipers.
>>96892385I did that for awhile, now I usually use beer bottle caps as mini palettes, can get 2-3 colors into one.

>>96892412Nah, I just like re-using it. I'll reach for something else when necessary (Tamiya paints for example will rapidly start dissolving the regular acrylics here, so they need to be mixed on a clean surface). I've also been using the same curd cheese tub for a my water pot since the late nineties.>>96892397>>96892439Don't drink much from such bottles, so I use small aluminium foil candy cups for mixing/thinning airbrush paints that don't like being mixed in the airbrush cup directly.
>>96892505>Don't drink much from such bottlesI use them because I have a constant supply growing on my table
>>96892499That would be you, coming out of nowhere to seethe about an anon who hasn't posted here in weeks/months.
>>96892424this year i also had the pleasure of meeting the rare finch of judgement

>>96892499anon youve been sperging about that anon for an exponentially longer period of time than that anon was even hereits time to accept that (You) need meds
Official art have her hair and tail white but I cannot pass opportunity to make mini Senko-san, even if medium quality.I started painting flames with yellow, is this good idea?
>>96890080Maybe get some reference photos of wet fabric over skin, but otherwise I'd suggest highlights of the gown colour along 'inner'/under' side of the thigh where the fabric would bundle, and a lighter skin-shade glaze/highlights/selective gloss varnish where the leg is pushing through the fabric most, then a thin glaze of the gown colour to cover it back up. Just my thoughts, though.A question for anyone else: Someone in a previous thread was crapping on 'dry sprayed primer' - what is that, and why is it bad?
>>96892385Wait until it's a bit thicker, then remove all the layers together and sculpt them into a miniature.
>>96892240>and that's honestly a paint.No shit?
>>96892590very realistic, airbrushed or?
>>96892859>I started painting flames with yellow, is this good idea?Might leave them blending in with all that orange a bit if the shading and highlights don't pull the two apart. You're also going very hard on the warm side of the colour wheel here, which needn't perhaps be fatal of course, but still.
>>96892921Orange will shift towards yellow during highlighting phase, I assumed that flames start with yellow and goes towards red as it "cools down" away from source.Also, I need to figure out how to shade that white - with grey wash or thinner Apothecary White contrast?
we reactive armor now
>>96893033Nice but put more on
>>96892590Did he help you paint?
>>96893033You could easily squeeze in a few more
Meat dragon progress. I havent worked on him in a few days. Today I plan to finish the reds. The red is going to fade into violet / purple on the wings and tail. What I can do it basically layer over the purple so the red isnt as severe. The red is basically the undertone to outline what shouldnt be blue. A lot of work ahead to clear this up after. I'm going to aim for end of November.
>>96892385I also use blister packs. I used to use a single bathroom tile that I would clean.
>>96893127>>96893166Ohh, I will.
>>96892385man, i used to use those blister pack fronts for mixing paints, but seeing how much paint i was wasting in making every kroot a slightly different color by adding a drop of grey or green really bugged me.
>>96893166Careful! Reactive armour could have unintended consequences if used against Gauls!
I'm glad I'm not alone in using trash for a palletI've got an old frozen meal tray that I use
>>96893403how is it still frozen?
>>96893465I've got a mini fridge under my paint desk
>>96893403I have a wet palette, but 90% of the time, I just use an extra tile I had lying around.
>>96893480Wet palette is such a convenient tool I honestly can't even imagine painting without it at this point.
>>96892862dry spray is when the carrier solvent in a paint dries in the air before the paint gets to whatever you're painting. it's caused by spraying from too far away or in an environment that's too hot. it's bad mostly because it looks like shit and probably also isn't good for adhesion. going by the pictures posted itt it's extremely common. I think people are afraid of flooding the details on their models so they try to spray from too far away.
Got my SS match in the mail, start checking yours bros
>>96893585i really need to make myself one that looks cool instead of an old plastic container
>>96893585Tried one, wans't very impressed, usually can't be arsed to use it nowadays. Then again, I had about a quarter of a century of worked-in habits as baggage when I first tried it, so I guess I may just be too old a dog to learn to sit in a hurry there.
>>96893797I got the same match I had a couple of santas back.
>>96893191why is the skin blue
More grisaille.After 3 years I still don’t know how to properly thin paint
>>96893865High elf dragon turned chaos after it ate a bird of change. It's going to go to white for the heads and some of the details
My eyes weren't having any of me painting the farseer's gem collection today, so I finished up c41-N instead. Then I gave him a quick spray of varnish... which appeared to be frosting up on me. Spraying on a heavy coat of pure lacquer thinner appears to have solved that, though it might also have glossed up the varnish a bit.
