Thank you Graishak! I actually do plan on putting gloss varnish over the eyes

That sucks, hope you feel better soon (although I guess it is semi good news finding out you already had Covid and it didn't affect you).

And a slight update. Pretty happy with the skin and eyes now so will probably leave those alone unless I overwork them and ruin it. Now I am trying to get the clothing bits done up and not sure if...

Nice start on the halfling BB figure.

Great shots of your amazing work on the Inquisitor band! Holy Moly! Love that crusted corrosion on their weapons!

Sorry to hear that Timmy was beheaded and missing body parts. Now you will have to paint the AB cover to look like a chaos alter (maybe red and black with the eight pointed star) and and you can say...

Really nice work on this bust, sorry to hear about the ear piece. The replacement looks pretty good, but can understand you want another since it is a little bigger than the original. Hopefully you...

Sucks that you have to strip the figure, but understand if you can't easily and/or cheaply get a replacement. Best of luck with removing the paint. I will be interested in seeing what the figure...

Much appreciated Gorb, Kallfa, and BAM!

@Gorb, first time with a darker skin tone myself, so yeah just kind of free-wheeling it. I think it turned out respectively well though especially for a...

just some phenomenal work on Conan. The leather looks amazing

That is a beautiful sculpt. Can't wait to see the magic you bring to those wings (and the bust) with your painting style

Just realized this was a CMON game. You may want to try to contact them directly and see if they will tell you what the material is

Really great work on the Blightlord and his steed. Looks like you are really enjoying painting up all the Nurgle figures

Thank you kindly BAM! So decided I am going to try to do hazelish eyes and put down a layer of pale green. I think I have more issues with larger scale figures eyes (than 28-32mm figures) since...

Not an expert on it, but if it is super glue (or any other CA glue) putting it in the freezer should weaken the bond enough that you could twist it off, however if there are other parts glues it is...

Thanks Graishak! Roughed in the black for the eyes (looks much better with pupils starting to take shape), put some pink in the lower part of the eye, and started on the lips. Still not sure if I...

That does look like a lot of work, but well worth it to get that great effect.

Thanks Kallfa!

Small update on the new bust I am working on. I switched up the head dress/hood color as I realized the base tan I had was starting to look to similar to the highlight skin tone...

Great start on that giant squig. Looks like it will fit in well with the other small ones you painted

Nice work on that Reanimator and that dwarf. OSL looks pretty dang good to me

brilliant work on those black orcs and those squigs look great!

Really nice work on the last female figure, base looks amazing too. This new one is coming along nicely as well.

That is some smooth painting on Road Girl and Conan! Great stuff

Great start on the demon of Tzeentch model! Love the blues you got

Great looking AOP board there Graishak! Also well done on the wurmspat and love that Glotkin!

Hey all, going to get back into painting a little more regularly. Kind of got out of it as I was getting into some photography as I figured it would get me outside more, and it did at the cost of...

great grungy paint job on these!

Cool looking figure. Is the candy inks just the purple tentacle bit?

Land raider looks great there Gorb! Very effective touch-up to the piece!

Thanks all, only problem I have now is that I totally missed that she has a tiny little bump on here nose (missed a piece of excess material when cleaning it up) and now that is all I can focus...

Freaking awesome!

love that base!

I really liked that green necron, but understand losing interest in a piece. Coming up with a backdrop sounds like a good idea to possibly get your motivation back for the piece.

Thanks Gorb, yeah the back pain is no fun.

Thanks Dex

Okay, at least partially figured out the issue with photos (I really need to remember that "white balance" control)! I keep forgetting...

That is mighty impressive, especially seeing it put together (even with out all the bits and bobs)!

Nice work on Horus!

the darker paint job looks great on the ork and night gobbo!

That cobbled together/scratch built ork is rockin!

Great work on the new bust, skins tones look fantastic. I am also really digging the current colors on the shirt

New base is looking great! Did you make the rock with the lines carved in the sides or is that store bought? I ask because I am looking for something with similar designs

You have quite the nurgle army going on! Really nice job with all of them.

Thanks for the tip Lone.

Took a bit of a break since my back has been acting up lately and just wasn't in the mood to paint (or feel like I could do it with any accuracy)

Glazed some red on the...

Love the Disc World figures!

