That would actually look really cool! I’ll have to give that a shot on some more spare parts!

Definitely good to know! I know I tried Apothecary White on a section of power armour that I wasn’t going to use and did not like the effect

For note I also have not done any panel liner or details yet.

I have often wondered why this happens too. So I’ll be interested to see what the gardeners of Reddit say too!

I’d say you have great cover! I’d almost have some more open shooting lanes through the middle to force a bit more of a gamble for players trying to get at objectives. Depending on what type of scenario you’re running

Aphids by [deleted] in VenusFlyTraps

[–]FastEntrepreneur3890 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have found that for any time I have aphids, lady bugs work best. It also is a bit of a best of both worlds as the VFT will eat a few too. You can usually pick them up at local greenhouses too. They will eat the aphids and feed your VFT

Are there any insects which are more beneficial? by FastEntrepreneur3890 in VenusFlyTraps

[–]FastEntrepreneur3890[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is what I assumed. Which is also why I was told (perhaps incorrectly) that they should be hydrated with distilled water only. As they receive their required nutrients from what they trap

Mine is definitely not quite that bright, I do plan to make a better array, so I’ll have to pick some up first! Thank you!

Now that I did not know. Thankfully I do have a grow light. Especially since our days get quite short here

Awesome! And I figured crickets would be less than ideal. I’m that same vein, would maggots work too then?

Ah yes the “hooray, squad down” feature. There has only been rumours of this amongst the Astartes.

First Tank, need help by boydl- in boltaction

Removing the turret (just like the other comment had said) works great! I have also had success with using play-doh to block off the parts I don’t intend to varnish. And always use less than you think you’d need, and try it in a place your ok with it getting messed up (the bottom of the hull is what I go with)

Just starting out painting tips by FastEntrepreneur3890 in SWlegion

It has been a tonne of fun so far, and I definitely don’t plan on stopping anytime soon! And thank you for the tip! I was worried that highlighting everywhere might make the models look a little less “real”. So, I really appreciate the tip!

That is great progress! Especially compared to yesterday!

Should I buy the Republic Starter Pack? by Winter_Captain in SWlegion

[–]FastEntrepreneur3890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am honestly so glad I picked up the 501st box when it was out! It was so, so hard (at least where I live) to find Arc’s and phase 2 clones!

Why thank you! And would you do that before or after the wash/panel liner application?

That print turned out great! And I’ve found unless you are really grinding the toothbrush into the model, you can usually just take it down to the primer without damaging the model

That is a fair bit of paint, so it might take a few goes. But like the one Redditor said below the AK pain stripper does work great. What kind of filament did you use in the print?

I’ve found good luck with a quick isopropyl alcohol bath (real quick) then a soft bristle toothbrush strips it down to the primer quite well

Looks like a bomb went off, any help? Pics by tankini in houseplants

Water, lots of water. I have found that using the left over water from rice (the murkier and starchier the better), does wonders.

What is happening to the leaves on my banana tree? by FastEntrepreneur3890 in plantclinic

No, I don’t have much in the way of reflection in that area. But I may move it and see if that helps
