d17 - worked on the gold trim
Day 154, working on this guy's eye, mostly
i need to fix the wounds to line up with the modified gravis statline i have going on but sure
Day 71+3
185 still working on these figures.
Love the wings!
Thanks im a bit stuck creatively with him right now
I don’t know how to define him better
One of the issues he has is that his Lethal Hits ability is in competition with the Apothecary Biologis. Additionally, his second ability is effectively Twin-Linked, which the only melee gravis unit already has, and just be sure to give him the Fire and Fury bit of wargear if it is a wargear ability
A few possible changes is to give him fall back and shoot and charge, like the regular LT, and if he charges he gives his unit +1 to hit. The main reasons we would do that is to give him a role separate from the Cpt and Biologis, but also really enforces each of the units in a good spot.
Cpt becomes generally all-purpose, who he joins changes based on what detachment he's in.
Lt is aggressive and seriously benefits Aggressors
Biologis can join the heavies or the Erads, bases on what the cpt didn't join
It seems to me that doing an outlining to mark a contour of shadows around the joints and some extreme lights on edges and then glazing with airbrush with quite diluted Fluo paint, if you accept my advice! 😅
thanks for the feedback! i was trying to make the lt more general purpose, but i like this approach better.
Yeah because the cpt already fills that role it may be fairly difficult
Yeah always helps
Streak day #1281
Another little one. I think I did well on the exam today, on to prep for the last one.
Streaking day 551: finished basing and did some gap filling. Also a little bit of paint on the orks
Day 182 - 184: i managed to get some more time at the painting table but forgot to take pictures 😳 i started to paint the skin of some more wadhrun hunters
how's this? i kind of struggled on the second ability's wording, but i hope it's clear. i got rid of the wargear ability as it was really just there so tactical precision wasn't useless if they were attached to flame aggressors
also, day 3!
Definitely like it more, I'd personally use that more especially in a unit with someone like Vulkan or even a Cpt in the Firestorm detach, and he doesn't necessarily have to be attached to Aggressors since he'll benefit units like Heavy Intercessors by letting them get out of combat, shoot somewhere else, then go back into combat and be protected
and stops Erads from getting dunked on by a cheap screen charging them
that does sound extremely annoying to have happen
Streak Day 551, started preparation on my panther rogue
Day 551 :
d18 - worked on the back
Day 40, I took a break and cleaned my desk a bit
I dont understand
Day 155, putting these guys on bases to prime up, for PALs mostly.
Day 71+4
The base the miniature on the left is standing on.
- Maybe getting a bit boring but still doing a little more on these.
It’s not transparent it’s just the visual effect of priming and coating stages
...Well that was a letdown.
Sorry
You could look for acrylic circles . I'm sure they exist in the wild
Streak day #1282
Cleaned and glued another ghost, wish I was faster at these.
Streaking day 552: Last gap fills and cleanups on this, primer tomorrow hopefully
Day 185: more work on the skin and I blocked in the clothes with the first undercoat
Oops 🙊 forgot to post yesterday. Streak day 551: base coated my skelecat
Thank you, but I'm looking for hollow bases. I have to have room for magnets.
totally fair, alternatively you could look for someone who has a 3d printer and prints using clear resin 🙂
https://wh40khomebrew.fandom.com/wiki/Necropolis_Hawks day 4, although this has been like. day -365 and on for this particular collection of Things. but i finally got all my lore together and published on a wiki
Day 552, vacuumed my hobby space, a little prep on my panther rogue, washed it
Day 156, they have primer now.
Day 552. Picked out à cute green for the sweater and then repainted the hat trim in green
This is outta control
the fact I can't make a decision on what color to use? You are right, I am out of control
Ahaha nah outta control cute/good
ty ❤️
Day 41, some Kitbashes
the fur looks soooo good
d19 - did some GIMPing to check out my compositions. Will use these to explore areas of improvement
Day 71+5
Ooooo! Very nice
Love the yellow!
Oh this is going to be epic
No, 28mm 🙂
28mm of epic 
Thanks I built it up using a brown mud, sunny skin tone, icy yellow as a base for imperial yellow contrast
Streak day #1283
another spookerino
Day 186: another layer of brown and the basecoat for the red parts
Streak Day 552: Painted a little bit
Streaking day 553: primed
d20 - doing some planning for refinement stages in gimp
Streak Day 553: Started clipping and cleaning up my dude for Pride-Along
YO
I didn't even think about using a flag for the pride along lmao
I feel like a goober now lmao
I had to ask someone which space marine had a flag 😅. I’m a pleb when it comes to Warhammer
Day 42: Palette Cleanser and new kitbash concept
Day 553, busy day, only did a few brush strokes and worked on my color scheme
day 5, attempting to learn supports for resin 3d printing
Day 553 started a new project but here's about 3 hours of progress ? Also including the color palette I'm pulling from the last image is for the accessory / beetles that will be with him
It felt sort of magical flipping through the photos and watching that nipple come to life 😃
The nip nop is qn accidental blessing in disguise
Molotow purple violet
d20 (extra) reworked the shadow side to add texture and reduce the overall illuminated volume of the leather
that's a delightful palette
Ever used contrast atop? Had any reactivstion?
I use contrast on top almost 100% of the time. Mostly with an ink zenithal though. I sometimes get reactivation with the ink, but I've learned how to avoid it 99% of the time
It mostly happens when I end up putting contrast on it, then smudging it around several times
It's a little bit annoying, but avoidable and much less annoying than having to varnish in between so I've decided I'm ok with it 🙂
And also not entirely sure if molotow or the ink is to blame for the issue
ok yeah ive heard molotow is the issue, not had it with inks myself, but i get what you mean. I did a test with molotow black and was able to smudge it quite easily.
Yeah it's not hard to smudge if you want to do it
But it's also not hard to not do it!
Day 71+6 started the day with priming
Day 157, a pulling sort of day. Went through the bins to take out some more, and scrub them up to enter into the queue.
188
i just noticed, are these the old sculpts? if so rad
They are actually new sculpts designed in the style of old sculpts.
oh word
Available from hybrid miniatures facebook page.
Not mine, and hybrid aren't the original sculptor, just the current owner of the rights.
i love those
Streak day #1284
Gho-ast. Last scheduled exam in the morning.
Streaking day 554: zenithals and some color
Love it
Day 187: some more base colors
I like the highlights
Streak Day #79, working again in NMM…
Day 42 for the archer PAL
Streak Day 554: Scrapped a mold line. Got home late and was exhausted 🥱
felt
Day 554, had visitors yesterday, tired today, managed to paint a little fur base coat
Day 554 @sharp yacht figured I'd try and work on my btech a bit to appease the shrimp overlord.
