stop calling it varnish. if you are a bongoloid and insist on using the wrong words for things that's up to you, but there's no reason for americans to be copying them.
I like how genuine desire to make positive commentary to others work slowly turns Yuru Camp into one of /WIP/ symbols.
>>97555500Reddit tier backpats. Now he's avatarfagging in the OP.
>>97555512I made the thread and I'm not that anon, chill out
>>97555495fpwp
Started preparing some of Secret Santa gift models for priming, now while I don't play CSM, I simply glued these guy in "cool" way and wonder if in lore there are characters insisting on dual wielding ranged or melee weaponry among them.>>97555512Trying too hard.
>>97553837>where's that basing bit from?That looks to me like the "escape pod" that was part of a short-run set of objectives from a few editions ago.>>97555520Thanks for keeping up. I could see our thread was getting old last night, but we were only on page 7 and I was getting really sleepy.
>>97555495What is it called then lmao
Will keep scraping at these boys.
>>97555530Warhammer models have really lost the plot over the years. These look so ridiculous (in a bad way) like something from Fortnite or Overwatch 2
>>97555588You need to go back.
I haven't been able to order Rosemary and Co. kolinsky brushes in the US since the sanctions on Russia. What kolinsky brushes are my American bros using in 2026? My rosemary brushes have lasted years but it time for some new ones, I've really abused these things
>>97555588Well, that sounds like fitting for Emperor's Children, right? Isn't it like Chaos Space Marines are a bit crazy and many are "show offs"?
>>97555594>nuhammer kiddie can't handle criticism And where are you ironically implying I need to back to?
>>97555588these ones look too fantasy magic style to me and not in a good way, but the franchise has been up for so long it makes sense they change and follow modern trends
>>97555512>Reddit tier backpatsnot to siderail the thread but more like backpacks because yuru posting has its roots on /out/
>>97555629
>>97555512you're free to make posts that shit on everything instead but we both know you won't do it because it would actually require a bit of effort
>>97555639I give honest criticism and advice, I do not shit on anything.
>>97555610No not really, I think the problem is when they scale creeped their new models and tried to give them more realistically proportions, but they also tried to keep the silly Warhammer elements, it just doesn't work. It looks stupid. The silly Warhammer shit looks good on the whacky oldhammer models, but it's just gay on the new models. It's uncanny and comes off as ridiculous (bad). It's like the new IG models, they tried to make them more realistically instead of stocky squat dudes and that just made them look stupid. Their helmets were made to be chunky, and noa they just look undersized and retarded, like those helmets you put on infants with mishaped heads to try to correct the shape. And the "DYMANIC" poses are so fucking awful, on these Emperors children, it looks like faggots posing for a theatre plays promo poster, not men fighting in war.
>>97555653>it looks like faggots posing for a theatre plays promo posterI thought that's lore-accurate but okay, I get your points.
>>97555668>lore accurate Lmfao maybe if you read Blacked Library nulore slop
>>97555614back to other brainrotted subhumans on /40k/.
>>97555723trying too hard at this point
>>97555653I half agree half don’t. Truescale will always be better than heroic scale; I do not miss tree trunk hands of my childhood high elf spearmen. But one of the caddies lately infiltrated the design teams just does not understand that helmets have to go OVER a head. And so all the helmeted heads on the new HH minus (and the emps champs) are comically small. Same thing for the IG you mentioned. But the rest of the space marines and csm look good and I’m glad that even though the rescaled primaris they kept the heads and pauldrons the same size as my old ones so I can mix and match.And dynamic models look cool, but repeat poses do not so that’s a double edged sword imo.
>>97555650few days ago i was told im apparently some troll that frequents /40kg/ on a regular no idea where that came fromive been posting my shit here before there was /tg/ to begin with and if i wanted to be known for throwing shit around i would have made a better work of it
>>97555598eufag here, is aliexpress still a viable option for you there?
After much trial and error, headaches, and around 200 hours of printing, I finally have all the pieces for divine axe rhitta. Anybody have any large prop experience? What's the best way to get everything glued? Im using weld on 16 but I have never tried to line up something so big and I have to hold it together for a few minutes to let it set.Also, recommendations for metalic spray paint. It's mostly gold with a little silver. Im hoping to use my airbrush for finer details.
>>97555512I'm sorry anon, I didn't mean to make you angry. I'll drop the images, it is against the rules after all. Some anons said they enjoy these posts so I'd like to keep doing them though, I hope that's all right with you.
>>97555898Please do not listen to that silly billy
>>97555884This is a very silly looking weapon, what is it from
>>97555898Thats just some sad asshole, keep doing your job, it makes this place a bit nicer every day.
>>97555904It's from some anime called seven deadly sins. I don't watch anime. Im making it for a guy in my D&D group because it is his magic weapon and he wants a full sized one.
>>97555884pin it with rods and plenty of epoxy then sand it neat
He done
>>97555923Ahh, I see I see, nice of you!
>>97555841I've never used it, but I would assume so
>>97555935Looks like a character from TMNT or Tank Girl who is a badguy or good guy depending on the issue. I like it.
