Hey Eki,

Thanks for your contribution :-)

Yeah, I'm definitely in agreement with adding a bit more colour and/or decals to the Valkyrie. If I'm feeling brave one day I may still do that.. Oh...

This is absolutely outstanding. Outstanding in a thread of other outstanding achievements so.. yeah.. pretty outstanding haha..
Love the book and the attention to detail. I absolutely love the...

Man, this is really something to see.. fantastic skill and creativity. Can't wait to see your progress :-)
Can't believe you've done so much already considering you're making this up as you go along.

Haha.. awesome feedback as ever Gorb! I was tempted to try and add a "maverick" and "goose" to the outside of the cockpit area but my brush control is nowhere near good enough... Thank you for your...

Hey guys! Thanks for the positive feedback :-)

Dexter; I wasn't planning to add decals or colours to this one, no, though I think I will do in future as it is a bit samey. I think I could have...

And we're airborne!

I had a lot of fun painting this. A real shame I didn't get to paint the interior rear gunners etc but I'm fairly happy with how this turned out.. obviously needs a base but...

So, here's a bit of a WIP set on the Valkyrie.

The second photo (for some reason it got swapped round with the first) is the plain grey basecoat, though it was over a rhinox hide undercoat, black...

Haha.. absolutely man!

Thanks dude!

Hmm.. not quite an f15.. its a warhammer vehicle. Unfortunately it was already half built so I can't paint the interior of the rear section, which is a bummer cos it had some really...

You're absolutely relentless man.. and super skillful also.. more fantastic work :-)

Hey gorb,

Thank you for the positive comments and encouragement, it really is appreciated. Thank you for the advice too. I gave that video a watch, good technique that.. that's kind of what I've...

An uncanny likeness?

Thanks for the advice eki... good tip about the tattoo and mixing in some skin tone.. I would never have thought of that! Yeah, I get the less is more idea, I do think it's easy to go overboard and...

So, here's a razorback I rescued - stripped and repainted - using the same style as the figures I painted. Any thoughts and criticisms welcome .. oh and a shot of the two figures now based, also :-)

Absolutely brilliant so far man! This is a super cool project! Can't wait to see how it turns out :-)

Wow! That is absolutely stunning.. I can't even begin to understand what's happening here to achieve those beautiful blends of colours.. fantastic work

Thanks for the feedback.. Great advice that! I did wonder if part of the reason my attempt at painting damage didn't come out too good is that I added too much "information" to such a small area.. I...

This is madness haha.. love that base with the computer parts and stuff.. super good imagination that and will look brilliant painted up! Can't wait to see it finished :-)

Awesome dexter, thanks for the info. Man those busts are amazing!!! How on earth do you paint something to look so 3d like that?!?! Incredible!

So, I had a bit of a bash at another figure in a...

Hey guys! Thanks for the awesome feedback and advice once again :-)
Yeah, I'll defo be doing the base on this dude.. unfortunately I've had an EXTREMELY busy week this week and have had no time for...

Beautifully painted again man.. there's some really talented folks on this site.. always inspirational to check in on you guys :-)

Are you kidding?!?! This is outstanding.. LOVE that bear! He's awesome :-)
I really like some of the archvillain sculpts.. I have a large bear vanguard which I think is by them but I'm nowhere near...

So, I added a few more details today and made some adjustments here and there l, adding some highlights and whatnot... I reckon I'll base him up and then leave it at that.. gonna try a more...

Thanks for your input Eki, I really appreciate the advice. Super helpful to a beginner like me.

I decided to have a go at another figure (so this will be number 3) and try a bit of a different...

Looking good man! The leather looks awesome and the gorilla face/fur is fantastic..

Wow! Thank you so much for your feedback and kind words. Thats really generous of you and I really appreciate it. That's also some great advice (again). I definitely understand what you mean about...

Well, he's done! I appreciate there's nothing that marks him out as a space wolf exactly but this was really just an exercise in trying to get my first figure painted, to take the advice given and to...

Awesome man.. really nice to see a good in-between shot.. interesting to see the green laid down in places, it really helped me notice the green that you've already incorporated into the shadows of...

Thank you for your encouragement Gorb!

Well, I started a new job/uni this week, which is awesome, but unfortunately has left me with zero time for painting.. ive done a couple of bits here and...

Thank you so much for your input and advice! I really appreciate two really skilled painters taking the time to look at what I'm doing and offer me advice on how to improve. Sincerely, thank you..
...

