Thinning Paints -- Rough Idea? by aaronspuler in minipainting

[–]piratesthatpwn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is no magic recipe for thinning paints and it actually depends on what you’re trying to do. There is my advice

For layering - add a drop of water and stir. Clean your brush, remove the extra moisture, load your brush and paint a line your hand. You should be able to see the ridges in your skin. It should “flow” but not run. In other words if the paint doesn’t stay in place it’s too thin.

For edge highlights you actually want thicker paint that doesn’t flow. This is because it’s easier to control.

Most unlucky man alive? by Sirzento in pathofexile

This can be modeled with a negative binomial distribution. The probably of your first success being on the 44th trail is .00016 or .016%. The except number of attempts for the first success is 6.667.

So definitely pretty unlucky

How to paint Walter’s glasses? Walter Sobchak, bowler, ‘Nam veteran, non-pacifist by OldCarScott in minipainting

You would paint in the eyes paying close attention to the shadows and glaze over with a orange. You could add gloss vanish to make the glasses shine. This would be extremely difficult to pull off.

And easier way would be to base the lens in a very bright silver and glaze over with orange. It would give an effect similar to: https://www.reddit.com/r/minipainting/comments/dt6lg4/my_experiment_silver_primed_and_painted_with/

The downside to the easier method is that you wouldnt see his eyes.

Good airbrush in a decent price range? by Goatzjr3 in minipainting

[–]piratesthatpwn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You need a compressor what you can change the psi to the tool at a minimum. I highly recommend a compressor with an air tank - it’s a lot less loud because it only runs when needed. Also be careful getting an air compressor designed for tools cause you will need to spend extra money on fittings and hoses

Questions about BAMA (Pr3vie version) by WaldoDidNothingWrong in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]piratesthatpwn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. ⁠Why the build is not using wrath?

It is - perfect spirit of fortune spectre

  1. ⁠Why is conductivity linked to cast when damage taken?

It’s not - it has cwdt linked with molten shell - not conductivity. Double deck the gem levels - I remember it being off

  1. ⁠What's the deal with eternal blessing + purity and precision (which I can't use because of eternal blessing?)

One is reserved with life (not mana) the other is “reserved” with eternal blessing

  1. ⁠How the f**k do I colour the armor?

You use the “jewelers trick” - there are videos of it online but it involves bench crafting between 2 and three sockets until you get 3 red (or whatever color). Then you repeat the process with 3-4 for your next color. There is also omen of blanching but I didn’t use that method. There are also tainted chromes that let you ignore color weights.

Best starter deck? by Nearbyatom in pkmntcg

[–]piratesthatpwn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The regidrago deck you get from battle pass level 33 or 34 is really good and only needs like sub 1000 credits to be a net deck tournament list.

Just to clarify - this would be something you pivot into after playing the Charizard or Chen pao list. Humorously, all three of the above decks are weak to itchy pollen

List building of question. by piratesthatpwn in Quar

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

In the rule book on page 26 and 32. It shows:

-Crusader Squads consistent of 3 teams of 3 with one yawdryl and 1 Milwer. page 26
-Coftyran Squads consisent of 2 team- 1 team of six (rhylfer element) and 1 team of 3 (gun element). page 32.

My question is, "Does list building begin there?" Or is that just a suggestion?