Spent the majority of my time working on the kitty and did the teeth and the middle ete for my yeti. Also assembled the 3 bugs ( 2 of them fit nicely on him)
day 6: pauldron trim done
D21 - read some hobby lit
Haha those little guys are great
Day 158, priming again. Touch up on some, first coats on some others from yesterday.
Streak day #1285
Another one, bit earlier as I'm fading fast today.
Day 71+7: gravedigging a bit
- Quick one and a little late. Just did genestealer claws.
Day 555, started preparing my drakling for pride along
Day 188: finished my raptor riders and primed two models for my husband and my entry for pezalong
Streaking day 555: basecoats started
Love the arm and weapon
D22 - a couple brush strokes on my new year new you marine
Streak Day #80, primer on this ophidian.
Streak Day 555: Finished cleaning up step one parts
day 7: washes for the blue armor and leather, undersuits painted, purity seal for the plasma gun and doodads for the communicator arm, work on the bases
Day 43 guess what I'm painting (Wow it's Elves)
Day 555 
Dude that cape is 
Thanks! I think that side is about halfway done rn, gotta clean my apt tonight and Saturday is usually a bad day for me to paint so we'll see how it looks on Sunday!
For reference, took this photo last year when I painted the chariot
I feel like I've had some crazy improvement
This may be my favorite thing I ever seen you paint
awwww ❤️
You know what this can at least hold me accountable while I’m actually IN TOWN so that I’m sure I’m painting more consistently. Anyway my streaks will be interrupted a lot by travel and it’ll be a miracle if I ever hit… 50? But here’s Day 4 in a row of working on the turret of this tank and day 1 of this hobby streak.
That’s going to look nice 👍
Day 159, working on adding some things to this guy's base, mostly to cover up where the primer has rubbed off the metal ten times.
190 more genestealer claws.
Streak day #1286
Literally just a couple of mould lines before I passed out.
Streaking day 556: More basecoating
Streak Day #81, done!
Streak Day 556: Finished partial assembling and priming my pride marine
Day 160, finally pulled out these tiles that I had primed last year, run out of primer+paint partway through, and went to every store in town trying to find the same shade I had started with. No luck, and they all only had one can of each gray. So ended up using three different shades to start on, trying to give them a dark wash to help even things out and add some depth
Day 44Pulled an Lizard off his base and painted part of him burgundy
Day 556, worked on a color scheme
Day 556 finished both
day 8: glued the sword blade back on to my dad's gift after i dropped it like a klutz, and glued the mini to the base. also finished cleaning my apothecary print and set it in the window to finish curing tomorrow
I always love Battletech paint schemes. One of these days.
D23 worked on the dark side
D2 - did antennas. Did gold eagle on machine gun. Started the main gun.
How do you do the chains?
Just contrast on a zenithal
I'm not sure what shadow lining is? But the pic here is literally just a zenithal (molotow purple violet -> cerulean blue ink -> white ink) and then gryph-charger grey contrast
Thanks looks very good
Streak day #1287
Cleaned up another. Still exhausted, big weekend at a convention.
- Stuffed up. Finished a bunch of figures but forgot to take photos. Will do photos tomorrow.
Streak Day #82, my hippo fell on the table and fractured his tooth 😢, I had to take him to the dentist and now he has a prosthesis! 😅
Before
Now
Streaking day 557: painted the teeth and back spikes a bit
Look good what method you use for teeth?
Day 189 & 190: yesterday, I accompanied my husband to a painting class and worked a bit more on nmm
And today I painted the cloth of the wadhrun hunters
Day 557, spent time finalizing my painting plan for PrideAlong
What I forgot to post last night.
Streak Day 557: Started on my marines head
D ay 557 finished the dryad and started the fryman at a paint social today
Day 45, started planning and building Daemonette kitbashes and selling the shit I don't want to paint anymore
D24 redid the face again and I’m grumpy with it 😠
D3 - Magnetized bases on I think 39 models, went and played a game, set up stuff to paint more tomorrow.
Day 161, no photo today, but did lots of little touchups on my dragon that I've been technically working on since like last winter. Hoping I can get him to the point of saying done for now soon.
Teeth is just brown and ivory paint
Gonna hit them with a wash later
- Finished a bunch more, washed and varnished (these are rough paintjobs, they get the brown wash method).
Streak day #1288
And yet another
Streaking day 558: Did some more painting on the teeth and color on the base, also did some shadows with the airbrush. Now it's ready for washes
First of the new Daemonettes
Looks cool
Day 191: base colors for leather, bone and metal added
Streak Day #83, sketching light and shadow
D25 worked on the feather, which I would like to look iridescent
Day 558, started basecoating
Day 558 created and finished the base. And worked on the rope and loin cloth?
Day 4 - finished all the detail work on the main gun, which finishes the whole turret. Starting the body of the tank tomorrow, unless I decide to take a quick break and paint something else, who knows.
Should probably varnish this guy tomorrow, actually, now that I think about it.
Day 71+11
Streak Day 558: More work on the head
Forgot photos again. Did a heap of basing on these guys 193.
Day 162, worked some more on trying to figure out the colors for all the bone and horn bits on this fella
Streak day #1289
Spookums. God there's so many of these
This dude is rad as hell
Streaking day 559: did washes
Archon Studio Dungeons and Lasers Wendigo
Streak Day #84, primer on this Viking
Streak Day 559: Finished with the skin. Now on to the eyes 
Day 192: I think I call the painting finished. Just basing left
Day 559, some base coating for my panther rogue
Day 163, it's nice out and I wasn't completely exhausted this evening, so broke out the spray cans and tried to spray finish some terrain and a dragon. We'll see how it turns out. Trying a satin finish on the terrain for a little more pop, but it might prove to be too much and need matte over it, we'll see.
Day 559 base coated bellies
D26 worked on back
Day 5 - my eyes are getting blue saturated. Everything is blue now. Even this cat is blue. Need to finish this blue, then add back in some darker blue, then add in some lighter blue, then one more lighter blue.
71+12
- Super short session. Just painted red paint over primed figures. (Red side for rising sun).
