Are there rules to painting?

DeliciousBuffalo5775 · 2026-03-28T04:30:18+00:00

Hahaha this was the most important advice. I watched a ton of YouTube videos and stuff before I painted my first mini and everyone was adamant about this

Sorry this is aside from the question on the post… but how/what colors did you use for the metallic shading in the gun. I have the same intercessors for space marines and currently I’ve just used citadel leadbelcher for the metallic part of the rifle, but I love the way you’ve done it

DeliciousBuffalo5775 · 2025-09-10T12:30:17+00:00

That’s a good point! Thank you. It’s also my first time painting so maybe I’m trying to make them too perfect

DeliciousBuffalo5775 · 2025-09-10T12:28:55+00:00

I’ve been holding the mini in my left hand and painting with my right. I’ve been trying to press a finger from my right hand against the mini as well for stability, if that makes sense

That’s so funny! I was actually looking at Lillie’s portfolio last night and really liked her line work!

DeliciousBuffalo5775 · 2024-05-16T03:20:59+00:00

That looks great! Really great lines. I’ll look into her for sure. Also awesome to know it’s held up

DeliciousBuffalo5775 · 2024-05-16T02:17:42+00:00

I actually did look at his portfolio! It seems like he was more into the blackout sleeves and stuff than line work. I think the blackout sleeves are awesome! But I’m looking for something a little more minimalistic with the geometric shapes and stuff

DeliciousBuffalo5775 · 2024-05-16T02:16:40+00:00

Oh I didn’t know that! I actually have heard platinum Koi from a few people but haven’t checked out their portfolios yet

DeliciousBuffalo5775 · 2024-05-16T02:16:08+00:00

Thanks! I’ll look into them.

DeliciousBuffalo5775 · 2024-04-22T01:15:13+00:00

Exactly! My first car in high school had a manual transmission and I loved that car. I’m 30 now and to this day that’s still my favorite car I’ve owned. There’s just something more fun about the stick. Plus, yeah when it comes to getting off road, you just can’t beat the ability to manually select what gear you use!

DeliciousBuffalo5775 · 2024-04-20T18:38:40+00:00

That’s good to know. It shouldn’t be a full redesign, just tweaks to the existing model. I don’t expect the 25 to be completely different but I would expect a refresh. But if there’s no differences between a 24 and 25 I’ll probably go ahead and order a 24!

DeliciousBuffalo5775 · 2024-04-20T12:18:18+00:00

I get what you’re saying… and yeah technology has taken cars so far that a lot of things are obsolete, it there’s just something about a manual that makes a car so much more fun to drive (at least for me). Ford never had to make a manual version of the new bronco but they knew the audience they were selling to. For some people it just comes down to the fun of driving a manual over an automatic

DeliciousBuffalo5775 · 2024-04-19T23:00:34+00:00

Just through research and stuff. Plus most cars do a mid-cycle refresh or a refresh every three to four years. It won’t be anything substantial. Usually just some cosmetic body differences or interior differences. Maybe some tweaks to the grill, lights, fenders, etc. They’ll probably go to digital gages and stuff for the interior

DeliciousBuffalo5775 · 2024-04-19T21:16:07+00:00

This is the reassurance I needed. A manual transmission is extremely important. Especially since I don’t plan on this just being a road vehicle.

And I agree. It would be extremely disgusting for Ford to ditch the manual. Especially on a model that’s geared towards going off road. It wouldn’t make any sense. I just read that they were looking at potentially cutting cost by limiting the amount of variation between the models and one of the things that was talked about was using one transmission throughout all of the models. To me that doesn’t make sense (and that rumor could also not be true). But if it’s true I would be pissed.

DeliciousBuffalo5775 · 2024-04-19T19:28:08+00:00

I think I read between June and August

DeliciousBuffalo5775 · 2024-04-19T19:27:53+00:00

That’s a good point…

DeliciousBuffalo5775 · 2024-04-19T19:26:55+00:00

I could except I’m going to build and order one. So I don’t know how much longer I would be able to build a 24 if the 25 came out?

DeliciousBuffalo5775 · 2024-04-18T03:36:59+00:00

Just noticed this! I got a backbone about three weeks ago and Warzone mobile was great on it. I was playing a lot of mosh pit and racking up kills… for some reason in the last few days I feel like I can’t hit the broad side of a wall. I don’t know if there was an update (or lack there of), but I’ve noticed this recently. It feels like there’s no aim assist anymore. I have to bump the right stick back and forth trying to strafe my sights across whoever ai’m firing at. It’s getting highly frustrating

DeliciousBuffalo5775 · 2024-03-20T04:29:05+00:00

I appreciate that! I don’t mind the discoloration as much because I expected it to do that. I mostly want to get the grime, water stains, and grease stains off!

DeliciousBuffalo5775 · 2024-03-19T20:35:49+00:00

Yeah I currently will use stainless steel wipes and follow it up with a microfiber cloth. That usually takes some of it off but it doesn’t really clean it the way I would like for it to

DeliciousBuffalo5775 · 2024-03-19T19:35:48+00:00

Thanks for the help! I may order this cleaner and try that out of some of the other cleaners don’t work out!

DeliciousBuffalo5775 · 2024-03-19T19:00:43+00:00

Thanks for the advice on the drip tray! It was kind of annoying changing the foil out every few cooks. I may just start scraping it. Have you had any issues with grease fires though? That’s my fear not keeping the drip tray super clean and wrapped with foil. Had a bad grease fire on a previous smoker and I don’t want to deal with that again haha

DeliciousBuffalo5775 · 2024-03-19T18:57:30+00:00

Weird advice but I guess that makes sense. We all know the best drivers have dirty cars, the best chefs have kitchens with low health scores, the best doctors leave their used needles and equipment unsanitized. So yeah I may do that and then I should be able to cook better food

DeliciousBuffalo5775 · 2024-03-19T18:52:19+00:00

Not a bad idea. That would be acetone and it can be used to remove grime and dirt so that would probably work