>>96892590My inspector this year was a Squirrel.I hope the Finch wasn't too harsh
>>96893928>grisailleFrench for drybrushing?
>>96893797got mine, and very happy to say i can provide plenty of what he is happy to receive from my bits backlog
>>96893797I got mine and I have absolutely nothing he wants.I'm sure I can make it work somehow but it's still just ahhhhh
>>96894023yeah but with a wet brush
>>96883150>>96889045Shit, I seriously forgot about it this year.Someone has santas email adress?
How'd I do?
>>96894385Pretty good
>>96894385need some blacklining on all those trims and rivets
Primer on. This is going to be a gift for dad. Part of me getting out of meaningless vicarious consumption of things I want to do in my life and actually doing them. Let’s hope I can get some decent results.
Posting to force me to keep going, Im spending way too much time on him.>>96894385Clean, but agreeing with >>96894457>>96892261I suggest to be less heavy handed on highlights, but he's ok, keep it up !
>>96894457idk what that means.
Been working on this cyborg pupper
I think this is it, just waiting for the wash to dry so I can drybrush the skulls. Any last minute feedback?
>>96894630Blacklining is essentially painting dark lines in places where 2 colors or surfaces meet to add definition.
>>96894630If you're being literal, it would tracing a black line to define contours.Here, you can just be accurate with your wash and not going berserk and spilling it everywhere.>>96894688Fucking rad
>>96894385Overall it looks pretty good. You could do with deeper shadows over most of it to increase contrast, especially on the reds. Also paint the rivets on the armor silver to break up the red. You could also do with a brighter fine highlight on the red to make it stand out more and give more interest. The bloody axe looks a bit like it's just been lightly painted red, so maybe consider picking up a blood effect paint like Blood for the Blood God. The skin looks ok, but you could do with adding some more life colors. A slight reddish tint to give it some warmth. The black cloak could also use a highlight. Your base is rather basic, but I'm a pretty shit baser myself. Some variety in elevation might help.Keep in mind that these are just the things I can find to point out as places of improvement. It's by no means a poorly painted model.
>>96894688That freehand is rad and I'm sure you hold all the power autism gives. The only thing I could think of to improve it would be to make it dirty, at least at the bottom. Maybe some blood spatter.
>>96892590>>96894021Like Richard Pryor said, "You got to have pets to help you out."
>>96894688Maybe make the lettering pop out a little more and some highlights to the skull at the top and those 2 decorations at the sides.
gotta do some clean up on the termie prints, but got two of them built today. I am waiting on a replacement part for my airbrush, but I'll add these to my growing white consul collection
>>96894779and of course I forget the pic

I haven't gotten my match for SS yet. Should I be concerned?
White paint suddenly started cracking all over the end of her gown, and I had to use IPA to smooth it out. Is this because I was airbrushing in high humidity 80% or something?
>>96895259Gods, he's strong
Only the base left to do. Like it ?
>>96893797haven't seen mine come through yet
>>96895363He's pretty nice but a bit lacking in contrast imo. A black and brown oil wash or some black lining would improve the look a lot. Or some pin washing with regular acrylic washes
>>96895363it's hard to tell what parts are supposed to be just metal and which parts are supposed to be black painted metal. I think his boots and the end of the stikk bomb could both be a little darker.
>>96894634damn, that's clean AF, brother!
I'll probably try and clean up some of the highlights tomorrow but feeling pretty happy with tonight's progress.
>>96894588Looks good, but I have a question, why do so many people paint safety stripes on their minis? I don't understand why a super psycho killing machine would have caution and safety markings all over it. Yet I see it frequently. Is it a running joke or meant to be ironic?
>>96895810 its just cool dude
>>96895810It pisses off Perturabo and that's always a plus.It's also a general painting flex when they look good.
I should have just waited for the plastic cement glue to arrive.Super glue is fucking awful to use.
>>96895948>Super glue is fucking awful to use.Why?
>>96895996bonds too quickly so if I mess up it's impossible to reposition have to rip it off and it leaves an glossy/white frosting on the models and also it gets on my fingers easily which is awful too... hopefully tamiya thin cement isn't this bad to work with
>>96896011was this your first time gluing a model together?
>>96896011>bonds too quickly so if I mess up it's impossible to reposition have to rip it off and it leaves an glossy/white frosting on the models and also it gets on my fingers easily which is awful too... hopefully tamiya thin cement isn't this bad to work withJust use your needle to apply super glue.
>>96896023yeah I'm on my third one>>96896049this looks like something I'd manage to stab myself with on accident
>>96896054in case you haven't figured it out yet, less is more when you're dealing with super glue on miniatures. if you're getting it all over your fingers you're definitely using too much. getting glue all over the place will not make the bond stronger and it might clog up the details on the model if you're getting it everywhere. whats your first kit?
