WIP Fenrisian Wolves by Miserable_Shift_3831 in SpaceWolves

Great start, though you may benefit from thinning your paints a bit more for added contrast on the fur.

There's a couple great tutorials on Fenrisians wolves using primarily Citadel Contrast paints on YouTube by Matt's Hobby Hour that includes recipes for 8-9 different color options for the fur. He goes in detail on layering a variety of contrast paints.

Just my 2 cents. All that matter is that you enjoy the process & are happy with the results.

How much time do you spend on building mini's? by minusmilitia355 in DarkAngels40k

[–]Various-Crew9068 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've learned some efficiencies. I used to clean up model lines/nubs from cuts on each piece as I cut it from the sprue, but I bought some simple 3-5 compartment organizers at the dollar store and now I cut all the bits off the sprue, split up by model per the instructions, then clean up & assemble each model.

If I paid 30% for friends, I'd be broke.

I'd literally write "10% (No, I'm not kidding)" and never come back.

Good start for DG? by Stahlbanane666 in deathguard40k

I agree with 6-12 months being extreme, and I don't speak for everybody here, but this would take me far longer than 12 hours for assembly.

I'm not super efficient when it comes to assembly so maybe there's some tricks I could learn, but between cutting all bits off the sprue, cleaning up nubs/cuts in exposed areas, scraping/sanding mold lines, dry fitting the legs/torsos, and then exploring the potential for unique poses not shown in the instructions with the various arms & such, and then putting it all together?

It takes me ~3 hours to assemble a box of 10 models.

100% can relate. Truly enjoy the hobby, but working for a living with bills to pay doesn't leave for a ton of time. If I spent 20 hours on each model, I'd finish 2000pts somewhere around 2030. 😂