Streaking day 560: Painted details on the robes and metal parts
Streak day #1290
2 today
Day 193: basing is done. I just need to varnish them and the unit is finally ready for combat
Streak Day #85, adding more light and purple shadows and hues
Day 560 more basecoating
Day 560 eyeballs and noticed that the arm isn't all sweater but some is exposed arm 🥲
This is such a nice palette
❤️ thank you, I am really enjoying it !
D 6- More progress on the Gladiator. Cleaned up and added a ton more grey blue. Started red front paneling. Switching to just straight detailing mode at this point and just going to work my way backwards.
Looking good all
71+13
Day 164, started on a harpy for #1227290225848615003
- A touch of painting and some rebasing.
Streak day #1291
2 more again
Streaking day 561: worked on some metals and squig skin
Is it 71+13 because you broke a streak in there and you're tracking them or is this like per mini
Day 194: I am on a short holiday trip and took some hobby books with me, which I am reading
Streak Day 560: Trying to work out how I want to paint my space marine. Mixed a few colors to test out my color scheme
Because it’s easier to think day one of month what day it was and add the current day of the month
Oh that's brilliant.
I’ve been painting 84 days and last 74 for 4:50hr average
I didn’t have the app first 10 days
What app is that?
Brushrage
Give it a try it’s fantastic
Helps with paint sets, organizing collection etc etc
I will, I actually kind of need something like this to keep photos organized.
Goddamn this discord rules
Give it a try you will love it
Oh my god this is perfect
I have a whole Monday.com dashboard set to track stuff like this but I keep having to do custom stuff to it to generate exactly what this app already has.
Streak Day #86, more hues, more shadow, smoothing some transitions and adding color to axe and leather
Day 561, not much time for painting, a little more base coating
There is no way I could keep up that sort of average. My average is probably 2-3 hours per day - but some are as low as 15 minutes.
Streak Day 561: It has begun
That’s a lot too
Which is why I know I could never keep up that average. I'm finishing an army every 6 months as it is.
Day 561 working on my pride month mini
d28 - analyzed this artwork for the colors I want to use for #1251023944685715517
D7 - Started detailing the front of this Gladiator. Somehow the NMM gold came out both fast and wound up looking good. Maybe I’m starting to learn what shapes look like? At least taking the first steps.
Edit to note that the shield's gold isn't done, just the top and left\ parts.
almost 5h average per day? Damn that's a lot of painting 
I'm at like 1 hour average painting time almost exactly for my streak, 1h20min if you count all hobby time
Day 165, working on drybrushing up the tiles
Streaking day 562: gnome building
196 a bit more general painting over several figures.
Wow those Minis look beautiful
Mine? They're mostly rising sun board game.
Yeah
Streak day #1292
Some more spookums
Day 71+14
Why isn’t it day 85?
Just mnemotecnic
I remember the amount on the first day of the month
And add the current date
I guess they dropped me as a kid
It’s day 85 indeed
Day 195: did some more reading
Such a Good book
that makes sense, I always forget what my streaking day is and have to find my previous post
Yeah I find it easy this way so I don’t have to find that past info
@snow axle Brushrage has already changed my life
Oh shit does this qualify as hobbying? We're about to do a bunch of travel, and I don't have any real way of painting on the road, so I was trying to figure out how I could keep it up.
Day 166, went outside for the ten minute clear stretch to spray some matte krylon on the tiles from yesterday. Also, feeling good about myself opened the bin that they'll go back in, feeling like I was making progress. Then realized I was ignoring the 2/3s of the bin that was walls and unpainted, so I pulled those out, to find that after spray priming them last year and letting them sit nearly two weeks, they were still tacky when I stored them so they were all stuck together and had to be gentle seperated as much as I could avoid pulling off primer. Yay for 85%+ humidity areas
Organize your projects on Brushrage while traveling, plan the paint used in the future etc etc
Just really enjoying laying out my paint sets so I don't actually forget how to lay out some of these colors anymore
Sometimes I go to a mini and I'm like "What did I do for bone last time?"
Going to make it easier to recreate basing schemes, paint schemes, also having the colors all laid out just makes it easier to see if I have a gap in color coverage somewhere
Yeah I’m able to see how much it took to do one unit or another and the time difference without using some paints/steps
Or what I’m left to do to achieve previous stage
Plus the photo organization is great. I really like being able to associate photos with the ongoing project and photos of the collection separately, and having it all broken out is just convenient.
I found out that preparing the paints I will use improves the time I take to then finish them from the start
You can also create sets/palettes or styles and paints needed
Or your own mixes
You can create your database while traveling
Prepare your future projects, etc all counts towards hobbying
Some people also
Work on their games sheets or read books
Etc etc
Or take a mini with a mold line removal tool and clean them
brushrage has a lot more stuff than paintrack and you can actually color correct the ones that are off which is what really sold me on it
the mixing option is great also
But Paintrack is payment no?
there's a free version and stuff you can pay to unlock iirc
Streak Day #87, starting basecoat
have made extensive use of this part lol
I think the only one keeping track is yourself, so if it's hobbying in your mind then count it. I certainly do.
I don't count watching youtube videos in general, but if I watch a tutorial with the intention to learn something and keep a mental note, then I would count that as hobbying
Ok this is good news for me.
Day 562, worked on the base
One thing that motivates me in the hobby is thinking about my projects at times during the day while I do a task that doesn't require a lot of concentration or when I move from one place to another, this keeps me motivated when I sit down at the workbench.
For myself I only count actually working on a model as I started my streak during the advent challenge a few years ago and still follow those rules.
When I travel I take a box with mould line removal stuff and a few models.
Day 562 more work on the Koala and a bit more work on my fry warlock.
To each his own!
I include stuff like reading books and studying (like really studying) art because for me these are very effective ways to improve at mini painting and it’s a different way to enjoy the hobby and connect it to other art forms
Yeah I'm not deriding anyone else's streak. Just inputting how I do mine
Like you said you don't include youtube.
@bitter gull I think about my projects when I need to relax, great for going to sleep
D29 built my slann starmister
D8 - spent too much time finishing this shield. It came out well. I need to think about some of the gold near the skull though, it sort of blends together. I have some ideas.
Good progress
Day 71+15
Day 167, my spouse is away and the weather is supposed to be remarkably clear and warm for the next few days, so big projects time that involve spray cans. Working on the wall tiles tonight, dark wash coat to equalize and suit the cracks. And using their desk, because they're away and it's an open flat surface.
- Reglued some bits that fell off on two old vehicles. Also painted some base rims.
You've used both Brush and Paint? I've heard the Paint dev is pretty good about adding new paints in when requested, is that your experience? Is that the case for the Brush?