>>97555884Soldering iron to welt the pieces seems popular for large pieces, however with PLA at least, I use JB weld, it's stronger than either direction of the actual plastic so if the print could hold itself together then the jb weld should be fine as long as the part was clean and not glossy smooth.That said, it's probably too late, but registration pins or overlaps would be the best option. and then an assortment of clamps and binder clips as necessary. Circle/square pegs and just printing pegs that fit as registration is good. In your case, some I prefer to treat props like a real thing rather than a part printed in blocks and glued together at the square edges. Like when making the model I would design all the parts individually and how they assemble in a semi-realistic way and then print and finish each part individually and then combine them.Your issue there is going to be in-plane registration, and large binder clips will help with that. and epoxies, jb-weld, etc. will bridge any gaps alright so I would recommend loading up the joints with an epoxy, binder clips or other clamps just to keep the blade flat, and expect to have to fix some squeeze out afterwards. It's still going to require clean up either way.In the future though if you do this, make sure you add pegs/registration - I think a lot of slicers have features for this already that just automatically print the pins as well. And remember that it's all going to be pretty fragile even under the best circumstances. it looks like you are already using a pvc pipe for the handle which is good. If I can get away with using something like sheet goods or pipes and then just decorate them with the printed parts that is ideal, like in this case I might have done the flat part of the blade in eva foam with some kind of armature and just had the flowy bits 3d printed.Use automotive spray paint, not like a rustoleum for the base metallic coat.
>>97555935Just think about how not-done yet you would be if you used subassemblies.Fuck subassemblies.
>>97555935Are you the guy with the crocodile goblin conversion? Similar style.Either way nice work anon.
Progress on the genestealer gang. Found some good models for my acolytes. The flaggelant in the back is going to become a neophyte test model, still need to source some lasguns.
My oil wash was smeared across my mini when I wanted to drybrush some color on top, even though the oil wash was a day old. Am I fucking retarded?
>>97556307Quite possibly, yes.Oil washes can take weeks to dry fully.
Bought a bunch of basing stuff.Only thing that annoyed me was the way the water dried. That milky shit looks more like ice than clear water. UV resin should dry clear. Going to get that shit next week.
>>97556310I see. Then I will strap on my retard helmet and go paint something else.
What's a good and reliable way to remove glue from preassembled minis?>the minis are plastic, but not the hard kind you glue with solvent glue (so PVC maybe?)>the glue looks like CA glue>the minis are assembled badly enough to bug me, so leaving them as is is not an option.
>>97556324save your money and get a 2 part epoxy and then tint it>>97556342first option is to freeze them and second is hoping ipa will dissolve some of it so you can chip it away easy likebeware of option 2 if working with finecast because those will melt in few hours
>>97556381>first option is to freeze themDidn't work, the glue stayed, the miniature broke. >second is hoping ipa will dissolve some of it so you can chip it away easy likeIpa = isopropyl alcohol, right? How long? Do I put the IPA-soaked mini in a ziploc bag overnight or what?>beware of option 2 if working with finecast because those will melt in few hoursNo finecast = no problem :^)
>>97555579'ard coat
>>97556457>Ipa = isopropyl alcohol, right? How long? Do I put the IPA-soaked mini in a ziploc bag overnight or what?its worth a try atleast and if nothing else you get them minis cleaned properly
>>97556013Indeed, glad you like it>>97556099Great callback lol and thx! And yeah fuck um>>97556254Not mee
>>97556457>Ipa = isopropyl alcohol, right? Yes.>How long? Do I put the IPA-soaked mini in a ziploc bag overnight or what?I just put them in a jar and fill it with IPA until they're all submerged, then just leave it at least overnight. You should be able to snap the superglued parts apart with little force. If not, just put them back and let them soak some more. It's not going to damage your plastic anyway.I recuperated some of my old minis that way.
>>97556324and just to reiterate those water hobby products really do work if you want a thin film of something that looks like water or to play around with a large surfacefor your purposes basic epoxy with a little paint in it is all you need, you can pour it as thick as you want instead of 1mm at time and it never goes white on youyou can save those bases too with a little epoxy magic, that white might even look cool underneath in the end
I chickened out painting a V for 5th company on the shoulder pad. A transfer and drilled barrels sometime in the future maybe.
>>97556705I like the teal but it could use more orange
>>97556728back to your containment thread
>>97556705nice work paint job is very clean but the guns look a little bland compared and they kinda catch the eyealso tobacco is really expensive these days but basing your minis with it doesnt really make them seem more luxurious
>>97556324Neat. Highlands? Looking forward to seeing more.
>>97555579clear coat. varnish is for wood. go to ace hardware or home depot and tell one of the wagies there you're looking for varnish. I guarantee you that they will point you to minwax or valspar and not anything you would put on a plastic model.
>>97556705Nice scheme.
>>97556705I would probably just start over if I were you.

>>97556796it's tea. cheap and cheerful. camera really likes to get it in focus. pistols a bit bland for sure. using a purple blue when the backpack exhaust is also that colour was pretty dumb.

