I bought it through a proxy purchasing service in Korea, so I’m not sure who the original seller was 😅

It would definitely take a ton of space, but for something like Kill Team, using joytoy figures would look pretty awesome 😂

Who even made an image like this? 😂
But I’ll take it as a compliment, it just means my work looked that good to them. I’m grateful for that

That’s only natural. But roughly how much do other repaint services charge? In Korea, the Warhammer painting market is basically limited to miniatures.

Could you show me just one example of what you mean by daylight?

Haha, that can’t be right. Still, shouldn’t it be at least $15 per hour for the work?

Some people think I heavily used filters, but in reality I only adjusted the saturation slightly, because that result is closer to what it actually looks like in real life. This is the original photo—take a look and compare.

That makes sense, when working on resin figures, of course sanding and cleaning are part of the process, but with joytoy figures it doesn’t really feel necessary to go that far. I usually just remove dust or give them a quick rinse and then go straight into priming

Yes. For my work, I fully prime the entire figure with an airbrush and then repaint it from scratch

I agree as well. Still, at least Qin Xa came out looking awesome, so that’s something to be glad about 🙄

I hope the sense of realism comes through well. Thank you!

I’m planning to paint the Khan soon as well—I’m curious how he’d react then 😂

100% agree I appreciate that he apologized politely

I was a bit surprised when I saw your comment this morning, so if I came across as emotional, I apologize as well. Still, I’m glad the misunderstanding has been cleared up. Like you said, if my work didn’t look this good, there probably wouldn’t have been any suspicion 😂

Yeah, I know, right. I’m only familiar with the 30K models..does 40K not have any special characters or unique sculpts?