Totally agree, my friend, that's how it works here too 🙌, I usually say that it's the hobby that saves me from spending money on a psychiatrist, it's what keeps my sanity balanced.😂
Streak Day 562: Scraped a mold line and read some Color and Light. Power was out and I couldn’t airbrush.
both are very responsive, but brushrage has a larger selection to start with
I use Paint Rack, I'll check out Brushrage and see what it looks like! 🥰
Lettuce now
Day 196: started on my entry for pezalong. It is the first time for me to use oil paints not just as a wash but as 'normal' paint. I am excited what I will learn along this journey
Streak day #1293
2 more. There's 5 more clipped out ones but I think I have like 4 more sprues worth -.-
Streaking day 563: primed a mech
D30 - finished up my assembly
That’s like an unnamed lord kroak?
Streak Day #88, making some textures on shield
day 1, trying to get back to it. cleaned some mold lines on the new-old old-new helmets and mounted them on pikes
Day 563 super glued the arm back on for the 3rd time 🤪
Streak Day 563: Started reading my book that I got for Father’s Day
Cool! Lmk how it goes
Day 563, not much time today, working on the NMM, and crystals
D9 - weird motivation day today. Cleaned up the front of this tank. Also finished kitbashing this wolf lord with thunder hammer late last night.
71+16
Thanks! Trying both out now; I like the Brushrage interface and functionality more, but Paintrack has a lot more of my paints in it; there's probably at least a dozen that it has that aren't in Brushrage.
Finished this guy up. A little too much pop in the gore, I think, but...
Will do 😃
198 more work on these after a day of gaming.
Write the dev maybe he can help you
Streak day #1294
Just one tonight so far. Probably go to bed soon.
Streaking day 564: Mech stuff
Day 197: a bit more work on Grogu
I definitely need to figure out how to get a covering coat with no surface structure with oil paints. The picture does not really show it, but many parts have a lot of texture from brush strokes that is not intended
But I really like how my first try with only oil paints comes along
I need to reach out to that dude to see if I can help at all. I’m more of a backend engineer though.
Streak Day #89, working on savage orc smoothing transitions
d31 worked on some small elements on my elucidian starstriders
Day 564, a little progress
ooh yes i really like the look of this kit. would never use them in a game i think but they're just SO characterful
Day 564 fixed the brush stroke off the face and painted a flat base
They’re super cool! These are even the “boring” ones. Soon I’ll jump into the more unique minis
day 2: trying to suss out if i could do some funky chromatic black shading on my dad's gift, but it'll be mostly tmm gold so: probably wouldn't look right. unfortunately no painting today
Day 168, finishing day. Put a final coat on all these guys, and started spray-canning the tile walls.
Coat of? Varnish? How and which method?
Day 71+17 not much so I can prime and then remove to paint
And will paint him today
- Still more slow progress on various figures.
Those katana girls look nice
Streak day #1295
2 More. Just 2 left in this batch now. So I think that brings me up to 40 chain rasps.
Streaking day 565: mech highlights
d32 - practiced blending on a tiny visor
Day 198: just some minutes rough work on the coat
Day 1: here we go again.
Streak Days 564 & 565: Dry brushing fail and more reading and practicing Procreate
Streak Day #90, preparing base with some pieces of bark
Welcome back, my friend!🥰
Day 565 hated the beetles. Restarted it again 😭
He looks like he wants to hold your hand.
Day 565, working on the blue
Yeah, brush-on AK Interactive Matte for the minis, and a can of matte varnish for the larger dungeon tiles not pictured in that shot.
Day 169, spent a good chunk of the day brainstorming stuff for a one-shot at a con while I did some hiking, but I also finished emptying my can of matte varnish on the other side of some of the dungeon tiles. Need to pick up more tomorrow to finish most of the single stone walls.
Day 71+18 will start with a good session of varnish
Done the varnish
And ordered the area a bit moving done things into storage and the separations into pick and paint, needs priming, work in progress
Day 200. Minor milestone. Worked on my female marines for take pride challenge.
Streak day #1296
There's the last 2 from this batch. Much earlier today.
Streaking day 566: finished pride mech and painted a bit of the mangler
Day 2: cleaning my heavy for aow3
Day 71+18.b after varnishing a lot of Minis started painting a new unit to prepare for spearhead, 2 hours each
Day 199: I worked a bit on the eyes and refined some parts on Grogu. Now I will wait until the oil paint is cured and then I will decide if I will define my first try with them as finished
Streak Day #91, adding light lost in smooth process
Streak Day 566: More reading and following along with my Procreate book. Being old stinks…My comprehension skills are horrible as of late. I keep reading the same chapter over and over 😆
Day 565 : I am finally happy with the beetles scheme. Let's gooo
He's very excited
the highlights mesh very well with the gold here, love that
❤️ aww ty
d33 - hooked my friend @fervent hawk up with some feedback and did some digital sketching
Sorry, that was meant to be a bad beatles joke.
No worries I'm apparently not very current on Beatles lore 😅
You don't have to be current, I want to hold your hand came out 61 years ago. 😄
I mean .. that is a few more than I have been alive
Same for me.
@jovial jacinth some days are like that
Day 566, game night, played with the minis
Day 170, pulled some more models, cemented them down, and primed them up.
Day 71+19
- A bit more on these.
John & Paul! 🎸
Streak day #1297
Clipped out another 20 to have sitting here to work on whenever.
D1: Yellow Coats
Streak Day 567: Started again on my Genderfae space marine for Pride Month
Streaking day 567: goose (and some gnomes)
Streak Day #092, fixed on the base
Day 3: cleaning models
Day 200: I cleaned the dispenser part of the Grogu PEZ and tried to take final pictures of him, but somehow my phone camera does not function as I wish ...
d34 - gap filling
Day 567, a bit more progress
Day 566 : working on the other 2 beetles and trying to decide on a base vibe
Day 171, fairly productive day off work. Besides spending time with the spouse and getting some exercise, did a final clearcoat on the other side of my stone cottage walls, did two coats on each side of these wooden walls and a wash shading coat as well, put away over forty painted and varnished figures from the past little bit, pulled some more to paint and scrubbed them up, glued together some in progress painting jobs, and also painted. And spent the evening chatting and playing with friends.
- Pretty near finished these. Needs to dry, touch up a little and put some more on the bases.
Day 567, medical procedure today, varnished a base
Hopefully you are okay 
Base looks great 😊
Streak day #1298
Cleaned up these two, also got this keyboard kit that I put together today. just using a default mapping now but hopefully I can write a new one soon. Got to get a few new keycaps too as most of these function ones are placeholders.
