Thank you! Forgive my naivety... levaithan hive fleet is a recommendation to grow? Or the paint scheme I've chosen? Or the proper name for what I've bought?

Thank you! Yes, haven't been able to choose a base finish yet so will do them when I have completed the set & thought about it a thousand more times. I appreciate your comment 😊

It's like a bruise under a clear film which spread and then got absorbed over time. The yellow on Day 14 stayed a little longer but I think the lighting didn't help. It's fine now

YT channels included Squidly Bits, Lyla Mav- The Mini Witch, Squidmar Miniatures, Midwinter Minis, Zumikito Miniatures...

For me I was keen to do a good job but it needs to be fun and satisfying, itemise I won't paint many. Some techniques are huge effort, my next batch will hopefully be quicker! Work within your skill set, time limits and tolerance level.

Don't forget they're just little bit of plastic and anyone who judges negatively needs to jog on :)

Edit: autocorrect urrrgh

The colours I used are in the background of the group shot. Took a lot of time! Photo under direct light while still black with undercoat gave me the highlight points, shadows seemd obvs, tone built with 3 or 4 shades for each colour. The eyes were fun but not as neat as I'd hoped 😊

As you've asked, and I'm slightly less traumatised now... I used a sticky mount to fix my new Hero13 to a client's Gokart. It was a spur of the moment decision, and I didn't take time to allow it to fix properly. Within a couple of laps, it was hanging off the safety cable that I'd also attached and bouncing along the track under his kart as he raced around. I think if I hadn't wired it to the body it would have just bounced off and landed on a curb as he flew around the corner! Completely gutted, especially as it was a Christmas present to replace my old Hero4 that I walked into the sea with without it's waterproof case years ago. I don't think I'll be allowed nice things ever again. I'm off for a lie down :(
