 Painted up an inquisitor Greyfax that I'm happy with except her face. I think I'll paint a bunch of catachans next to practice me some skin. Frobbe fucked around with this message at 21:13 on Dec 11, 2017 |

She looks good, nice work. I think a little more contrast on the skin would improve the face? I've fixed your link so she's not tiny.

If not, I'll just bring it to Adepticon and see if they can figure out what's going on there. That's fair. A 105 is 3x times that, I wonder if it typically lasts longer than a Master brush, I thought the seals on those typically died pretty quick and you had to replace the brush. I do have quick disconnects on my hose and both my brushes, makes it extremely easy when I'm working on a new model to swap from basecoating to highlights and shading (which I do with a Krome Renegade).

Booley and Electric Hobo are right, the face does look a bit flat. My suggestions: Do a thin black line around the eye to set it apart from the rest of the face and give the appearance of eyelashes. (I'd also suggest expanding the pupil for a more natural look.) You might also consider putting a small amount of thinned Reikland Fleshshade in the areas where shadows would fall, like around the eye, under the jaw, the sides of the nose, and especially on the lips. The metal and cloth are aces, though. Nice work! e.: Also, thanks for reminding me, I've got a Greyfax that I keep meaning to convert to a "fantasy" style for the steampunk chronomancer band I'm very slowly building for Frostgrave.

Pendent posted:Wow, that looks great. It's really by Mantic? I haven't much liked their model range historically. Shadin posted:That owns. How has Mantic's sculpts progressed? They used to advertise something like that but in real life it looked more like this: There was a few dudes who were curious about a star saga figure, specifically about the quality of the mini compared to the art, and my copy of the base game just came today so I figured I'd take a pic:  I can take a clearer pic with natural lighting tomorrow if need be, but it should be pretty obvious that it's a good sculpt. He's a part of the kickstarter exclusive characters; from my experience with Kingdom Death and Ghostbusters that means they'll either be rarer than hens teeth or cheaper than the retail box.

Does anyone have any experience or advice with poseable flight bases? The husband got me a 1:200 (I think) 3d printed Polikarpov Po-2 for my Bolt Action Russian list, and I don't want to stick the plane on the static flight base if I don't have to. (Because gently caress yeah, Nachthexen.) Any recommendations?

(Because gently caress yeah, Nachthexen.) One option is a ring magnet and ball bearing. Mount the former to the plane and the latter to the end of the flight stand, you can swivel around at will. Its what most x-wing people do who magnetize their bases.

Is there someone I can ship models to and have them painted in exchange for american dollars? I like moving the mans around the table, but my hands shake like Michael J Fox with DTs.

Deviant posted:Is there someone I can ship models to and have them painted in exchange for american dollars? Getting stuff commissioned is pretty expensive. Something to consider is a cheap airbrush setup. Basecoat then drybrush, wash and be done. Shaky hands won't matter and you'll have presentable stuff (albeit in a solid color) for far less than it would cost you to have someone paint your stuff. Unless you really want a nicely painted army, but expect to shell out a fair bit of cash (den of imagination for example charges like 8-12 bucks per model).

I also highly recommend MiG Masking Putty, that poo poo is amazing and gives cleaner edges than liquid mask: http://www.migjimenez.com/en/accessories/524-camouflage-masking-putty.html They definitely both have their place for me, here's an example of using the putty:      Works for all kinds of shapes. Not pictured is how I used it to mask the canopy to prime and paint the frame but leave the glass untouched. Zuul the Cat posted:Kitbashed up a Khorne Lord on Juggernaut for my bloodbound force.

Hoping if I can solicit your goon thoughts on how to paint the witchblade here (model about 80% complete, need to fix blending and touchups, and finish eyes/gems). I could go red as with the gems, but I'm not sure that's not going to drown out the model or look to Christmas-y. Purple or Blue perhaps?

I may have made a mistake, so I got a badger 105 airbrush to replace the crappy amazon special which broke, except the hose has what looks like a 1/4 input when the cheapo compressor I have has what I am guessing is a 1/8th output. I don't want to just go and order things willy nilly in an attempt to fix it, does anyone have any suggestions?

Badger uses a different size, I got a quick disconnect for the hose and the matching adapter for the airbrush.

I have one on my Sotar that matches the quick-disconnect fitting that came with my Master compressor, works just fine. Badger also has excellent customer service, if you need help selecting an adapter.

So, not really a painting question, but I'm not sure where else to ask: I'm looking for a miniature (28mm scale) to represent a male Dragonborn Druid with a staff. I've been hunting around like a maniac, but can't find much that doesn't stray too heavily into lizardman. Can someone help me find something better, that isn't the lifeless husk that is Heroforge? For reference, this is so far my best choice, which is only about 8% dragon:

Especially at 28mm? Loads of the official D&D art has some very lizard looking dragonborn characters.

A bit on the primitive side, but possibly ShadowSea's Draconid Shaman. Mantic's Kings of War has some lizardy/dragony dudes although none specifically with a staff.

It's been a couple weeks but I finally busted out my Macromat and got a few pictures of what I've been painting. A Techmarine - fun to convert, fun to paint:     20 State Troops - painting masses of dudes is way easier when they don't have bling hanging everywhere:      Arcane Ruins - this set is easy to assemble but ugh there's so many gaps to fill and they're really awful. After gap filling and sanding it looks okay:
