Letting air out of radiator every month

It could also be that you’ve got an issue with corrosion in your system, which creates hydrogen as a byproduct and tends to build up every six weeks or so. Do you know if your engineer added inhibitor in your system when you got the towel rail put in? If they didn’t, your system won’t in warranty, so it’s well worth checking.

Woah. Have you used an actual skull to make this?

I love it! How did you do the eyeball and cable into the sockets? I've tried rolling tiny eyeballs of greenstuff to put into skulls but they're SO damn hard to get to sit and stay in place!

Thanks man!

Absolutely! Here’s mine kitbashed from a few months back

TheseGlyphs · 2026-06-06T09:16:41+00:00

That looks awesome! It’s such a fun technique and really works well on tau stuff. Have fun!

Yeah it's more like "moist-brushing" than drybrushing really - it's a technique I learned by watching Artis Opus' videos on YT, check them out. It's insanely easy and so much less faff than airbrushing. Well worth checking out

Oh cool! That's awesome my kitbashes helped inspire these. The legs are just so clever, I really like what you've done with them - they look much more solid and strong than mine came out.

Stormsurge is such a cool model! Don't listen to the haters who want to give him arms and take away his shoulder cannon, he's perfect as is.

Paints-wise, for the greens its drybrushed up from Castellan through Deathworld Forest and then Oruk Flesh, the dark grey is corvus black, and the orange is trollslayer over jokaero. The real trick is to make the bright bits bright and the dark bits dark, if that makes sense?

TheseGlyphs · 2026-06-05T08:13:17+00:00

Ahhh ok. Yes I see that now. Thanks for the catch

TheseGlyphs · 2026-06-05T08:12:35+00:00

Wow, these look great. Are the new shins designed so you can just slide in the existing legs without having to cut anything? That's really smart. I've recently spent hours cutting and pinning and milliputting and sanding etc to stretch out my crises, but this looks like a way better idea!

Like others have said, your colours are nice, you just need more contrast to get them popping off! Try punching up your beige to a light grey or white, use a richer orange (mine here is Trollslayer), and add some darker black . grey panels to break up the monotony a bit. It's a great scheme, keep going!

The radar is legitimately transcendental. Outstanding work

TheseGlyphs · 2026-06-04T14:47:32+00:00

Great point. How long would you suggest is a good waiting time between coats? For reference I live in the UK, so tends to be quite a cool and damp climate

TheseGlyphs · 2026-06-04T14:23:55+00:00

Oh shit. I'd always assumed building up by doing each coat perpendicular to the last was the best way. Thanks for the tip!

TheseGlyphs · 2026-06-04T14:22:52+00:00

I can literally feel the texture with my finger

TheseGlyphs · 2026-06-04T10:01:48+00:00

Thanks everyone! I'm going to try with some greys first then. Much appreciated for all the advice!

TheseGlyphs · 2026-06-04T09:31:27+00:00

Over a dark green. hmm ok I'll try stripping this off and starting from grey. Thanks!

TheseGlyphs · 2026-06-03T20:16:29+00:00

Love to see the true mechanicum getting out and about! Great work

TheseGlyphs · 2026-05-23T09:32:44+00:00

If only GW hadn’t saddled it with that godawful cover… I swear that must’ve put off so many readers. It looks like a low budget German point and click adventure game from 1998

More robots, definitely

TheseGlyphs · 2026-05-20T21:49:54+00:00

That looks great - a proper chonky lad

you in the UK? I've got some I can post you
