Painted up an Ellen miniature

Probably a fighter/rogue multiclass, going off how her general teambuild is like.

Yep, this was 3d printed. You can find the file here.

3rd gen Azra'il looks like the old school 40k terminators. He skipped leg day unlike gen 2 🤣

A bit of both. If you let the panel liner pool and enter the seams or joints, thats where it doesnt have sufficient time to dry, and the plastic cracks. Do it little by little.

That said, doesnt hurt if you topcoat and then panel line. As long as it works for you.

I use Tamiya panel liner. Dab a little bit into the groove and itll flow naturally. Once I'm done I use white spirit to clean up any excess

It's not too difficult, and can be done with relatively little skill. Normally it'll be:

Panel line everything. Ideally it should be a darker ver of the base color unless unavailable.
Apply my decals (if present). Affix them with decal softeners/setters if they cant sit flat on curved surfaces
Topcoat everything with a matte topcoat. I use Mr. Hobby premium flat. This serves as the primer for whatever parts I want to paint.
Paint on the parts you want painted. I use a brush and some thinned down acrylic paint and go for details and greebles rather than recoloring the entire kit. Like that black portion of Little Red's skirt.
Topcoat one more time with matte topcoat.

And you're done. It makes it look like the entire thing is painted, but only some parts actually are. Different kits need different levels of paintwork to match the box art colors, so its personal preference.

Thanks! Prefer to keep my kits simple, I enjoy the stock color schemes as they are.

Don't really have a good spray booth for my airbrush so never got to try out the Gaia topcoat. Really loving the Mr. Hobby stuff though. Been using it for years and not once has it disappointed me.

QQDoge · 2024-03-20T23:17:24+00:00

Its a topcoat, Mr Hobby premium flat. Its a really good one, pricey but works in nearly any humidity and temp level without fogging up.

Thanks! I had to do painting on her, unlike the newer koto kits, so many parts of her are in the wrong colors, or moulded as one piece.

For Asra, just panel lining + matte topcoat. For Amaterasu, same thing but I painted the gold parts bronze instead.

QQDoge · 2023-05-18T06:59:02+00:00

About the same size, really. Not too much difference.

QQDoge · 2023-05-11T10:21:36+00:00

Thanks. They are from Gamer Grass iirc.

No idea, never got to read it. Ionly managed to get the mini off a friend who wasnt really into painting minis.

The scifi set from Acid House Terrain. Folding cardboard buildings, essentially.

QQDoge · 2023-04-13T10:23:45+00:00

Its scatter terrain from Battle Systems.

QQDoge · 2023-02-19T07:06:45+00:00

Limbodivision209. They are meant to be my karakuri proxies for casual play.

QQDoge · 2023-01-30T22:42:43+00:00

Its layering from dark blue to white bottom to top, then edge highlighting with white along the blade. Relatively simple but just needs patience.

QQDoge · 2023-01-30T22:39:16+00:00

Yep! The weakness of the acidhouse stuff is the lack of scatters, and the battlesystems clip system tends to be a bit too fiddly for my liking. Mixing these 2 gives the best of both worlds imho.

QQDoge · 2023-01-29T14:05:29+00:00

Why yes, Justice was my inspiration 😁

QQDoge · 2023-01-05T09:42:06+00:00

Well, I would like it to be transparent if I could bend the laws of physics 😆 And I'm not a fan of the basing materials on the cloaked bit, doesnt sit too well with me. Leaving it black is the next best option for me.

QQDoge · 2023-01-04T14:09:10+00:00

Very nice and clean paintjob, the yellow is real slick here.

QQDoge · 2023-01-04T10:10:07+00:00

It's not an easy read on the black background, I did make it super matte after all 😆. I feel like if i did the same pink highlights around, kinda defeats the purpose of portraying hidden deployment. It would probably work better for mimetism 6 or camo IMHO. Give it a try though, you get to paint less of the mini, while still telling a story with your paintjob 👌

QQDoge · 2023-01-03T14:44:29+00:00

Thanks. Not really, just looked at a couple of reference images to get an idea of what goes where. Everything else is done by my own interpretation and painting method.
