I've been getting more practice in with gloss coating, oil washes and then matte coating models with pretty great results so far. I love the vallejo liquid gold, silver, etc. line of paints, but don't know the timing on when to put it on the model. I assume gloss and matte varnishes mess with the luster, but how can I uniformly apply a wash and protect the metallic paint?

Does anyone have any tips on painting a captured vehicle? I'm thinking of getting a T-34 for my Finnish army in Bolt Action and would like to give it the look of a hasty battlefield paint job. Something like you can still see hints of the Soviet markings underneath.

My base crew for Malifaux all painted up and based, along with some traps for another character. Latigo Posse!  Close up on the rusted blade for the dude in the back  Added a makeshift cross to the leader of the crew's base at the end of the day out of some coffee stir sticks and a brown wash.  On to the traps! First I played around with some rust effects and was overall pretty happy with how it turned out.  Then I played around with GW's Blood for the Blood God paint because their technical paints are pretty spiffy, even if their pot design stinks.  Then the madness started taking over.  Then I remembered I had some googly eyes handy...

Overall, I'm quite pleased with how this objective marker turned out for Bolt Action

I've been working the overnight shift at home this week. So during the lulls I've been knocking off a bunch of projects that were hovering at 80% done for ages. Finally finished up some Blood Ravens and their bases with 100% legitimately donated relics from other chapters/races  Finished up smaller Alpharius being stabbed by Alpharius  Battle Brother Doctor Drillstab  And, the one I'm happiest to finally have finished  SETTRA

Quite pleased with how this bust turned out, I can see myself doing these for a bunch of different chapters for some fun practice with different colours.   The dude who made the stl files for this bust goes by jg_3d_printing on instagram. I messaged him and he graciously sent the files to print (I guess he had it on thingiverse for a while but it's since been removed. Also forgot to crosspost this from the 40k thread: quote:Trying to free up some painting space so I've been working on projects that are mostly done and just need to be finished up. Last night was this handsome fellow:

Thanks everyone! It was fun to do and much faster than my five man squad plus dreadnought based with a bunch of "clearly not Blood Ravens bits" stuff

I've never had great success with white primer out of an airbrush for whatever reason. But (somewhat related) using a white ink over a black or grey primed model as a zenithal highlight is buttery smooth. Inks like Daler-Rowney FW that you can get at Michael's, to be clear. No issues with white splotches after that

No. 1 Juicy Boi posted:That looks awesome! I have the following printed out that I still need to paint: Horus, Leman Russ, Ferrus Manus, Vulkan, Perturabo, Sanguinius, Lion El'jonson, Magnus, Guilliman, Rogal Dorn, Mortarion, Lorgar Thanks! It's the only one I have painted, the rest are printed staring at me from the shelf. I can't wait to see how he does Jaghatai Khan, which should be the next one as he's going by the order they were found.

Finished this (free!) 3D print of Gabriel Angelos by Artel W. I decided to have my buddy make him a smidge bigger than normal because he's the Chapter Master (and a cool dude). Also threw a fun little wink to the Very Not Heretical™ rumours about the Blood Ravens history on the base  Also had a second print done at 54ish mm as a display piece, but that one's only been base coated at this point.

Desfore posted:Oh wow, do you have a link to that? I've been eyeing the FW Gabriel for a while, but I kinda hate his face. Or, I guess more accurately, his whole head. his hairline makes his head look weirdly elongated, from the pictures. Yeah, I painted the FW one awhile ago and his head/face is weirdly janky. This was the link I used: https://spikeybits.com/2020/01/artel-w-miniatures-rolls-out-oop-sculpts-for-free-download.html Angelos is, appropriately, named Chapter Master in that bundle

Finished up this Sister of Battle last night. Tried experimenting with taking some bits of a cotton swab, soaking it in watered down white glue, and hanging it out to dry which gives you a decent smoking barrel effect. Not sure how well it shows up in the picture, but I also hit the smoke with a tiny amount of grey via airbrush to try and give it some depth.

Decided to take a break from painting one collectivized farm's worth of soviets and paint this handsome devil. Pretty pleased with how it all turned out. The bust was a stl file from a guy who goes by doses3d on various platforms.

I went HAM on Marvel United, which means I have a ton of plastic. To help motivate me to get through this backlog, I'm only going to play with painted characters. Here's the first batch of speed paints I did over the weekend. Just need to varnish them.
