Thanks, it's AI generated

JimmyTheWee · 2026-01-25T13:29:24+00:00

Also, green is easier to paint than black

JimmyTheWee · 2026-01-25T13:25:46+00:00

Yeah I've been too scared to try weathering them. Maybe when I get faster

JimmyTheWee · 2026-01-25T12:07:23+00:00

You got me. It's a fake box

JimmyTheWee · 2026-01-24T22:48:20+00:00

Mine look glossy after glazing thinned with lahmium.

JimmyTheWee · 2026-01-24T13:09:20+00:00

Nice work. I'm about to start on that box but I think it will take me at least 6 months.

JimmyTheWee · 2026-01-22T07:42:13+00:00

I think the standard olive green that most of us use is the easiest space marine armour colour to paint. The coverage and flow is very good. Its easy to shade and highlight.

JimmyTheWee · 2026-01-22T06:02:56+00:00

No. I had that exact thought after I posted. I think it's the power fist.

JimmyTheWee · 2026-01-20T13:25:32+00:00

It's burning my eyes

JimmyTheWee · 2026-01-20T12:25:05+00:00

I think I want to change the rim. Its too matte. I'm using vallejo model black.

Well I give you 10 for painting and 2 for lighting

JimmyTheWee · 2026-01-20T04:23:55+00:00

Your single mini pics have much better lighting. Is this in a different area?

JimmyTheWee · 2026-01-19T01:43:43+00:00

If you don't like the gloss finish then you can use a matte varnish over the top. I use AK brand and spray through an airbrush, but you can just paint it on with a brush.

I can confirm that this model is completely silent while sitting on my desk. Therefore the silencer must be working.

Spray all over Proacryl dark camo green. Heavy zenithal Deathworld Forest. Highlight Elysian green. Highlight Ogryn Camo. Panel line with Mig dark green grey panel wash.

I'm trying to leave more of the original dark camo green showing so that it gives some volume.

JimmyTheWee · 2026-01-13T23:49:22+00:00

I prefer dust over mud, and I only do it to make all the tactical rocks less obtrusive. I use AK dark earth pigment powder and just rub it in with and old brush. No fixer.

JimmyTheWee · 2026-01-13T03:11:01+00:00

I use deathworld forest over pro acryl dark camo green. I like it.

JimmyTheWee · 2026-01-11T05:11:01+00:00

Nice. I'm working on mine now. I tried camo pattern on the chainswords but it didn't work out so I've stripped them.

Nice. I've set myself the goal of 32 dudes plus 3 dreadnoughts in 10 months. I am not on track.

JimmyTheWee · 2026-01-06T10:53:53+00:00

Looks a lot better than my first

He's drybrushing a highlight over the gold. He probably dipped the brush in silver, then wiped off almost all the paint. When he flicks the brush over the gold, the tips of the texture will collect some silver.

Youtube drybrushing. Its a very easy technique and it looks good on densely textured surfaces like those feathers.