>>96896054>this looks like something I'd manage to stab myself with on accidentNah, just glue the needle to a handle with cover or mechanical pencil something. It's also pretty good for cleaning airbrush nozzle
>>96896082Cadia Stands. Yeah, probably using too much. It's just really viscous and runs all over very quickly.>>96896084>glue the needle to a handlethis sounds like a shiv
I wasn't very happy with them at first but I think the carapace is coming out at least okmaybe it'll be easier with the larger nids
>>96896049You're badly fucking up with superglue and fear stabbing yourself with some very large needle, I think maybe it's not the tools' fault and instead you might be a little bit retarded.
What is the deal with the SS contrast paint question? Is it just because it's been kind of divisive historically?
>>96894178It's the same email as last year, and the years before. Its also in the picture in the top of the thread.
>>96894630>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl5GnGCw6Coyou can use a wash, ink, or just diluted paint, you just need to be gentle, don't load your brush to much and let it run along the cornersit helps breaking up the different materials and surfaces and as a bonus hides the probable mistakes along the lines where two colors meet
>>96896621is this a grug version of panel lining or the kind of pin wash you would do on rivets?
>>96895184Nah, santa usually does it in batches over a couple of days - he might be doing regions one at a time (USA, Europe etc )
>>96896470>signups closed>ask a question nowbegone servant of shadow
>>96896714I was just reminded because I got my assignment
>>96896667pane lining IS pinwashing, this is essentially the same, technique doesn't matter here as much as the final product
Ok, calling it here.
>>96896803neato.Did you actually freehand the skulls, or did you do the printout thing?
>>96896803It's amazing anon, the runes really made it feel natural.
>>96896805Freehand.
>>96895184Yes, you were left out on purpose.>>96896710Essentially this. I sent the emails for around 50% of the people yesterday night, then went to bed. The rest will follow today.
>>96892424You disgust me anon, replace that paper towel in your wet palette. What the fuck is wrong with you? I hope for your sake that you aren't a brush licker. It must stink
>>96896939If it's good enough for 6 daddy long legs, it's good enough for anon to drink.
Anyone tried this? Your thoughts?
>>96897077Tried what? I don't understand what the picture is trying to give examples of.
>>96897077what are we looking at here? what's with the white strips? is each named color a triad? is right side the same but washed?
>>96897077I wonder if there will actually be a market for these. Sure, the idea is nice but you can already do what they're selling here with regular metallics and inks or speedpaints plus I feel like TMM is not a very popular way to paint metals anyway, right? Unless people just use it as basecoat - edge highlight #1 - edge highlight #2 or something.
>>96890834Well, I think this worked out acceptably for a first tangle with 15mm. I've gotta rotate back to my other projects for now, since I need to finish a few units by the 25th, but this is fun.
>>96897120>you can already do what they're selling here with regular metallics and inks or speedpaintsyou lose some shine that way>Unless people just use it as basecoat - edge highlight #1 - edge highlight #2 or something.that's exactly the point>I feel like TMM is not a very popular way to paint metals anyway, right?its the default way of painting metal for most people, even if it's just one color and wash, you only really see NMM for display pieces and very sparingly for whole armies, this place is not a good representation of the overall market, ppl here is more involved than the average joehowever i'm with you that half of those colors won't see much use, having good coppers and bronzes is nice, purples, reds, greens... not so much, it's also not encouraging that half of those photos show bubbles, maybe he was just putting that together too quick
>>96897173it needs taller grass and/or more base variation
>>96897175>you lose some shine that wayfair>that's exactly the pointI thought they were trying to market it more as a layering thing to build up smooth highlights?>its the default way of painting metal for most peopleOh I meant the TMM that you paint like NMM that is not very popular. Standard basecoat-wash-edge highlight is definitely the go-to for most people
>>96897180Noted for the future. This is what I had at hand, so it's what I worked with. Think my local hobby store carries taller grass, I'll have to go look.
>>96897188>I thought they were trying to market it more as a layering thing to build up smooth highlights?it's both, its just a triad system so you can paint metals liek you paint any other color, base midtone highlight, how much you blend is up to you, now you have the tool>Standard basecoat-wash-edge highlight is definitely the go-to for most peoplemostly because the selection of metallics has always been more limited
>>96897077>>96897088>>96897097Im assuming all of these bricks have been primed white. Both sides painted with zero coats at the top, showing just the primer, then the middle section with 1 coat of paint, then the bottom/last layer with 2 coats.Then the right side has a matching wash applied to it.
