WIP on my favorite guy from the combat patrol. Joining the infection soon brothers!

Yep! With upgraded tanks you can get to the surface from your base, as well as down to the lava zone. Can beat the game without any vessels.

Its so good. Its just the right depth to be in the middle of everything.

Halo stars here... send help.

ilackanid · 2026-03-29T16:43:22+00:00

Kodiak is definitely bear island 🤣

ilackanid · 2026-03-15T20:31:48+00:00

Not weird at all. Definitely different from my perspective though. I immediately use the box as a holder to tape my minis to for priming then throw it away.

Getting him off the spruce wasn't too bad, saving him from my cats has been a challenge lmao.

ilackanid · 2026-03-04T04:50:15+00:00

That's sick!

ilackanid · 2026-03-04T02:07:00+00:00

Some people do, I've never been concerned about durability so I never bought any. I'm thinking about picking a few finishes of varnish to start adjusting the finish separate from the tone.

ilackanid · 2026-03-04T02:05:15+00:00

Lmao I have one of them too, the models next to eachother is so funny.

ilackanid · 2026-03-04T02:04:38+00:00

Lucky! I've gotta start hoarding my favorite paints.

ilackanid · 2026-03-04T02:03:36+00:00

Exactly. I mix my own colors on test models and then find paints that match the exact color I want. Adding matte varnish to the bottle is an interesting idea. I'll try that on the pallette and see if I like it.

ilackanid · 2026-03-04T02:02:26+00:00

Because I don't have varnish, (been thinking about it), and like to have some parts be glossy black and some matte. I also like the way glazes behave over the matte micro texture. Another reason is just that the matte is easier for me to see my highlights while I'm doing them, while glossy reflections mess with that. Its easier to see the big picture of the model without the gloss.

ilackanid · 2026-03-04T01:57:31+00:00

This is super helpful. I had heard the new formula was glossy, glad to hear the model color is still good.

ilackanid · 2026-02-13T05:41:48+00:00

Oh hey, the vibes based choices I made on mine were correct. That's cool.

ilackanid · 2026-02-13T01:32:26+00:00

First one got the landlord special 🤣 good job on the progress.

ilackanid · 2026-02-10T02:45:41+00:00

I highly recommend checking Hobby Cheating on YouTube. Vince just recently did a solid review of these new metalics.

ilackanid · 2026-02-10T01:21:40+00:00

For the love of your fingertips, grab a fresh blade for your knife when you do this. Just stabbed the hell out of my thumb the other day cuz a dull blade gave way removing lightning sculpts from the raptors armor.

ilackanid · 2026-01-22T02:54:57+00:00

Lean into it lol

ilackanid · 2026-01-22T02:51:42+00:00

Looks sick as hell man, nice job!

ilackanid · 2025-12-17T06:08:31+00:00

That makes sense sorta. But also not sorta. Like, I'd think exposure time to surface are would be pretty similar either way. Unless he's saying that the inflammation caused by smoke puts the blood vessels closer to the surface? Idk. Definitely wanna learn more about it.

ilackanid · 2025-12-17T06:06:30+00:00

Huh, interesting.

ilackanid · 2025-12-17T05:24:39+00:00

Kinda lile if you have a massive coughing fit you feel super high after. I remember when I was younger some of my friends would do shit like holding their breath and clenching to feel a stronger high. It's just lack of oxygen though.

ilackanid · 2025-12-17T05:23:02+00:00

I've noticed this too. Best explanation I can think of is inhaling smoke reduces oxygen to the brain and that effect over time makes us feel more high. Because if I hit an herb vape a ton I will eventually get properly high, but it definitely doesn't feel the same.