Streaking day 568: painted some of the gold parts
Day 4: still going
Day 201: vanished and primed some models
@copper wagon did fine, thanks for good wishes
Good!
D35 - started oils
Day 567 lil dirt golem
So excited for this one
D2: I love yellow I love yellow I love yellow I love yellow I love yellow
Day 2 restarting after forgetting to bring basically anything to do at Disneyland and just reading Progression Fantasy books instead: I am pleased with these tow hooks and all these front lenses. The front of this is looking more and more complete.
Day 172, put a couple layers of drybrushing on the wood tiles, we'll see how things look tomorrow. Started on this boy today too
Streak Day 567: Added shadows back on to my Pride Marine
Day 202 primed the rest of my rising sun figures.
Day 71+21 started with some basing
You've lost track of days! 20th should be day 568
Oops 😅, thanks for that
Streaking day 569: More paint on this
Streak day #1299
Started on the gaping dragon for dark souls. Did some more fiddling with the keyboard too.
d36 - worked more on this, identified some challenge areas
Streak Day #94, adding light points at rose skin
Day 5: more color.
Day 202: started to bring some color to the warmachine models with the airbrush. And I forgot to take a picture of the last step with violet over the whole models
Day 569, almost done
Day 568 basket of coins
yooo that looks really cool!!
I like that shading!
@coarse dew Ty
D3: Blue cockpit and some semblance of highlights
D3 - Sensor clusters and some black done. Red paneling up next probably. Some metal after that probably.
D6: finished at last two heroes
Day 71+22
If you're following my days I stuffed up.
Did 2 x 202.
- Another pretty boring one. Bulk green basecoating.
Wow that looks way colder in the photo - it's not so blue/green in real life.
Streaking day 570: beast snaggas on vacation
Day 173, trying out some colors on a wing, might get to blending out a gradient tomorrow and seeing if it looks decent before I do it for both.
Streak day #1300
Fixed the keying on all the limbs and did a but more cleaning.
The keying is basically all wrong on this one.
Streak Days 569 & 570: Started and finished my Genderfae flag on my space marine’s shoulder.
Streak Day #95, working on Viking Cat
Day 203: just some gloss varnish before applying an oil wash
Day 7: Primed and started zenital
Day 570 : working on the base and finished a few more details
Day 570, did some cleanup, black lining and worked some on the NMM on the seal
D37 did some sketching feedback for a friend
D4: Blacklining. It looks shitty but I learned a lot from it. It was hard to put it into the recesses mostly cause they are clogged up from base coat. Dabbing a little water to wet th are before putting it on helped
Day 174, just feeling ugh, but started on this guy's cloak. He was a booth freebie, I think; his sword bends like a politician's moral compass, and his hand has broken off about fifteen times. Also dropped off a pair of entries for a local painting contest; I'm confident I will place dead last, as despite no rubric or instructions being given, based on past performance and what I saw of the entries, I'm the only one who didn't paint W40 or SW.
Day 4 - red paneling, metal for heat shroud on engine, some ceramite. Also these cool fire extinguishers and fuel canister maybe? Every day I get closer and closer to done.
Don’t be too hard in yourself. Compare yourself to where you were yesterday and not to where others are today. Work on your systems. Not the goals. We value your effort every day, your improving of your art and craft. Keep going. Done is better than perfect. I hope you have a nice day
Day 71+23
- Worked on these two. Not much effect for the time given.
Day 71+23.b some priming to add to the pick and paint section
Streak day #1301
More cleaning, you'll see this one for a while I think. Dreading having to do all the teeth.
Streaking day 571: More summer cabin snaggas
Streak Day 571: More work on my Pride Marine
Streak Day #96, a little bit more, working on helmet, gloves, some textures of leather and eyes
Day 206: a light oil wash to help me while painting
@copper wagon Love the shoulde patches
@snow axle Well said, it is about improving and learning
Thank you 
Day 571, after gluing it on the base there were a couple gaps that formed, filled them, tomorrow I will finish it
ssssssiiiccckkkk
@jovial jacinth Ty
Heh, while I probably am, but I wasn't talking about my abilities there, so much as the disregard the assembled painters in question have for non-GW works. Technically speaking, I think my work demonstrates far more technique than almost if not all the pieces.
d38 - more sketching while traveling. should be back at my desk for real tomorrow!
Day 571 worked on the base and trying to decide which setup I prefer with or without the bowl
D5: Skipping for today. Was out for most of day and I'm mostly tired rn.
Day 8: going on with my nighthaunt army.
Day 5 - had a game today. Felt a little unmotivated after, so did most of the aquilas and called it a night. Dunno if I love the skull, I think there’s a bit too much pale yellow.
Day 71+24 I plan to start the day by doing metallics to him (and probably tongue and leathers)
Day 175 -- another of my slow projects is this guy. It's part of a kraken, and I'm unclear if the mouth is prey or predator in this scenario, but once it's assembled, it'll be pretty inaccessible, so I'm giving it a rudimentary paint job so it doesn't look terrible once assembled.
- A little work and repainted bass rimms. Got the base colour rong for these guys again. (Basing in grey).
Streaking day 572: back to painting. Also built one more ork
Streak day #1302
Did some more mould line removal
Day 207: just sprayed some matt varnish onto the miniatures to prepare for the following brush work
Day9: ongoing....
Streak Day #97, today was a complicated day here, there was almost no time for the hobby, adding some light to golden areas on helmet
Good job!
Streak Day 572: I got home super late and only had enough energy to touch a few things up on my Pride Marine
Day 572, finished my drake fo the Pride along
Day 572 gluing before we paint the rim
Thank you! 🥰
Fabulous job 🥰
Amazing, my friend! I love textures work on scales! 🐉
Wonderful, I like more with bowl and John, Paul & Ringo, bringing more light to front view! ❤️🔥
Awww ty!!
@bitter gull thank you
Day 176, still trying to work out what I want the wing gradient to look like, but I'm moving more towards this -- from a dark red to an orange I think
D6: worked on my suit
Day 6 - finished the one last Aquila I didn’t finish yesterday. Silver/steel/metal piping, heat shield, metal guard thing. Did some red on the bracket holding in the guard thing. This one side is so close to done.
Pipe exhaust tip area needs a little cleanup but I think I’m finally kind of starting to grasp NMM steel.