>>96897231oh so its base+highlight+wash, not an actual triad, gotcha
>>96897231It's not 1 coat and 2 coats, but (high)light paint and base paint
>>96897192a couple bushes here and there, a broken branch, some bigger rocks, just to add some visual interest, otherwise its fineit also depends on what environment you are trying to place them in, if its vietnam-like think plants with big leaves instead of tall grass and so onpicrel may be a bit too much for what you were going for but that's the general idea
Still working on him, practicing thinning paints and brush control....the goalpost is always moving, I would have been ecstatic with this years ago but now I see so many flaws and room for improvement...I want to learn display level painting, not tryina spend 300 hours on a mini or anything but there are just so many skills you dont learn if you dont slow down, and I spent so much time painting fast and loose....>>96897296He's neat>>96897173So teeny, good job>>96896813I love your freehand keep up the good work>>96896179I think they look good
>>96897352>I would have been ecstatic with this years ago but now I see so many flaws and room for improvementgood, that means you are getting better and actively doing so
>>96897350The aim is Georgia red clay soil, though I missed the mark on color a bit. Thanks for the recommendations.
>>96897365Yeah, might as well try...i've been feeling like I need to do hard things recentlyPlus i'm super inspired by the recent round of golden demon entries....i want to learn how to emulate itBasecoating for days
>>96897408>Plus i'm super inspired by the recent round of golden demon entries....i want to learn how to emulate itThat's great anon!Don't get put down by thinking "I can't do that". I guarantee those same painters went through the same struggle you are in right now. The only difference between them and you is time spent painting minis. This involves all the different techniques they've spent time on practicing and trying out.
>>96897405>Georgia red clay soilcant' say i know how that is but dry clay cracks, so try some sort of crackle paint or medium, that would look good in patches>>96897408>recent round of golden demon entriesany links?
Ok, quick mock idea for the next banner.
>>96897474Why not a dog instead of a goat? That's usually the more common couple.
>>96897484Because Black Philip is based.
>>96897438This is my fav, just google, there is a gallery article on warhammer community
>>96897474she should be with her back to the goat for...reasons
>>96897474counterpoint
Unpopular opinion, but I think this GD was pretty weak and uninteresting.
I always forget how difficult it is to come up with gift ideas for you people when most of you already have a bunch of stuff and don't put anything specific in your wishlist message.
>>96897719I, on the other hand, am afraid of how much should I put in, as to both not overwhelmed my match and myself and to avoid disappointment.
>>96897719Hobby supplies are always a safe bet>nice brush>nice nippers>nice hobby knife>pack of milliput>bottle of tamiya extra thin>some tufts or other basing stuffetc. My match just put "marines" without even specifying a chapter and I have no clue what the fuck to get him. I'm thinking of getting one of the "universal" minis like a techmarine, painting that for him and maybe adding a dreadnought or something.
>>96897776>My match just put "marines"Send him several figures of the vtuber Houshou Marine
>>96897808now that's a good idea
>>96897582This year was incredible as far as the standard of entries goes. A lot of professional painters decided they wanted GD clout, significantly more than usual, making the competition some of the fiercest, maybe ever.
>>96897776>>96897719I do a once over of the online places I order from and order myself random stuff, and either order 2 or split it if that's possible
>>96897808Paint them blue firstUltramarines
>>96897582just more spaniardslop with overuse of highlighting and layering. Everything looks fake and plastic, surreal and not grimdark.
>>96896546>It's the same email as last year, and the years beforeI know, my mail program doesnt save that long though and I dont see any mail, even with decoding its just the closed form.I dont even want something myself, Im fine with just sending.
>>96897719
Still haven't received my secret santa emailWhat gives sampta?
>>96897924this is a trend in gd because that's what the judges looks for a lot of the time, remember 'the lizard'?the hh gold is quite good, it has a very natural light
>>96897924$100 this guy doesn't paint above basecoat-wash-highlight standard
>>96898178let me guess, you need more?
>>96896803Looks neat anon
>>96898178>not being able to do something disallows you to have an subjective opinion on itsurely all the judges can paint like that too, right?
>>96898092>remember 'the lizard'?I haven't been on WIP for a while so no I don't.
>>96898391slayer sword one year was just a skink
>>96898401a fucking beautifully painted skink though
New thread:>>96898412>>96898412>>96898412
>>96898391>>96898406technically perfect, absolutely boring
>>96898427>technical skill at this level is boringyeah whatever
>>96898453nta, but I kinda agree with anon. I very much respect the skill and dedication, but it's just so lifeless, it looks like from a not particularly good comic book. Imo, the base has more life and interest to it than the mini.
>The first 150 dollars of just-coomer-minis has arrived for my SS match today
>>96895141Are these still wip or are you finished? I quite like them as they are, like stealth armor.
