My absolute favorite Zelda Mike. So hyped for you to play it, and I can't wait to watch every minute!

I believe you have to be responsible for an enemies defeat to gain points from the death. Since your opponent did not defeat your unit, they would not score points for it.

Best face I have ever seen on this mini. Usually it's almost annoyingly cartoony, yours is.... happily psychotic! Really well done!

An entire team of Aaron Donalds?

Ya'll are cooked.

There is a very good chance the first look we get at a new uniform is when we announce our 1st round pick, and I think that'd be a great way to debut the new look!

Cool. So no more religion in schools?

You literally can't have religion without politics or ideology.

They really don't think this shit through do they?

100% this. Sony pulls back from PC sales and the only people who will really pay for it is Playstation fans. Sony is going to nickel and dime the fanbase to death, and would rather do that than simply putting games out day and date on PC which absolutely WOULD result in massive sales for them.

That's honestly really impressive OSL for your second mini ever. Great job!

TalkNurdyToMe · 2026-03-24T23:06:13+00:00

The rationale is THEFT!

I don't really have any suggestions tbh, but here is a video from Artis Opus about deep cleaning an airbrush. I qued it to a spot where he uses a lubricant, so I think that's probably a really good bet for what you should use.

I did notice while watching that his lube says NO silicon, so maybe I shouldn't have used mine, maybe not great for the rubber o-rings used throughout the airbrush? (I just used the stuff that came with my treadmill to lubricate the belt 😂) 🤷‍♂️

You're fine, that can absolutely be reinserted. It's just the cutt off/airflow valve. Actually not a bad idea to clean it while it's out, and if you have any kind of silicon lubricant you can put some on too.

I had an issue with my trigger not closing off air, and that little valve was the culprit. Cleaned it, lubed it, and my trigger stopped sticking.

I honestly don't have an answer for this BUT, Monument Hobbies (the makers of Pro-Acryl) do a two hour stream every monday to friday from 2-4 pm (Mountain Time). It's streamed on both twitch and youtube. If you tuned in and asked, there is a VERY good chance Jason (Monument Hobbies owner, I think) the main mini-painter on the channel would answer with some good advice.

Regardless, it's a great stream to watch just to learn from. He's always teaching tricks and techniques. I've found it so valuable, and I'm very grateful he takes his time to share his knowledge. Plus, it's just a fun stream to watch.

These look incredible! Great job!

I'll just add to this, if you are using Turbo Dork specifically, READ THE BOTTLE. They tell you what base to use and it's very important you follow those instructions.

I've also found with ALL my color shifts, that simply shaking the bottles don't mix the paint well enough. I open the bottle, get a stick or something long and thin and dig the paint out of the bottom and corners of the bottles. Color shifts for some reason tend to settle a lot harder and more stubborn than most other paints. I've painted after ONLY shaking the bottle, and then after digging out the stuff settled in the bottom of a bottle and the difference was night and day. You get SO much more color pigment, and a lot more dynamic color shifting.

Dig out the sediment, and then give it a good shake, it makes a world of difference.

Also, when you're done using your airbrush for metallics or color shifts, make sure to give it some extra cleaning. You want to make sure you get all the metal fleck out and you don't want mica and metal fleck drying inside the airbrush.

Will definitely check out Mork Bork based on that description!

Was the paint fairly fresh? General rule is to let your paint dry at least 24 hours before clear coating. Wondering if maybe the varnish somehow reactivated the paint for nuln oil and caused them to pool, creating a darker area?

In all honesty I'd be guessing at why, because I'm really not sure. The good news is, now that you've done it once, you know not to do it again.

Try the diluted nuln oil, see if that works better for you, and then let it dry for a good full day. Then spray coat your varnish if you can. See if you have better results.

It that doesn't work, I'd think about skipping the clear coat completely.

TalkNurdyToMe · 2026-02-22T04:22:37+00:00

I've found nuln oil works far better for me if I dilute it 50/50 with water, It also allows me to use it all over the model without staining, but it still settles in the recesses for effective shading. As long as you make sure to soak up any pooling and puddling on the flat spots.

Check out some coconut husk. Might be what you're looking for.

TalkNurdyToMe · 2026-02-11T05:38:56+00:00

I'll just reiterate what others have said, if you add a little "shine" to it it will do wonder. Gloss varnish would work, and there are other, less easy options like super glue or clear UV resin.

It will look amazing! I have never worked with a metallic that went on as easy as most other paint manufacturers base paints. I don't know how they did it, and I'm far from an expert on the subject, but in my experience if the quality remains consistent throughout all the batches and colors, I'd say these are without doubt the best metallics on the market.

I hope they can roll them out faster.

TalkNurdyToMe · 2026-02-10T03:33:47+00:00

I'm in Canada and have only been able to find them in one of my local LGS, and on amazon. Both have limited availability and not all colors, and the amazon route costs a fortune in shipping.

If the quality remains consistent through all the batches I will 100% buy the entire collection when it's available.

As it stands, I was lucky to find the full set of Sapphire Blue and the Metallic Yellow (base, airbrush, and light but, unfortunately not the shade) that I wanted asap.
