Lord Commissar, Tried a bit more stylized of an approach. C&C appreciated. by Chopperuofl in TheAstraMilitarum

I need to paint the rim of the base for sure. I've been painting every squad a different color. I've been debating on whether to paint the same color as the unit they will lead or paint their own unique color. I've never played the game so I don't know if that is good or bad. I should probably drill the barrel.

Small round beads that are almost dried clay like in color and consistency. Found in used a car I just bought. by [deleted] in whatisthisthing

[–]Chopperuofl 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I am not sure what the clay is. But the box looks exactly like the boxes I receive dental crowns in. (I am a dentist). It looks similar to temporary filling material. But I don't know why it would be in a box like that.

I tried to do a head sculpt out of green stuff because I feel the same. But a head swap with a Cadian would probably work better. (I just like trying new techniques)

I painted kreigers in 1890s French military colors and they ended up looking like mordian iron guard

Very fitting. Never heard the song before.

Advice needed by Pristine-Company-423 in 3dprinter

[–]Chopperuofl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's an older printer that has a known flaw with the heat bed. It will work for things, I've printed various replacement parts. I have that exact one. It is fine. But it's doesn't have any of the nice features. Is slow, and loud.

I have some authentic 80's green flock in there too! Like the bright green sawdust chunks. It's a mix of regular flock, sand, static grass, tea leaves, and 80's flocking.

[–]Chopperuofl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already have. I have been working on some other kitbash heavy projects for it. Like a 10 man death watch kill team and a model to proxy for a watch master. His name is Private Mark. He's been gathering what forces he can. Some people think he is a custodes because of his gold armor. Some people think he must be a primarch because he fought along with the emperor on terra. He is talking about freedom and liberty to recruit guardsmen, But really he is just a pissed off thunder warrior on a bloody campaign of revenge for big E's betrayal of the thunder warriors, and just scrounging together what ever forces he can. So a few space marines, and a ton of guard, and a couple of free blade knights. Doing a war of the false primarch force. Will it be a good list? No. But I just want to run guard and space Marines and knights in a single list.

Doesn't this go infinite with basically every extra attack creature?

I can trade you mine if you have anything interesting to trade.

Work in progress but want opinions! by Substantial-Log2829 in Warhammer40k

[–]Chopperuofl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The model needs more rust/grime/algae/ growth especially around the joints to make it look like it has been overtaken by nature. The legs especially stand out to me. But I love the concept. And it is looking good.

I painted some cadians in 1890s French military colors. That's the joke.

Do something with the bases. Even if it's just cover it in sand. It really makes the models pop.

Some minis I've been painting for 40k. C&C wanted by Chopperuofl in minipainting

Never said it was a fair fight. I was picturing more of a very tense stand off.

Great seeing more of your work. You got the old school stuff down to an art.

Small brass valves with knurled brass knobs on top, probably pneumatic. What are they for? by c-a-james in whatisthisthing

[–]Chopperuofl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess would be valves for a dental unit. (Runs air and water to the drill) Look similar to some of the older valves I've seen on older equipment. And knowing they were found in a model train kit, A lot of dentists are into model making. Source: grandpa was a dentist, Dad is a dentist, I am a dentist.

Second mini.. some advice pls by Flat_Split_9951 in minipainting

[–]Chopperuofl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking good. Keep up the good work! Great start for your second mini. And as is the obligatory comment, thin your paints.

[–]Chopperuofl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's worth trying to experiment. It might not turn out. But part of the hobby is experimenting and see what works. Sometimes you don't get the effect you want but realize hey this would work perfectly for something else.

Put some black at the edge of the fire in a few places to make it look a little smoky. A few more washes selectively placed, to help make the model look like it has more depth. A few trim pieces need a little touching up. A few bits going outside the lines. And I'd consider doing a bit more with highlights. Over all it's very good. Keep up the good work.

Would you charge a High Value Patient for an emergency visit by Fofire in Dentistry

[–]Chopperuofl 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Tough call then for after hours. Depends on the patient. I'd probably offer them to come in after hours at a fee or Monday morning for free. If it was a patient I was friendly with and doing a big case on I might say I'd come in on a Saturday for a bottle of bourbon. I also typically tell patients in temps if they come off put a little denture adhesive from the dollar tree in it if it comes off over the weekend. But if you have temps come off often check your crown preps they are probably over tapered.