>>97557003I don't even know why I decided to stop sperging out about primer all the time when this is the state of the thread anyway.
>>97557016it's chill most of the time unless some fucking sperg decides he needs to have his daily meltdown here
>>97556852Lol... Lmfao .. I think this anon isn't even joking
>>97556958while i appreciate the woodwork and quaility of your minis i have to say those bases are just plain weirdthey look too real unpainted and break the immersion unless that was your whole thing not the wooden boxes anon here btw
How'd the red hair look? I was trying to get bright ginger hair.
Does anyone know of any stores like Goblin Hobbies that can do custom stamping plates?
>>97557175a laser etching company might be able to do this i guess.
>>97557175I really don't like this product as a concept.
Okay, this is probably a stupid question but - how much thinning Vallejo Mecha Color primers require? H&S instruction videos suggest at least 1:1 thinning with everything but last time I tried 1:1 thinning this primer, it resulted in it literally flowing on the surface, with air blowing it around. Then again, when I used it straight from bottle, it would quickly dry on the tip and clog the airbrush. Likewise, video on using Mecha Color paints on Vallejo own channel shows a guy using 5 drops of flown improver, 2 of thinner per 10 of primer but Vallejo own instructions on bottle suggest against adding more than 2 drops of flow improver per 10 drops of paint. I'm confused.
>>97557172The color looks nice, but the model itself looks so fucking stupid. What is this supposed to be, strips of Fruit Rollup? LMAO shit looks like hair from Jak and Daxter
>>97557209I'm glad I'm not the only person who thinks that hair sculpt is terrible.
>>97557175You can make your own in any 3D software and then print them.
>>97556918the entire world (minus bongoloids and various els) uses the terminology I am promoting. this is clearly evident just by looking at jewgle search results for various terms, for example "clear coat plastic model" gives 86m results vs "varnish plastic model" only returning 24m, or the fact that american made products that people use for clear coating models advertise themselves as clear coat and not varnish. if you are br*tish or esl I feel sorry for you, but again that's a problem you have to deal with yourself. I am strictly talking to americans here. using the wrong terminology just makes you sound like a xenophile, like saying "petrol" instead of gasoline.
>>97557247just shut the fuck up, nobody cares
>>97557207Grey Mecha primer made me go back to rattle cans, no clean up, no setting up, no screwing around with rationsSpray and forget
>>97557175Without double checking, what I think I remember is that you have to use their special paint for it. But this was pretty god damn cool to watch:https://youtu.be/sht8ssrULu0?t=361
>>97557175look up a local company that makes tombstonesthey have a cutter for that sort of thing you just have to find the material and give them the high resolution files on usb stickim sure they will make 1x1 meter sheet of transfers for you for a few bucks in their coffee break if you ask nice enoughgood luck anon
>>97557253Except that for spraycan I would need to go outside and now it's well below zero. I bought airbrush precisely so I won't be limited by weather and temperature outside.
>>97557267> I would need to go outside and now it's well below zero. I bought airbrush precisely so I won't be limited by weather and temperature outsidei would gladly repeat my yearly experiment on how the outside temperature has nothing to do with the primingive had minus 26-34 celcius temperatures for a week but now its only -20 so i dont even bother to do my yearly presentationits okay anon if the can is warm you will do just fine
>>97557260I have all the plates and I use a few bottles of different brand nail polish
>>97557218It's pretty shitty to paint at the very least. I don't hate it aesthetically, but it's not particularly good either.
>>97557323Yeah. GW should know better that hair isn't painted by being chunks of spaghetti, it's painted in volumes and then some allusions to strands painted in.This strikes me as GW's "We have to sculpt things for contrast paints" phase - which they are still in.
>>97557200 Why? I find it a much better alternative to transfers
>>97557320>the problem with using cans outside in the freezing cold is how it affects the paintthe worst part is being outside in the freezing fucking cold. i could put on a heavy jacket and boots, or i could flip the switch on the compressor and stay inside.
>>97557267>"With an airbrush you can prime any time you want" he said to himself, out loud.
one last update
>>97557348I chuckled.
>>97557238Yeah but im fucking STUPID and dont have a 3d printer
>>97557337well last year i went a little further and primed my models in a snowstorm and it was way under -30cthey still turned out completely fine, worst part was to take a picture where the lense was not blocked by the snow point being unless you spray in a scorching hot sunlight or with a ice cold rattlecan you will be fine this select the image that is not like the anothers captcha has really put a kibosh on my postingeverything is all fun and games until you have to spend half an hour at a random arbitrary puzzle every timeim counting 18 times now
>>97557247Kys, craftsperg.
>>97557416he's obviously just trying to start shit, don't reply
>>97557414yeah, but getting ready to rattle can outside in the freezing snow takes just as much time as an airbrush. so i don't know what the point is
>>97557377What did you think about these models overall, hobby wise?
>>97556958drill. your.barrels.
>>97557443sure why not and by all means use an airbrush if you want and if it works for youim just making fun of all those rumours about how priming works
>next he is gonna insist that futas have to have a vajayjay tucked behind their feminine balls. Sorry charlie times'a'changin either get on board or get in the ground.
