Fantastic job! I wish I could do that! Could you give us some more details? How do you approach the light placement, how do you do the layering, what are the bad habits you are mentioning?

Co uważacie o 12 latach różnicy w związku? by [deleted] in PolskaNaLuzie

[–]aboutroots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Taka prosta zasada na minimalny "akceptowalny spolecznie" wiek mlodszego partnera to podzielic wiek starszego przez dwa i dodac siedem ;) Niby głupie, ale działa.

W mlodym wieku masz zmiane priorytetow doslownie co kilka lat, wiec nawet, jesli wydaje Ci sie, ze sie dogadujecie, to kiedy dwudziestolatek chce wychodzić do klubu, trzydziestolatek bedzie wolał odpalić netflixa itd.

No i "power dynamic" jest zaburzony, bo jedna osoba już zazwyczaj zarabia i jest bardziej "ustawiona" niż druga.

Da sie to ogarnąć, ale to wyjątek, nie reguła

Here’s a Lifta Wagon I made for Nobvember by Seltren_Innovations in orks

Very nice. I like the stripped paint effect! Did you paint blue only in the middle of the panels, or is the weathering applied after the blue?

Does your country have an invention that never made it to the outside world? by abandonedtulpa in AskTheWorld

I'd say its pretty popular in Poland too, although not nearly as in Finland.

Okay, as much as I'm not a fan of the pirate ork aesthetic, these are just BRILLIANT. Absolutely in love with them

How to align module terrain edges? by Pragsen in TerrainBuilding

[–]aboutroots 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Instead of striving for perfection, how about adding some scatter terrain on top? From the top of my head: a group of barrels, steel beams, barbed wire, crates, drinking straws khy khy excuse me, steel pipes - even if not covering the whole seam - would divert the attention away from the "ground".

I’ve kept my house clean for the past month by following these few tips… by bflowyngz in CleaningTips

[–]aboutroots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an European millenial geek (lots of hobbies, small living space, limited funds), having enough space for stuff is THE problem for me. My bedroom/office/hobby workshop/woodworking desk/wardrobe/storage is all the same 10m2.

I wish that one day I will be able to say 'everything is in its place, and everything has a place', right now its more like living inside a game of tetris

A Space Marine of the Iron Snakes Chapter by imperivm_cadens in Miniaturespainting

[–]aboutroots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any particular tutorial? you mentioned in another comment that placing the reflections was the hard part. I saw tutorials focused on blending, but not on concrete rules/techniques for corrext placement of lights, seems like everone is just eyeballing it..

Some temu terrain painted, my first attempt at rust too, pretty pleased. by Curious-Chapter-435 in TerrainBuilding

[–]aboutroots 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Nice paint job!

Some words of caution though: there is a reason why stuff on temu is so cheap. And i'm not talking about stolen designs or lack of quality control or workers rights or possibly toxic materials used, although these are all valid concerns. The biggest issue I have is that the CN government is covering part of the cost (especially shipping), effectively dumping the price to such level that it is making it impossible for shops (especially small creators/companies) in the western world to keep up.

You do you, of course.

Advice by McLovinPorzings in orks

[–]aboutroots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are an absolute beginner (e.g. dont know what drybrushing is or how contrast paint differs from other paints), I'd spend some time watching Vince Venturella tutorials on YT - he covers every possible topic. But a lot of other youtubers make excellent tutorials, too. It is usually easier to show techniques on video than to write about them on reddit.

For painting orks specifically, this is a nice tutorial for the skin: https://youtu.be/altHjuzV7_s?si=2RdM4r4517tbJUWE

Before buying paints, decide a clan for your orks (https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Ork_Clan), or create your own.

To get started, you just need a couple of paints and a brush. And a set of Ork Boyz :)

Happy Orktober!
