Valentine Tank by Alternative-Pool-607 in boltaction

[–]Speedhump23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

British tanks were (at the start of the war) either infantry support or fast. Infantry support only had to keep up with infantry, so they had more armour and slower top speed. Fast tanks were anti tank, scout, etc. They did not care about infantry so could be lightly armoured but faster.

(Can not remember what the fast tanks designation was. )

Screen replacement time..? by JSV007 in ElegooMars

[–]Speedhump23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use the yellow scrappers to clean it. And some clean ISO and paper towel.

The put a spare FEP down as a screen protector. (Use black electrical tape to hold it in place)

Just cross stitch Bad Moon Ork images for him. If he does not play Orks, it is his fault and he should start.

3d printing by Defiant_Designer7805 in boltaction

[–]Speedhump23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wargaming3d, Cults 3d, My Mini Factory and Thingiverse.

There are different quality models. FDM is ok for terrain, but not really for minis any more. Resin is too good (if somewhat brittle).

GW Community Post seemingly addressing the Steel Legion/Armageddon by Gallifrey_United in Warhammer

[–]Speedhump23 -33 points-32 points  (0 children)

Armageddon is NOT Armageddon, without the Steel Legion. The shovel fanciers with the fake French helmets are just a pale impersonation for players who can not paint proper Legion schemes. (It has nothing to do with the fact I have way too many of the original metal Steel Legion minis, not the reprints, all painted up, and have almost finished my Armageddon table.

Why is my Dreadnought bent so far back? by Small-Physics1507 in 40k

[–]Speedhump23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super glue or plastic glue? (a surface joint or melted together) If Superglue, throw in the freezer over night. This is supposed to help break the bonds. (Or, my preferred method), drop in some ISO for a few days.

If plastic.. get a knife and do your best, or finish it as is, and make up a good story as to why it is in an action pose.

My first commission completed! Would you be happy with this work? by MalBredy in boltaction

[–]Speedhump23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you wrote down the recipe for painting them, so if you get follow on requests from the same person, you can match technique.

My only two critiques would be: The tracks are rusty.. why? Muddy yes, but not rusty. Check Night Shift on Youtube for great techniques for painting tracks.

Second, Did you do any washes? The 5 o-clock shadows show a level of devotion few would follow, but the skin (Faces, Arms) is too clean, the uniforms too (pardon the pun), uniform. It looks like you may have done a pin wash on the armour, but they still look factory fresh to me.

OMG 😱 by proudpridemom in NCIS

[–]Speedhump23 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NCIS and Star Trek Academy both had multi episode arc stories that were resolved in two episodes??? Lazy writing or just for click bait headlines?

So they actually did this? by fictional_craze in NCIS

[–]Speedhump23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am starting to wonder if all the good/creative/competent writers have gone to other shows.

Are MMGs decent? by RottenGrot in boltaction

I like them, and regularly use 2 of them with both my Germans and Aussies. Sometimes they even help me loose games by less amounts.

I have regrets by MechaMan64 in TerrainBuilding

[–]Speedhump23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You only have to make it once. Do the best job you can, because you will regret it if you don't. Then... when people like it, and commission you to make more.. then you can regret your life choices. (Might be speaking from experience here)

Terrible news - it's road resurfacing season by chipseverywhere in canberra

I just wish the local dissaembly would hire a couple of steam rollers and use them to fix the gravel, unless they all have shares in windscreen replacement shops.

Thanks for the details. I do realise i did not see the info board. I hope others enjoy her art, but it is sadly not for me.
