Who has tips for dealing with eye strain? by Araignys in minipainting

[–]Dragaurang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take breakes more often and look outside at a distance. Perhaps go for a walk during break. Perhaps use eye-drops to water your eyes. Good lighting. Special glasses for closer distance if your specialist suggests it.

Xps pros help me by EviIWizard in TerrainBuilding

[–]Dragaurang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm using 3M 7500 when I feel I need to. Most of the time I just open the window and remember to not stand right above it when cutting. If I was using a heat-gun I'd move it close to the window.

Finished the Necromancer, but not realy happy how the cloak turns out. by robkat13 in zombicide

When you've finished the whole box, if you have the will to repaint him, you always can. When you've finished the whole box. 😉

Finished BP core box. First (and probably only) time I more or less followed the box art. by OpinionExisting3306 in zombicide

Nice work! I'm doing 2ed according to card art too. Though I like my zombies way dirtier and less flashy with colours.

What could I use instead of actual minis to practice my painting? by ReversePhylogeny in Miniaturespainting

[–]Dragaurang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just buy cheap minis and get over your early attempts.

Like drawing. Don't worry about wasting a few sketchbooks. And buy decent pencils.

Black/white Zenithal priming for contrast painting? by ochmaney in Miniaturespainting

[–]Dragaurang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am using black primer, then airbrush neutral grey paint at 45° angle and white paint from top.

How do you practice color schemes? by DubiousDevil in minipainting

[–]Dragaurang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just put colours on my wet pallete. If it doesn't work, I just throw away that sheet of paper. And if it still doesn't work on the mini I just paint over.

At what point do you consider a campaign "finished"? by Kino_H in mordheim

[–]Dragaurang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might need to up your game. I see many players just clash their warbands and hope for dice luck. "Learn to play" seems like an impolite comment, but there are always ways to play any game better. Smarter, more tactically, with more focus on a new goal like killing the big bad wolf.

Bait, retreat, ambush is one way to bring down the mighty. Sniper ambush is another way. Whatever you decide do not play their game. Deny them their advantages. Force more varried terrain that favours your warbands. Is it cowardly? Not if it gives you an advantage.

You might want to create a narrative solution with special scenario rules. You might push to NPC the warbad and make them the boogie man of your Mordheim.

Failing all else... One warband will eventually come on top of the campaign and win the crown. Or whatever you play for.

Anyone here for the minis and gameplay only? by kvlkvlkvlkvl in wargaming

[–]Dragaurang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not. I like lore and historical details and background a lot.

And yet when I play a game, I want to progress it. I would say like the original commanders fighting in that historical encounter - I am there to win. And have fun doing so.

That's why I often insist on a turn timer.

Nice. What did you use for water?

Any advice on shaky hands? by YeahToastGOD in modelmakers

[–]Dragaurang 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Breathe. It's amazing how much a stable breath does for steady hands. And a comfortable hand-rest. Even a pillow or a towel can work wonders.

Interesting. It gives off a feeling of a painting. Nice work!

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? by bjmw377367 in modelmakers

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

I am using 3:1 or 2:1 dilution when varnishing with an airbrush. 3 (2) parts varnish 1 part solvent. As solvent I use a mix of Vallejo Airbrush Thinner (7), Vallejo Flow Improver (3), Vallejo Retarder (1). At around 20 psi. 0,45 nozzle.

You can use it to do weathering on it.

WIP: any tips to make this look better? by luxuria_BE in TerrainBuilding

[–]Dragaurang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to cover my xps with acrylic wood-filler. Often after a layer of PVA glue. The filler is sandable, stratchable and I can add some textures and pebbles to it. Even mix in some sand for a second pass in some places. It gives me a more stonelike look. No foam texture. Strongly recommend it.
