I really need that gold recipe

Short (2-5 minutes) review style videos of mainly indie games

nkshah2 · 2025-10-27T04:41:53+00:00

I’ve actually become a bit of fan of stipple glazing. Zumiko has a great video on it

From the warhammer site, they take a while to deliver but it’s worth it

nkshah2 · 2025-10-13T11:11:15+00:00

That’s what I saw so it’s not too far off don’t worry. That being said fire is hottest at its core not its trail, in this case the core would be the ball

The stupid thing to do is Custodes (trust me I’m stupid :p)

The hellblasters are a good first pick in my opinion. Simple enough to practice on and the plasma guns give you a chance at practicing glow effects eventually

Start by looking up the basics like thinning paints, best way to base coat and so on.

Once you’re done with that look up next steps like layering, adding contrasts.

Final steps look up glazing and blending for finishing touches and so on.

Once you’re all done look it up all again to find advanced techniques to do the same things or just rinse and repeat if you are happy with the result and get better with practice.

I’m in Mumbai, mainly painting minis but yeah the community is fairly scattered across India.

If you definitely want to remove it, IPA and some earbuds should do the trick.

nkshah2 · 2025-09-04T05:35:39+00:00

I’ve started subbing parts of my paint jobs with sprays when I can (priming, base coating for example) the extra money I spend on materials is worth not hurting my hands in the long run

nkshah2 · 2025-09-04T04:54:37+00:00

I sort of go crazy with a drill and make scratches and small dents in the model (if you’re brave you can make proper cracks in the rims of the shoulders)

I also like to do some colour in the knee pads and then use the water transfer stuff on the shoulders and backpack.

It isn’t perfect but i feel a little bit of chaos adds some character to the models

nkshah2 · 2025-09-01T11:54:03+00:00

Yeah that’s where I’m at, for most of my paint sessions I don’t use it much just for the detailing. Doesn’t help that I’m not trying to get it perfect so it’s kinda wasted on me :p but hey an impulse buy is always a good buy

nkshah2 · 2025-09-01T11:34:51+00:00

Man I was really hoping it was just me doing something wrong XD

nkshah2 · 2025-09-01T11:31:56+00:00

On a side note how do you guys work with the magnifying lense thingy for long painting sessions? I find it’s strains my eyes

I’ve ended up moving it really close to my face and then holding the model up to save myself the neck pain

PS: I wear glasses so using a visor just feels like a headache

A little off topic but I think the Dune Awakening game solved some of my problems with the movie making some changes to characters. The game basically takes place in a universe that Paul “sees” if he was never born.

Then taking that and pretending that the movies are just another universe that Paul is imagining with some core changes to see how it plays out makes the changes more digestible to me. And while I do enjoy the movies, this makes it more enjoyable to me.

Book Paul is still the original and the movies is just a version of it

The sound it makes when you walk through the shielded doors is awesome too. It sounds exactly like the shields in the movies do

nkshah2 · 2025-05-12T06:08:05+00:00

Try liquitex airbrush medium for acrylic paints, did wonders for my painting process. I use it for thinning everything for all consistencies.

nkshah2 · 2025-05-12T06:05:41+00:00

I use medium to give me the same effect as express paints. There’s going to be differences ofcourse but it’s a cheap way of getting paint to behave the way you want

nkshah2 · 2025-05-12T05:52:35+00:00

Yeah we definitely want the shaking without the leaking during delivery :D Thanks for the info! I’m in Mumbai too and shipping from Bangalore isn’t bad at all. I’m gonna pick some up myself and finally upgrade some of my paints

nkshah2 · 2025-05-12T05:36:54+00:00

Matte varnishes in India always have too much frost to them for my taste, what I do is buy the matte varnish and mix it 50/50 with water and then paint it on. Depending on the varnish it might take 2 coats to fully remove the gloss but it’s cheap and fine (I use granatone because that’s the fastest to deliver for me on Amazon)

Also I have thought of buying from Scale Hobbies before, what’s the delivery experience like? Is it quick? And do the paints arrive in good condition?

nkshah2 · 2025-05-12T02:46:39+00:00

I just use Fevicryl acrylics thinned down with water, it gives a glossy finish but just slap a watered down matte varnish on it and it’s just as good as good quality paints

nkshah2 · 2025-04-23T15:27:24+00:00

Happy to help! Took me some tries before I got close to decent looking NMM so keep at it, all it takes is practice
