Confirming that Bones are awesome and I want more and more of them. Granted I'm still not interested in 99% of the sculpts (what am I going to do with a dwarf cleric?) but since Reaper doesn't come to me personally asking which models they should Bones-ify first, I'll settle for just having a ginormous catalog to choose from.

Hixson posted:When sealing my razorwing, the matte varnish gave the clear plastic canopy a nice hazy finish. Will going back over it with a gloss varnish or 'ard coat or something clear it up? Never looked at the new GW kits but speaking as some one who builds historical aircraft kits it's probably hosed. It seems like many people are finding canopies hard. It should really be the last thing you add after finishing the main model with final varnish coat and then glued with PVA or ideally specialist none fogging glue. (Not super glue.) But I could be wrong with this one and a shot of gloss varnish is your best next step.

TheCosmicMuffet posted:Reaper was casting accurate, reasonably high quality miniatures when GW was still making lead bricks that didn't fit together right as tanks and charging twice as much. I'd take a lovely reaper plastic, sight unseen over a GW anything, and the only thing I'd think twice about is that sometimes GW sculpts are way way way better than reaper ones. Every single Cosmic Muffet post is a treasure and should be preserved for future generations.  Also I just found out Zombicide is selling for a hilarious amount on Ebay, so I'm gonna hock my copy there instead and buy a couple Bones sets if it sells for more than 200.

Cross Postin' like a boss: Guys, I did a thing. Oh man. Ok. So, I painted up the Thagrosh2 I've had around since MkII dropped. The airbrush finally let me just basecoat like I could sneeze color onto him. This and dipping has made me less fearful about tackling the vast queue of minis I have in my house. So, I painted him:   and I was all "neat, he looks pretty bad rear end, maybe I should do Legion next!" I didn't Oath Thagrosh2, though. I painted that mini so I could paint these for you.  Yeah, dat draconic rear end. WAIT I MEAN So, I finished them, and they didn't feel "done," you know? I...I...   Oh God oh God oh God  So yeah, OATH COMPLETE! BUT AT WHAT COST?! Also, I think I'll enter them all as a battlegroup for PP's painting competition just for laughs.

Speaking of super-glue frosting, is there anything I can soak a (metal) model in that will get it off?

http://www.supergluecorp.com/removingsuperglue.html Acetone will dissolve some plastics, but not others. I don't know whether GW plastics are acetone safe. Resin probably isn't. Petrol, kerosene, and acetone are nonpolar organic molecules, if acetone dissolves superglue, the chances are kerosene and gas will too. http://www.ridoutplastics.com/faq.html#Sticker The recommendation, here, more or less is to use refined kerosene (lighter fluid) to dissolve the gunk off plastic. Presumably there is a concentration at which your plastic will be screwed, and a concentration at which it will be fine. Some manufacturers of plastics use acetone bathes to polish the plastic components they're making. That implies that you could get the crap off, and, if careful and not too forceful, still have a reasonably clear surface. That's all for the benefit of the other people who were asking. Metal, obviously, will be fine.

Crossposting from the 40K thread with some Plaguebearer models from the new kit:   The intestine colors got bleached at bit in color correction, they look much more red in person. I'm pretty damned pleased with myself with the results, especially since they were incredibly simple to paint (the whole lot took about 5 hours).

This is as good a place as any to ask: So, for anyone that has gotten in on the Reaper Bones kickstarter, I have a story and a question. First, the story--I do not have $100.00 to spend on a fuckload of awesome miniatures, as much as I'd love to do so. What I do have is $10.00 laying about. So, my question is this: if anyone wants to let me send them  , I'd love a pair of those fire giants. I'll also chip in the price for a flat-rate box or something!If anyone is feeling generous, please PM me or shoot me an e-mail at SASole.Sushi @ gmail dot com.

The options thing was a little confusing to me, but it sounds like you don't actually pick the options now. You pledge all the money (i.e. pick your pledge level, and add on the amount needed to cover your options) and later, when the whole thing is over, they'll send out a survey or something where you decide what options you want.

Captain Invictus posted:Every single Cosmic Muffet post is a treasure and should be preserved for future generations. Is there a large number of people buying Bones sets here?

The Reaper figures are going to be commercially available at some point so don't panic if you can't do the hundred dollar level or only want a few particular models.

But if people only want a particular few models, it's pretty dumb to pre-order the whole set. Reaper is being pretty smart about this thing, I've gotta say. They're taking advantage of the natural mini hobbyist tendency to covet and hoard a bunch of models they will never actually do anything with.

That's a nice everything you have there, everyone. I'm not dead yet. Trying out a 1/72 scale. 25mm high. Working with measurements to a new scale I've come to note that I've had considerable scale creep on the heads of my figures. They're HUGE. I want to do another 1/64 and I want to do also a 1/35. I've started on them but not anything to show yet.   Trooper #1 gets a tab. #2 is on the way.  I am working more on my illustration. Another sneak preview(please note that it's a work in progress):

Hey Hellbeard, your sculpting is looking pretty sweet. Why did you decide to go smaller scale though, that seems the the size would make it a lot more frustrating to work on. Also, have some gators:

I just want to try it out and see how it goes. I'm also working on a "regular" 1/64 guy and I've started on a 1/35 guy. It's really helped me break my sculptors block; no pun intended.

Cross Post from oath thread, interested in ya'lls opinions. One down, I wanted to paint up the 40pt guy before I get into more important guys.   Link to Bigger if you want: He is my test for the scheme. I think I like it. The hammers are green to better go with his blue armor, and to differentiate from the Nemesis Force weapons the GK use.

Maybe the bits thread could be just a general bits and conversion pieces thread? With links to different base/conversion bits sellers. That could be too Painting/Modelling Thread, though.
