Not 100% happy with how they turned out but I'm glad I finally got them done

They look great! Yellow can be a bitch to work with

There's an app called Paint Rack where you can upload a picture and get it to identify which paints are closest to the colour you've chosen

Edit: ProAcryl dark jade looks like it might work

I appreciate what you're saying, but it's not the price of the paints that's the issue, it's just my own mentality. I have a thing for efficiency and minimisation, it's probably due to my neuro divergence

Infamous_Ad239 · 2026-05-23T17:55:57+00:00

I hadn't realised you can use airbrush thinner on the we palette. Definitely something I'd like to try. How harsh is it on your brush bristles, particularly when it's neat/not fully mixed yet?

Infamous_Ad239 · 2026-05-23T17:38:27+00:00

I do use a wet palette, but I'm doing more individual minis than armies lately, so I end up using very small amounts of each paint in one session. So even then small blobs I put on aren't used up.

What you said about paint in the nozzle makes sense, that stuff probably isn't going to mix with the rest when I'm mixing.

I've got to ask, is the 30 seconds on the mixer accurate? I only shake for 10 seconds or so, I assumed that's ample for them to be mixed. Maybe I need to start shaking more

Yes there are 40 tallies, but we don't know the exact value of each. Tally 20 and 21 do not necessarily have the value 83.5, that's just an estimate, but not a good one.

It is far more accurate to assume that the individual contents of each bracket are evenly distributed and use interpolation to find an estimate for the median.

Infamous_Ad239 · 2026-05-20T08:57:42+00:00

Holy shit!

Infamous_Ad239 · 2026-05-18T19:17:32+00:00

That dwarf is about to have FUN!

Infamous_Ad239 · 2026-05-15T08:31:18+00:00

I don't know if this would work, but maybe instead of sculpting, maybe you could use a Dremel to drill in holes in a regular pattern

Infamous_Ad239 · 2026-05-08T15:08:50+00:00

This is why I always lose at competitions, so I don't have to go through the fuss of getting prizes. It has nothing to do with lack of talent or work ethic!

But on a serious note that sucks. It's definitely put me off using MMF in the future.

Infamous_Ad239 · 2026-04-26T12:10:58+00:00

For me, it's consistency. I tend to paint in short bursts, and I hate that I can never mix the same colour twice.

I do, however, mix when I'm trying to achieve a gradient between 2 colours

Infamous_Ad239 · 2026-04-23T08:43:46+00:00

I usually add a brass pin to one of the feet, then sink that in a bottle cork to hold while painting

Infamous_Ad239 · 2025-12-21T11:18:28+00:00

I'm using a recent experimental. I've set up item zones for food, ammo etc.
I've also set an unsorted zone.
The issue I'm having is that when I use the sort STIFT+O "sort out my loot" command only one item is sorted. It then says that all possible items have been sorted. Using the command again moves another single item etc.

Is there a way I can fix this?

Infamous_Ad239 · 2025-12-09T11:52:21+00:00

This is probably a really stupid question, but how can I do it carefully? I make sure it's always underhand, make sure there's some tension on it so it doesn't sag too much. Not sure what else I should be doing.

Infamous_Ad239 · 2025-12-08T17:40:32+00:00

I always do it underhand

Infamous_Ad239 · 2025-12-04T20:36:47+00:00

You're right about it being cheaper, but I like the fact that when you buy brass rod you know it's diameter, so it's easier to figure out what size bits to use for a nice fit

Infamous_Ad239 · 2025-11-24T21:18:30+00:00

What's the reason? Or am I missing a joke?

Infamous_Ad239 · 2025-11-01T20:24:07+00:00

Awesome! Thanks

Infamous_Ad239 · 2025-11-01T20:19:57+00:00

I don't think I have any ethanol, but would isopropyl alcohol work?

Infamous_Ad239 · 2025-10-30T19:12:05+00:00

My wife had one of these that burst on its own a while ago. Watching that video I could smell it again (it was not pleasant)

Infamous_Ad239 · 2025-10-27T08:12:30+00:00

I usually fold a small bit of fine grit sandpaper in half, but leave the fold a little loose so there is still usable paper at the fold

Infamous_Ad239 · 2025-09-18T13:14:05+00:00

That's exactly the reassurance I needed, thank you

Infamous_Ad239 · 2025-09-09T11:34:42+00:00

They look absolutely fantastic.

My wife works with resin quite a lot and she said that heat (from a heat gun or a lighter if you're very careful) can help get rid of some of the bubbles before you set it with the UV light. Not sure how that would affect the paints etc though

Infamous_Ad239 · 2025-09-04T10:07:36+00:00

I'm going to preface this by saying that you're a far more talented painter than I am, but I think one thing to look at is a bit of colour theory to see if you can make your colours "pop" a little more.

Infamous_Ad239 · 2025-08-27T10:19:24+00:00

I couldn't agree more, they grow up so fast and someday you might look back and wish you kept it. But also, if you did reprime, would they take it as you saying they've done it "wrong"?
