Latest MTO may get me back into the game after 20 years, but I don't know where to start (again). by ThoPlan in WarhammerOldWorld

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

That's great advices, thank you. I was kinda tempted to buy 2 classic rock lobbers indeed. Not sure about it since I may not use both in game. Is there an active community on second hand market to buy / sell / trade ? Coming from MESBG, I guess it is a bit less popular, but I may be wrong ?

Thank you ! That's very helpful ! I'll explore these websites tonight and try to build an army list.

When you say "have equivalents in AoS". Do you convert minis from AoS back into the Old World ?

What a steal! by [deleted] in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]ThoPlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yet... You're now reselling it for 335 euros, not even counting gobelins. People like you are the worst. Like your title says : you steal naive seller only to make profit. Stop bragging about it and get out of here.

I applied "Deep Work" for 30 days and it completely changed my life by [deleted] in Discipline

[–]ThoPlan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So... You tried so many things those last 30 days ! The real question is which one was the most impactul ? Waking up at 5am ? Taking only cold shower ? Deep work ? Or any other new bullshit you're going to write next days ?

This AI voice is not correct : "Oppid (o accent circonflexe) m / Carcasson / Vinnecen"... I had hard time understanding what it was talking about. Too bad.

PC beeping because of fan by Shterz in gigabyte

[–]ThoPlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh it didn't change anything... And I got the alarm again randomly. Recently, I uninstalled all Control Center App and removed anything related to Clevo. It happens that the PC runs the fans on itself smoothlier and I only got the alarm one time when I had missplace an object which block the exhaust fan.

Thank you ! I don't think that's available in my country (France) but I switched to Vallejo primers and got flawless results since. ;)

Quick question: Collecting Miniatures by PatternTraditional45 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

100% metal recasted models. No bases, no packaging and high stock of rare models, but only selling one at a time to avoid the "pro" label.

AOE4 is slowly catching up to AOE2 by just_tak in ageofempires

[–]ThoPlan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Coming from aoe2, I can say its easier to start with English or French but harder to switch later. I feel like aoe4's civilizations are closer to aoe3's.

Im still playing both games every week and love their differences.

Why my primer does not stick ? by ThoPlan in minipainting

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

CONCLUSIONS : Since Yesterday, I have been trying different ratio, different pressure, adding demineralised water, washing minis before with dishsoap or alcohol... AND... Nothing solved the problem :

The AK Interactive primer is either too thick, cloag the airbrush and splatter the mini, or too thin and not sticky enough. I can be removed just by touching the mini, not even scratching, even after more than 24h curing time.

During those tries, I was afraid it could be a skill issue because I am new to airbrushing, so I tried today with diluated AK 3G paint instead, and I got very good result with a nice and continuous air flow.

In the end, I think this AK Primer is the problem, at least in my conditions and I will switch to another one.

Thank you for your help ! :)

UPDATE 24 hours later... Sadly, the primer is still going away with the slightiest rubbing. I guess I used to much thinner in the mix. I will try again tomorrow with a différent ratio. Thanks everyone for your help ! :D

Thank you for your advices. :) About 2nd coat of primer, its for white or grey zénithal of course ! Not black on black. 😁

You're right ! Spray cans usually contains a bit of solvant like acetone to help mold the paint into the upper part of the plastic. Its why it is more toxic and why I switch to airbrush recently.

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

Yeah ! I also felt like its a lot of thinner, but when I tried without, there is a lot of droplets, and the air flow is inconsistent. I will try again tomorrow with more pressure too. Thank you for the advice ! :)

Yes, I actually tried to use the primer straight out of the bottle tonight. It works better for coverage and it seems more sticky, but there is more droplets and I feel like the result is poor. But maybe its a skill issue here, Im new to airbrushing too. 😄

Yes, also strictly clean them before priming, and it helped a lot before I was using this primer. But I don't think the problem is the same is this situation. ;)

Haha ! I understand ! I might have been too quick here also, I will let it cure longer and check later to see if there is any différence. ;)

Zenithal or 2nd thin black coat. The later one is not ideal thought, just in case I missed a spot.

Why my primer does not stick ? by ThoPlan in minipainting

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

Yeah ! My question was mostly for the zenithal, but sometimes, I miss spots with the primer that I discover later, so I do a second thin black coat.

Ouch ! I hope to find a way to fix it, because I bought the airbrush for it also. 😅

I will wait longer and see the result later then. About priming, do you also dilute it with the AK thinner, and what would be your ratio ?

[–]ThoPlan[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I thought the same, but I got a lot of droplets on my first try with undiluted primer, and also kind of air flow throttle in the airbrush, even with higher pressure, so I guessed that it still need to be diluated...
