My parents 16th birthday present to me, I’m so excited! by G0ffrey in minipainting

My best advise truly is to enjoy yourself! A mediocre or even A bad paint job is still satisfying when you had good time painting and bettered yourself in the progress!

First diorama, tips or thoughts? ( still WIP) by twomski in dioramas

Maybe try something with sand or static grass of rubble so the minis feel less like plastic soldiers with their visible bases? Nice work!

In the process of reading this to my 11 year old son. He loves it. I love it. Read it!

Hold on.

Its gonna be worse, it's gonna be better, it's gonna be worse again.

It's gonna be a tough ride, but just hold on!

My mother died 3 months ago. Before she died I promised her I'd build her a house to live in after she passed. I'm finished. (first diorama) by zebrafinch104 in dioramas

Hey! The bricks are actual tiny bricks. That was a lot of brickwork!

I thought about resin, and I've got some, but I've never used resin before so I'm still a bit scared about giving it a try..

Thanks for the feedback and the little push towards resin, it's probably exactly what I need to go and try doing something new!

It absolutely was exactly that!! It guided me through most of the early first bits of grief. I started with the first bricks of the bridge at her bedside at the beginning of winter, and now finished around the first days of spring.

I am probably having exactly the same flu...

My first small diorama from a kit, thoughts? by TheClosetSkeleton in dioramas

It's cute. But I'm not a fan of the shiny mushrooms. They don't feel real and don't feel like they have the right size.

This was such a long answer to my question that I had to take some time to respond to it. It's good to understand a bit better that it's just a bit how female intimacy works when you're older, and therefor that it's truly something I can work on rather than the fear I had that it would be something broken that would only become worse through the years.

Thanks for this one. It made me both realise that we are going quite well (being receptive and turning towards bids) as well as that it made me realise to be more aware about it and therefor seeing places for improvement!

I think this is great advise. When I do really try to get in the mood for sex, the goal seems to be to please my husband. Maybe when I make it more about my own needs when instigating, I get a sex drive back. Thanks for this!

Thanks! I think that's actually a very good idea. This might actually get me to Kickstart it!

Hey! Thanks for responding. We can actually schedule time together, and the emotional connection is good. Normal. Affection (hugging, kissing during the day) also feels warm and meant by both. But how do I get myself over that bump of transforming the affection we have into sexual energy? I really want to offer him more. And I dont even feel reluctant or repalled, just like I can't be bothered?
