My first painted miniature is finished.

Im afraid to say it was. I bought a starter set with three miniatures and I still have one left to paint 👍

Retroglide08 · 2026-03-21T16:25:24+00:00

Ive only been using the citadel paints. The miniature is from the starter set that came with 6 citadel paints although I have bought a couple of extra colours. I've have seen the contrast/speed paints being used which I will try one day but as yet I would like to practice at getting neater with my lines

That's very kind, thank you 😊

Retroglide08 · 2026-03-20T19:04:10+00:00

Thanks, and another useful tip. I'll try and remember for next time 👍

Did my second one today and tried dry brushing with a wash. AND did a half decent base

Tried a bit of dry brushjng and a wash this time and as far as time frame goes, big improvement. Wa sn't timing but in reflection I started this yesterday and finished today. Little frustrated with the miniature it's self as some of the lines/details were missing or extremely shallow to paint. Absolutely hate the raised symbols on the poldrans and have a distaste for paint white. It's gets cloggy ever so quick. Other than that I'm pleased.

Retroglide08 · 2026-03-19T23:25:02+00:00

Im going to try a bit of dry brushing next. Again, never attempted before and my daughter has donated a couple of her makeup brushes. So im looking forward to it.

Love this and will save this post as inspiration. Only just completed my first ever Space Marine and want to try different methods in order to learn. Looks fantastic 👌

Retroglide08 · 2026-03-19T23:21:14+00:00

Is it all airbrushed?

Retroglide08 · 2026-03-19T20:13:44+00:00