>>97557453Pretty cool honestly, rather comfy to paint and easy to build. The back side is a bit boring and I kinda wish they had a couple of those head cover things you could choose from.
>>97557321Im sorry anon I cant read apparently. But glad you confirmed that I was at least correct in my memory. It would be nice if they had something you could just mix with any old acrylic color.
>>97557377>>97557500at first i thought this was some éavy metal promo pic not much to say really because there isnt anything to complain about, good job

>>97557705unfortunately any kind of positivity here is reddit
>>97557705with anime avatars and multiple replies while being unconditionally positive, which is useless.Anon was just farming attention for himself.
>>97557705
>>97557755He is positive but also does give constructive feedback some of the time.
>>97557796Rarely, and it seems to me only after other anons have already given that same advice, so it's just repetition, everything anon does smacks of attention-seeking behaviour.

>>97557842Hiding behind a veil of hollow positivity does not excuse your attention seeking faggotry. You provide nothing to the thread, an asshole pointing out the flaws in someones painting is of more use.

Weird ask outside of /3dpg/ but has anyone ever made an stl of a johnny? I've never painted a marine before because I see Space Marines as the least interesting part of 40k, but I kind of want to paint one for fun.
Anyone have a recommendation for a large brush useful for just slapping paint on? Not a flat brush because they suck ass. Ideally a good quality synthetic that won't fall to shit immediately
>>97558364Just cycle like a #3 quality brush through into that role as it stops keeping a tip properly and you get a new one.

>>97555453>>97555458Thanks!Continuing from last thread near the end there was talk about texture palettes or drybrushing palettes.Is it just a silly “Rube Goldberg hobby tool” and paper towels work fine or is it genuinely good?Anybody use one able to comment on usefulness vs paper towel?I’ve only gotten a dimple tray for easier mixes of pva glue and water a single glossy white square bathroom tile for metallic paints in accordance to the debate about whether metallic acrylics cause problems with wet palettes and a diy wet palette.
>>97558647Very nice anon.What paints and steps did you use for painting that lad?You reminded me that I need to paint a deliberately improperly assembled skeleton miniature where the arms are instead legs.Love the heart hands and I need a source.Would look for a female necromancer model and have that lad in the back of the base doing that pose.
>>97558750Thanks. I've been using artists paints like Liquitex and Golden and washes from Army Painter. I'll admit my process is pretty haphazard but I pretty much start with a dark brown base coat (burnt umber), dry brush with a brownish-yellow (burnt umber and yellow ochre) and another drybrush with an off-white (i used something called unbleached titanium). A brown wash for a gradient and layer/glaze where necessary.The skeleton is from Warlord Games, the hands are shaped to allow custom weapons (seriously a missed opportunity to have more empty handed skeleton arms). The arms are modified by gluing the hands by the fingers and carefully cutting the elbows to repose and glue them. Then I add some green stuff to add some minor details like longer fingers. The "eyes" by the way are incredibly short and thin plasticard rods (.5 mm) because making dots in the sockets wasn't working out. Hope this helps.
>>97558836Thanks!>liquitex paintsI plan to use raw umber for sand basing painting after thinning it a lot.Soft bodied acrylic raw umber. Anything I should be aware about using paints like that instead of the usual miniature painting focused acrylics?Just in case.
Is it a better stylistic choice to have tufts a slightly different colour than the static grass?Like light green grass and dark green tufts for terrain I plan to do?Just curious as I haven’t found images that answer my question.
>>97558849They're pretty similar, like you can still do the "test on skin" trick to see if it's thin enough. Soft body has a satin finish while gouaches dry matte, probably not a problem if you're going to varnish anyway.
>>97558864I plan to varnish all of my models.So it won’t be a problem unless I don’t shake my bottles enough.
>>97557916Same, and being nice is fun. And I’ll be honest it does really matter to people. If by the morning I check and see that someone replied it feels good to see a comment even if all they did was say it looks nice. They still took the time to do that and that means something.
>>97556958All this effort just for it to be somehow lazy and look like shit. What's dissapointing is your models themselves are actually fine but your laziness and inability to see things look like shit is actively hurting youDon't doubt your self critique - the reason the pistols look like shit is because they aren't drilledThe reason the tea leaves look like shit is because you went overboard, there's a reason we don't flock solid grass anymore - it looks like shitThe rock looks like shit too because it's just resting on top of the base. You have to stop and think: does this look like something I've seen in real life? Does this look like anybody else's models? If not, 99.99999% of the time you're the retard. Unless you're a YouTuber, Golden Demon winner, or Instagram famous your experimenting outside of the norms is wrong and looks like shit. >>97558853Yes but you have to mix sand or rocks into it otherwise it looks weird. Solid grass for some reason just looks like shit on miniatures.For something like this you can't use the short flock, you need a static gun and be super autistic about it. The best method to evoke long grass is to do a sand base and get tufts of varying heights and colors. A lot easier and, desu, looks a lot better unless you're doing something like Mongolians or the Scottish Highlands. Most of nature does not have shin height grass coverage at least not where battles usually take place or where armies march through.