See a couple areas I wanna clean up now that I can look at it. Needs some better shadows in a couple spots and some blending cleanup in some others
Day 71+25 Ork skin and leather brown
Day 71+25.b
Vid didn’t upload last time
Streaking day 573: worked on a bunch of parts on this, and built 3 orks
Why didn’t I know about this?? Very cool dude!!!
I posted the prototype a while ago last year
I ripped it apart and rebuilt the inside to fit my hand better, and shove in a port to the arm frame i'm making
Must have missed that
The fingers move more naturally and its a little better after I mounted the index and thumb fingers together
Aw that sucks thanks for the compliment!
Here is the thing for the other arm, I’m working on the front stop rn but I finish it later on
Right now the front stop can’t keep the thingy from preemptively launching
Streak day #1303
One wing left and the body. Not much room for teeth procrastination left.
Look at all of those plastic shavings 🤯
Maintaining a texture through the mould lines takes a lot of carving
I’m sure. Especially on something that big
day 1: I'm starting off my first Space Marine. I'm gonna try my best to do hobby stuff every day even if it's minimal. I need this to keep making progress. 🐸 👍
Welcome, friend, I hope to see your work here for a long time!! This is our exercise gym, consistency is the best practice! ❤️
hell yeah.
Day 208: blocked in the metals on the three juggernauts
d40 - fun fun fun
holy poop, isnt that from warmachines? sick
they must be heavy no?
D7: began on the catapult. I’m pretty much done on the locust and painting more yellow or doing more dots on my tyranids sounds like hell right now
Streak Day #98, cleaning this gem!
Streak Day 573: More work on my marine
god old minis like that have such a big charm to me 🥰
i wish i could smoothen and polish the material to remove any unwanted porous texture
Day 573 base coating eyebulbs and added veins
Day 573, added some highlights to the Mohawk and varnished this mini
Wire brush and sand paper goes a long way
I love oldschool minis, there are a lot of Rackham and GW around here ❤️🔥, but it's true, this roughness is the worst thing about metal minis 😢, still thinking here if I'm going to make the diluted milliput paste, if I'm going to fill it with plastic putty or even burnish it with the sculpting tool, today I didn't have much time, I need a more peaceful moment to dedicate myself to the restoration.
THAT AQUILA IS CLEAN
Love this a lot.
d40
won't be d41?
Day 7 - not a lot done, just some blues I didn’t take a photo of on the other side of this guy, and I started this pelt. I love doing furs sometimes. Did more sitting than painting for whatever reason. Off for several days for vacation, working to keep something not directly painting related going, at least reading.
Yes, they are heavy warjacks for Khador. I do not know if I will ever be playing with the miniatures, but I like the design (but not the quality) of this older sculpts
- Worked on a few different figures.
Day 71+26
oops actually I posted twice yesterday, so I think it's still d40
Streak day #1304
last wing done
D11: more nighthaunts
day 2: just black primed, i might do more today but im thinking on how to tackle the blue armor. 
Just goblin skin plus the tongue to paint
And 1 day to do it basically 😅
Streaking day 574: More work here plus one ork built
Day 209: I did not like the color of the armour that I painted with the airbrush and repainted all of it with the brush. Not as smooth but in my opinion better colors and depth
Streak Day #99, continuing with the hippo adding some more lights and textures, in the end I decided to burnish the dwarf with my sculpting tools.
Streak Day 574: More work on my Pride Marine
@copper wagon I am loving your pride marine
Day 574, cleaned my work room to go back to an old hobby, I needed to sew some net bags for screen washing for fossils for that guy I live with, I had to work on 3 sewing machines until I found one that still worked
Day 574 : trying to make a leaf base out of cork. We shall see
d41
Forgot to post this last night: day 177, in a fit of insanity, I decided all these pointy things in the mouth that will be basically invisible once the model is glued were all teeth and needed to be painted. So I put some white on them.
Day 71+27.a started by planning priority for backlog and assessing it
Completed 75 units, to do 128, progress: 36,94% in almost 100 days of hobbying
D8: Inked it and then went back with the base coat on the raise areas. It was kinda mid so I had started to blackline
Dropped contrast paint to the wall just when I was
About to close it and finish the session.
@snow axle, you have 571 lifetime points and 571 points for 2024
Sorry wrong place 🤣
Day 178, working on blending out this cloak and then doing the trim work 🙂
208 working on a few figures.
Day 71+27.b tree lord and priming
Streak day #1305
Got to work on some heavy infantry.
Streaking day 575: finished this!
OMG!!! I love this!!!! 🥰
Day 12: more nighthaunts....
Day 210: panel lining and edge highlights ... Not my favourite tasks of painting
Amazing, wonderful work!!🤩💚
Streak Day #100, priming Dwarf and filling gaps of Orc
Streak Day 575: Finished the main part of my Pride Marine
Day 575, started preparing this goblin and of course broke the staff, the glue is not working, so tomorrow I will deal with it
D9: Came back with blue, I didn’t actually do any blacklining on the blue but the effect still shows, getting better at this whole “coloring inside the lines” thingy. I’ll have to come back for a second layer on the beige since it isn’t fully opaque and then blackline everything for a more defined look
day 3: squig
Day 575 bard
@jovial jacinth love it!
holy 😍
Day 179, exhausted from the sun, but I did do a spray coat of finish of the other sides of some of my core wall tiles
d42 - model prep
Day 71+28 started the day updating the finished models removing backgrounds and uploading to Instagram for future use
Other plans for the day include assembly for a priority unit for spearhead and continue painting a priority unit for spearhead
Streaking day 576: weekend will be spent at a festival, three extra low effort days incoming. Built a bit of ork
Music festival? Enjoy it!
Yeah 
71+28.a
Streak day #1306
Did some priming.
209 finished base on this.
71+28.b
D10: Fixed the launching mechanism. Works pretty well right now. Also screwed around with a “bow” we made and I thought I would include it
Isn’t that dangerous in a convention?
not going to a convention @snow axle
Wait which one are you talking about?
The arm or the little rubber band thingy
Day 211: did some work on the metals. And I am not sure whether the rivets will stay purple and just get a highlight or if I should paint them silver, which could look a bit busy for me.
Streak Day 101, almost no time to hobby today, only mold line removed on this
one of the best warhammer minis 🐸 🤙
I hope I do a good job on it, it's one of those that has been sitting on the shelf unpainted for many years.😅
hell yeah, it's been waiting for paint for so long that it's posing proudly now that its day has come 
I liked that, good perspective! 😃
Day 576, a bit more base coating
- Did a bunch of supergluing metal figures to bases.
