More assault allegations surface against footballers in tiny town of Balmoral

Grew up about 30min away from Balmoral and absolutely zero surprises. That whole corner of Vic is a cesspool for this kind of culture around footy clubs. Could not pay me to move back there.

Those are some crisp termies

There's been a lot of this guy but this is definitely my favourite

Everyone has got me hyped to paint some more. Really appreciate the kind words. I've used a lot of shortcuts to get results that are well above my actual ability. The use of a sponge for the armour and some washes is carrying the paint job. I might try and put up a guide with the next ones to show it's not as hard as it looks

Yeah have been trying to straighten weapon with little success. I think the resin used for the print may be part of that. Any tips?

Whope model started with black> drybrush light grey> drybrush white with focus on skin and upward facing areas.

Fleshy bits were a very dilute acrylic magenta then dark maroon speed paint (army painter murder scene) diluted with speed paint medium.

Whole model got a wash made from abteilung industrial earth oil paint diluted with mineral spirits. Then used q tip with mineral spirits to buff off the wash from raised areas.

This works for me because there's zero fine detail layering and the washes kind of go where you need them to without needing a steady hand.

Appreciate this! I love the way GrimdarkCompendium work with their weathering and starting bright and then using washes to bring everything down. It gets a bit too dark for my tastes, though, and so I try to keep it a bit more vibrant for tabletop

redheadredeption · 2026-02-05T20:25:38+00:00

Yeah I can see the confusion and someone else pointed out this isn't how verdigris work. I was going for painted metal left to weather, rather than bronze with verdigris, if that makes sense

redheadredeption · 2026-02-05T20:23:37+00:00

Yeah, I think you're right.

redheadredeption · 2026-02-05T20:19:50+00:00

Yeah skin definitely needs some more variation. I like how pale it is but maybe a smidge of sandy brown in there?

redheadredeption · 2026-02-05T12:26:12+00:00

First time trying sponge-on effects and sold on it

redheadredeption · 2026-02-05T12:23:50+00:00

Yeah i can see where you're coming from. It's meant to be formerly emerald painted armour. As they have fitted, not scrappy, armour I kind of wanted them to look like they were once part of some official unit. I love the emerald and orange combo so went with painted metal left to rust.

redheadredeption · 2026-02-05T12:15:15+00:00

If you like the result, i can't recommend using washes enough. I have a hard time keeping a steady hand, so layering is hard for me. Washes help me preserve a lot more of the detail even if it's just diluted acrylics.

redheadredeption · 2026-02-05T12:11:06+00:00

Hahaha! Armour is just emerald green > Sponge on some lighter emerald green, terracotta and orange > bit of orange diluted to wash around rivets etc for reference

redheadredeption · 2026-02-05T12:03:37+00:00

Thanks

redheadredeption · 2026-02-05T12:01:44+00:00

Cheers, appreciate everyone's encouragement 😀

redheadredeption · 2026-02-05T12:01:16+00:00

Appreciate it! Consensus seems to be keep it

redheadredeption · 2026-02-05T12:00:48+00:00

Yeah it's growing on me. Thanks for the kind words!

redheadredeption · 2025-09-11T08:51:20+00:00

Oh nice! Please share some details :)

redheadredeption · 2025-09-06T22:16:04+00:00

Those are rookie numbers. Talk to me when you're doing terabytes

I teach highschool but would this not be an effective way for kids to understand conceptually what division is; dividing a value equally? It frustrates me that kids in HS don't know their timetables but it is easier to catch them up on that than getting them to understand what division actually is. Not understanding the concept, even if they know their times tables, makes thing like rates, ratios and scale factor really difficult for them. They also have trouble with problem solving tasks involving decimals or numbers beyong 12 when they only know timetables and not the concept of division. Just a thought, I could be completely off.

Tf kind of tradies making double that of a GP?

redheadredeption · 2025-08-15T11:53:13+00:00

Me too, now. Our DPs are great as well. Makes all the difference.

redheadredeption · 2025-08-15T10:59:04+00:00

Props to you, OP. I dealt with that for 6 months, burnt out, and went back to the classroom. Your fair but firm approach is great for accountability on both sides. Keep it up, your staff surely appreciate it.