>>97558913>>97558917Oh that’s beautiful. And thank you.I need a good Chinese vendor to buy a comical load of tufts. Any suggestions lads?Now what keywords should I punch in for something like gamer’s grass’ burned tufts and equivalents?I want to make some apocalyptic wasteland bases.
>>97558917That's awesome looking.
>>97557955>Not the usual sperg obviouslyI wouldn't be so sure
>>97557416are you blind or just retarded? the picture you posted has the company address in spain on it. for the record in america it's "matte" not "matt."
>>97558934Nta but if you get yourself a static grass applicator you can just make your own tufts. Gaming geek scenic has a video on it, you basically just make craft glue dots on parchment paper and then static grass it. Once glue is dry you shake off the excess and viola, you got yourself a hundred tufts in like an hour.
>>97559134>craftspergs bait reached USA vs EU levelJust fuck off already you dumb motherfucker, you barely participate in the hobby anyway. You're probably the one seething about that Rin poster, too.
>>97559137link?
>>97559152it's funny that you think I'm your boogeyman just because I posted something you disagree with. you're like that guy in /k/ that accuses anyone who says anything negative about the bongladeshi military of being "warriortard."
>>97558913I didn't get a drill until the reivers were nearly done. It's a fix for later.
>>97558920Can you explain wny?>>97559134Lol. Lmao. Just go back.
>>97559439artist paints use big boy pigments like cadmium which you really do not want on your skin
>>97559453>occasional 5 seconds of skin exposure to small amounts of cadmium will harm youMake sure to wear your hazmat suit when going to work tomorrow.
>>97557916Insincere positivity is not welcome in my eyes. It's an American cultural thing that most other places in the world experience as simply lying.
>>97559453That's not how it works, anon. Let's ignore that only very few people here use artist-grade acrylics (why even use them? It makes little sense). But even when you actually smoosh a little on your skin, it does nothing, because the (cadmium, cobalt, etc.) pigment is encased in the acrylic binder. I would have to look up the data, but imo the absorption rate would be less than 1%, probably very close to zero.That means that you probably shouldn't use these paints for painting on skin in large quantities (again, why even), but testing the consistency on your skin is completely fine. Now, airbrushing these without a respirator, that's when it would get fucky.
I don't use a respirator>I turn away from the cadmium to breathe
>>97559489I think you're just a miserable faggott. not an american
>>97559453Obviously just use the paints without those pigments.
>>97559522I think you'd choose the Matrix.
>>97559539and I think your life must be incredibly shit since you're automatically assuming positivity is insincere. I guess your parents did not give you enough attention when you were a child.
>>97558918>What kit are the robes on the left from?Dark commune
>>97559551I don't automatically assume that, only when someone compliments basically everyone.
>paint for a bit>2 hours gonehuh?anyway, had fun. but i dont want to sleep and go to work tomorrow.
I think I might start dipping into that massive rack of real army colours I see in my LHS. I think they are made by Vallejo? Regardless, I'm going to start painting tau in an irl army's colour scheme, anyone have recommendations? I'm not a history buff, but interested in learning.
>>97559662feldgrau (^:
>>97559639>it's insincere because I decided that on my ownreally not beating the allegations
>>97559721I'm sure he sincerely loves each and every one of our models.
>>97559743I'm pretty sure he ignored your shitty mechs so definitely not every one of them :^)
>>97557348MOLDLINES could be here. Moldlines could be anywhere.
>>97559840Wrong boogeyman, paranoia-chan.
What’s the general size of the armypainter/Vallejo/Ak dropper bottle caps?An army painter wash red dropper cap somehow cracked at the top and I need replacements.
>>97560234use some bluetack to seal the top like a real man
What are some good basing materials that can go well with most models? I have dirt, texture paste, grass tufts, and a collection of rocks I got from outside. But I don't have any of those big flat rocks I see on a lot of really good looking bases.I'm really not very good with bases and I want to get better with them It's partly a lack of imagination on my part I think.
>>97560452>But I don't have any of those big flat rocks I see on a lot of really good looking bases.Those are not rocks, but pieces of tree bark, anon. You can either find it outside, or buy some from any garden store, since nearly perfect sized pieces of bark are sold as garden covering.
I want to use some 3d printed pillars as psuedo flight stands for some jump pack units, have them jumping off them you know? Trying to figure out what to do to base underneath the pillars or for the non jump pack units in the army. Any suggestions? I don't feel like my usual sand or mud and grass would work well.
>>97560452i bought a bag of assorted cork stoppers from amazon. you can break them apart with your fingers. if you want actual rocks, you could look into small rocks for aquariums.
>>97560234Can't you just measure the cap you have? Though that said, I have a Vallejo bottle where the top popped and I've simply sealed that up with a big blob of paint. Somehow that has held up for well over a year now. As for replacements finding a cap on its own may prove troublesome, but empty bottles with caps are sold by AK, Army Painter, etc.
>>97560766I recommend AK bottles. The cap does not suffer from the cracking problem and it has that cute little spot where you can put the paint into.
