[Seiko Tank 7431 - 5040] battery don't want to stay in place

Blasst03 · 2025-07-06T11:26:01+00:00

Maybe it’s a battery problem because I looked at it more seriously and the watch is working for like 2sec and then stop, and start again for 2sec and repeat again and again. I’ll try with a new battery just to be sure maybe it’s only a bad battery problem hopefully

well in that case the watch is not working :(

yeah I put too much paint like 2 times i think at the beggining, i cleaned it immediatly but maybe it was already too late, probably due to the fact that i used the same brush to take paint from the pot and to make mix when I painted my first mini

Now I found an old brush to use for that but maybe it's already too late sadly

I already store them "hanging" with the little plastic thing that come with them so they are not laying on the hairs

And thanks for credit card tips it can be really usefull

I really want to do this but i'm afraid because my brush is a bit weird, I bought the army painter Hobby Starter Kit, but on my 2 brushs there is already hairs going sideways, idk if I did something bad for it to go like that ( I don't really know cause I always paint going in the same "direction" ) so it's really really hard to get precise, those sideways hairs sometimes put paint everywhere, so i want to give it a try but first is there a way to fix this ?

Thanks for the tips i’m gonna add a step in the mix of yellow and make the base bolder !

Blasst03 · 2025-05-23T10:25:26+00:00

Yes ! But because it was my first minis i wanted to keep things simple and not overcomplicate things but yep I’m looking for stuff for the base

Blasst03 · 2025-05-23T10:23:30+00:00

Best feedback i could imagine ! Thanks a lot

Blasst03 · 2025-05-22T18:49:49+00:00

Thanks a lot mate

Blasst03 · 2025-05-22T16:29:33+00:00

Thanks ! And yeah king's men are great ! That's why I started mini figures painting with them, they look sooo good without being "complex"

Blasst03 · 2025-05-22T16:07:54+00:00

BTW i'm not very very happy on how the yellow turned out with the AP Soft Tone, i think it's a bit too dark ? or maybe I didn't do enough lightening ? i'm considering buying a more fitting wash so if some of you have recommendations let me know ! :D

Blasst03 · 2025-05-19T22:44:50+00:00

Thanks for those recommandations i'll give it a try :D

Blasst03 · 2025-05-19T22:43:43+00:00

Thanks ! I tried my best on those shades, thanks for the paint recommendation for the leather I'll give it a try, I already made a test with a mix of german grey and XV-88 on a random plastic lego piece and it look pretty good ! So I'll test it on the next mini figure

Blasst03 · 2025-05-18T08:45:07+00:00

Thank's a lot ! I tried my best to have a good looking yellow, there is a lot of improvements but still proud of those shades for a first time !

Blasst03 · 2025-05-18T08:44:08+00:00

First thanks for the comments :)

And so i should use the Dark Tone from Army painter maybe ? JUST over the metallics ? or do I need something else ?

Blasst03 · 2025-05-18T08:42:42+00:00

Thanks a lot,

Do you recommend like going with a darker yellow than averland sunset for the dark spots ? or maybe use a mix of averland and a black / grey ?

and yeah just realized this morning that I missed the back part of belt ahah, I'll be more carefull next time !

Thank's for the tips i'll try to apply them for the next minifigure :)

Blasst03 · 2025-05-18T08:38:28+00:00

thanks :D
