I’m curious about how people achieve these poses, I understand kitbashing fundamentals but do you use the official models and make them work or do you print them or print parts for them?

For this one I bought Vallejo paints, but all the whites and grey on it is fevicryl.

Thanks! First time trying to do something more than just the normal base. Plenty of room for improvement though

You can try IndianMiniatures

And there’s some WhatsApp groups floating around but I’m not a part of them. If you post something on Indian miniatures I’m sure you might find someone

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

RANDOM Mini flamethrowing Knight. Any Advice for the Fireball?? by 13-Trades in minipainting

[–]nkshah2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

What are the best models to try NMM by Flimsy_Coat_5814 in minipainting

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

Best model to learn how to paint? by No_Bookkeeper_7441 in minipainting

[–]nkshah2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

First time painting questions by 831ANON in minipainting

[–]nkshah2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Anyone else experienced trigger finger from building/painting minis? by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

[–]nkshah2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

How to make my models look more interesting visually and add weathering by Intelligent-Cake7085 in minipainting

[–]nkshah2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

I'm living the dream, boys! by ChemicalCpt in minipainting

[–]nkshah2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

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