>>97560467>>97560687It's slate rock isn't it? Are you better off using bark or cork?
>>97560945slate is fine but you can't drill through it if you ever need to pin a model
done with the chickens
>>97560974Wow, stunning models as usual King!
>>97561158fuck off back to your containment thread
>>97561181Excuse me?
>>97561188NTA, but I gather the new rules here as decided by 1 guy nobody likes are that we can't be positive about anything
>>97561204actually no, that's the most notorious /40kg/ shitposter it has nothing to do with the earlier meltdown
>>97561204Painfully normal for this unhinged site
>>97561210Maybe you’re the one who belongs in a containment board with this type of nonsense
>>97561158>>97561188>>97561213stay on /40kg/ thanks
don't make me tap the sign
You guys like capes?I like them but sculpting them can be a real pain
>>97561300Needs a chain to go across the chest, and maybe a banana medallion. Looks good tho
>>97559743> earlier that day> "I don't care for Gob's"
>>97561300It's not the worst attemptHave you tried the masking tape cape technique?
>>97561300Very impressive work, you truly are a craftsman.
>>97560974looking 'eavy metal/10 to me. nice job, it must be awesome to play against an army like that
>>97561343Not him but could you explain more? I'm curious.
>>97561405Somebody here keyed me into this video and it's been really handy for making shoulder capes and kama https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJ0cOFKpto4
>>97559743I think you might be autistic
>>97561475NTA but if you feel this is an insult or if you have a problem with it then you can GET THE FUCK OFF OF THIS BOARD AND THIS SITE.
>>97561486hi craftsperg>NTAnot fooling anyone
>>97561512I'm pretty sure the whole general would happily take the craft paint nazi over you at this point, he at least posts models.
>>97561600LOL
>>97561600>he still thinks its all one personjust go shovel that mule shit clean or whatever it is you claim to do all day
I don't even know which schizo is which at this point. It's just become one giant schizo megazord.

Did a little progress on my tree fella. Threw some green on just for the sake of some color due to being bored of brown.Who is craftsperg? Haven’t been here in a while and I have noticed more schizo posting and less models upon returning. A lot of accusing people of being from /40kg/ and stuff like that.
>>97562253>Maserati>Carmen HayesA gentleman of incredible tastes.
How often do you replace your nippers? I've had my Beaditives for a few years now and they definitely don't cut like butter the way they did when new. Still plenty good, but they do feel worn. Would it be worth it to get something like a godhand?
>>97562288I've been using my tamiyas sharp pointed cutters for like 2 years at this point and they still cut very well. I never tried them myself but I think I remember people here saying godhands are more suitable for gunpla plastic, whatever that means.
>>97562288I honestly believe that GodHands are overpriced memes. Sure, they cut very cleanly but other single blade nippers that cost 1/3 or less from other companies like Dspiae or Mr Hobby cut only marginally worse and are much more durable so ce they are not as sharp. Im surprised you need to replace your nippers after 2 years. I have a pair of Mr Hobby normal nippers (Mt-102 I guess?) that serve me for 10 years already and are still very good.
Unusual question but I still cannot really decide on what colors to use on my scratchbuild project I was posting here since last month. Initially I opted for rather "classic" red with black for parts under armor and white details but it sounds a bit "cliche". Alternative is to use indygo or similar shade instead of red but keep that black and white.What else would fit for veteran mechanized fighter using melee weaponry and relaying on speed?
Has anyone here kitbashed ents for Middle Earth? I want to make a Fangor force, but the GW page does not have photos of the kits, so I don't know how many extra bits they could have, or if I can just build one from scratch by using extra materials.
>>97562265I like that shade of green you chose. That model is really fun to paint. Don't worry about this stupid metathread garbage, just ignore all obvious shitposts.
>>97562183you probably believe covid was real too.
>>97562367>kitbash an Entman, just get a stick. nature already makes scale trees.
>>97555454Would Mr. Super Clear Gloss Spray damage arcylic base and decals or is it just for Lacquer paints? Will it damage the plastic or resin bits?
not exactly wip I think im done. some weird spots from varnishing I think but fuck it. worst model I ever bought no risk. sorry the photo came out so shit.
>>97562367There’s two head options iirc and then a bit of poseability. A lot of the smaller branches are their own bits you glue on as well. And you have options to make the ent look like he’s hurling a stone etc.
>>97562288never. you can sharpen them if needed, but if you're using a knife and sandpaper for proper cleanup who really needs fancy nippers just to get stuff off the sprue?
>>97562265Lookin' good. Interested where you go with it!Ignore the shizo posting and responses, it's an endless cycle of whinging.>>97562367>>97562794That's essentially what I did here.
I am going to resume work on this. Add some pouches and stuff. I might lop of a hand for a sword. I dont think I captured the art but its my first time trying stuff.
>>97562934I don't know if you're looking for critique at all, but yours has a lot more orange in it than your reference.
>>97562920Those are great anon. I think I seen one a couple threads back and it inspired me to paint mine. I’m not doing anything too crazy with it, it’s more like a warm up model to shake off the rust from not painting for a couple years.
