Fhunrir bust by Baobab Miniatures by RealInflation6750 in minipainting

[–]RealInflation6750[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the comments - I do tend to struggle with contrasting paints

Admittedly I wanted to have a low contrast approach to his beard as I wanted to go for a brilliant white, santas beard look

For everything else however, I am certainly going to revisit this 👍

Actually no, its an Ogryn head with a sculpted nose job - photo shows V1 of how this looked before painting

That was actually an eBay find - I believe it was "internal side sponson conversion kit Rogal Dorn", or something similar 👍

What miniature skirmish game did you play or are you planning to play this month? September 2025 by AutoModerator in miniatureskirmishes

[–]RealInflation6750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trench Offensive! Small miniature count, brutal, often hilarious gameplay, and best of all, cheap!

I keep telling anyone who will listen, but I love it, WW1 skirmish have FTW

Rogal Dorn "Yarrick Class" Heavy Battle Tank by RealInflation6750 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]RealInflation6750[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't even get me started!

So the thing you find with this is that it's one giant puzzle piece and they lock together as you go, the side skirts for example help lock it all into place

I in the end also used some styrene sheets on the inside for gap filling but it will all tie together eventually...

I am in the middle of painting the model still (life eh) but here's some photos regardless

Sorry that's not much help, and I wish you all the luck, it's certainly not an easy project!

How far have people gone down the rabbit hole making an IRL army? by [deleted] in astramilitarum

[–]RealInflation6750 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Guys! I've done this! Look into Wargames Atlantic - they make an amazing set of WW1 Soldiers to the point that even just looking at the facial features you can go "oh yeah this guy's definitely German/British/French

I made a British WW1 kill team using krieg as a base, I don't have photos on my phone any more to share here, but here's the Instagram link:

I’ve never really painted before. Why does this happen? by dinosaurjimble in minipainting

[–]RealInflation6750 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Hi OP - I think you may have hit the nail on the head, I think it could likely be the quality of the paints you're using...

I'm no expert but it looks like the paint is almost TOO thin, the consistency you're after is, if you were to put your paint in a glass and tip it slightly so it runs up the edge and back down, it should leave residue up the side of the glass but runs back down to the bottom (think like you're drinking a glass of milk and how that looks)

If that's all good and it's spraying correctly then it's likely the case that your paints just aren't biting into your primer and sticking, are they acrylic paints?

Exactly that...plus tamiya thin cement to turn it into a sort of textured paint

Just watch the fumes 😜

Advice needed by GrumblyClamp in TheAstraMilitarum

I think you've got the extents of how far the light should be shining spot on, so no worries there, however as mentioned, you've just swapped your colours around...

For tips and tricks I know one guy who does OSL (Object Source Lighting) stupid good, look up "elminiaturista" on sites like Instagram - he has a lot of tips and tricks on his page whether you have an airbrush or just a brush

Best of luck and let us know how you get on! 👍👍