Today's progress on the space wolf... I finished adding the highlights, painted the brown areas in with metallics and painted the leather bits leather-ish :-/

Still avoiding trying to paint the...

So I decided to have a go at a second figure and thought I'd have another bash at a space wolf.. I'm gonna make this guy with a space wolves head/face (no helmet- god help me) and am gonna give him...

Awesome man! Really nicely painted and a cool scheme... what's the liquid green stuff for may I ask?

Also excellent advice! Thank you so much :-D

Thank you for the advice Darthmarsh, that's all super helpful! I'll definitely give the zenithal priming a go.

And thanks for the encouragement Ekipage. You're right of course, just got to keep...

So I decided to use the craply painted head to have a bash at making a space wolf, instead of just scrapping it.. I thought I might as well keep trying stuff and practicing so thought I'd make my...

Wow man, this is brilliant! I especially like the textures on the material of the coat and the little pouch/bag thing.. Great colour choice on the skin, it really sets the scene..

Good lord these are good.. how long did it take you to get to this standard?

Haha.. so, I made my first ever attempt at painting a face today and oh boy was that a harsh learning experience.. it was actually going ok up until I had to put the eyes in and then it went badly...

Thanks for the positive feedback man! Yeah, I did mostly paint up the ridgerunner at the top of the page before i did the warsuit so, technically that was my first one, but I haven't got round to...

So! I had a few hours more this weekend than I'd anticipated and so I've managed to finish up my Tactical Warsuit!

So here it is; my first ever finished miniature!

I had a few last minute...

Wow man that is super awesome!!! The neon stuff is incredible.. the material looks fantastic and the eyes look great too! Impressive :-)

So, another mini update today due to having to head out to work again (booooo!) and there'll be no further progress for a while either due to me doing a 24hr shift at work and then family time at the...

Sorry to hear you've had so much to deal with man. Glad you're maybe coming through the other side. Just had a quick look at this thread and wow! That last dude you painted for the competition that...

Awesome man.. yeah, I'd seen the sponge and paint technique used in a YouTube video and that's what I used to do the rust effects on the ridgerunner.. ive got a couple of random things from AK (the...

Well, a none too thrilling update today. I didn't get a lot of time before I had to head off for work today so, minimal progress. I painted the wee cage that sits over the pilot/driver (?), did the...

Hey man, thanks for the kind words and feedback! I really appreciate it :-)
Based on that I may well go back and finish that first model up as you suggested.. is there any weathering powder you...

So today I put together the arms and part of the lower body. I started to paint the armour panels and made yet another major mistake. I had intended to paint the upper arm armour panels in a...

Hey man, this looks great to me!!! I'm also just in the process of painting my second mini ever so maybe my opinon isn't worth much, but, if mine comes out anywhere near this decent I'll be happy. I...

Now I've started working on a tactical warsuit. I based in Khorne red, washed with Agrax and then added (very poor) edge highlights with evil suns scarlet. I did the black with Abbadon black and then...

So, the first massive error I made painting my first model was utilising heavy chipping fluid. The clue was in the name really but I was completely unprepared for quite how heavy the chipping turned...

Hi all,

So, I'm brand new to painting, I have zero previous experience with model making, zero artistic inclination and so far I've partly painted one model and partly painted another. I attempted...

I'm sorry I can't help with advice as I'm brand new to painting myself. I just wanted to say that I have been having big problems with wet palettes too. I see all the advice to thin paints a lot and...

Oh, thanks for the additional information! I'm honestly just starting out painting so I think I'll just paint the stuff I love to start with, though I like the idea of maybe just somehow scrubbing...

Good lord thats some commitment :thinking:

I'll have a look around for your other work

Ahh I see. Thanks for the reply, that's really helpful.. so I would assume that mixing and matching would definitely be frowned upon and that if you were to pick a character from an existing chapter...

This is great man. I really like the lighting. The tone of the light is really natural. I often see lighting effects painted in quite vivid colours e.g. orange and red sunsets or fire or even bright...

Hi,

I have a question about the characters in the GW range. First of all I am brand new to painting and I've bought a few models from GW purely for the painting side of the hobby and purely based...

Have you seriously been working on this for nearly 4 years? The first post says 2017?!?! Just looked through this whole thread and all I can say is wow... seriously impressive stuff... amazing...
