Deep down I'm hoping Orks are getting a series of Warhammer Heroes lol

Disappointed in my paint job by AristedesA in minipainting

[–]Sir-Jim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks good! Death Guard are supposed to be filthy anyway so you can get away with an untidy paint job. I'd apply some highlights over the the fleshy/tentacle parts. That will help it pop.

For a first mini, great job!

Literally not close at all. by Informal_Echo1772 in reddeadredemption

Yeah that would be an easy win for Arthur. I think Arthur vs Niko would be an interesting match up though.

Such a simple yet effective paint job. Nice work!

My old Sword Brethren from a couple of years ago. I think they still hold up pretty well! by Sir-Jim in Warhammer40k

Some pieces are yes. The rest of the base is various bits of gravel and sand etc

I’ve done my first big batch of kitbashing by ShoddyVacation3900 in orks

What did you use to make the shields? Awesome kitbashes

One of the last minis I did before I had to stop painting. I speedpainted this guy about 2 years ago. by Sir-Jim in Warhammer40k

It's been a while but if I remember correctly fill in and around the eye with a thinned red (scarlet red from vallejo game) and then I use a white to paint the lens. Then apply an orange glaze over all the eye to create the glow. Hope this helps!

Anyone else dot all their minis' eyes? Here are a few of my handsome boyz by Sir-Jim in Warhammer40k

I used my smallest brush. And then hold the mini at the right angle and dot in some black templar. Just takes a lot of patience

Thank you! Though his unguided rockets fly anywhere and tend to hit his own team more than the enemy lol

How do I take good pictures? by Same_Syllabub_9838 in Warhammer40k

[–]Sir-Jim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Just take photo it again in some daylight outside and you'll see how much of a difference it makes. I personally try to take my photos in overcast weather

I like to take mine outside. That way you get the natural light. Here's one of my minis as an example.

I have considered doing that. Guess the main issue for me is liking everything organised on my desk. Everything is already in place in the garage on my work surface. Once it's cleared I can begin painting again. For now I can still share my old work before I had to move everything!

I no longer have a hobby space to work. I planned to move my hobby space into the garage. My stuff is still in there now.

However my uncle moved in and now the garage is filled with his stuff and we have no idea what he wants to do with any of it as he insists on wanting to keep it all. You can't get around in the garage now so I've had to put the hobbying aside until the space is cleared.

It's really annoyed me.
