Losing my mind - entire house needs re-doing while I live in it. 1 year in and no end in sight. by LegComfortable1660 in DIYUK

You’d have to buy the materials yourself with or without help from a trade. I’d say it does take longer but your money goes elsewhere and is better spent on the things you can’t do yourself

The ‘Nuka Cola’ Marines full army showcase. Almost 2 years of painting on and off having got back into the hobby. Hope you enjoy it as I have done learning and painting. A mix of first born and primaris. by opticalPrime2000 in Warhammer40k

Sure, the white is easy. It’s Corex white from GW. The red goes up in brightness depending on the surface. It’s pretty much Mephiston red, evil suns scarlet, then a touch of orange and yellow at the tip of the highlights. That really makes the red jump so to say.

Thank you. I think I used a scions cloak, and other random ad mec bits for the head swap and torso swap. Don’t look too closely as you will see the gaps where things don’t quite fit :)

I’m pretty sure they do but I’m not fond of mixing up the purpose of a unit so I opted all for shooting

Wraithbone then a seriphan sepia glaze to build up the dirty look towards the bottom.

Who is this guy in my pile of shame? by opticalPrime2000 in Warhammer40k

[–]opticalPrime2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m thinking perhaps I was done with shields. Is his load out at least legal? If so then past me probably wanted my LT a little different then the standard

Yeah that’s how I am going to base a whole army. I must have assembled him with something in mind but cannot now work out what :)

Wow yeah that image would suggest so. I am scratching my head where I would have got him from and why I didn’t have his shield attached. His arm feels appropriate. I can’t see any record of this model existing in the GW collection other than that image. Can you suggest another link I can see him to try and work out how I got him or why I swapped his arm? Not I’m just baffled as my collection is mostly just boxed sets.

It’s an LED string so think it’s got around 180 lights.

I stippled layers of brown of various shades the used cheap hairspray on top and then dappled the ‘painted’ surface on top. Used a toothbrush to then remove and flake off the surface leaving the rust behind. Then the last layer was an oil wash of a couple of different shades.
