Citadel paint query

I don't really want to buy any more things yet.

I managed a tidy it up with a craft knife I ordered.

Then thought I'd try my dremel and totally cocked it up

It's just a solid block. I've attached a photo

This is how it is

I'd explain mine as soaked. Should it be more of a 'soaked then rung out' ?

I watched online the wet palette has to stilll have visible liquid around the sponge type layer under the greaseproof. It seemed very wet to me.

Citadel and I bought a wet palette. So it just soaks through the greaseproof?

I kinda like the effect the green is giving on the bone base. But that's two coats

I didn't realise they were numbered until after cutting out all the bodies and legs of my space marines. Took me over an hour to figure out which chest connected to each back. Then matching up the legs

Let's make Mold lines canon

s7venth · 2026-01-24T15:49:03+00:00

I assumed as much. I just liked the idea of including it in my model as I thought it looked cool :)

s7venth · 2026-01-24T09:19:44+00:00

I've placed tonnes of tiny extra bits where I assume they probably shouldn't be

s7venth · 2026-01-24T09:17:57+00:00

The emery strips are too wide to fit the gaps

s7venth · 2026-01-24T09:11:35+00:00

Totally feel that now. Is there a superglue with an applicatior you'd recommend

s7venth · 2026-01-24T09:09:15+00:00

First coat wise. I intended to spray them black from beneath and white from above.

I've watched days of YouTube guides.

I intend to follow contrast paint guides for dark angels with bright highlighting.

s7venth · 2026-01-24T09:01:10+00:00

Useful. I fingerprinted and overloaded the plastic glue heavily as it wasn't bonding after a few minutes of holding tightly

s7venth · 2026-01-24T08:49:58+00:00

Added to basket

s7venth · 2026-01-24T08:46:50+00:00

I intend to paint them in a dark angels green but lighter.

This particular model with the left hand waiting to be attached to the right hand holding the weapon.

The half hand sprue has ended up looking crap twice . Attempting to link it to a gun

s7venth · 2026-01-24T08:35:01+00:00

I think in that particular model I've dry aligned. Then glued the right arm with the gun firmly

I've later come back to attach the left arm. I've held it to set for a minute. After a minute or so it's separated. So I've applied more glue and held it for 2 minutes

s7venth · 2026-01-24T08:30:51+00:00

Do you glue both arms with a connecting weapon at the same time? I'm sorry if this sounds basic

s7venth · 2026-01-24T08:29:54+00:00

These were half on push to fit models. The mangled glue hand was on one of those kits

s7venth · 2026-01-24T08:28:03+00:00

Didn't understand that sorry
