The more I look at the Straken pics, the metals look like poo poo in them. In real life the transitions are smoother and it looks more worn and less shiney. The lamps blow out hte highlights. Its pretty hard to photograph metal, so whatevs. Model looks better irl

So he doesn't murder you in the night.

 Click for table breakingly goodness. Test base coat for my grey knights. I wanted them to come out with a brighter blue then what is there so I may switch up my ink. I used ultramarine, but there was some other prettier brighter blue that I will try. VGC silver with the blue ink. I was going to toss some more ink in it but it really kills the metallic. Thoughts on a first go on a real model that I will have to strip? Ill post another when I get the new ink.

Right, so I've been all pro metal model all the time for a while now, but I've been putting together these Heavy Gear Arena mechs, and it is making me realize that I'm only doing it out of some deep, innate hatred of the nerve endings in my fingertips. They have wronged me, and I will kill them.

Mt. ORourke posted:Lancer + Charger Really nicely done. Personally, I'd probably go for a slightly deeper shading and shinier finish on the blue parts, what with it being armor and stuff, but it looks very nice already. It looks quite matte in the pictures, how is it in real life?

On Tuesday night my small vial of superglue exploded while fixing a Crisis Suit, and somehow the entire stream or projectile glue went straight into my right eye. I frantically flushed my eye under the kitchen sink for an hour while my buddy Google'd "superglue in eye worst case scenario". It was a rough night. Since I started flushing it with water immediately, I avoided an embarassing trip to the hospital, but it pretty sketchy for almost an entire day. This hobby sucks.

FW etched brass is a good call there. That, some vanilla terminator armor, and some appropriate head in place of the helmet would look pretty legit I bet.

WhiteOutMouse posted:I have wanted MSP to play his IG more, and this guy might do it. Hrm. Did a lot of funky things and mixes for the flesh, so I cant really post that. Metal was pig iron (boltgun), badab, vallejo red pigments+alcohol, a little bit of a blueish-black as a shade, highlighted up to mithril with sponge weathering and edge highlihts. Pants are skorne red, shaded down w black and brown, up with ivory+yellow+orange, glazed back down with some skorne red+bloodstone glazes. Base is bloodstone, plus a shitload of pigments heaped on top, alcohol washes on top to spread it out, pig iron+devlan+pigments+sponge weathering on the metals. Laser eye is meredius blue. Boots are umbral umber+ devlan + a few highlights

Baruch Obamawitz posted:I mean, normal TDA is too plain, and GK TDA is just wrong, right? I actually just did my inquisitor up in GK TDA armor. That inquisition symbol is literally everywhere on GK these days, so I just went with the pieces with the most inquisition-esque parts I could find. I reasoned that since the guy is running around with a Psycannon, he's using loaner armor specifically for when the inquisition works with the Grey Knights.

I'm really happy you're okay (I assume), but is water really a good idea for that sort of contingency? I thought water/moisture was what caused cyanoacrylate to harden.

I assume it would harden and then release from your eyeball.Ouch. Ive rubbed CA glue into my eye before and it sucked, but I just flushed it a ton and it was ok. Just irritated. I cant imagine squirting the entire bottle into my eye though

I went to the GW grand opening in Cincinnati with Turtle Dad last weekend and we started to look at the Finecast blisters. We spent about 10 minutes doing it and I don't think we found a single one that wasn't either messed up or had a buttload of flash on it. EDIT: I also got dragged into a conversation with a guy who seemed like he got sexually aroused whenever his goblins animosity'd, because he associated failed animosity tests to teenage girls fighting.

Pierzak posted:You got off lightly, when I tried to wash superglue from my skin when still liquid, it came off very easily... along with my skin, leaving exposed muscles and nerves. One of the worst ideas ever. Hope your eye's OK. What the gently caress kind of glue were you using? I get super glue on my hands all the time and it comes off fairly easily.

More importantly, what is wrong with your skin that it would tear down to the muscle, because that is a long way to tear.

Did you wash it off with a lawnmower?  Alternately, are your muscles are like 0.1mm under the outer surface of your skin?

Maybe it wasn't that serious as it seemed from my post, but I've never had my skin come off that deeply. loving painful too. As to what kind I used - one I never used again. And I've never met with such effect again, not that I tried. ^^^: Yeah. Turns out bleach is not drinkable. At least more than once.

dexefiend posted:Safety Goggles: $1.99 Yeah, I'm going to be extra careful from now on. My eye is totally fine now, I had to hold it open so it wouldn't glue shut for a few minutes as I was flushing, but as the evening went on it went from really irritated, to irritated, to embarassing and then to fine. I think I got off easy obviously. It was a tiny little bottle of superglue, the size of a AAA battery. I was holding the tip against the shoulder of a Crisis Suit applying some glue, and it stopped coming out. I gave it a little shake, and then tried to apply the glue again with a little squeeze, and sploosh it splashed off the model (since the tip was right against the model) and sprayed all over my face, mostly in my right eye. In retrospect it is funny. At least the suit looks good now. Using tweezers to pull off a line of dried-up superglue from the edge of your eyelid is an enlightening experience.

Argh gently caress I am never reading this thread again. Actually I lie. I am painting a tank blue, and my secondary colour is Vallejo old gold. It's super metallic. I'm not sure what colour to do paint scratches and damage on it - I tried to do silver as though metal showing through the paint but next to the old gold is just made it look like some kindof of bling 70s disco going across the battlefield.

Thanks PV for the color info.Baruch Obamawitz posted:So, uh, Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor in TDA: I'm basically looking at a lot of green stuff sculpting, no?  Business Gorillas posted:I went to the GW grand opening in Cincinnati with Turtle Dad last weekend and we started to look at the Finecast blisters. hosed up details is one thing but flash is not a big deal. Resin has a lot more flash than plastic, and sometimes your hands or even blowing on the mini will remove it. That's like complaining that burgerking got your sandwich order wrong and/or some sesame seeds were not all still attached to the bun. One is valid and one in unrealistic. PS: I recommend buying the busted mini then calling GW for a replacement. You keep the busted guy and they send you a new one, free of charge, until you get a satisfactory mini.