Not worried if you don't use suggestions I throw out there. If it helps you figure a direction, even not the one we might suggest, it looks like they helped you out which is the whole point. Great...

Yeah, but if you went with flesh tearers, you would definitely need to scar up that face:smile-big:. Some really great kit-bashing/modding of the figure to add details!

Well, if I might make a suggestion then, I think it would look good if you put some kind of partial door/gate in the archway. Or maybe have the door/gate splintered or broken and barely attached to...

Nice little decompression camping time is always a good time! Sometimes I really miss seeing all those stars living near cities and it is great to get out into the country and see how amazing the...

Great job on the boar riders! Love the work you did on those boars!

Wow, amazing painting, I almost thought those were real colored carrots!;) Seriously though, the soup and carrots look delicious!

Really nice work on the Morrow bust! As for the recent one, besides what Kallfa mentioned, I would recommend working on the eyes. Judges are going to want to see more detail in the eyes, especially...

This post will have no subliminal (use a wet palette) text in it. Great (wet palette) job on the (wet palette)...:rotfl: Okay, seriously, great job on the IF marine! And nice start on the Reaper...

Thanks for the kind comments all! I here is a slight update (little better lighting - it really helps when you have the right "white balance" setting) mostly working on the leather top after I...

Great job on making the eviscerator chain sword and sculpting the head! Although it should have been a Flesh Tearer since you were building an eviscerator for it:D

Nice job, especially considering you did this all in one day! Love that little bed you made, what are the bed legs made from (cut off pins)? Yeah, aren't those figures something like 15mm or...

Nice start on the SC75 bust! Looks like it is a cool sculpt

Great job on this figure, she turned out awesome!

Snail is looking great! Love the more vibrant purple against that paler green for the body.

Stunning work Kretcher!

Really nice work on the Imperial Fist figure. That yellow is looking really nice

Great looking bases. Get some paint on them already:laugh:

Thank you Dex, appreciate the kind comments.

Working on it ST! I am just taking it very slow otherwise I know I will mess something up:tremble!:

Really nice work on the Slaanesh demonette rider! The colors really work well together.

Like I said before these look amazing! Still love that one you painted invisible;)

Looks good! I do like the look without the helmet a little better, but I don't know if that hair style looks right, seems a little to "nice" or like a little girls style for the figure. Have you...

I have no idea what you are basing these off of, but they do look pretty awesome!

Those orks look amazing.

honestly when I saw "big change" I thought you were going to say you no longer care for dragon models and are switching to something else like ponies or gnomes.
Glad to hear your father took you...

Thanks Kallfa and Gorb. Actually still trying to get the shadows right so for now I keep adding and taking away. A 1/10th scale bust is soooo much different than a 28-32mm figure:nailbiting!:
...

Nice work on the nurgle figures!

Cool start on the new sculpt. Can't wait to see this one all finished up!

I will second that, great dynamic pose on this figure. I also really like those little side locks you sculpted on the head. I like that the last picture looks like she is flipping you off the way...

Just some minor work done. Still playing with blends, some minor fixes to the right eye, and some playing around with the leather top color
Sorry for the cruddy lighting though, stuck with a crappy...

They might be driving you crazy, but really great job on painting them!

Really nice work, that standard looks great with them!

Tinkerbelle looks amazing, nice work! You might be able to cut out the center of the base of the cloche (bell dome) and then glue a round cut out of thik plastic card or something with enough...

Yeah it is kind of deceiving the style they chose for it. But the figure is from Guildball and I believe she is supposed to be from the Butchers clan so it kind of makes sense when you know the game...

well, kind of an axe/cleaver cross
81097

Trying to get the blends between skin tones smoother is causing me some issues so am definitely struggling a bit with the scale jump

Really nice work Gemini. I like the white armor with the blue cloth bits

Not sure if you noticed, but it looks like there is a partial version of the buttress attached to the body with the "walkway" going down to the flying buttresses. So if you didn't already make those...

Thank you Graishak, yeah she does look a little upset. And I haven't even started on her axe yet

I realized I messed up the eyes, I meant to put black down and then the blue over it to leave a...

Tinkerbelle is looking great! I really like those pastel wings and love that you put Jiminy on the base too (ok, maybe it was just a random cricket and not the disney one, but the reference is...

Really nice work! That banner looks great!

Thank you Kallfa, much appreciated

Great color for the squiqs and the night gobo's look awesome.

