The only thing that has made me even close to consider Infinity are the military werewolves; might pick one up just to paint.

I bought some when a friend said he was getting into it. Non-heroic scaled minis are a real ball ache when you’re getting used to painting them for the first time

After painting a bunch of Infinity models the last year or so, I really dislike the goofy proportions of things like Space Marines now. It took a little getting used to in regards to painting techniques but I’m definitely a convert now.

I surprised myself at how quickly Padme and her crew came together. I had been daunted by them for a while but when I got to it, they went quickly and were fun. I'd like the gradient on one of the handmaiden's robes to be smoother, but so it goes. Now I just need to paint four more models to be all caught up ahead of the next wave of releases.

I think I mentioned I'd messed up my motivation by trying to batch paint some models.. the other week I'd managed 2 at once but 3 messed me up.. Anyway I'm very nearly finished these 3 but I painted a skull in this guys canopy and I wanted to share it.

Virtual Russian posted:I just browsed the line and I see what you mean! I'm not in the market for a new game, but those minis look great. I never cared for scifi stuff, but both the Infinity models and game are so good I have 4 armies and still buy mini's from other factions just to paint.

Gravitas Shortfall posted:pin wash advice mooshiga posted:Feedback SiKboy posted:Cheat mode for squiggles to represent writing; Thank you so much everyone! I got it finished today. I had a lot of trouble with trying to get the Vallejo umber wash I had (closest to sepia I could find) to not coffee stain, but that's definitely user error and not a fault of the advice. I liked the pin washing, I had to go and touch up some oopsies and I might do it with a dark brown next time but it was a good call! The fine liner pen idea was perfect! I used a .3 mm fineline Pigma Micron and it was so easy. Thank you! I did end up adding some blue grey shading but it didnt end up sticking out too much, but in softer lighting you can definitely see it. Something I'm going to have to work on getting good blends out of in the future. The sun's out so the pictures are a little skewed, but here's the final result. I'd really appreciate any feedback about what I can improve on, or stuff that would still be reasonable to come back to and get better. I'm not super happy with the static grass but I'll work on that as I go

If you watered down that blue for the cloak I bet you could make a great shade. I’m a big fan of blue-whites, it reminds me of snow

Is that something I can realistically use as a shade?

I honestly don’t have too much experience with Contrasts, however my initial thoughts are that you could water it down a bit, shade, then rebase the white feathers where needed? Anyone else have more experience with Contrasts? I have mostly just used them to finish colors the way some yt artists do

You want to thin Contrasts with the Contrast medium, ideally. Water can do it but the performance will not be the same. Same reason you don't want to put Contrasts on a wet palette.

there's so much about that that's frustrating but the gradient on the window and the simple highlight is probably the worst (best) part

Personally I hate the amazing looking rust- what game are all these little penny cars for? I’d like to see some battle scenes. I gave away my little tank to a student who was leaving for back home. He was always checking out my work and I thought it would be a nice gift, along with a book. If I do end up collecting Epic I think I’d rather go with Emperor’s Children, just to do something different

Got 2 guys finished  Skull canopy guy!   Guy who loves the Hart Foundation! Just 2 more guys til this squad is done, these are from the boarding patrol I cluelessly bought in july and accidentally forced myself down the rabbit hole of PAINTS, so I'm pretty excited to have some of that put to bed. Thing is a baby is on the way this month and I'm now in a race against time with how slow I paint. Will he show up before I finish these lads?

Finished my Venomcrawler last night, this is definitely the biggest thing I've finished so far. Pretty happy with it but it but the immense amount of trim has turned me off Demon engines and I don't think I'll be using the Forgefiend I got, at least not for a while.     Next up is a rhino!

Be aware that this is actually making the aperture smaller so you need to compensate for this by either increasing the length of your exposure or by increasing the brightness of the light on the models. Or both. It already looks like your pics are a bit underexposed.

How much should I thin down pledge floor polish to keep it from clogging my airbrush?
|

Probably none if you're cutting it 50/50 with water, but you could also do something even easier: Make a big bucket of it and dunk your model in. You may want to use your airbrush to blow drops off, but the floor polish varnishes are self-leveling so you'll get an ultra-thin surface layer no matter what as long as you're careful to prevent it from pooling anywhere. Afterwards, if you put it on a wire cookie cooling sheet with a drip pan under it and turn it once or twice during the first hour it's drying you'll get a nice varnish coat for minimal effort (if you forget to turn it you may need to do a little cleanup on the bottom of the base). Just be sure to use tongs/nitrile gloves while turning it because that first hour is when you might leave fingerprints. I've done this with all of my minis for the past few years (sometimes multiple times between layers) and I've never had it clog up details. Pledge is out of production, but Quick Shine works just as well. It's opaque white unlike Pledge, but it dries perfectly clear. PoptartsNinja fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Feb 1, 2024 |

I got myself the new genestealers, they're a huge upgrade over the old ones, they're really nice looking minis that sell the sense of motion they should have.  I also dug up an old carnifex model from a storage box. It was the first one I got starting out in 40K, built as a godfex originally then pulled apart to make a sniperfex and banished to storage once that loadout became illegal. I wanted to fix it up, see what I could do with it.  A veteran carnifex back from the dead? I think I've head that one before...

I appreciate your rehab work on that model, but it causes me physical pain in my withered and aged form to see that kit referred to as "the old carnifex."

I'm varnishing the GW boarding action terrain, so I'd need a pretty big container to dip the pieces. It's good to know about the Quick Shine too. I have a big bottle of pledge that I've been using for the past six years, but I imagine it will run out someday.

    Finished up another of Bite the Bullet's fantastic turtles. Not my proudest paint job, but I was attempting a lot of stuff I'm not good at yet, so I've got to fail another 900 times or so and I'll be there.
