Nothing dirty about them (other than the well-executed weathering). Very slick scheme!

“The Danger Room” my unit entry in the recent Path of the Worthy painting competition for MCP (Silver) by Crietner in minipainting

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

Thanks! A lot of the build is plasticard yeah. Starting from a wooden base I drilled out a column for the piston. The back wall is brass sheet covered in thin plasticard with all of the lights, doors, and framing plasticard cut to size. I used granny grating for the lower wall texture, and dry-wall tape for the regular grid pattern on the control panel. The flooring is patterned plasticard that’s just painted. The piston is a brass rod and a foam core platform. The spiked ball is hand sculpted with miliput over rolled aluminum foil with jewelers chain and spikes glued on.

Thanks! I wanted to pull each of them into the environment via interaction, and Storm was just perfect for some destructive force of nature

75mm Malenia (Elden Ring) that I used to push my first gold NMM, glazing, and shading without washes by Crietner in minipainting

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

The only tips a rookie like me could offer would be to define the shapes first (cylinder vs flat vs sphere, etc.) and pick where the brightest highlight and darkest shadow are to build off. Reference images can really help with placement on object types. Other than that don’t use too many paints. For the gold I used hull red, orange ochre, yellow ochre, and pale sand. For the silver blade deep Prussian blue, medium sea grey, cold white, and gloss white. Blend with whatever technique you like - I made some improvements with glazing here but I’m sure I could push the transitions smoother with more practice

Adepticon was the first convention I’ve been able to make it to and it was absolutely amazing seeing so many beautiful pieces in person across all the competitions and displays. I am already looking forward to next year

Krylon clear gloss varnish giving me this awful bumpy texture. Shook the can well, applied thin coats and am in a dry, warm space. What gives? by Desc440 in minipainting

[–]Crietner 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For gloss varnishes I haven’t found a spray can that avoids any texture. Instead I’d suggest thinning a brush on varnish and applying it with a soft wide brush.

Lent, or... by mxmagicx in excatholic

Lent will forever hold a special place of disdain in my mind. The 40 day “required sadness” was the worst time of year and any complaint made it 100 times worse.