Don't feel so bad, I use an Optivisor as my reading vision is so shot that even the reading glasses that work for me don't help with painting minis.

Oh, that fluorescent paint really pops on it, nice!

Looking really good! I think I would have went on the funny side and made it like Waaagh beer and on the wheel had Drok shoes, etc.

Welcome back to the hobby! Great start on the Stormcast and really nice work on the Wight.

Okay, put some nurgle demons walking through the gate:laugh:

Thanks Gorb. I got it from Mr. Lee's Minis Minis. It is Brisket from BrokenToad, but Mr. Lee's carries some really nice busts from other brands as well

Yay!;) How's the writing/painting for FigureMentors going?

Nice kit bash for the ork stargate. If you have the bits, maybe put an ork arm or two and maybe a face on it like they are coming through the gate?

Really nice work on the grots and very nice work on their shields!

That face just looks amazing and I love the texture you have in his shirt, definitely has that burlap/homespun feel to it.

looking good! Can't wait to see this with the addition of the decals to the bike (and figure?)

So it has been a little while since I posted. Just kind of needed the break as I try to get a better grasp on this nmm stuff. Anyway, wanted a break from the Reaper figure and started this bust. ...

Nice work on the blightking....and now you are two votes away on the squiq riders

You could get some diffusion gel sheets from a photography store (or likely amazon) and cover the lights (you want the something like a frosted colorless one: something like this:...

one better have a peg leg (or even better a sword for a leg, since you are going the fantasy route otherwise I would say gun for a leg) Nice work the conversion of this figure

looking good! love that little detailing on the orb kind of looks like a hounds-tooth pattern

Now you have to paint it like this: https://i.cbc.ca/1.5230640.1564513760!/fileImage/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/original_780/even-knievel-warms-up-the-crowd.jpg

Oh, give him a cape! ...

That biker chick turned out phenomenal! Love the Evel Orkneval one you are building. Maybe some paynes grey ink (from Dawler Rowney or other brands) thinned down a little and shot through the...

Crystal does look very good! And yes, I know what a pain it can be to try to drill them out (had my share of broken stones, crystal, etc when I was into rock collecting years ago). Like the metallic...

Do the Bird King from the Flash Gordon movie:clap:
https://horrornews.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Flash-Gordon-1980-Movie-11.jpg
Nice work on those wings!

Great job Graishak! Definite level-up with this guy!

Firstly, you don't need a macro lens. A good 50mm lens will work fine, so if you camera didn't come with a basic 50mm lens you might want to look at getting one of those. I am not the best...

Almost a shame you painted over that large group of crystals. Would be really cool if you could polish them and maybe drill into the base and install some green and yellow LED's to light it up...

Really nice work on the Nurgle demon Graishak!

Top notch start to Cormac. Can already tell this is going to be awesome when you're done with it!

Kretcher, you can buy it from Blacksmith Miniatures

Curious what your base design will look like once fully realized (as I never saw, or don't remember, that Star Trek episode) but you always do...

Nice work on the plaque toads

Somehow missed this Necron you painted up.....looks great! Love all the BAMiness done to it!

Simply stunning work! I really love all the fine details you painted in, like the veins on the servitors arms!

Not my favorite sculpt, but you really did a nice job on the Sansa bust

Lovely start on the Dwarf. Interesting using acrylic gauche paints. I actually bought a bottle of that by mistake but was afraid to use it since I don't know its properties. May have to play with...

Really nice work on the Green Oni (and the whole set). Love that Santa and Reindeer figure.

Really nice work the demon bust. Love the skin tone you used for it!

Really nice painting on the bird!

Not sure of how many people are posting tutorials for painting "realistic" dinos, but I would probably say look at still images from shows such as Walking With Dinosaurs or maybe some...

I thought you were just taking an extended break from this behemoth. It is looking amazing! Love all that attention to detail for the interior bits

I like using Vallejo Airbrush Flow Improver or Golden's Glaze Medium (bought the satin before I realized they had matte version) or a touch of water. I will just put a drop or three of the Flow...

Almost thought I found one, but the site say "in pre-order" so not sure what that means as the link to their sites says it is in stock. Maybe worth contacting them though:...

Nice work on Morty!

Sorry about that I didn't think to check if they shipped to US. Hopefully someone reaches out to you, but will keep my eyes open if I run across anyone trying to sell one.

