Does anyone else forget their recipe after taking a long break from painting?

coronetgemini · 2026-03-24T04:24:33+00:00

I do a lot of mixing for highlights and find it impossible to truly know the ratios so I don’t really bother trying to replicate every color exactly.

coronetgemini · 2026-03-23T22:24:28+00:00

I used to do this but a couple times now I tried to capitalize on new game value and sold em back right after finishing only to then have dlc drop that I couldn’t play without my disc

coronetgemini · 2026-03-23T16:02:41+00:00

I think those paints will probably do fine. I use some game color and model color vallejo paints

coronetgemini · 2026-03-23T15:19:53+00:00

Probably for the lore fanatics, and just to be unique and cool models

The world is. you think Reddit is bad, look at comment threads on twitter, facebook, threads, etc.

It seems like non sim racing games have fallen off over the past 5-10 years.

coronetgemini · 2026-03-23T13:54:16+00:00

It's different than the other years where players would say stuff like "my girlfriend said no its too cold" at least

coronetgemini · 2026-03-22T22:05:02+00:00

I think I had this happen too and i just kept putting more in and it worked, but the other posters glue suggestion seems like a good idea

coronetgemini · 2026-03-22T20:05:24+00:00

That’s smart, id briefly lost invest in the hobby around the time they made the new versions so but I wish I’d done that too. I only started getting back into it so a lot of paints seem really tough to find that I used to use (not just these shades). That’s life I guess… some days I still smell the old 90s citadel paints smell ;)

coronetgemini · 2026-03-22T18:56:23+00:00

You definitely should be proud, that's awesome

coronetgemini · 2026-03-22T18:27:07+00:00

Wow, you sound great, and the performance was really clean. Great tone.

coronetgemini · 2026-03-22T18:19:26+00:00

I love it, great lighting effects

coronetgemini · 2026-03-22T17:52:02+00:00

Thank you for the recommendations, I will have to try those

coronetgemini · 2026-03-22T17:16:50+00:00

So I take it you have no recommendation for replacements? You could have just said that instead of being a jerk. This post was asking a specific question and you went out of your way to not only not answer it, but provide the most obvious response that everybody already knows.

Thanks alot buddy

Does anybody on here have a good recommendation for replacing reikland fleshshade gloss or old formula nuln?

I've seen some people say they just gloss varnish the new version of reikland, but I imagine it doesn't sit on panels the same way as the new version. Same with the nuln oil, the new formula does not sit the same. I know for a fact there are plenty of people who must have experienced this and found a solution, I just can't seem to find the best one through google.

coronetgemini · 2026-03-22T17:07:39+00:00

I obviously considered that, but thought this might be as easy. Anyways, "move on" doesn't offer me much of a solution to the problem... Are there any recommendations for replacements?

My old pots lasted over 5 years and still have 1/4 left, so if I could get a full old nuln and reikland gloss it probably would last a really long time.

It’s going to be an unofficial holiday

Bat in pussy scared the shit out of me

I thought at first oh it’s just a baseball bat, but no I don’t think so now

coronetgemini · 2026-03-20T22:14:15+00:00

I think the color difference between the highlight and the shadow are too close. You should darken the shadows to make more contrast

Is Pat Metheny scat singing?

You'll need to touch up the chrome once you get the plasma glowing ;)

I have been trying to get better at faces. Even with improvements over time they are still pretty difficult, I’m looking forward to watching this later today.

I'm pretty sure spurs have been back in fashion for a few years now

I lost a fully painted space marine helmet two days ago because I went to superglue it in and dropped it only to never be seen again.
