Got into Battletech over the summer so I decided to try my hand at making terrain. First tree prototype made from dollar store supplies.
I needed some weight on the bottoms and it worked out cheaper to use $5 worth of quarters rather than drive to the hardware store for washers.
>>97170420That's great, but ... how do we stand in the hex where the woods are?
>>97170420>>97170428The green felt to define solid forest is only a slightly different shade than the bristol board we'll be playing on next game. I'm going to make bristol board roads and felt rivers as well. I'm planning to make some styrofoam cones into comms towers with toothpick antennas.Those are the first minis I've painted so they're pretty lackluster
>>97170446It's alpha strike so no hexes. the trees are actually there. To be considered traversing woods you pass through defined clusters of three or more trees
Yo, anons. Post some other anon's work if you have it saved and tell why you like it.I'll post some later too, don't have access to my pack of saved images.Let's say something nice about who's with us in this tread.
>>97170446great looking minis btw
Dunno if this is the place to ask, but can anyone suggest some kind of woodland familiar minatures? Something like pic related, but I'd need like 6 of them at least.
>>97170390
>>97170466Titties aside, I really like the color palette and how cleanly painted the minis are. I'm realizing I could say the same thing about most of the pics I save from here; I guess I like bright, bold colors.
>>97170507Posting some of my faves
>>97170518
>>97170528These are great objective markers, I wanna pick 'em up and examine the details
>>97170538Last one so I don't eat up too much of the thread. I really like the fall colors here, it's not something I've seen very much for elves and it works really well.
>>97170466I cream for cloak
>>97170658That anon's horse skellies are very cool too!I dig the way he does the metals.
can someone post the poorly painted faces collage?
>>97170696Why do you need us to post your work for you?
>>97170721I lost it! I need to see my faces on there!
>>97170466Liked the black a lot.
Second orc big un some
Thanks NSW santa my package arrived today. Absolutely stoked and yes it's adding to my immense backlog lmao
Makin' lostech fuel tanks for an on-going dezgra Spheroid campaign.
krieg friend please tell me how you are doing with the progress
So, i've got some emails with questions about gift status and if i have tracking numbers, and i saw concerned Anons being not sure if they can/should write me already in the previous thread: You can always write me, and usually i reply quickly if i'm not asleep or at work. The worst that can happen is me telling you that i dont know anything. But to somewhat answer the question here too: Last weekend, I've sent a general reminder to everyone who had not provided a tracking number by that time. That was around 40 people. This number is now down to 16, and those 16 will get another urgent reminder to ship their gift until 20th. That is the final deadline, and if there is no rock solid excuse, whoever is later than that is considered a grinch. So, if you do not get an email with a tracking number by end of next week, absolutely feel free to reach out to me, if i do not write you first.And last but not least, and without me wanting to stir up this topic from previous threads again: If you are absolutely unhappy with the contents of whatever you got in the mail, write me about it too. Its no help to just be mad about it here, but never mention it via email.
Ay fa/tg/uys what we thinking of this digital kitbash? i originally made it as a joke and now i kinda wanna use it in turnip28 or trench crusade
>>97170466Some time ago an anon painted a weeb mini from Neko Galaxy I think he said it was? It was this girl with a yellow jacket and a glowing sword, it was really nice. I was absolutely sure I had it saved but I don't, unfortunately.
>>97171297The pistols look like they're glued to his palms more than actually held (making me wonder about how well he's gripping the mace as well), but otherwise I quite like it.
It is definitely a bit too late to realise I should've mixed some more dark green into the emerald layers, now it's a bit too clean to look natural; a friend recced me an indigo glaze for the recesses + lower curved edges and a very thin lime glaze for the highlights + crests. Is that sound advice to follow, I'm really bad when it comes to visualising this kinda stuff
Goddamn Golden and pro acryl droppers give me shits. I'd prefer a GW pot over this
>>97171749>It is definitely a bit too late to realise I should've mixed some more dark green into the emerald layersBy the looks of things you've only base-coated it, so just paint over with the new and correct base colour?>I'm really bad when it comes to visualising this kinda stuffToss your reference photo into an image editor and grab the dropper tool to see what colours this or that bit in the gradients really are. Then copy that (or try to depending on how divine your blending skills are). As we can see here the base colour you've chosen is quite close to what would really be the extreme highlights.
>>97171782But I can't deny they make a good yellow
>As we can see here the base colour you've chosen is quite close to what would really be the extreme highlights.In hue, I should probably add, not so much in lightness.
