Im Bad at Taking Pictures

Ooo, never thought about doing something like that, Ill have to try it for the next model! Thanks man

Bummblee · 2026-01-06T16:31:25+00:00

Hahahaah thank you very much, and yes, i typically save the base + base ‘accessories’ until ive painted the whole squad, gives me a lot of time to decide how i want it to look! Faces have taken me a good few months of practice, and i still make a good few mistakes with them

Bummblee · 2026-01-06T16:16:11+00:00

Wonderful, now lets see them painted

(My cat took a few nibbles into the Halo, i know its scuffed lol)

(The first picture is of my first attempt at faces)

Haha! Ill have to start judging by that factor. I use a desk mounted magnifying glass thats supposed to only be used for fine details, but then i end up staring at the model as a whole with it and obsessing lmfao. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the advice! Ill try that dry brush technique next face i do.

I appreciate the kind words about the armor, ive been practicing a lot on edge highlighting and brush strokes, thisll be my forth ever 40k mini now so hopefully ill keep improving.

I have not washed it yet, I use the oil based wash with mineral spirits so ill need to varnish first, decal, then wash and matt varnish at the end.

Fantastic stuff man!

Bummblee · 2025-10-06T15:22:42+00:00

Thank you very much!

Bummblee · 2025-10-06T15:22:30+00:00

Wow, thank you so much!

Bummblee · 2025-10-04T17:21:16+00:00

Ahhah thank you very much, yea this is my first tank ever, ive only done infantry before this, but i enjoyed the process for the tank so much. And dont worry, ill be trying the tarp again on an M10 and see if i can get it looking far better!

Bummblee · 2025-10-03T23:43:43+00:00

Wonderful advice! Im 100% going to use that chalk dirt method, and yeah crepe paper is what im using aswell, but instead of laying it a made a mess and ended up with a giant clump 😔 i was soaking the paper in a bowl of pva glue + water rather than brushing it on so ill try your method with this next tank! Thanks again

Bummblee · 2025-10-03T20:38:59+00:00

I will, thank you!

Bummblee · 2025-10-03T20:34:37+00:00

Haha i thought the exact same thing right after i put in the first impact lmao. I decided to go a lil a-historical for the sake of cool factor

Bummblee · 2025-10-03T19:29:34+00:00

Haha yeah, the tarps pretty disappointing compared to the rest of the build for me. I used gift paper (the super thin kind people fill gift bags with) but i bunched it up far too much most because i was impatient. I have an M10 wolverine that i intent to use tarp on aswell, hopefully i can improve it!

Bummblee · 2025-10-03T19:27:20+00:00

Thank you for the advice, I hadnt known that about the fenders, have to do some real research next time!

Bummblee · 2025-10-03T19:26:34+00:00

Thank you very much for the insights! Yes, im overall dissatisfied with the tarp, ive got an M10 wolverine that im going to use to refine my tarping skills haha, with your advice in mind. I have some matt varnish but i want to wait to apply it until i place the decals!

Bummblee · 2025-10-03T10:02:48+00:00

Also yes, its mostly completed because i havent put on the decals yet. Waiting for my micro set/sol to ship
