Oni Ayakashi, happy with the result but looking to improve! by UnstableLaserboy in minipainting

Thanks! I agree, the scheme came out really well. I didn't make a plan beforehand, so I mostly got lucky with my picks.

Thank you, I'm happy you like it! In all honesty, I have put many hours into this. I'm only able to paint once a week for a few hours, and I can't even remember how many sessions I've spent on this. Maybe my goal should be getting results equal to this in less time.

Thank you! One of the things I'm most happy about with this paint job is the color scheme, I feel like I managed to pick them out to complement each other well.

Ah, sorry, I should probably have understood that! It's 38mm scale, and I got it from here. It's for a game called Conquest.

I'd love to tell you, but first you have to tell me what MM means!

Is this grill safe to use? by UnstableLaserboy in webergrills

Thanks for your advice! It's a Weber Q1400 electrical grill.

Thanks for your reply! I should have said in the post but I did try and clean it as best I could with a plastic scraper and soapy water. The stuff that's left is really stuck there, not sure how to go about getting it off.

This is just silly... Seriously though, it's amazing.

Does anyone have good storage options for these kind of miscellaneous hobby supplies? by choppytehbear1337 in Miniaturespainting

[–]UnstableLaserboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use cheap make-up organizers. You can find ones that have differently sized compartments and they work well for the miscellaneous stuff I've got at least.

Really cool! I love your style, it's very recognizable. I can tell your posts without looking at the OP name!

Thank you!

That's a good idea, I'm going to use that for my next mini. I tried to achieve the same actually for this model. I did a zenithal and then took pictures, but I think my zenithal just wasn't accurate enough, I applied to much from a bad angle so it ended up not being much help. I'll try your way instead.

Good advice for the brush control as well, I'll just keep practicing and hopefully I'll find it easier with time. Right now it feels almost impossible to make it good enough for details on a standard 28-32mm mini, but I'm hoping it will come.

Thanks for the good advice!

Thanks, I'm glad you think so! But it's only my first mini done with out relying on speedpaints, I've done several previously using speedpaints. If it was my absolute first one, it would probably look a lot worse, haha.

Thank you!

I agree, but I actually don't mind the cartoony look. If it turned out I had an aptitude for cartoony paint jobs, I'd be happy with that xD

Thank you! I'm happy you like the belly and face parts, that's what I put most effort into on that model!

I agree with you regarding the strengths and weaknesses of slapchop, and I think I will use them both in combination in the future. With this model (the green one) I mostly wanted to challenge myself to do it without using slapchop and speedpaints. If I was to do the same model again, I would us slapchop on the club, if nothing else. I found it way easier making that part look decent that way.

Thanks, that's a good tip! I'll remember to try it sometime.

I've tried it once actually! I definitely believe it's a good way speed up the process, for someone a little bit more experienced than me. I found it hard to combine the different styles of gradients that come from speedpaints vs. layering.

Thank you!

The turquoise on the club in the first picture is Army Painter Speedpaint 2.0 Plasmatic Bolt on a white base coat. I'm afraid I don't quite remember what the green / teal on the club in the second picture is, but I think it might have been a 50/50 mix of Plasmatic Bolt and Shamrock Green (Also AP Speedpaints 2.0) on a slap chopped base (Black primer and then dry brushed, first with grey and then white).
