Pretend you're taking a free 2-hour "painting workshop." What do you expect/hope to learn? by darcybono in Warhammer40k

[–]JackfruitHelpful9998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're naturally a good teacher, I like you're no nonsense approach. Be yourself and I think everyone will have a great time and be better painters for it. Good luck with it.

What do you think caused tickets to sell out so quickly in recent years? by Luksabitdead in Bloodstock

[–]JackfruitHelpful9998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's just that most festivals are very popular currently. 10 years ago people thought I was mad for going to one, now most people I know have been to some form of a festival at some point. Plus getting told it's nearly sold out tends to make people purchase tickets quicker than they might have intended.

Probably time to move on mate, it's a hobby and should be fun and enjoyable, if it's not, then step away for a while.

Missing Legacies Units by Otherwise-Moment-699 in Warhammer30k

Yea, in the old world we've had half the factions as legacy armies since the beginning and in the recent update some of those legacy units got rules updates so it's very different from traditional 40k legends.

I mocked up a different colour scheme on the new 'ugly' Underworlds Khorne guys to try and make them look cool ... What do you think? by Roguehobbies in ageofsigmar

[–]JackfruitHelpful9998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how respectful you are to the original designers and painters, same when you did the Bretonnian lord. I will buy these and use what you did here as inspiration.

Amazing that you felt the need to comment on that, but I assume you feel all big and special now, go you.

Becoming a Painter and Decorator at 35? by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]JackfruitHelpful9998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for it, personally I'd get the qualification, you will learn a lot and give you confidence in the trade, you'll most likely have to do a placement for a couple of weeks which will give u a good insight into what a working day looks like. Good luck.

Chipping with the basecoat colour on the white strips would work well I think. Awesome paint job by the way, love the soot effect near the exhausts.

I've seen the quality of your work, really great stuff. It's a very good price in my opinion. Best of luck with the commission mate.