300 kg in one photo 
day 4: i resumed the space marine thanks to nan's advice on blue armor paint, just testing up the blue and how it looks since im giga unfamiliar with blue, the highlights are a bit wonky right now and they're missing a bit and obv it aint just that shade of blue, there'll be like two more highlights surely 🐸

Not quite. But when I got back into gaming and was sorting out stuff I weighed my unpainted orks at 13kg.
Day 576 kitty
anudda update 🐸
d43 - my mate came over and we had some beers and made this terrain feature
Day 71+29 💯started the day with metallics
Streaking day 577: ork leg
Orks are great
71+29.b purple and coppers
And finished after 8:50hrs
Day 180, started on Dwarfie by putting a couple coats on
Streak Day 576: Worked on the helmet
Streak day #1307
Started painting up the man trappers.
d44 bases!
Day 71+29 day 100.c finished another model
Day 212: just put some colors onto the bases
Day 14: not in the mood. Just saw a davinci's video and clean my desk.
Day 577, finished basecoated, started on highlighting
I dig this model! Where’s it from?
day 5: i fucked up on the arm but that's giga fixable, the shoulderpad is the biggest challenge for me right now so i might have to watch some videos to learn how to do it properly
i'm in love with how i painted the lens
Hi, this dwarf is from Rackham, an old French brand that has ceased its activities in 2010. You can find it by searching on eBay. The Noble Knight store also usually has something from time to time. There is also a company from Ukraine that sells it. I don't know if they acquired the molds or if they are reproductions, as they also sell stls produced by them using the same aesthetic.
Cadwallon, this is the Provost Marshall of Uren.
Day 577 : Changing my FEP and realizing I forgot to remove one of the two protective plastics.. soooo Will be redoing it again tomorrow.. Oh and I also ended up cutting the underside of my foot so I am now wobbling around lol
D11: Break day, parents literally went land shopping then toa counsins house
Day 181, went out to try to stage a shoot of a scene from a song, this is what I neded up with.
Streaking day 578: arm
Day 71+30
Very cute
211 worked on these 3.
Thank you! I’ll see if anyone carries it in Canada
Streak day #1308
Man trappin'
wut
You said they went land shopping.. that's mtg land
It was a bad joke
I also hate myself for knowing what land and mtg is 🙃
Streak Day 577: Studied more of my Color and Light book
I love myself for owning plains that tap for forest misprints
Or swamps that regenerate
One of us, one of us!
I legit have very not good mtg thoughts lol so I will never indulge lol
And a misspenis
Day 213: painted the base rims.
The final details (gras, moss etc) on the bases and the markings on the base rims will be done when all other models are finished
day 6: might not be able to paint but i have been checking a whole lotta miniaturista's patreon PDF's (disappointed with how much airbrush there is but its okay) 🐸
He loves airbrushing
Streak Day 103, working a little bit
yeah, i got a bit disappointed because some of his brush works look nice but most if not nearly all tutorials are pure airbrush and a tiny bit of brushing
I had a certain resistance to using the airbrush , worried that it could get clogged in the middle of the process or ruin the entire work because of a spider web, but I fully integrated its use into my process and today I enjoy using the airbrush and I feel comfortable and safe using it!
Day 578, getting closer, I find 28 mm minis to be harder to do than big ones, any body else feel that way?
Day 578 painted the coins and started a shadow / light area
I believe they are more difficult, mainly because there is less space to make transitions, to work with textures, to create volumes, many times. A fold of fabric can only be used for a single brushstroke, which makes artistic expression more difficult. However, after so many years of painting in this scale, I have gotten so used to it that 28/32mm seems to be the best scale.
D45 - worked on this fun assassin
D12: put in a bunch of work on this guy for AOW
Day 15: just clean mold lines in a figure i already started painting.
- Almost finished this in one sitting.
Day 101+1:
Day 182, continuing on with this guy, putting shades and highlights on the cloak mostly.
Streak Day 578: Finished the head of my Marine, no picture. Also read more Color and Light.
Love the retro vibes of this!
Streak day #1309
Get purped
Purple always good option
Color corrected and balacklined. Except for the launchers red and metal but I’ll do that later. D13
Streaking day 579: ork
Day 214: read in a book about terrain making for a future project
Streak Day 104, removing mold lines in this…
Day 579 work on the bracers. Base coated the pillows and a few little details
Day 579, worked on a color scheme for a fish person
d46 - painted some more starstriders but I forgot to take a picture
Day 101+2
- Working on this.
Streak day #1310
Did some smoothing and gap filling with putty
Nice Chainrasps what putty you recommend
Streaking day 580: second to last ork
I use tamiya putty basic type. Just smear it on with a toothpick to get in in the gap then I can scrape it back with a knife the next day after it dries.
It's based on the same stuff as the glue so it bonds to the plastic.
Day 215: started to plan the game board, checked my material stock and ordered some things I am missing
I need to get some
Forgot to post my day 183, added some paste to his base to work with later, doing some touchups, and realizing I need to glaze that cloak down in particular in that shot.
Streak Day 105, cleaned and primed for Green Skin PAL
Day 580, started prep on a gold dragon, continuing prep on a sahuagin, discovered I don’t have the matching base, may have to make it
Day 580 guitar work and bracers... and the pillows.. and jyst details
Beautiful!!😍🤩
D14: swapped projects for a little bit coated them with white then did a test model in red
d47 -
Day 184, a few touchups and getting him to a pause place as I head out on a trip
- More on ork plus other bits and pieces - then early to bed
Day 101+3
So atmospheric with that background
Having fun with Photoroom app
d48 - couple brush strokes before going camping
plan to get my streaking while away from my desk in nature in by drawing my friends' figures - laying the groundwork for sculpting one day
Streaking day 581: Last ork built and put bullet accessories on them all. Still gotta drill barrels, fill gaps and put them on bases. I don't like this part 
Haha armies am I right
Streak day #1311
Just one spooky ghost tonight. Had some spread sheeting to do
Day 581, details, dumped an entire pot of Drakensho nightshade in my lap
I messed up the wall the other day and primed in white scar
Day 216: started to glue some things to the board
Nice project
Streak Day 106, base coated
Streak Days 579 & 580: Started on my banner yesterday and I couldn’t help but fiddle with the head again 😅. Pretty sure it’s done now.
Day 581 so close but the tusk needs work. Also base coated a blueberry head
D15: Swapping back cause I can’t focus and I added accent colors to the cockpit and the missles
- Worked on these two.
