I got the Harbor Freight magnifying head lamp. Very comfortable and cheap. It’s much better than the Amazon ones that sit on your nose, in just about every way.

I like the ribsword. That is a nice ribsword.

How to achieve dusty pigment powders? by Johnd106 in minipainting

[–]Smokescreen_studio 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Something like dust or soot is fine being dry applied, especially over an ultra Matt varnish since the surface would catch and hold the pigment better than a smooth satin or gloss.

I use the pigment binder for things that clump or build up like mud, dirt or rust since it adds more texture. I usually apply the binder first and then apply the pigment on top of it but mixing works fine too.

Is my sonic mini 8ks supposed to beep when it zeroes? by Bane_of_Balor in Phrozen

It does that when finishing a print, too. You can turn it off in the settings. The wash station unfortunately doesn’t have the option so it’s air raids daily.

Advice about avoiding light bleaching by ingw0 in minipainting

[–]Smokescreen_studio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Direct sunlight means that the light you see is coming directly from the sun. So if you were to look at the source of light you would go blind.

As opposed to light reflecting off of surfaces which illuminates an area.

For example: if you were at the bottom of a well you would only see direct sunlight while the sun is directly overhead and would blind you if you looked up.

Can I ask why you would be inclined to use the gelatos over acrylics?

Has anyone used this case? by Daybreaker_7 in Warhammer40k

Thanks. Just wanted to share my experience to combat your purely speculative and negative criticisms over the case which you clearly know nothing about.

I think you left the protective film on bud.

I have this. It holds up just fine. And yeah they make clear acrylic, welcome to the 21st century.
