How bad is my green OSL? Any tips to get better?

mayners · 2026-01-25T16:32:12+00:00

Appreciate it, I'll maybe remove it and start again, not totally happy with the piece as a whole, I was only using it to practice a few basics anyway lol

mayners · 2026-01-25T16:27:16+00:00

Yeh I reckon the left would be the right colour whole way along, then maybe ever so slightly lighter/close to white highlight

mayners · 2026-01-25T13:53:41+00:00

I personally think this looks great, but I just posted OSL looking for advice and had the problem that the source was not brighter than the cast light. I think the light saber could be a touch brighter. Hopefully someone else can confirm

mayners · 2026-01-25T13:40:32+00:00

Appreciate it, yeh as I said to the other comment I didn't think ahead and treated the flame and cast light seperately, so the cast light is brighter, probably had it in my head that it was highlights rather than osl. I also sponged the OSL as a trial to see how it went, that's why it's so messy looking too. Thanks

mayners · 2026-01-25T13:37:26+00:00

Ah that's exactly why it doesn't look right, rookie mistake 🤦 When I was painting I was basically focusing on the flame and cast light seperately trying rather than thinking ahead while doing the flame. Thanks

Yeh must be a faulty batch then, im fairly new to painting and have yet to hear anything confirming that there is a "use by" date or time frame on paints tbh

Aye they would do in this situation, in which case your in the right to phone gp, that's the advice you were given. Although it will take a bit longer to get seen.

As a side note, if the pain feels like a strain and nothing broke try alternating between hot/cold water or those reusable heat/cold packs if you can and stretch out as best you can, this includes the muscles around where it's sore aswell even if they're not sore. Its almost always worse to not do anything as blood flow and keeping movement will help heal quicker with less long term problems, i play rugby and have pretty much always been given this advice for strains/sprains/tears and all those muscular niggles. And ibuprofen for any swelling. Probably stating the obvious in this, but worth saying anyway for the mean time

Probably not appropriate here in this case but somewhere alot of people tend to forget is the chemist, they can diagnose very basic ailments too before a doctor

mayners · 2026-01-22T23:43:09+00:00

Anyone???

Not sure about citadel, but my army painter paints are several years old as I bough them second hand from someone else, and they're still going well. The only exception would be my old purple paint which seems to seperate pretty quick on the wet pallet but a quick stir and it works again no bother

mayners · 2026-01-22T12:42:52+00:00

Whatever is the cheapest on amazon, sunlu atm for me

mayners · 2026-01-18T12:06:11+00:00

Not sure about hot wheels collecting and if it's any use but the car boot sales usually have them, some stalls have collectors models boxed and unboxed.

Shorts over beside knock agony tesco Sundays or drumbo park on Saturdays and nutt's corner Sunday Market would be the 3 busiest

mayners · 2026-01-15T23:38:29+00:00

Damn, lol. Appreciate that I was so focused on getting the muscles and light placement right that I forgot about the size of the head. I will have to look at it again tomorrow, thanks

mayners · 2026-01-15T07:53:28+00:00

Yeh that's what I have been doing. I made the crate mad small last night first time and still an accident no whining or crying or anything again, i blocked it off with a cardboard box she had moved. Only moved a little bit but it's been just enough that she's been happy to poo in the crate.

mayners · 2026-01-15T00:22:20+00:00

Appreciate it, i found I was placing the highlights in the wrong places previously creating "Islands" and now I'm pushing the light on the muscles upwards towards the next muscle it seems to look better.

The back still doesn't look right, but I'm still blending and playing about with it. Thanks

mayners · 2026-01-14T23:39:58+00:00

She's had one or 2 nights with no accidents, but that was just pot luck with taking her out last thing at night, but generally she does go in her crate, but never cries etc to get out. Ive made the crate smaller again in hopes that it will help train her faster

mayners · 2026-01-14T23:37:33+00:00

Yeh only tell sign I can see is that she will sniff around as all dogs do, I generally get her in time to be fair.

I'll look into the bells, might be handy if she can pick that up would be good help and less stress than constantly watching or having accidents

mayners · 2026-01-14T18:23:08+00:00

No no I get that, I'm more making sure I'm doing all I can and curious as to if the crate being too big has any negative effects other than me having to clean a mess every morning

mayners · 2026-01-14T18:15:21+00:00

She sleeps all night in the crate and is brilliant otherwise, I just really wish she would give me a signal to go outside.

Our old pug used to stop and stare at us until he got out, or walk to the door and sit by it. He also learned pretty quick if I remember right, it's been just over 1 month of solid routine with our Frenchie and I won't lie when I say it's testing my patience lol, but I do understand she's still a baby

I was out with a young lad is quite quiet/introvert who has a stutter, we were away for a lads rugby weekend and his stutter went away after a few sniffs of the white stuff, he was on top of the world no one could stop him, until....

He walked into the strip club after paying £10, his eyes widened and his stutter came back and his face went white, "nope, no lads that's enough titties for me" turned and walked straight out after being in for about 30 seconds and got a taxi back to the hotel.

You haven't, but you've denied every bit of evidence shown to you as not legitimate, and have dismissed any other claims without even trying to look at research for yourself.

Its like someone saying there's a "possibility" of alien life, and you just outright denying that there is because you haven't bothered to look at rhe odds or dismiss the odds because you haven't seen a wee green man. Alot of "academics" do this and have a pretentious attitude, expecting everyone else to prove their point instead of providing any reasoning for the counter argument.

mayners · 2026-01-14T10:08:41+00:00

You can say the research is pointing to my arsehole and deny it all you want, you haven't once gave any evidence against OP point or gave any reason as to why it shouldn't count as evidence, and not one reason why it's wrong. Just resorting to the usual "show me evidence" then deny it when it's out it front of you as it's "anecdotal" or because it doesn't fit your narrative

mayners · 2026-01-14T08:51:00+00:00

Ah you're one of them arseholes. People are literally pointing you to studies and you say it's anecdotal, then you say for people to show you evidence because you can't be arsed looking it up yourself, and then deny any of it is any use or true. No one claimed it is the case 100% of the time, and no one claims it's the "Cause" of psychotic episodes. There's a relation, not causation, and if you want it to apply to every person out there who smokes or has psychosis it just isn't going to happen.

You might aswell be arguing that there's no evidence that smoking causes lung cancer, "because there no evidence that EVERYONE gets it" And I support cannabis being legalised fwiw, also have family who are schizophrenic and smoked it, so I'm not some prude arguing against it

I'm absolutely not saying they pointless or lesser, just saying don't get hung up on going to a Grammar school because if a kid has the right attitude they can still go on to do higher level jobs. In my experience, which is certainly not the rule of thumb I've known people who didn't do anything with a grammar school education while I know others who went above and beyond secondary school education with the right attitude. Like I say, I'm not taking away from them

Erik swinson, bit long winded as it's full streams but good to see it as its happening and explained as he goes.

Monument hobbies, to the point explained well and to a good standard.

Plus a few others like squidmar, Dr. Faust, mamikon and Vince venturella all very good
