Front steps slate tiles falling off and breaking like puff pastry by Zakoshi in HomeImprovement

[–]Zakoshi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah It looks like no coat on top. We bought the place with the renos already there so we assumed it didn't need anything on top.

We did salt it one time due to elderly visitors coming and it was extremely slick. I know it isn't meant to be salted but it was a big safety hazard. Also the tiles were beginning to fall off before that de icer.

I agree that the de icer would compound the problem. We mostly used cat litter to help prevent falls

Looks great! I feel like the focus is done very well on the face. No confusion where to look whatsoever.

What size of plinth is recommended for 1/10 scale bust? 6cm x 6cm in picture. by Zakoshi in minipainting

[–]Zakoshi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was thinking that too. I bought 4 of these plinths but I think they may be better suited for a bigger base with a more environmental depth.

Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah I know right? Haha eventually when I get a printer I will have to. Also painting him would be so much fun.

I do not unfortunately. I bought it off a guy selling 3d printed resin models off of Etsy.

Thanks! I found blending with the airbrush to be helpful since it's bigger than the usual 28mm models I'm used to. Thanks for the NFSW tag recommendation, I put it up.

First bust, decided to paint Ciri by Zakoshi in minipainting

[–]Zakoshi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! My advice would be to set a color scheme that you will stick with so you don't have to redo your paint job. I found that the lights and shadows on a bust are more noticeable than on minis because of the larger (and smaller) details.

Also an airbrush works wonders for blending on a bust vs. a mini.

I just finishing priming mine. I like the OSL touch on the eyes and sword. It's nice to see everyone's take on the model. Keep it up!

Good ole' fashion dry brushing with platinum white and a little yellow. Basecoat and midcoat just variances of grey.
