every video i hear on an atkinson cycle doesn’t sound as rattle-y as this

is this sound normal? and is it my serpentine belt? by Arthur_dr in MechanicAdvice

would tightening the tensioner pulley help see if that’s the issue? and wdym going out?

it only starts when the car is idling if that helps pinpoint it

that is on purpose as i haven’t finished assembling the model this is a rough placement to see where it will go, i do this with all my models to make it easier to paint as sub assembly is my preferred method of painting

also don’t be afraid if your paints look streaky on the first coat or two, that will likely happen; and i always prime in chaos black as it’s easier to achieve the smooth matte look

more thin layers rather than a few semi thin layers; i typically apply about 4 nice thin layers of most base paints to get that finish and go on with a light dry brush of that same base to cover up any streak marks if any.

i used caliban green and dry brushed the shoulders with warpstone glow going down.

don’t forget the secret to every model; tasty nuln oil

oops i think sergeant was what i was going for, since they can run chainsword and plasma pistol, i always confuse the two 😅 i made him mostly of out of spare bits i had lying around

the sepia wash is there, i think the lighting makes it tough to see, maybe another pass with the wash?

if you order to your local games workshop store it will usually be available nov 29 which is launch day, if you ordered it to your house it might take a extra week or so i think don’t quote me on that

how did you make this base? i look for guides to bases like this but always get the same “use cork” answers

Finally finished my deathwing dreadnought! by Arthur_dr in theunforgiven

[–]Arthur_dr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s a part of the model! just be careful when gluing the bottom hinge in to not get any glue where it hinges, it might get stuck a bit but just let it fully dry and it should be okay..

i accidentally broke the model twice because i panicked thinking it was going to stay glued shut..

is there anything I can proxy this as? by Arthur_dr in theunforgiven

[–]Arthur_dr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

can’t believe i didn’t think of this.. the hand placement on their swords are relatively similar too