Repostan the centurion
>>97170658much love anonsave yourself the finished shot
>>97171817Kingshit
>>97171814Pretty sexy. I assume that the highlights were made with airbrush?>>97171789Tasty yellow, anon.
>>97171839Yes, all the shading and highlights is just airbrush and oil paints. I'm too retarded for acrylic blending.
>>97171785>just paint overThe picture doesn't quite show it, but it's technically a couple of emerald layers over a silver basecoat so it retains a bit of shininess; I had originally tested a bunch of copper/bronze metallics but they ended up far too dull>Toss your reference photo into an image editorI'd never considered doing that, thank you anon. I guess I struggle a lot since I can never quite translate the shapes from a reference (and how they interact with their own light source) into the shapes of my minis (and how they would interact with an hypothetical light source). But ye I can understand a lot more now, you have no idea how much you've helped me.
>>97168061Do thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY8Acdi59M0
>>97170951Glad you like it mate :)
>>97171881nta but thank you
>>97171782Do you happen to live in a high altitude area?
>>97170466recent one from bt anon, I like marines in general and the ones in wip tend to be nicer than you know where>>97170543true the fall palette works well for elves. >>97171814looks f awesome
Anybody here unfortunate enough to be Canadian?A Canadian hobby webstore is selling some of the new Formula P3 paints. Are they any good and if so what are the must have colours from the P3 paint line?
>>97171982I feel like a P3 enjoyer would be more helpful than a Canadian for this question.
Anon content spotted in eceleb videos
>>97172121Was it at least a nice e-celeb?
Just received a very well packed parcel from Croatia.Thank you so much Anon. >Victrix sprues>Some Primaris Aggressors>a nice card>a random red paint >some tufts>box for the cat
>>97172131Also included>a shitton of chocolate and other sweets, and even some Negros.
>>97172124It was a squidmar video (not the main guy though). Idk, I don't normally watch him but he's not viscerally off-putting like most mini painting channels from what I've seen.
>>97172135And last but not least>A nicely painted and cool looking Dark Angel with a cool power-warpike>a recast CSM lord, which i did not take a picture off, because its not much to see.Thanks again Anon, a really nice selection of stuff, and i cant wait to assemble some of those Victrix Rus during the holidays.
>>97172139emil?
>>97172121ah, just saw this vid. This is at that italian painting competition right?
>>97171959Thanks anon!
>>97172135>and even some NegrosI thought it's illegal to own these nowadays?
>>97172124>>97172131>>97172135>>97172143damn that's a super nice gift
>>97172143that's pretty dope. >>97171959This guy's stuff is insane. >>97171817kino>>97171749You've painted the midtone, just go do the rest of it now. >>97171868 do you have any pearlescent mediums? I like using them for this kinda thing. >>97171814This is super well done, but why so green?I love all the stuff people post here. Even the stuff that I don't think is very well executed. I find it really refreshing to see someone happy to share and I appreciate where people start from. It's nice to see the satisfaction that a project can give and how people can grow over time. xoxo
>>97172202>but why so green?It's a jungly Raptor in the jungle. That said, I'm using different colors on the next batch of the Raptor boys, it's a bit too vibrant for me.
>>97172154Yeah, that's the one.>>97172145No idea. If there are only 2 main guys, then yeah probably the second one. I don't even know the name of the main squidmar guy though.
>>97170973Hell yeah these are dope. I might consider a darker tone and/or metal highlighting for the gray parts? I don't like gray paint on minis. >>97170913Are you making their puffy sleeves yourself? >>97170821... This guy's stuff is so insane. >>97170538>>97170528Oouugghh~>>97170428Oh hey! A Canada anon! East coast? Ur trees are cute and I used the same method to weigh mine down. also used heavier clay for some others, got it at Michael's on sale but forget the brand.I might suggest trying to make them different shapes? Kinda looks like there's a very large and very dedicated arborist on the battlefield?I dumped a bunch last thread, so don't really have a ton of other stuff to show off. These are print failures I was testing some paint on. Been thinking about Beksiński's art a lot lately.
Why are there so many Canadians in this thread?
>>97172258And why not? Canada is great country.
>>97172277I AM Canadian (But I don't drink molson).I just think we seem disproportionately represented.Then again, maybe it's why this is the single thread that isn't a nightmare all the time.