Stunning work on this! Great choice of colors!

Nice work on this bust so far. I really like that skin tone you have so far (although I am going to guess it will change a fair bit). Didn't realize you were using lacquer based paints for the...

Amazing work on this new diorama Gorb! You going for SENMM for the bike?

Really nice work on this bust. Nice choice of colors especially for the nmm

Found this place in Europe that supposedly still has one in stock: https://www.wendysminiatures.eu/product/nocturna-figures-teutonic-knight-14th-century-75-mm/

What no Alien egg with a face-hugger starting to come out of it? Seriously, holy cow this is awesome! I second the use of led lights

lol, ya got me Gorb! I forgot all about mentioning redoing the eyes. Yeah, it have started them again, wasn't happy with how the first pass went as I kind of had them looking forward where I think...

and decided to rough in most of the chest plates
80516
I swear it looks a teeny, tiny, bit better actual size:D

I would probably paint them a bone type color, so beige, off-white, so maybe the SC75 burch or Thar Brown depending on what you decide. Then glaze some darker brown paint over that, or select...

Spectacular work on that Smeagol bust! Eyes look amazing and is that free-hand hair or sculpted on the figure?

Thanks all!

@Maxwin, yeah, it tends to slip out of my mind more than stay in (at least once it comes to actually applying the paint):sad:

@Gorb, thank you and I really do hope I can pull it...

Not really sure how to do this either and could be way off on offering up this suggestion, but maybe something like Green Stuff Worlds UV resin tinted brown with some ink. apply thinly over skeleton...

Seriously, those are some great looking prints you have knocked out! Looks like have been spending a lot of time with the printer.

Let me guess, you are doing the Receiver positions now?;) Sketch looks really cool, can't wait to see this fig come to life.

Love how those tentacly bits really stand out from the body, great choice of color.

The link Dexter gave for the color tool should work in English if you just remove the "/fr", but here is the english one anyway: https://color.adobe.com/create/color-wheel

Welcome to the forums, you posted up some really great stuff! I really like that large dio of the cemetery set up.

@Toxicant (sorry I am hijacking your thread Dex) Here is a link to using the molds https://woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/video/RealisticRocks_TipsnTechniques (if you go to the Woodland...

Thanks Gorb, yeah you should give it a try. I will say I find it a bit frustrating, but it is still something I wan to learn (even if I decide I prefer to do tmm). Anyway, messing with the armor on...

Looking very good! I like that purple for the jacket and that face is looking really good.

I really like the work you did on these!

You may want to PM DragonsReach (he is the most active, maybe only admin around or at least in the WIP section). If your different threads can be...

Okay, I think I am slowly getting my head wrapped around this nmm process. Tried playing with a larger sculpt and roughing in the nmm. I will need some practice with the blending and maybe even...

Nice start on this kitbash.

Really nice work on this page! Magnus is looking amazing! Necron looks pretty cool in that alternate scheme you painted it in. Archaon is cool as heck, I really dig that blue light pic of it!

Thank you Bullfrog. The feedback really helps as I struggle with this nmm stuff.

Really great work on this! Love that teal color it really shows off the rust!

Great job! Love all the little details.

Great group shot! Hope you have fun with what ever else you are doing!

I would say if you are adding in the water and forest bits, then I think it might look really nice a little longer as it would give you more room to play with and convey the image you have.

Ha, thanks Graishak. Yeah, she definitely is bitching at me and anyone who will listen to finish painting her up and get her based. The hold up is I am not sure which direction I want to go with...

I am of two minds here. It does look cool with the size you have it right now, but since the figure is just primed white it kind of looks lost in all the color of the rocks. If you are leaving the...

Cool little kit-bash you have. Can't wait to see some paint on it. Best of luck in the AoP online contest

Your dio's are amazing. I really need to take some of your ideas and start building some larger ones like this

So start cutting away to print that lady and hoover bike!;)

Alien and Marine dio looks really good! Now you just need to figure out a way to get the marine saying: "That's it man, Game Over! ...

Okay, trying to get the darker parts a little darker. Mixed some Black Brown with purple and this is where she sits right now
80382

I think you are only looking at Maxwin's versions if you think it is starting to look good:D I just need to find a brown that will get me something like that. Might have to dig out the black brown...

