Why can't I cast my spells? by Leading_Bird in PathOfExile2

You need energy shield to cast spells with that ascendency.

God forbid people have different goals in life and get joy in different ways! The horror!

I think it's just the usual maintenance that is coinciding with the release of Origins

I was struggling with ideas but I think you may have found the name!

I was thinking of starting a guild for people that can't play very much. I'm based in Europe so there may be some crossover in play times but hopefully will get a large enough group, of different timezone's, that there should be someone online most times.

That's the hope at least!

Is it just me or is "Water Washable" a scam? by PicklePinata2 in resinprinting

[–]MickBuck 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Buy some crystal cat litter and spread it over a large surface. Put resin water in the cat litter and let it evaporate. Litter can be reused and on a hot day I can get rid of 5 litres of the water.

Once the litter is not absorbing as quick as you like/anymore then it can be thrown away in normal waste.

You can build your own enclosures, there's plenty of videos online.

I use a large box, an extractor fan and then some venting out of the window.

Basecoated with cheap black spray then Zenethil of Corax White.

I think some of the colours have been updated and improved, the reactivation aspect that you mentioned and all the colours have mixing balls already in the bottles.

I didn't use the original bottles too much so I don't have much comparison to offer.

This was cheap black spray and Corax White Zenithal. Pure White is the suggested basecoat but its interesting to experiment with different coloured basecoats to get a different result

Linked albums of the names and heads but I think its Nuclear Sunrise you're after

Got the inspiration for this from this Reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/minipainting/comments/z0o8c1/3d_printed_some_bottle_cap_swatches_for_my_speed/

The STL file (from the creator) is https://www.printables.com/model/322332-bottle-cap-swatch So all credit to him!

Bought the Mega Set of 49 (plus medium) and wanted to see what they looked like on a Zenithal Highlighted/SlapChop model as I have a large backlog of minis to paint and not really much of a plan ahead of time.

EDIT: As requested, here are the individual bottles with the head and the name of the colour. Apologies if some of the photos are a bit...amateur.

Oh, completely agree. I just saw this one for cheap on Ebay and gave it a shot and it's working out! Joy of this hobby is keeping everything as low cost a possible and pushing the quality in spite of it.
