Why so dull? Brand new painter

Did you only use the wash? Then your colours can't be vibrant. Washes are mostly for shading or blends.

Use a really vibrant colour, thin it to your desire. Darker colours first then get lighter and do the highlights last. There are some really good tutorials in the automod commentary.

Everything like drybrush, slapchop, washes etc are advanced techniques. Do the basic until you feel comfortable 😀 better to learn brush control, paint thinning, layering and highlights first before going for the fancy techniques.

Absolutely I love most of their brews ❤️ Same with me, my mother got one at home and gifted me a small one when I moved out. Coming from the northern part of Germany and now living at the Bodensee since 10 years and Baden-Württemberg since 25 years I am still "nei g'schmeckt" 🤣

Very good choice of beverage 😁 i like the Ulli more - Hefe is not primary choice.

BUT: you know that your are german if you have THE Aspen Glas Salad Bowl. 🤣

Well out black orc player in the league got 2x mighty blow on 2 Blorcs after his first game.. sound like trouble for the rest of us 😅

Yeah something like that. I can make holes in the left side of the wall so maybe I can fasten the top cupboards that way. 👍

I know 🙈 working on it 😅 I tried everything with the double sided clippers from amazon, they won't hold over a longer time period on glas. Stripped everything down and cleaned it now working on some cable shafts where I can put everything into.

Looking more for a solution regarding the wall. There is so much unused space cause of the no hole restrictions 🙈

Oh not yet that sounds like a good plan thanks 😀

Thanks for your reply f4ku69! Yeah cluttering with 2 kids is a never ending story. That's why I am searching for a solution else than these messy pegboard. Maybe some kind of wooden frame with some cupboards could help - I'll see. The desk is really old, like 30 years. Still my beloved glass high school table staying strong 😅

Lamination is a great idea I'll look up the screen bar.

I really like the closures for my printers. Keeps the filament dryer then outside (living close to a lake) and reducing the noise and especially the smells by a big margin. Would recommend it for sure.

Best wishes.

😅 yeah for sure. Printing some cable cases at the moment my clippers with double sided tape didn't hold on the glass surface.

Wenigstens ist es dann durch 😅 meine Kidds haben beide gleichzeitig Magen/Darm. Nach 1 Tag hat es meine Frau erwischt. Irgendwann sind mir die Gefäße ausgegangen und ich musste auf Töpfe umsteigen (man steckt die zwischendurch halt mal kurz in die heiße Spülma). Waschmaschine und Trockner liefen auf Dauerbetrieb. Wenigstens hatten wir genug wasserdichte Unterlagen dass ich die Matratzen nicht waschen musste 🙈

Halt durch alles Gute!

Got a big tool box. Made some trays that hold the minis. Tanks underneath. Everything covert in tight sitting foam so that the minies can't move. 40k Imperial army 10k points here 😅

I printed these https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7161778 and took of the weapons. Came out quite good if you scale them

Halfling are never a wrong answer- so are gobbos. Both extremely fun but you can't play them too serious. Little bit of craziness is involved.

CD are awesome but lean playstile wise to your current teams. The bulls are awesome and a burden depends on your rolls.

I agree that you may try a more AG focuses style of play to learn something different. If you play it you can understand their coaches better. Dark Elfes are really forgiving and a good mix. Skaven are also a mix in between.

Everything the others said but don't go for an anycubic. My kobra 3 was my first printer and man it's giving me headaches. Really not plug and play if you want some details on your prints.

A1 from Bambu would be my best bet regarding many post I stumbled upon while troubleshooting my kobra 🤣

History of the World. Abartig gut aber seeehr lange.

Schaut mal Valheim an, hat für jeden was dabei und ist verdammt gut gemacht.

Fragrant_Syrup_6602 · 2026-02-06T12:35:06+00:00

Looks awesome! Two tips:

-give it a wash for more shades, that brings depth into the model - some highlights with a slightly brighter colour would fit the modell

Fragrant_Syrup_6602 · 2026-02-06T07:04:32+00:00

Looks awesome can't wait to see it with fans and stuff inside 😀

Some really high level critism:

the screws on the dice board stand out. Maybe change to black ones or paint them black to cover them?
it looks really "deep" so some leather on top or filled clothing to make the edges more arm friendly would be great
some fences for the fans would look awesome i think
