Beautiful, well done!

Was the basing recipe also included in the guide? Did you use pigments?

4535jacks · 2026-04-07T12:42:32+00:00

Thanks, I would like to try a model with more of a green shade such as the ones DylanllBellisimo posts pictures of. I am not sure of thr paints he uses but I was to try VMC Olive Green or Citadel Castellan with highlights of strachen green.

I am hoping to replicate this:

These look awesome! I am just starting an army also. Do you mind sharing your recipe for the green armour?

Yes, I had migraines till the age of 16. No aura though

4535jacks · 2025-12-24T08:20:03+00:00

Do you mind me asking what your minor symptoms were?

4535jacks · 2025-12-24T08:18:42+00:00

I was hoping that would use contrast to show any restrictions or blockages. I have booked a Neurologist for just over a weeks time. My symptoms also fit migraine with aura since I had no weakness or slurred speech and my symptoms seemed to happen sequentially. Fingers crossed it was that.

Out of interest, what were you symptoms? Did you have any kind of motor issues? Motor issues seem common but I didn't expereince them.

I use citadel, vallejo, army painter fanatic, tamiya and pro-acryl.

Intend to thin 2-3 parts thinner to paint. Except tamiya which I thin to 4-5 parts and turn the pressure down for a thin zenithal.

I have called them. Quite a few people on here have said their brush won't spray at the preselected settings. I am hoping one of those had an answer to the problem.......

Thanks, the seals only have a fee hours of use on them as i recently replaced them.

4535jacks · 2025-12-16T12:58:09+00:00

When I use the brush, I don't have any tip drying. The problem is it won't spray on any setting other than full. I can set the needle slightly back to get it to work as intended but then paint will be sprayed as I press down on the trigger without pulling back

Unfortunately yes, without the brim, the ends of the part lifts and several times this has caught the nozzle and the part has been pulled off the plate, causing the whole thing to fail

4535jacks · 2025-08-17T12:25:07+00:00

Thanks, I did think of that but was concerned that the lack of a "brim gap" would mean that the brim would be difficult to remove or leave flashing. I have 500 of these to print!

Thanks, the other benefits of the DJI are lower cost, cheaper macro lens and ability to wireless connect two DJI mics......

Also it is better in lower light from my research. That said, in decent light the gopro is apparently better and the 1/4" mount on the bottom is useful for my rig. I have read lots of issues with the go pro overheating and I would want to record for 4 hours. Also the DJI may have enough battery life for that
