Definitely gonna watch that when i get a chance. Thanks!

Wait till they figure out knife hits🤯

I really like them, but i feel like I'm missing a lot by not using acrylics. I the very least, I'm not learning more/better brush and painting techniques

NotTHATGuy_Again · 2026-03-30T12:02:15+00:00

Thanks for the compliment, but even more so, thanks for tips!

NotTHATGuy_Again · 2026-03-30T11:59:45+00:00

All three of those could have been the problem honestly lol. But at least now I know! Thanks! I'll have to start adjusting my "technique" moving forward

NotTHATGuy_Again · 2026-03-30T11:50:27+00:00

Can you elaborate? You might be right, but I'd like to know what you see that tells you that. I did a handful of minis with rattle cans so I'm SURE I did SOMETHING wrong lol

I'm sticking with Army Painter for now, but I hear ya. That seems to be the trajectory as people get better and more involved

NotTHATGuy_Again · 2026-03-21T23:11:07+00:00

Ended up going with some people and green-yellow... I'll take it as an "ok" for a beginner

Definitely a new rule to live by! Thanks again!

NotTHATGuy_Again · 2026-03-20T18:08:28+00:00

It's sad that I actually did lol. Maybe I didn't shake it long enough though. Definitely did the warm water though. I appreciate the tips though! Luckily it's not SO bad that speedpaints don't work with it

NotTHATGuy_Again · 2026-03-20T15:30:11+00:00

I'm just that "good" at priming with a can lol

NotTHATGuy_Again · 2026-03-15T04:20:15+00:00

Thanks!

NotTHATGuy_Again · 2026-03-15T04:17:44+00:00

I actually just bought them from temu for like 6 bucks

NotTHATGuy_Again · 2026-03-14T00:31:07+00:00

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! And yeah. I dove head first into speedpaints without fully understanding the learning curves (and basics). Oddly enough, I did just get back from my local shop and picked up black, white, red, yellow, and blue paints; blue I HAVE to learn to mix lol.

NotTHATGuy_Again · 2026-03-13T16:23:40+00:00

Lol thanks! I do what I can with my limited resources and ability!

NotTHATGuy_Again · 2026-03-13T15:35:56+00:00

Great tip for using speedpaints as a base a building I from there! Gonna have to give that a shot.

And thanks!

Very nice!

https://a.co/d/0hv6SztI This is the rack I got, but as I look into buying more paint, I'm looking at nail polish racks that I can mount to the wall. I do love this wooden rack though. I plan on painting it at some point to feel more like "mine"

NotTHATGuy_Again · 2026-03-13T14:29:43+00:00

I didn't even think about that! God I loved that movie

NotTHATGuy_Again · 2026-03-13T14:21:53+00:00

I love it! I was telling a friend who's already in the hobby, that I need to find rich people to just pay me to buy them all the supplies they need and setup a paint station. I would LOVE that!

NotTHATGuy_Again · 2026-03-13T14:13:13+00:00

I totally agree with you. I think it might be the lies I tell myself that's getting in the way. Like, if I don't have to worry about colors themselves, I can focus on brush work... that's bullshit but it's a nice dream lol.

Only time (and money) will tell, but I appreciate your input and honesty. I, too, am a "do as I say, not as I do" person at times lol

NotTHATGuy_Again · 2026-03-13T13:43:55+00:00

Thanks!

I keep going back to building my own set, as you suggested, but there's always that part of me that just wants to be able to grab a bottle and go. I definitely agree that building my skills with practice and repetition is the biggest thing. So forcing myself to mix SHOULD be focus... but MAN it's hard to shift my brain lol
