I started with this mini because I liked his details and personality. I'm real happy with it! i've been learning to control the speed painters paint better. (i intend to get away from speed painters paint)



I still need to give him a little base. I've been experimenting with basing with some mixed success




besides, a snowy environment doesn't really fit him.

My first mini! I spent way more time on him than remotely makes sense for a basic infantry guy, but it's a learning experience, and dammit he looks cool to me. :toot:

That looks fresh! I like the eyes. Those are very hard for me.

I have this monk figure and I wanna put him on this arm, like he's balancing on a golden Buddha statue. But I wanna make the have clouds like the statue is high on a mountain or something. I'm not sure how to get that across. Definitely biting off more than I can chew.

If you have an idea, try sketching it out. It can help you figure out how/where you're going to anchor things.



So, based on your description (golden arm and clouds) this probably doesn't need to actually be super tall. The arm just needs to be a bit above the base. You just need something to prop up the arm, so some spirals of green stuff that are offset towards the area where the arm's been cut off and leaving most of the arm unsupported is probably roughly what you want.

When you go to position / glue down the monk, try dipping his lower half in hot / boiled (but not boiling) water. Get his feet nice and soft, then glue them down and you can bend them a bit to conform to the arm, which might help make them look less flat.

I couldn't find good cloud advice for minis but this is super useful and what I was thinking! I've used hot water to try and get a mini looser to pose.

How cold is too cold to spray? None of the stores nearby sell paint on primer.

I'm annoyed because I want to buy vellajo paints but their website is broken and my local store doesn't have sets

I'm thinking of ordering this vallejo set even though they're small bottles.
https://acrylicosvallejo.com/en/product/hobby/sets/cases/basic-starter-case-80260/
and working my way through them. This seems to be a good "bang for buck" at 70 bucks. they are the same as the regular vallejo paints, right?

i do not like the head on this body, it looks out of place. it looks like the underwire for the helmet they should be wearing. it's very well done tho.

The gold skull is a very neat idea. Might have to steal that at some point.

Death stranding is cool as hell. I covered it with leaves but there's also a big ball and chain weighing him down so he can't go to heaven (I assume, I haven't read any warhammer)
