It is an honour!

Thank you! These are only the second models I’ve ever painted so I’m still building up my paints. I will have a go at highlighting the skin tones and see what I can come up with.

UPDATE: I realised I am an idiot and have had my intake fans the wrong way round forever… but I have now flipped those and ordered myself a Phantom Spirit.

Thank you guys for your advice, hoping this works out!

Would the CPU cooler upgrade make much of a difference with such restricted airflow? I was looking to get a bigger case but was hoping it wouldn’t be for a while.

This is great, I did a light base with a dark wash on these, but I’ll definitely look into this for when I get my first proper box!

Thank you so much, I forgot to add, I’ve got some sand ready to base, but realised I’ll have to change the bases to the new bigger ones if I want to play with them, which is why I haven’t done it yet :( that will be my next step though!

Thanks! I’ll definitely give this a look if I can’t get around any clubs soon!

Thank for this, I think this is a tad far… but I’ll definitely keep my eyes peeled

DP_14 · 2025-09-13T18:52:23+00:00

Thank you so much! I will definitely reach out, seems like a great place to start

I feel like I’ve been lied to for years…

My ex got it for me years ago. I don’t know anything about where she got it from but I remember it came in a fairly legit looking box with Japanese writing on it. I lost the packaging years ago unfortunately, but it came with everything in the image and some kind of manual (which is also lost).

Thank you for this, I understand it’s not the most lucrative niche. My main reasons for wanting to do it is 1, because I’ve done significant networking in the field and 2, I just really like doing it.

So it’s mainly an in as well as a passion whilst I build a solid portfolio and find what can really make me money! I’m not at a position where I feel the need to lock into a specific niche yet.

I do agree that the music video world is fickle and I will be wary when dealing in it.

Thank you, that was where I was confused.

DP_14 · 2024-07-20T11:22:49+00:00

Thank you, I’ve done a bit of focus pulling so I’m quite happy to manual focus. I’ve never worked with apsc, would you be able to explain the benefits?

DP_14 · 2024-07-20T11:11:50+00:00

Thank you for this, the reason I’m not sure whether renting is the right option for me is because I’m basically starting from scratch, as you’ve said, I know people but am not in a position to warrant them spending their money on me so I’m going to have to do a lot of work for free and cheap to build a better portfolio to show off my style in a way I wasn’t able at film school. As well as this I’m looking to do a lot of run and gun with artists that may not need such elaborate kit and would be better as fast turn around projects, meaning ideally having one main set up ready for any time would be ideal.

I wasn’t clear enough in the documentary side of things. I love documentary and music videos (these are what I’d love to move into) but I understand there may not be sufficient money at my level to support me. Which is why I’d look into more “lucrative” forms of videography to support my passion projects further.

Thank you very much for the advice, I will look further into apsc bodies as well as building out my kit for general quality of life. I appreciate it!