>>97562920neat
>>97562937nta but I've always assumed posting here means you're open to criticism and/or advice
>>97562976Oh no, critique is shamed here.
>>97563014so is positivity, it looks like we're in quite a pickle
>>97563026You wouldn't be pickled if you'd wash your vagina.
>>97562253Holy shit coomers are disgusting
I finished this guy a few weeks ago but I'm thinking his base might need something, maybe like some grass or something? Any ideas?
>Start putting together my Cursed City box>Start with Captain Halgrim>End up bending literally every at-risk part on the modelThe sword was already bent in box, but I ended up seriously bending the halberd and even the grip on his dagger. Far from the first time I've done something like this too. Anyone else suffer from ham hands when putting models together?
>>97558913>All of that effort>your laziness>effort>lazinessYou do not proof read, do you? That is by itself going outside the norms ironically enough.
Finally got round to those back legs. Decided to go full red. Rushed the fuck out of the main trim so please excuse the spill.
>>97558260>Weird ask outside of /3dpg/ but has anyone ever made an stl of a johnny?I have a couple of them:aHR0cHM6Ly9tZWdhLm56L2ZpbGUvUEVKaURZQVQjT2tIUVhxMTVXd2ZLdEs5SUdTZnhJMlFOWUNFYmRKbUstX1o2czJmSVdnMA==aHR0cHM6Ly9tZWdhLm56L2ZpbGUvMkFvR1ZZSVojMFhwVTdYQTdxRjlEWExxSHp2Qmd2eW1maWV0MFVfNVdsZklIdm1uTjgxTQ==My last attempt at recasting went pretty well, but I gave away my last one some time ago and have not made any more since. The hard part now is sourcing appropriate plastic backpacks.
Today I taught myself how to kitbash stls in blender. I feel fucking magic. Gonna have so much fun with this.
Cultist-chan kitbash. Used the body of the female chaos cultist with the mechanical arm. I carved out the mechanical parts, shaved off the shirt, and opened the skirt to reveal the panties. Swapped the left arm for a witch elf one, and the banner pole is made from spare sister of battle simulacrum parts. The head is from Wargame Exclusive. She'll give some liquid green stuff to add details and hide seems. She'll be tournament legal too which was the goal.
>>97563712any tips for recasting metal? I've tried a few times but its never turned out very well.>have metal servitors from the Daemon/Witch hunters era>want a bunch of them
Tiny update.
>>97563788Check out Robert Tolone's videos on Youtube.Use a silicone that is rated for higher temperatures. The blue stuff in this picture, Micro-Mark's 1-to-1, is not tough enough to withstand the heat.Heat up your molds before you use them.Dust your molds before you use them.Cut vents when things don't fill up right.
>>97563712>The hard part now is sourcing appropriate plastic backpacksThe appropriate backpack has been scanned, I believe, it's merely a matter of printing it.Shame there's no actual johnny scan of adequate quality, only the digital remake and low detail one.
Made a rock perch for my lammasu, think it turned out pretty good.
>>97563875God damn phone posting. Made it with a core of miliput on a brass rod, then put some green stuff on it and pressed some rocks into it to give it the right texture.
>>97563875>>97563882I think the lammasu itself is turning out pretty well, was a bitch to fit together. Lots of mold lines and pieces just not fitting right.
>>97563875>Greenstuff is getting discontinued forever>Scalpers and stores already inflating the price>Several sculptors already in panic mode>even the expired stuff is becoming a rare commodityIt's really nice that you're using precious GS to make big blobby rocks, I hope you have a very good day and nothing bad happens to you.
>>97563891avies and milliput will still be around
>>97563860what metal are you using? I'm surprised that silicone molds work at all. I thought you would have to use foundry sand or a lost wax method.
>>97563891>It's really nice that you're using precious GS to make big blobby rocks, I hope you have a very good day and nothing bad happens to you.I used some old ribbon greenstuff that needs to be used anyway given that stuff has a limited lifespan. I got a few tubes of it in my freezer for when I actually need it. And like I said, the main core is milliput, the greenstuff is just a thin outer layer.
>>97563939pewter has a melting point around 400-450f depending on composition, easy enough to reach in your kitchen oven.>>97563860thanks anon, will take all into account next attempt>>97563891I'm like 99% sure GW will step up and produce it with a big gap in the market. they already make their Liquid Green Stuff so it wouldn't be much of a leap.
>>97563958I see I was thinking about brass or aluminum when I heard metal casting
>>97563966Nah, the whole point of pewter is that you can melt it with a blow torch and use soft molds.
>>97563712Mega? >>97562253No Diamond Jackson? No Maserati? No Vanessa Blue? Young blood missing some greats
>>97563853Those better be pubes peeking out, anon
>>97563983the full list is far, far longer but i didn't want to spam
>>97564026Sadly it's just part of the skin I didn't paint properly.
What is happening here? This place has gone into total turmoil lately.
>>97564174One guy has been driving 40kg and now wip nuts. That's basically the whole story. 40kg is generally bad but if you go over there the past couple of days it's also even more of a disaster than usual.
