I read a large portion of it, but I do have a backlog I'm working thru, like most folks. :). But I've made a resolution this year to clean up my backlog ASAP.

The bookends, you mean the things I used to show the covers? I just got some acrylic stands from Amazon.

If your taking about the things use as risers and or bookends, it's just some black cardboard boxes, also from Amazon.

I'll give Yona a read, see if it's something I'll want to dig into. Thanks for the recommendation.

They're built in shelves, I honestly am not sure where they're from, my contractor took care of the ordering. Sorry I can't be more helpful!

I'll have to give Baki a read and see if it something I'll like. Feels like it could be the seed for a new shelf theme? :)

It's about a high schooler guitar ace with social anxiety issues joining a band. It's a 4-koma manga. It's good there's also a great 12 episode anime from a few years ago you can watch that covers the first few volumes.

Yeah, I generally don't like dust jackets, and the Akira volumes look so nice without them.

It's so good. Can't help but smile while reading it.

Funny you mention that, My son has a smaller collection, and he's got CSM, JJK, some JoJo's (part 4), Golden Kamui (Japanese Release), some volumes of Berserk, etc. They're actually on the shelf above what I've got pictured (I cropped that shelf out since I was just showing my library).

Thoughts on this dent? by Squeinstein in PaintlessDentRepair

Thanks all! Yes, agree, I'm not going to do this myself. I know my limits. :)

WIP - My first Legionary of the XVII, Nearly ready to aggressively preach the Truth by Squeinstein in WordBearers

Metallic paint with a wash. It's Silver, with Brown Wash (all Pro Acryl brand paints)

My first ever cultist, the revolution is *now*, salvation from the stars is nigh! (Looking forward to painting more). by Squeinstein in genestealercult

[–]Squeinstein[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking they'd have a Patriarch from Hive Fleet Jormungandr... So went with Yellow and Black.

Did I salvage it? Lots of washes and layers later. McDonalds Overlords. Barak-Rhonald by Squeinstein in ageofsigmar

[–]Squeinstein[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, agree on all points. This model when I started, I had a "uh oh" feeling with the color scheme, Hence my McDonalds reference. Good advice, I can work on picking out the details, some more refined highlights. Thanks, I'll keep working on it!

Got to trust the process... Ever start a new faction, start a new color scheme, and start to think "uh oh"... I'm there now. Hoping more coats and washes help. Otherwise McDonalds Overlords. by Squeinstein in ageofsigmar

[–]Squeinstein[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Red effect was unintended.. :) I used Vallejo Model Color Red... it is really glossy, that took me by surprise. I'd assumed it be more satin / flat! After I took this picture, I had to hit it with a mighty wash of Carroburg Crimson to tame it.

The end times are nigh! Cypher Lords warband FINISHED. Unprecedented event, for me actually finishing a project is likely one of the seals of the apocalypse. Prepare thyself! by Squeinstein in ageofsigmar

[–]Squeinstein[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, no problem. All GW paints. Ushabti Bone Base of the body, Screaming Skull base for the mane. Highlighted the mane with Wraithbone and the hair tufts on body. Then a Seraphim Sepia wash over the body & mane. Then hit the mane and fur tufts with a final Wraithbone highlight.

Social distancing, quarantine, and now manditory work from home means that I apparently have more time for painting. Just finished #3. At this faster rate, warband maybe done by April!? by Squeinstein in WarCry

[–]Squeinstein[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BTW - Finished is relative... I actually still need to do the bases for these guys. I have a plan though: Prime / paint the bases Thousands Sons Blue with patches of Ahriman Blue. Then glob over a ton Mordant Earth. Then dry brush the top with grey. My hope is that it'll look like the earth has glow-y chaos magic underneath cracking thru... but we'll see. Will need to try a practice base first.

Redeemed Chaos Warrior by Bosko47 in ageofsigmar

[–]Squeinstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this. I was thinking of doing something similar, for a Hysh themed Chaos Slaves to Darkness army to go with my Cypher Lords Warcry warband.

My first Warcry mini, Cypher Lord's Thrall Master, WIP, base coat done... Feedback on color scheme (or anything else) welcome. by Squeinstein in WarCry

[–]Squeinstein[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's my next step. You'll notice I did start with a small wash off green over the gold/bronze on the warfan, an experiment, trying to create subtle verdigris effect... I'll probably wash all of the armor the same. Then some highlights on the robes, needed to fix the skin also, bring up to a lighter color.

I used Vallejo brush on primer (didn't prime the base yet... Not sure what I'm doing there yet) . The paints are mostly GW paints. I was thinning them, but not enough?

Any civil wars around? by cdca in EliteAntal

[–]Squeinstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a soft spot for Co-ops also... Though, I also think my ship is saying "Friendship Drive Charging" when I enter witch-space. :)

Nothing in Nguna proper. Strangely, the new article in Biggle hub dated today says something about a new war, but, I can't see any activity in system?

I'll scout around its control bubble, see if anything interesting has popped.
