I'm going to say it is selfmade. The electrical boxes look a lot like single serving butter packages you would be given at a restaurant. But maybe someone else will know if it is purchasable.

I have actually used gesso as a primer, but also as a gap filler at the same time. But that was on a 3D printed model, too, so YMMV.

Been a while, but I'm finally back in the mood to paint and show. I've painted a couple of things in the last six months, but not nearly as much as I'd like. My recent ReaperCon trip has got me back...

Well, I'd disagree a bit on the proxies. I'd much rather have a slight mess of a figure as a proxy than a chess piece. Although, thinking about it, making them flats instead of 3D might make them...

I recently bought five orc figures to print on my 3D printer from Dragon Lock, so I figured I might as well add to my WIP as I paint one of them. I picked the one I though looked the best, and would...

Very cool.

Three year update! All three still sticky.

Finally! Posting all those gallery pictures was a pain. I'm bound and determined to not let myself get that behind again. Yeah, we all know that'll happen again.

Anyway, speed painted a lizard...

Been a long time, but hobby things are slowly coming back into the realm of the possible. Spent the day taking gallery shots of (nearly) all my figures since 2013. Yeah, ouch. Missed the strumpet and...

Welcome, slightly delayed of course. I don't lurk around here much but once a week.

Anyway, picture taking is an art in of itself, but I'll skip that for now. Be aware that it can help or hurt a...

There's quite a few CMON people who go. Course, going to ReaperCon sort of feels like being in a group anyway. So... there's that.

Finally getting around to posting this one. It's the last of the four CAV I agreed to paint before I opened it up to anything else I wanted to paint on video. Then again, very low views on these, so...

Wow, it has been a while. But that's what happens when vacations and overtime kill all of your painting time.

First up, I finished off my Nicki Minaj color-themed Specter CAV. This was the third...

Very shiny.

Over on the Reaper forumns, they had a Memorial Day Binge Painting challenge. Paint as many as you can during the weekend. So I bit, since I've been pretty slow on things, and jumped in ambiously...

I worked up a three part video review of 2015 ReaperCon. Anybody that went will probably be bored to tears, but those who couldn't go might be interested. And others that didn't go might be bored to...

Tis the future. Played around with Heroforge's mini maker last night. No intention of actually buying one. My company is actually printing out a lot of titanium parts now. Learning how to deal with...

Here's a quick one I did. Randomly went into the box of Bones (KS I) and pulled these out. Pretty simple paint job.

First off, 9064 Brown Liner as both primer and base color. Next, 913 Forest...

Velcome. Velcome.

Very cute. Voted.

Had a busy week, and sudden plans for the weekend that took me elsewhere, so this is much late. I've "finished" the Tiamat! I say that with quotes because I'm in process of basing him and getting the...

I plan to. I'm not going to use a lot of area when I base them, as I'm trying to stick very close to what someone new to the hobby/game would have on hand or could get. Might have to do a complete...

And I continue on with the Tiamat. This time, I've added my second color, LED Blue, to pick out some details and such. I've also decided I need to paint something for fun, and not worry about doing a...

Got the base coat of paint on, Clear Blue. It made things a lot darker than I'd thought, but it didn't turn out badly. On to the next few steps!
...

Got started on the Tiamat this weekend. Nothing much, but a simple layer of Blue Liner on it. On my way on this! Woo hoo!

Going to do a simple paint scheme. Other than the liner, I'm planning on...

Welcome. Gruesome figure and I hadn't seen it before.

Sadly, no. I was one of the large minority who got glitched. But it'll get here Monday. Then a gift from my wife, Surface 2 tablet, on Tuesday. Then I anticipate a Reaper order on Wednesday. Did the...

Haven't posted any WIP pictures of these, mostly because they were done just for my own fun. But they're finished, so figured I'd show them off a little.

These are a Reaper CAV Concussion (24518)...

Got my first print of the troll done. Had a small failure the first time, as it came off the build tape very near the beginning. New tape, and then had no problem. Set to 150 microns for the layers...

Time for a little something different. I've now got a PLA 3d printer, and I'm enjoying it so far. Printed out a reindeer finger puppet and a die (and another after the first one failed at almost the...

Totally looks photoshopped.

That's a compliment, btw, not anything angry. Tau are my favorite from the Evil Empire Corp.

Very tropical.

No doubt. Four months to get something to tabletop. And what's really sad is that if I hadn't made it a painting series that I feel obligated to update once a week (er, two weeks), I'd have painted...

And I finally managed to get Crocostimpy to a decent table top standard. I haven't attached nor finished the base, as I'm planning at some point to go back over him to do some shading, extra...

Shoot. Last week's video was posted, well, last week. Hectic. Anyway, I painted the things I think should be jade stones. Yeah.

...

Looks very nice, and welcome! Practice and paint more, that's about the only advice I can give at my level.

Oh, and have fun!

Yeah, too many projects. Best way is just to take one bite at a time, really.

Getting a little bit more done on the Crocostimpy. The image has his lapel painted and lettered (hieroglyphed?) and I painted the rolled up paper to look a bit like a newspaper in homage to Ren. The...

How do.

Another noob better than me. Great.