>>97564183I wonder if it’s perrynigger. He’s been back for the last two days shitting up /wfg/ and /aosg/. I wonder if he also targets 40k and WIP. Him posting the porn shit would correlate to his pornographic posts in /wfg/. Genuinely if we had even 1 mod this could all be ended.
>>97564193he tried to shit up 40kg with some t-sports meme but kept getting banned and gave up
>>97564210Well that’s good. But it would still be nice to have moderation that is online more often than once every 4-5 days as it seems. Reporting him constantly and he’s constantly breaking board rules but his shit stays up.
>>97564213A mod/janny would need to be on this board 24/7 to keep up with all the shitposters and their ban evading. They should've increased the delay when posting from a new device instead of shortening it.
>>97563853is this the ass crust guy?
>>97563775Looking good so far.What do you plan to field her as?
>>97564233I think it was having too much of a detriment to what I understand is already a dwindling user base. The 15 minute timer was so rediculous and half the time it would just restart for no reason after you waited the thing out. I cant count how many posts I just canceled cause I couldnt be bothered.
>>97564193some faggots from /40kg/ apparently migrated here because of their resident autistic shitposter which would also explain why the quality dropped
>>97564551none of the modelposters leaving were shitpostersbut nice try blaming everything on a scapegoat
>>97564565you definitely don't seem like a sperg at all.
>>97561694that's rad!
>>97564569irony's lost on you I guess
>>97564565theres been a visible increase in shitposting lately which very much coincides with the drama in your shithole thread
>>97564578It started before the exodus but nice try
>>97564574not sure you know what irony means.
>>97564581It's definitely lost on you
>>97564551>>97564569>>97564578>>97564581>It's all their problem>Not us, our shitstirring we're doing in these posts is upstanding and respectable Have a mass (you)NTA either before you pull out that cope Don't bother replying, you're getting nothing else from me
>>97562860Very low depth of field in your picture, so kinda hard to see. I like the bases, they're effective. Paint job seems a bit dark.
>>97564593Someone feels called out.
>>97564593Even your cringe way of arguing wasn't here until recently. And yes you will reply to this because I recognize which sperg from 40kg you are
>>97564593the shitposters HATED this one
>>97564611NTA, but I'm getting pretty sick of this "I know who you are" shit.No you don't, you've taken all the arguing in this thread and turned it into one or two imaginary people in your mind. Everyone's craftsperg or nude nazi mech guy or whomever else you people make up.What happened to not feeding the trolls? The average age here is in the 30's, grow the fuck up and post some models or C&C others.
>>97564667the fact that they're 30 and still posting on a thread they don't participate in tells you all you need to knowthey're not mentally sound, they have to constantly invent new lolcows to hound to convince their aging brain that they're not wasting their lives shitposting on a dead website for 10+ years
>>97564667nta but you obviously don't understand how generals work.
>>97563891>Greenstuff is getting discontinued foreverWhat? When this was announced and why?
>>97564667It's been proven multiple times on this website that its VERY common for a small number of posters in a general to do most of the shitposting. Even here not long ago one sperg admitted to making multiple recurring shitposts. Theres really not that many people on /tg/, we're not /v/ or /pol/ with thousands of unique posters. Anyway let's just drop it, you're definitely right about the ignoring the shitposters part
>>97564733I was referring to a shitposter in aosg, fucking phoneposting
>>97564696Anything to ignore the fact that you have no clue who you're talking to, huh schizo
>>97564707the company that made it closed the factorysylmasta is going to replicate it with their own formula tho>https://sylcreate.com/green-stuff-modelling-putty-update-supply-issues-and-future-plans/meanwhile use tamiyas or milliput
>>97564733>It's been proven multiple timesI've personally been accused of being this or that sperg several times in discussions and I very much doubt I'm alone in that.
>>97564825Interesting. I've been in this general for 3 years and I was never accused of being one of the spergs, I wonder why that is? Have you tried, you know, not shitposting?
>>97558917Nice grass variation, makes it look more realistic, if you had an animal on it it would look alive.
>>97563247My Halgrim was broken up from sprues shifting around during transport. First time I ever contacted GW and asked for a replacement from a product I bought from their online store for premium price. I was told no replacements were available and I was shit out of luck.
>>97564876It's been in response to people disagreeing with me in a discussion, not shitposting. Either way, my point stands. People create scapegoat personas.
>reee shitposter reeeeREPORTIGNOREPOST MINISDRILL UR BARRELS

>>97565221They are too small to drill :(Working on bases, might go back to fix some stuff on them later
>>97565348>They are too small to drill :(no such thing
>>97565348How small? Also, you know, you can take a piece of plastic, drill it all the way with your intended inner barrel diameter and then drill from one side to about half the distance with barrel outside diameter, then use it as a guide. That way, you will drill exactly at the middle.
>>97565367>>97565368ok, maybe not too small, but it doesn't look like it would be worth the effort with how thin the barrels arelike third of a toothpick's thickness maybe
>>97563939sand casting has an extremely noticeable surface texture, it would delete all detail on the mini.
>>97565381In my experience, the tiny barrels are the ones that look the best when drilled.