Okay, trying to re-work the nmm gold. Not sure how it looks (I know it is kind of rough right now) but it still feels weird kind of ignoring where the light should be coming from based on what I...

AH, come on, you just made my nmm look like complete crap:weep: Seriously though, thanks Maxwin, your example looks soo much better than my actual paint so far. I guess partly I am not wrapping my...

Top job on the SM, love the cloak and armor. Only critique I have is the face/head looks kind of flat and could maybe use a shade or glaze or two to get some shadows or other color there.

Sweet new figure you are sculpting!

Gorb, thanks for the feedback and that was pretty much what I worked on this evening. Probably can still use refinement, but personally I am happy with it at least in this stage of learning the...

hmm, so that citadel brush is your favorite? I would have thought it was the MPF one

Not happy with the patterns I was testing out (came up with a new one I hope) so in the process of covering up the lower skirt and did some work on the leather bit and trying the nmm gold again (I...

Congrats on the Figure Mentors! Those SMs look amazing!

echoing what SaintToad said, those metals look amazing! Simply stunning work on this piece.

While I have been poking along painting the aztec goddess I started up this Reaper Sophie figure. Mostly just playing around with some nmm (just the lower part of the armor - the scale bit) for...

He's not sucking in his gut, obviously he is wearing a girdle:D
Congratulations on the article, been meaning to pick up a copy or two of Figure Mentors and now I have a good reason to.

bikes are looking really good already, can't wait to see what the finished product is if this is just color blocking. Also think the marines look pretty cool at this stage, looks like they have been...

outstanding work on these two projects!

Nice work on the nurgle figures.

Those Necrons turned out great and really nice work on the SM

Really neat idea for this bust the way you went about the zenithal. Poe is looking really good

Great work on sculpting that last dwarf figure and looking forward to the marvelous work you do in the sculpting of this new one!

Thanks BAM, the feathers don't really bother me. It is the mess of nmm gold that I have (at least with the small pieces) that I don't think I have the skills yet to really get it right. But if I...

Great job on this! That moss and added texture to the base really look good.

Great work on the bust. You are going to kill it when ever live competitions come back

Thanks Kuribo and Maxwin really appreciate the feedback. As for the feathers, I still haven't put any highlights on them so hopefully I can pick out the lines on them (but they weren't deeply lined...

Really nice work on the NMM and thanks for the sbs on it. Also that Slaneesh (can't remember the proper name) figure is looking great. And yeah, the bits I am trying to paint nmm are maybe the size...

I would probably say add some grey's and blacks to the core to make it look like it has dried out and then dirt/debris collecting on it. Something like...

Looking amazing! Only thing that throws me a little is the roots in the center part don't look quite real (at least in the second larger picture), maybe add some earth into them to partially cover...

I think the freehand over all is really good. The way you have it "V" looks kind of weird, and I think it is if you look at the new Primaris figures, while it does have the "v" notch there, the ends...

The new bust is looking great! I agree that the glint in the visor is really sells it. Looking forward to seeing updates/completed piece

First I would ask is it already painted? If not, do you plan on painting it as that is going to ruin the value of it anyway so I wouldn't really see the need to keep the box. If it is already...

That shoulder pad is looking aces!

So I took a few lazy days off and finally started back up to finish the Aztec figure I am working on. Here is the little feather piece that connects to her hip and the other hand with the broom...

great stuff all around! I wish I had the patience/skill to paint some of the larger figures like you have

dang that is really nice!

Nice job and that dio base you made looks great!

Great looking Tau and nice work for only 2 hours

Skeleton band is looking good! Nice work on the Beast of Nurgle want to see this one painted up!

Really nice work! That big guy (voinondod) looks like it turned out nice and the painting is looking really good on it. Liking that dwarf and belly dancer as well!

Rhino is looking sweet! Hope the new tiles turn out since they are looking really nice for basing/gaming. Nemesis guy is awesome!

NMM is looking sweet! What colors are you using? I think that is what I don't like about my attempts at it so far (not liking the colors I chose)

lucky, I am still waiting on my order from them.

Just saw your leprechaun on Figure Painter Magazine's FB page.

Loon King looks great! As for Idoneth or Maggotkins, don't play so I can't help you there, but other than some of the larger pieces, I like the Maggotkin better than the Idoneth (but that doesn't...
