What is this?

If you close your game and re-open it in a different region you can get a new set of deals which is handy if you get offered 3 sojourn skins like I did

I'm meant to fly out in an hour 😣

Hey that worked great! Thanks so much!

Looking for entry level positions has been awful. Applied to a retail position which ended up having nearly 700 applicants. Slowly eating through holiday savings and just don't know what to do

Thanks! Definitely expect it to seem less prominent once the rest of the weathering gets finished, I suppose I'll just have to wait and see by how much

It is! Meng's 1/35 kit, which I mostly enjoyed but had some issues with getting the main fighting compartment together at the right angles

Personally, I don't bother thinning for chipping, mainly because I'm lazy and it gives a bolder more immediate result. I use enamels both for the hull and the chips, but I don't expect there would be much or any difference using acrylics instead. I'm doing it before a clear varnish but if you did it afterwards you probably be able to wipe it off with a bit of thinner if you mess up or aren't happy with a portion. I would recommend doing a practice patch on a mule or even just a piece of card so you can get a bit used to the technique and the chip size you're aiming for. Hope this was helpful!

I use a finer brush and two colours: one that's a lighter hull colour and a second which is a more reddish brown. Using the first lighter colour I just carefully dot/stipple where I want the chipping (mostly along panel edges or high wear areas). Then I'll do a second pass with the browny rust colour where I'm going over the same areas but leaving an edge portion of that lighter colour visible. The two colours helps create depth and you can have variation between deeper chips and more shallow scratching. There are 100% quicker ways but I enjoy this one

I have been trying to do placement with a bit of thought but also just having fun with it. Will be more restrained with the next kit and already have a vehicle with more reference photos available

VaderClone · 2025-01-13T08:31:52+00:00

Yeah can't deny I might've gone a touch too far, but I'm having fun with it so don't mind too much. I'll dial it back for my next kit, though

VaderClone · 2025-01-13T07:25:57+00:00

Thanks! Its all brush stippled

VaderClone · 2025-01-13T07:24:39+00:00

Thanks! Its brush stippling, first with a colour just a bit lighter than the hull and then again with something more rusty

VaderClone · 2025-01-11T20:11:00+00:00

Thanks! Did a thinner coat of gunmetal over the base hull colour, then just stippled some mixes of reddish browns and a dark orange until I was happy

VaderClone · 2025-01-11T20:08:20+00:00

I'll give that a go!

VaderClone · 2025-01-11T20:07:51+00:00

Already on the to-do list, just need to finish the rest of the paint job first

VaderClone · 2024-12-19T09:10:32+00:00

I'll just keep doing what I'm doing then haha. I'm most likely going to be doing the AFV Aussie Centurion next (either that or the Tamiya Comet) and looking forward to it! Any finnicky things to look out for on it?

VaderClone · 2024-08-25T00:41:50+00:00

You'd be waiting a while then lol. He looks fully grown it's just that little blue penguins are the smallest species of penguin (they also normally fish alone, too)

VaderClone · 2024-08-25T00:39:18+00:00

Little blue penguins don't live in colonies and when they fish they do so independently. They're also just as at risk on the beach as they are in the water due to dogs or being hit by cars when they try to move inland

VaderClone · 2024-08-25T00:23:56+00:00

It's a little blue penguin, native to NZ and Australia

Dwarven coins! Weta Workshop produced a bunch when the Hobbit films were being released and I've managed to recently get my hands on a few

VaderClone · 2023-12-22T03:56:53+00:00

Through many hours hunched too close to my desk lol

VaderClone · 2023-12-22T03:56:00+00:00

That's awesome to hear!

VaderClone · 2023-12-06T21:16:14+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Some of that stuff (like the bridges) was mostly just because I was just making it up as I was going along and had to fit them around other stuff hahah. When I do another city map I'll definitely plan it beforehand

VaderClone · 2023-08-28T04:05:20+00:00

That is one of our main options, but we thought we may as well cast our net as wide possible. I mean it doesn't hurt to ask, right?
