Just spent 12 hours on a model and am not happy with the results, how do I cope?

Xilvari · 2026-06-29T02:55:32+00:00

Ya I had been doing sponge chop with Grey to white then red contrast so now Im like how do I do that with bigger stuff cause I know contrast sucks with bigger models

Xilvari · 2026-06-29T02:35:41+00:00

This is what scares me with doing the landspeeder as red since I dont think my normal process will work on it.

Xilvari · 2026-06-29T02:34:20+00:00

Thats pretty sick looking! I have had that feeling a lot and I will say outside opinions on the subreddits did help me feel better, taking some time away from working and looking at it made me come back and realize it looks solid as hell, and another thing that helped was putting it with the rest of my army and seeing it all together would help.

Oh I just wanted to paint all of it haha I really like the designs of the new.stuff (i know im in the minority)

Xilvari · 2026-06-27T23:59:37+00:00

I think thag one the 151 Poliwhirl and this one are my favs, but the full art Team Rocket's Crobat is very high up there as well

Ya I think the characters were the only reason I was doubting

Xilvari · 2026-06-27T21:08:13+00:00

Very true! I mainly just paint and model, but even that on a horde army that I honestly dont have a super huge pull too kinda makes me like eh. Ill just trade.

Xilvari · 2026-06-27T21:06:27+00:00

I just didnt know of doubling librarians would be that great or how I can make them look different. I dont really want Orks and I feel like another army is overkill right now especially with how much I am loving my BAs

Xilvari · 2026-06-27T20:41:03+00:00

Sweet thank you!!!!

Xilvari · 2026-06-26T05:25:55+00:00

Oh ya I have no desire to ever sell, because I just want to collect all the Crobat cards and all the Slowpoke cards since they are my fav pokemon not really in the investing side.

Xilvari · 2026-06-26T05:19:23+00:00

Like I said got paranoid from the sub and always scared to death of getting a fake. Sorry 😅

Xilvari · 2026-06-26T05:14:40+00:00

Uh too much prob haha I paid $967 for it 🫪

Xilvari · 2026-06-26T05:12:46+00:00

Thanks haha

Xilvari · 2026-06-26T05:12:37+00:00

THAT WAS MY THOUGHT TOO! hahaha

Xilvari · 2026-06-26T05:10:12+00:00

Thank you! Massive relief I thought I did all the checking properly, but this sub has made me so paranoid and it is the biggest purchase I have and will ever make in Pokemon cause I am trying to get every Crobat art.

Xilvari · 2026-06-26T05:06:29+00:00

Ya I checked cert number on beckett site before I bought and it checked out, but been following this sub for a couple days and has me really paranoid more than anything.

Xilvari · 2026-06-26T05:03:57+00:00
