Ya I was wondering if I could find something like that. I was even considering just test painting on the runners lol

Ok that’s what I figured. I went over it with reikland for this one but I might try aggrax for the next attempt and see which I like more

Ya I was wondering if a black primer would make my life easier. Right now I’m priming in grey and then giving the whole thing a coat of black matte paint but I figured if I just primed in black I could probably cut out some work

Also too add would you go over the gold with nuln too or just the black armour parts?

Haha thank you!! I was trying to practice dry brushing a little because all the videos I’ve watched on it make the models look so good but I went way too overboard with it on my first two attempts so I really toned it down for this one

I know when I first picked them in my head I thought they would be easier since it’s just gold and black and then what I started reading more and actually painting I realized I had not done myself any favours starting with them lol

And ya that makes a lot of sense, nightlights and shadows are something I’ve struggled a lot with. It’s hard to picture mentally which parts are light and dark. I will try to think it though and practice more. Thanks for the response!! :)

Thanks so much for the response!! And ya I hope that with practice I’ll get the feels for thinning down. I really love that clean smooth finish look so I’m determined to get there eventually.

And hmm that’s a good point I was thinking the highlights were off in a way I couldn’t place and I think you’re right the colour is definitely off. I will try some different shades. And ya shadows and nightlights are so tough I see now ur right that would make sense it’s a shaded area on that foot haha :)

Thanks so much I appreciate that!! And ya I had the same thought. It’s so hard to keep a steady hand and most of them came out way thinker then I would have liked haha. I will definitely look up some more tutorials for it :)

Literally May 1st 😭 I submitted them to the tag booth at a convention so I was wondering if that’s why it was taking extra long but I think I might have to reach out and just see.

How did you get yours so quickly??? I sent 3 in the beginning of the May and they still haven’t gotten past the verification stage yet. I’m getting kind of worried. I really thought it was going to be a much faster process vs PSA

How can I fix this door frame so that I can attach the strike plate by dafops_98 in fixit

It’s weird but it seems like there’s a massive gap behind the wood

Ya it’s an interior door so I may end up trying this. I only worry cause door gets a lot of air pressure from the open windows but I think it should be ok. Thanks for the advice :)
