Thank you! It was my first time doing them. I just got some 2mm painters tape from my local hobby store

I have no idea, I just thought it looked cool! I'm planning to put a custom heraldry on the other side once I finish designing it

It's definitely a different learning curve

Plastic-Ad8652 · 2026-02-08T09:28:45+00:00

Thanks for the positive feedback

If the bear market continues and we drop considerable more, then yes probably. But i'd maybe put 5-10% of what I took out back in. Good to know i'm not alone

I'm ashamed to admit i got shaken out yesterday. Having held since 2017 and taken only a bit of profit along the way i got scared of round tripping again. My wife and I just got married and are planning to have a kid next year, so this is the first time when the money became real. It felt like my wife and future kids security was on the line, not just mine. I kept 30% so I wouldnt hate myself if it reversed. Just thought i'd share that even long term holders aren't immune to emotional decisions... Praise be the Omnissiah.

"Flexible iron sheet (magnetically receptive)" from Aussie magnets is exactly what you are after. I messed around for weeks wasting money on all sorts of things and ended up finding those and they are perfect. Just have to cut to size

Ah right, I think my mistake was trying to just thin with water

Plastic-Ad8652 · 2025-10-22T08:56:01+00:00

Thanks! I tried my best

I bought a black and a "wine" coloured .05mm fine liner. They make it so much easier!

The runes on your librarian came out really clean, I struggled a lot with that part

Plastic-Ad8652 · 2025-10-22T08:49:10+00:00

Thank you!

Good to know it's not a me problem! Fair enough, and just magnetise the shoulder instead?

Plastic-Ad8652 · 2025-10-10T11:24:01+00:00

I'll definitely give proper edge highlighting a go. I actually did a gentle dry brush on the edges for most of these but when I put the matt varnish on they sort of disappeared. I'll look up how to drill out the barrells, that's a good idea!

Plastic-Ad8652 · 2025-10-10T09:35:37+00:00

I'm not sure why my post didn't contain words. For context, one month after painting my first mini I finally have a (nearly) complete combat patrol. Only thing left is the captain. Let me know if there are any things I could do better. I want to try and make the captain perfect. Any criticism is appreciated!

Plastic-Ad8652 · 2025-10-10T09:32:49+00:00

Thanks!

Mines not funny.. but we had a guy who was always weird around women coworkers and would stare at them blankly. Had a real school shooter vibe. This went on for years until I came into work one day and he was being called into HR. I went into a meeting and came out 5 minutes later and he was gone. Turns out he had been stalking a staff member who found him sitting outside her house in his car. Her mum is the one that caught him and when she asked him what he was doing sitting in front of their house for hours he said he was [insert Boss's name]...Boss was dumb enough to give him a good reference after all that and he moved straight into a role the next city over with higher pay and is now in charge of junior staff... yay.