Kidding aside, lovely mini. Only criticism I can think of is that the base is a little plain. But, sandy wastes might be the look you were going for. A little...

Velcome. Velcome. Velcro. Velour.

Wow. A month since my last Crocostimpy progress? That's been a lot of whole weeks filled with Mondays. Trust me.

I actually have been working on this, but the sessions have been far and...

Nice little model. Don't have a printer yet, but I'm working on that.

No, not weird at all. I know there are painting groups in several areas, some members of which are exceptional painters and happy to help. (SEE EDIT)

Try looking around at the local game stores...

Not really. I picked these up quite a while ago just because they're BIG STOMPY SPACESHIPS... er, wait. Doesn't have the same impact.

I do have two packages of Dropzone Commander tanks that I'm...

For sure too small. As for the paint scheme, is this going to look a bit like a Messerschmidt from WW2? Interesting idea, if so. About the only thing I can think to suggest is some nose art. It seems...

Yeah, I'm going to agree with the no-base. I know it's not "complete", but it does seem to make the focus the figure.

So what base would have gone on there to make it look "better"? I wouldn't do...

I managed to finish up a batch of minis! Yay! They're the Star Trek ships, and I realize that they went from primer to complete here, but I was doing them for me. And they were a pain, I tell ya. The...

Welcome. You can never leave, you know that, right?

One cup of uncooked popcorn. Pour it down the tower as if it were dice. Complain miserably, and with feeling, the fact that all the kernels came up as zeros.

Should help a little.

Usually, it's the other way around, ain't it? What was a 6 years ago becomes a 4 now?

Maybe it's just one of those cyclical things. Dunno. Haven't bothered with a gallery post in a long time. I...

Looks very nice, and you seem to be on your way. I think the thing to work on would be the highlights and shadowing, but that ties in with the glazing. Continue. :)

Very nice to see. Voted.

Psst. Hey. Are they gone yet?

'Scuse me a moment. Gonna go kiss the wife.

Now, as to OP's original question, take advice from a page back and expanding: Try not to speak in terms of "you". Use "I". "You always hate my hobby"?...

Finally got my act together and got some work done to post up. Pretty standard base coating so far for the stomach and nose. Happily, the nose covered better than I had hoped and I won't have to do a...

Super shiny.

Your website seems to be down at the moment, but searched and found your facebook page and what might be your kickstarter. Interesting line.

No interest in throwing my hat in, btw. Don't have...

Been working on the CrocoStimpy, and even have had the video up for a few days, but I've been too busy and too lazy to make an update. So many other diversions to sap my time.

First thing,...

I've used popsicle sticks whittled down on one end that fits into the round slot, but I honestly wouldn't recommend that. A small metal rod might work better. Maybe even a piece of coat hanger. Reuse...

Tested something. Didn't work.

EDIT: Rather than a new post, I'll just edit this. Got the Testors dullcoat this afternoon, and you're right. Worked like magic.

Where to begin. Much updating. Little wow.

Guess I start with the Well of Chaos. I've been filling up the cistern with Realistic Water from Woodland Scenics to give it, well, some water. Figured I...

Very cool little set. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, other than what boubi said, I've got nothing. Sorry about that.

Might. Don't have any. Think I can grab some. Don't see the kids until the first of August, so I do have time to tinker a bit more.

Welcome, and good luck. Don't know of anybody here that's done injection molding. Maybe the CMON team themselves, via the Kickstarters.

But welcome all the same.

Thanks! I know I should practice some more before tackling some of my larger figures. Have to figure out what to practice on. Probably just a piece of scrap wood and practice lines. Tearing apart the...

This is going to be a really quick WIP, mainly because I'm generally done. I've got another layer of color to put down on the base (the first is drying), and then a wash for the bases, assembly, then...

I think I've created a monster. Maybe two.

My painting desk has been in constant use for four days now. I've painted less than half of those.

Got the last few bits on the Well of Chaos done. Got her head piece done, touched up her "hair", and cleaned up around the figure head where the paint had crept onto the "stone". And dotted her eyes....

Normally, Tuesday is my painting recording night. But right now, my painting desk is occupied. Son is painting a hydra, and daughter is painting her plaster bobble head kitten.

Hiya. Welcome.

Depending on just how clunky you care for it to be, lots of text editors (such as Word) allow you to save things as html. So there's one quick and dirty way.

Bad week for me painting. Was super motivated... on the day I couldn't. Day I could, I didn't. I hate if I have to force myself have fun.

Anyway, did the head shell thingy with Olive Drab.
...

What, no flaming chain saws? Count me out then. There's some C4 over in the corner I'm more interested in.

Yeah, the pine 4x4s are probably way too big. Could always carve them quite a bit and turn them into candle holders. And if you're just planning to paint them, then pine would probably be fine and...

Just caught the thread, and enjoyed looking at the pics. You've got a lovely turquoise feel to that well's details. Currently painting up that one myself.

Never had run into the problem myself, but curious if a coat of black primer followed by a couple in white would have solved the issue. Or at least masked it as grey.

Then went to work on a couple of the details. Went with Bright Red for the sigils. I'm thinking that once I get the well to a "playable" state, I start revisiting and detailing items. Glowing...

Sadly, no squee from me either. Wish them the best, however.
