Nah, they don't like going by numbers. :P Yeah, I agree that the smaller optimas is too cool for this thread, and the bigger on is just too  for this thread (Holy cow, it really transforms! I actually kind of want this, and I don't play 40K)

I mentioned this many pages ago, but I finally visited my parents house so I took a photo. It's my converted IG super-heavy tank from high school. As you can see it's just a 1/48 scale T-72 with a whole bunch of IG parts glued on. I never finished painting it.

Jesus loving Christi, the "vertical piece of tracks on the front" crowd is the worst, and it usually happens with the expensive models, too, so you know they're doubly stupid.

spectralent posted:I put mine on badly when I was a kid, but that was because I was dumb and didn't dry-fit stuff first. I think being a dumb kid is a huge part of it. When I was first getting into miniatures, I didn't really know any adults who were involved and spent most of my time with other kids around my age. At the FLGS, it was almost all middle and high school kids playing 40k and a handful of older guys who didn't want to drive downtown just to get a game in, but in retrospect they were weird (seriously, there was a guy in his 20s who wore a leather trenchcoat and bragged about his 16 year old girlfriend and how he was buddies with her mom). But the people I was regularly interacting with didn't have the greatest pool of knowledge and no one really knew what they were doing. You had the odd kid who was really loving good at painting and modeling for some reason, but he couldn't explain to anyone how he did what he did. There was another friend I had who blew me away when he grabbed a spare heavy bolter sponson, glued it to a marine, and then stuck on a section of a bracelet as an ammo feed to make a cheap devastator. I would never have dreamed of converting my own units before that. Basically, it took a long time to learn how to do this stuff properly, from basic assembling technique like filing mold lines and gap filling, to more complicated conversions. I've learned way more about hobbying now that I'm an adult who games with other adults and we have enough collective experience between us that we understand how to explain techniques to each other. But it took me a decade of poorly painted models to get here. You'd think with the internet and YouTube, kids would have better resources from which to learn, but this thread is evidence that that doesn't happen as often as it should.

Yeah, I remember when I was a dumb kid just getting into the hobby people would tell me "thin your paints!" so I thinned my paints. Then after trying to paint my loving clanrats with essentially glazing on top of black primer, I got fed up because it was obviously stupid and just getting the unthinned paint worked a lot better than having to do 30 coats and it still looking like poo poo. The results were what you'd expect. It wasn't until a lot later when I got back into the hobby and youtube was already a thing that I actually looked up what consistency you should thin to, what the goals of thinning are and how to reach them, and how to utilize your brush. I still had to drudge through a lot of garbage videos where the guy basically just goes "just make a 50/50 mix" when what you get with a 50/50 mix varies with each paint, especially if you use several brands. "Thin your paints" by itself was probably the least useful advice I ever got as a dumb kid. I also remember how drybrushing was like this amazing revelation when I used it to do the teeth on my second thermagaunt. I wished I had a photo of the first one to share, but imagine someone trying to pick out gaunt teeth in skull white on black primer with an overloaded brush and probably unthinned paint too. The drybrushed teeth on the second one probably also looked like rear end but wasn't as funny.

The results were what you'd expect. Oh, man, yeah. I probably got my best paint consistencies via airbrush tutorials, since the whole "It should be like milk" thing is 100% as applicable for brush-on paints as it is airbrush paints. Endless screaming of "thin your paints" just makes you think you need it wash-level consistency and that's horrific. Plus the amount of paint your dealing onto your brush matters too even if it is thin; if you've just smothered the brush in then you're going to get massive messy blobs of stuff everywhere regardless.

Maybe easier to understand: Paint should run like a liquid on the side of something, while remaining opaque. e; or like an incline or whatever you typically use to check whether fluids are running and not just staying in a big sticky blob. spectralent fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Feb 13, 2016 |

One of my friends is like this. He spends loads on fancy new armies and then just throws the stuff out later when he's bored and decides he can't be bothered with them. Never makes any effort to let anyone know he's getting rid of stuff so we can buy it off him or donate it to a gaming club, just goes straight in the trash. Fortunately last time this happened another friend (who happens to live on the same street as him) found the stuff next day so we were able to salvage most of it. Was a bunch of Anima models (sadly some of them have missing parts due to being unceremoniously dropped), a load of Terminators, couple of Land Raiders and Dreadnoughts, and a good chunk of Silver Helms and Phoenix Guard. Easily a few hundred pounds of stuff. Said friend is also known for complaining about having no spending money. I wonder why...
