Awesome new OPs OP :D

I finally made a bit of progress, got these painted:



I spent a lot of time converting them, so I'm really disappointed by the how blotchy the paintjob came out. I think it's mainly because I used a base colour that was too light, modelled the clothing on the arms and legs quite poorly and tried too many new things at the same time.

these are amazing! <3 tacticool marines

What model are they?

I just want to wow people.

you need to rebase, the model is 100x better than the quality of the base imo

ironically probably not high enough to think GW prices are sane and good

I want to make a REALLY cheap dry erase matt I can use for D&D purposes

I was thinking of getting contact paper, what has grids on the bit you throw away, and then simply sticking the contact paper to the grid paper

I definitely want something I can roll up when not using so probably not going to try getting a big board or something, but might try vinyl if its actually fold-able without damaging it

I want a 'big' 3x4 piece I can use for general encounters, then smaller peices for like taverns and dungeon corridors and poo poo

that's why I thought of getting contact paper, could just cut a big 3x4 piece then lots of smaller pieces, they tend to come in big wrapping paper rolls too

Contact paper has adhesive on the back, it will stick to itself if you roll it up and gather lint/dust/fur/cheetos dust if you somehow did use it. Folding or rolling rarely work: folds make creases that models wobble on, rolling tends to never lie flat (people in this thread have mentioned that new mats actually work properly now, though).

yeah Im going to stick the contact paper to something

probably just gonna get some card, draw a grad with a ruler then contact paper over the top

cost so far £1.49

ghetto as gently caress

If you're going that ghetto (drawing it by hand) go see if you can get some spare vinyl sheet from a signprinting shop. You might be able to find some odd cuttings or some misprint stuff. You could get a good deal if you're charming enough, but who am I kidding, you're a goon.

edit: I just realized you probably meant that you are probably planning to use corrugated cardboard under the contact paper... That seems like it would be a pain in the rear end to transport...

I am in fact, very charming and used to work for a silk screen printing press, so might try this

thanks

Here's my attempt at doing a gold statue effect. It actually looks better better in person I think, but im having trouble taking pictures because its so shiny, and I only have my iphone camera + a single desk lamp.




All I did was boltgun metal prime, ink GW sepia wash, drybrush Vallejo 70996 Gold

The third picture is probably the best representation of what it looks like IRL

Any advice to improve it??
