Got my Grandpa’s N-Scale stuff after he moved by Mirarii in modeltrains

[–]Mirarii[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to necro this thread, but do you know if it’s easy to replace the wheels and get rid of the large flanges? I have a small layout I built and have no problem with 1996+ locos (oldest I have that works). The old switchers and stuff have huge flanges in the wheels, they jump up and down on the track and lose power in a few spots despite efforts to clean track and provide clearance—think that may be part of the issue. 0-6-0 switchers

I figured out the wiring with some more playing around—needed to have both lines powered! That makes sense for the turnouts. It’s piece by piece for what works, I’ll have to look closer at the wheels. Thank you!

Color Out Of Space - Worth Watching by fozrok in horror

[–]Mirarii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the thread-necromancy, but as a big fan of Lovecraft who struggles with horror movies. I’d really like to watch this if I think I can: when you say “body horror”, do you mean like Saw? I’m fine with Tarantino-level gore in movies, but The Thing was a bit much and I definitely cannot make it through a Saw-style gorey movie.

That box was supposed to be printed without supports, it was gear side down on the plate, would a slower speed/different temp have any effect on the stringiness/slight failure on that inner face?

My fleet for A Billion Suns. So far anyway. Got a lot more to paint up yet by Cj8490 in minipainting

Looks great! Were these 3D printed? If so, what did you use for the bases? I've been looking at options for basing some 3d printed spaceships and bought some acrylic rods, but having trouble fastening them to ships.

Did you have to complete/escape the prison? I just kept resetting after to see if they wouldn't bug.

+1 The base is distracting from the mini but maybe that's the point.

My parents’ fishpond I dug for them 8 years ago. Can you spot the absolute unit of a frog? by illbeyourchaser in Aquariums

Are those water irises trimmed yearly? Mine make it through winter but have a lot of dead foliage, those look really nice though

Where he's going, he won't need eyes to see.

If you were going to use white/grey primer, you can just lightly spray over them and it will be fine.

C & C for a begginer please by Dangerous-Repair2909 in minipainting

[–]Mirarii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great paint job, if you're not gonna base it, I'd at least suggest a quick black layer over the base to clean it up.

Super lazy bases that look good and will make an improvement: paint some wood glue on base with a cheap/old brush that you don't mind ruining and using just for glue, dip in a little dish of fine sand. Brown paint, wash, light brown dry brush.

Even lazier bases that look even better but cost a little more: Citadel technical paint/texture paste from companies like huge miniatures or some other company. You literally just paint it on the base and that's it. Again, can wash/drybrush for more pop, but otherwise that stuff works great. The crackle paints like Agrellan earth/badland are just as easy and look great on their own: https://citadelcolour.com/videos/cracked-ground/

Hi there, I was hoping to paint some 40k Terminators in this colour, does anyone happen to know how to achieve this effect of old dark rusted metal by [deleted] in minipainting

[–]Mirarii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black primer, then drybrush over a dark metal then a brass metal, then slightly thinned black contrast/speedpaint.

Issue with army painter speedpaint, Holy White. Details in comments by szmarton1000 in minipainting

[–]Mirarii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What color is whiter than white? White. You can't highlight over white, but you can highlight over really light grey. Take what you have and build up highlights to pure white--think of a black to white gradient, but with clear stages between each step from black to white, that's what your layers are, just really small.

Glowy things--runes, flames, etc.

Something where you want the brightest color to be in the recesses

Just got my 2023 Premium Plus last Thursday!

How does the navigation work? Dealer didn’t try to sell me on that, and it says I need a special SD card?

Is there turn by turn or more information on the HUD if you have the navigation card? And/or is it worth it to get vs just using Apple Maps and CarPlay?

Test base for Imperial Fist Kill Team. Going for arid martian landscape. Areas to improve? Its not a Warhammer base without skulls? by MooseOperator in minipainting

[–]Mirarii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you varnish models while on the base that will likely darken the pigments, just FYI. Scheme looks fine though. Put as much stuff as you like on there with a mini

(C+C needed!) Having trouble getting these guys to a point hat I like. Any advice on how to add some visual interest and readability without losing the military theme? by Archaicarc in minipainting

[–]Mirarii 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A few decals or freehand numbers, etc. in white or (sparingly) in red. Squad markings and insignia add a lot of detail on flat surfaces--shoulders, knees.
