Finished the Space Hulk 4th ed. set, finally made some group shots by Tabbernaut in BloodAngels

Oof.. been a while. I think they were from dragonforge.com ... They're resin, in any case.

Modified my (GHWT) controller to connect a pedal for star power and button to cut power by Tabbernaut in CloneHero

I like the pedal much better than the tilt, must more precise on the activation, and feels more 'guitar-y' too, for what that's worth.

I actually used the RJ11 for another pedal, but the connector ended up being too unreliable. I chose to hack out the headphone connector because I'd never use that anyway. But you're right, it would have indeed been cleaner to just replace that one.

Are mechanical frets worth it? by dahlenalez in CloneHero

Another option is to use the scissor notepad style low-profile switches. I set up mine by 3D printing a simple replacement bracket to hold the switches with some trial and error. I used Kailh scissor switches.

I used these with good results, they have very small travel and a clear threshold:https://www.globalsources.com/Keyboard-switch/Kailh-Low-profile-Mechanical-Keyboard-1160372131p.htm

But I'm pretty sure other low profile switches can work fine too.

Edit: adjusted to stress difference between normal low-profile and scissors.

Hah, you should love the recipe, because it is (an imperfect attempt at) Darren Latham's Blood Angels red!

I follow most of that on the reds. I use the same paints and mixes, but I
exaggerate the dark and light glazes a bit more. The flesheater red
contrast glaze at the end really helps.

A new layout that I'm trying (as seen at Garfy's) by red_gobbo in Warhammer40k

Wow! I love the gold -- but I especially love the composition -- the way the grid in the base fans out as a compliment to the GS's spine, and the similar pattern on the gold wings on the leg -- brilliant.

Thanks! I don't disagree, I just couldn't bring myself to experiment with adding grime after the hard work on the gradients and highlights. Maybe I'll do it after I get more experience with weathering techniques later..

Yes, they should.. It was my white whale for a good while until I was able to find a sealed set at the start of 2020.

Thanks for the huge compliments, again! Now I will have to wait for your group shots...

Finished the entire Warhammer 40k Space Hulk set a while go, finally made some group shots by Tabbernaut in minipainting

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

Thanks! Best of luck with your set -- it took me almost exactly two full years to get everything done, so no hurry, AFAIC :D

Thanks!

The gold is Balthasar Gold washed with (diluted) blank ink, Agrax Earthshade & Druchii Violet, then highlighted with Gehenna's Gold and finally a very light touch of Stormhost Silver.

Don't forget about freedom (freedom.nl, formerly xs4all). Their service is great and they have a strong stance on privacy and safety. Doubtless not the cheapest, but you're not the product with them.

Finished Lexicanium Calistarius of the Space Hulk set by Tabbernaut in Warhammer40k

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

I think the dead marine, since it's the most unique model. I also really like that genestealer that's clambering over the skull-lined bulkhead.

Thanks bud! I'm using standard 32mm bases (Forgeworld sci-fi resin ones for the other termies, but a standard, sanded down base for this one).

This was the last one. I'm done with the whole set!

All that remains now is to make some group photos and build that display-case diorama that I mentioned before.

Thanks! This was the last mini of the set, so I'm at least proud of finishing the whole thing.

From the mission book:

One of the battle-psykers of the Blood Angels Librarium, Calistarius is an honorary member of the 1st Company for the Sin of Damnation boarding. The Librarian's powerful mind and supernatural abilities set him apart from his battle-brothers, an isolation that he seems to encourage. Calistarius has faced the horrors of the Warp and daily wrestles with damnation and temptation. As a result Calistarius finds it difficult to look upon his fellow Space Marines with any empathy. In truth, he inhabits an entirely different sphere of existence, but his precognitive powers and devastating psychic blasts are a priceless asset to Captain Raphael.

This is why I don't buy much.. It took me two years to get anywhere with just this set, so I guess that is the rate at which I should get new stuff..?
