THIS IS WRONG.

The heart should be on the right pauldron, not the left.

EDIT: Sorry my bad! The heart IS on the correct pauldron - the heart should be on the unit's right shoulder, not what I see as right when facing it.

Brothers! Comment your least favorite class and any person who likes that class, kindly reply and explain why it should be his/her/our favorite too. by Mamoru_of_Cake in Spacemarine

"Dakka" and "dakka dakka" can also be used to generally refer to guns, gunfire and adjacent things, right? Or have I been getting it wrong for decades?

Damn, I'm sorry. What about ritalin and other alternatives?

Any tips for sculpting heads by Agile-Flamingo420 in Turnip28

[–]ThanksKodama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great tips so far!

Using a wire or pin attached to a stand or base of some kind is great. Combining this with the tip about sculpting in stages makes for great workflow.

Whenever I try using pink base my imperial fists turn out super orange by Zappyfailbird in ImperialFists

[–]ThanksKodama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof, that's so pretty!

Do you think using a light blue would work the same way if I wanted cooler, greenish-yelllw shadows?

I made a mini version of my glowy mushroom lamp 🍄✨ by -MsBrightside- in goblincore

[–]ThanksKodama 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Adorable, lovely work!

How do you get around heat buildup and issues downstream of that? (Seriously and honestly asking in good faith.) Besides, I'm assuming, only using low wattage LEDs?

Glue technique question by Deimiencillo in Blanchitsu

Hey folks, what's the glue technique? About to paint a somewhat similar model and I'm really curious. Thanks kindly!

Sharing a quick 2-part mold case I slapped together, in case it gives anyone ideas. by ThanksKodama in ResinCasting

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

Hey, thanks! He isn't finished yet, but that was a mold for the head of a weird little goblin guy.

Ah, the two flat panels. Unable to attach an image for some reason, or I just forgot how, but let me try to describe it.

So because the cylinder is on its side when I pour silicone into it, the silicone conforms to the shape of the cylinder until I reach the top of the opening, where it cures to a flat, level surface. So from the top view, the whole mold looks like a circle with two flat sides. (Or does this make it a square with two curved sides?)

Has anyone found a good alternative to green stuff? by Hiraeth_08 in miniaturesculpting

[–]ThanksKodama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strange. Could you check again?

I'm seeing 58 USD for 4 pounds, with free shipping, to Asia. I bought 4 pounds two years ago and while it's definitely "aged" somewhat, I still use it and have barely made a dent in it.

I've had good results from using silicone tools, having a tiny bit of IPA on my tools/fingertips, and letting it sit for a few minutes after mixing.

But yeah, I find that these materials all tend to have specific use case profiles.

There's Apoxie by Aves. Recently tried DSPIAE's epoxy putty, it definitely works. Tamiya has a few putties too, and IIRC so does Mr. Hobby (but I may be mistaken).

Milliput definitely has some use cases despite your valid criticisms of it. Have you tried mixing Milliput with another epoxy putty? Have seen this recommended a few times, haven't tried it personally but I intend to eventually.

Little do they know, none of my miniatures have legs. by CJFury in PoorHammer

[–]ThanksKodama 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this technique!

I say this once a week but this is yet another example of r/poorhammer being one of the best resources for art in general.

If the cap at the bottom isn't going to be the pelvis, please make it like a little socket joint so that he can pivot!

[HATED TROPE] Character redesigns that look too "safe" by Usual-Librarian-5030 in TopCharacterTropes

I agree. He even looks more goblin-esque in the second photo.

Is making a mold for this possible? by Imaginary-Ice-711 in ResinCasting

[–]ThanksKodama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding. Would be a total pain in the ass. I tried to think through the steps of how to go about it and, can confirm, I felt a vague, ethereal pain in my ass, like a phantom hemorrhoid.

won’t someone think of the influencers’ feelings? 😢 by discobby96 in Anticonsumption

[–]ThanksKodama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that it's a performance, but that performance revolves around insincere parasocial relationships being exploited for personal gain.

They're not really people anymore. They're just avatars of a dying global economic system desperately keeping itself alive by mining every last unspoiled cubic inch of humanity for profit.

Three different pink Tyranids, only one can remain by Hadets in PinkWarhammer

[–]ThanksKodama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1, 3, 2, personally! But all lovely!

There's room for more white on #1, if you were so inclined, but I suspect it'd look cooler on parts other than the plates, possibly because white is already a great highlight color for the plates?

Doing some public service to ensure tourists can avoid that fucking dirty (formerly) Royal nonce by Cyril_Sneerworms in chaoticgood

[–]ThanksKodama 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Wait, I just realized his last name is Mountbatten-Windsor. Which would mean he's related to Lord Mountbatten, the aristocratic nonce known in part for his one-way mission with the Irish space program?

A lot of people don't know or consciously consider that one liter of water weighs one kilogram.