>>97172258Quebec nation
>>97172253>I don't like gray paint on minis.I'll try to change your mind.But the metal highlighting for the fuel tanks is a good idea, since they're supposed to be 200~ years old. Come to think of it, they need some rust too, I think.
>>97172258>>97172258BC here. From the SS and the posts o wip I know of at least 6-7 Leaf-based anons.
>>97171959Has he posted his army yet?
>>97172202>do you have any pearlescent mediumsI shoulda probably looked into them BEFORE deciding to go for this schemeBut it was a spur-of-the-moment decision and I enjoy salvaging my disasters however I can
Been working on this model for a competition. >>97170507I fucking love your work anon.
>>97170507Most excellent gobbos.
Anon with the military post office, your gift should have been delivered on Tuesday (I think?).
>>97172131>>97172135>>97172143Nice nice, Im glad you like it. Enjoy anon.
>Wanna try chromatic black>mix deep red and black>it's just brownwelp. Idk what I expected.
>>97172940you need purer pigments for that, not gonna work with you usual hobby paints, that red probably has a lot of gray or white in ot for coverage, and the black might have blue too
>>97172954*scoff!*My pigments are pure, sir! How dare you!PR254 for the red and PG7 for the green.I'm mostly just complaining, it will be good for my use case I think.
>>97166411Damn shipping was fast, I sent it tuesday.Glad you liked it!
>>97172253>Are you making their puffy sleeves yourself?I'm not *that* talented, I printed some landsknecht arms at 170% size and then greenstuff em on
Finally some progress on the damsel. I also brought out an old bottle of chestnut wash for her hair, keeping the retro theme going.
>>97170951>Oldschool metals>in Australia, where GW was most unkind since foreverthat is a very special haul
my D.C. Santa came through and I'm very grateful. You handpicked all the lady's favorite types of sweets (do I gotta worry?), although I told about the cookie incident and now everyone's scared of the homemade syrup.I cherish the squigs, it will probably be the start of me taking the Night Goblins plunge I've kind of wanted to since I first saw metal fanatics. I hope your match was generous and that you have a very Merry Christmas!
>>97170485Warpforge, Rackham miniatures might have some stuff you're looking for, or you could look artisan guild minis from an Etsy manufacturer That would be the my starting point
>>97170466I don't save too many pictures to save space, but I love it when people make shitty Photoshop edits! Also it's really nice to see progress made on minis or just how people make kitbashes. This guy used a John Goodman Fred Flintstone head because the uncanny valley from the doll really sells the final product, and I have to agree with him>>97170518Hey that's one of mine! Lol I'm really happy that you saved it
>>97170466>>97173273And this is one of the edits I'm talking about haha
Anyone know if the tamiya clear paints are toxic to inhale?They have a very strong smell
Almost done with the necromancer!I just put a coat of varnish on the princess of white flame, I think all that's left after that is redoing the skin, maybe a bit paler
>>97173288Fuck
>>97173284Their "acrylics" are solvent based so yeah, they shouldn't be inhaled. If you intend to spray them, either wear a mask with organic filters or with open wide window. Preferably both.
>>97173294The paint on the girls seems a bit too thick.What are the reds you've used?
>>97173320That's annoying. My bird insists on helping by stealing brushes so he'll have to go to jail and clink the bars and scream injusticesThanks anon
>>97170390How many of these do I put in each bottle?I wanna do this once and be done. Is 1 enough or do I put in 2 each?
>>971733441 is enough, I put 2 in citadel pots but that's because they're dogshit. That turquoise paint is super nice btw
>>97173344I use 1 when I rebottle Citadel paints. It's been enough.
>>97173284A good rule is, if you can smell it, there are VOCs present in the air.
>>97173335Vallejo, but I think it's mostly not enough shading. I'll work on it when the varnish dries
>>97173344>inb4 some retard spergs out he should've bought a kilogram of stainless steel beads from aliexpress for $5 instead
>>97173354>>97173349Thanks. I plan to use it to paint parts of the Skryre rats with it. Not quite sure how it will work out.Mostly looking to get a stormfiend box art armor plate look, just more teal rather than dark blue.
>>97173365Spergs like that are usually the same ones who then complain on reddit about rust in their paints.
>>971733442. They should rub against each other
>>97173389Wouldn't that be gay?
>>97173359I have no sense of smell so am I good?
>>97171749it's a cool idea but wouldn't you have been better off approaching it like a candy metallic?
>>97173389I already put 1 in 5 of them ... T_T I just pray it works good enough.
