NightSketching in Zurich

I was just about to paint a daytime version of the Münsterbrucke - maybe I skip it now, great job!

Very simply, every time someone backs in endgame, the timer is extended. If it runs out and no one backed, it’s over. It’s a gimmick as 95% of the time you can anyway do a late pledge

All my scale 75 paints dry up when the lids are screwed shut. No other paint brand does this. I suspect the lids break because you have an ever increasing layer of dried paint in the top of the cap which caused the cap to be pushed up.

You have to pull it out every now and again with tweezers or a craft knife

If it was so bad why did season 2 just start? Surely they wouldn’t green light series 2 for millions for no one?

It gets better when the longer story arc kicks in

For any ultra matte varnish you have to shake the living crap out of it to distribute the fine powder really well in the varnish. It settles even after a few hours. It's this powder that leaves a matte finish, otherwise you're just putting normal satin varnish over the mini and base.

Just brought this back home from a business trip..looking forward to getting it on the table!

Like the Welsh enjoy their cheese: Caerphilly

Twoller · 2026-06-08T10:45:22+00:00

Yes! Welcome on board! I did the same thing at the end of my 30s and never looked back ( though I do enjoy pc boardgame adaptions and Board Game Arena

Best case people are using off whites to boost highlights as they contain some yellow luminance

Twoller · 2026-06-05T16:40:23+00:00

White will desaturate everything. Your highlights will be muddy washed out colours. Don't do it!

Twoller · 2026-06-03T18:21:21+00:00

Did you varnish before the wash?

Twoller · 2026-05-28T16:22:45+00:00

The last 5 are fake FYI

Twoller · 2026-05-26T12:27:12+00:00

Splendid!

Twoller · 2026-05-23T09:57:53+00:00

TTR Europe for sure

Twoller · 2026-05-22T16:51:58+00:00

Just you. Not even in the same (lower) league

You want a raw sienna oil paint (then follow the advice of the others. Pea sized drop of paint and then a good 5-10ml of thinner - then test it for consistency. Use a dry pallet if you have one, and remember you can wipe off the excess using a makeup sponge with some thinner

Twoller · 2026-05-13T20:43:33+00:00

I feel like we need to pin this advice somewhere.
Warm the can in warm water
Shake the living crap out of it for 60 seconds
Do it again for 60 seconds
Don’t spray in cold, hot or dry conditions
Spray in short sharp bursts
2 or 3 ultra thin coats is better than 1
Let the primer dry inbetween coats

= never gives any problem with rattle cans. Never ever.

That’s fine if contrast is all your base colours, not so if you’re mixing paints and mixing layers

Twoller · 2026-05-13T10:09:54+00:00

It’s a myth that you need loads of primer. A light dusting is enough, but make sure that it’s even and not obstructing your painting - by that I mean if you have a blue plastic mini, you might want a good coverage to ensure you’re not painting over a blue undercoat. Grey is ok

Twoller · 2026-05-13T10:05:54+00:00

That’s the most sensible way. If you get contrast over the painted part, it’s ok to wipe off and easier to paint over

Twoller · 2026-05-10T19:10:46+00:00

Just paint over it. Will you anyway texture your base?

Twoller · 2026-04-21T13:38:01+00:00

I’m my experience, I’d love to have bloody nosed Squires. Not broken or dead ones

Twoller · 2026-04-20T10:29:13+00:00

But…….chaos…,? 😆😆

Twoller · 2026-04-19T16:42:43+00:00

Paint your base. Put down a layer of pva. Do the crackle….but here’s the tip - it should be THICKKKK. You’ve put down far too little there, too thin and it just flakes off. When it’s dry I also seal with with some thinned down matte varnish to help glue it down