Day 101+4
Streak day #1312
Some work on the body and back legs
Streaking day 582: was putting squigs on bases but I ran out of super glue 
D16:Highlighted the cockpit. I might finish him soon or I might go back to the nids
D1: here we go again. Starting making list of priorities to paint and looking my pile of potential to motivate me.
Day 217: continued reading in my terrain book while I am waiting for the missing materials to be deliverd
Streak Day 107, a little bit more of my Dwarf
Day 582, found time to trim off some sprue
Day 582 : tried to make leather armor but then somehow accidentally made nmm copper?
101+5:
What have you prioritized so far? Focus on improving your systems, it’s just one system, not overwhelmed with multiple goals.
First finish my open proyects. And i have found that the alongs works very well for me because i can advance in several proyects at the same time without feeling overhelmed.
- Mostly worked on this one.
I like to hear you say that. I noticed you entered a bit negative days before, keep it up, good work!
Streak day #1313
Started on the teeth, this is going to take ages
101+5.b started a shaman and cleaned and drilled some goblins
Streaking day 583: based the rest of my squigs
Streak Day 582: More on my banner
Day 218: still waiting for the materials and therefore just reading on building a gaming board (which fits better than I like because I became ill)
D2 cleaning mold lines
I hope you feel better soon 
In Tahoe and because I couldn’t bring painting supplies I will pause my streak since I literally cannot continue it. I’ll pick it up on Sunday when I return
@soft marten I hope you feel better soon
Day 583, more prep, filled dimples, started pinning the parts
Streak Day 108, added more light points in face, NMM.

Streak Day 584: Ready for details on the banner
Day 584, more pinning, got the first wing glued
That's a hell of a gap to fill
Seriously - wing overlaps on the bottom and comes up short on top. Godspeed, friend.

Streaking day 585: not feeling like warhammer, but still goblins. Might actually get some of this stuff painted next
Days 219 & 220:
Thank you all for your good wishes 🥰
Yesterday was again spend with the terrain book on the sofa but today I started to carve some bases for the rocks on the new board. I hope the cork bits I ordered will be delivered tomorrow
Streak Day 110, today worked more, adding some texture in fabric, gloves and shoes
Day 585, finished assembly of dragon, almost done with panther rogue finally found the base, it was right where I put it, I just didn’t see it, started preparing a troll. @obsidian estuary it’s a terrible gap, it came down to aligning the front with the limb or gap filling the webbing, I hope I chose wisely
D17: back at it. Easy job with basecosting all their flesh with the first layer
- Worked on these.
Day 586: if you bring a kit to woek on when you are away. Don't forget snips.. it's awful trying to use only a blade and not hurt anyone

Where u going dork?
We are in toronto for a few days. And we are going to the zoo
Nice!
Have fun and take a lot of pictures
enjoy the zoo
Streak day #1316
Doing these teeth is really tedious. The gums between them are the worst though
Day 1 - Finally figured out what I can do while traveling (sketching and editing). Also started this Infiltrator. Did all the blue black and started on the leg.
Streaking day 586: put together a third goblin and did bases
I took very lil pics today
Day 221: the cork arrived and I started to glue on the first pieces
YOOOO WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON THAT LOOKS SICK AF
Thank you
It is going to be a demonstration board for the skirmish game 'Freebooter's Fate'.
Day 586, got a lot done today, primed a troll, finished the panther rogue for Feline Along, started gap filling a dragon
Streak Day 111, added some hues to this Space Wolf
D18: 2nd coat.
Days 185, 186, 187, 188, 189; camping out where there is no signal and no computer, but I brought my phone with downloaded copies of gm notes to flesh out some background stuff.
days 49-53 lots of sketching while camping and then back to my painting desk for some elucidian starstriders!
Day 2 - armored up now basically. A backpack and an arm to go.
Day 190, back to the table, and spent it wasting paint... er, basecoating a large figure. Mostly.
Streak Day 586: One paint stroke and more reading Color and Light
220 some painting and a bit of bannering.
101+9
Ah crap, I can't take plastic glue on a plane can I? Was gonna take a sprue and tools with me on vacation and build a model or two to keep the streak alive
Look it up with whatever security agency you’re flying with - they generally have the full list of restrictions on their website.
For us I think it’s just liquids under a certain mL but definitely check the restrictions page.
Yeah trying to figure it out. It might be allowed because nail polish remover is fine under 100ml
Streaking day 587: primed gobbos (the one in color is one I started but never finished, ages ago)
Streak day #1317
did some prep work on some bloodbowl minis
Day 222: another rock is covered in cork
Streak Day 587: Removed some mold lines and almost finished Color and Light
Day 587, filling gaps
Streak Day 112, painting pig
Day 587 idk what's happening but It's happening
D19: SUIT WORK!!! improvements to functionality
d54 - pained with a friend!
Day 3 - lots of fun stuff. Medpacks, weird needle dispensers, leathers, this dude’s left arm (who needs left arms). Tomorrow I’m tackling the left shoulderpad which I am amped on. This one looks fun. Any leftover time will probably go into the bolt gun.
I am so in love with this. Yall must have had a good time.
- Just glued sand to bases.
101+10
Streak day #1318
Scored up all the bases and did some more final pass cleaning on a few
Pardon my ignorance, but why score bases? Does it just help basing compound stick better?
Gives some tooth for stuff to grip to. Not always needed but sometimes you can end up with your basing stuff peeling off in a sheet. The plastic on these bases is particularly hard and smooth so I do it as a precation
My milliput bases kept popping up of those nice hallowed bases that Malifaux uses
Luckily none of them broke so was easy to glue them in place again
Streaking day 588: basecoats started
Day 223: two more rocks
Where are these gobbos from?
Can you show me what cork you use? Mine always looks decidedly like cork
I am using these pieces of cork bark. They are from a German shop which sells them for decoration and for animals. They also offer large chunks.

Thank you! Looks much more like rock than mine haha
Huh, cork bark. TIL.
Streak Day 113, more work in back side, violets

I think they are from Moonstone

Try to get pine bark. Infinitely more rock looking then cork ever is
Good thing I live in Canada 😂
Man Moonstone stuff really appeals to me haha. Every time I see something I like and ask where it’s from it is Moonstone.
D20: did knees. Very lazy
Day 588 back to work on blueberry
Moonstone
Oh someone already answered 😅

Amazing!!!🤩
Streak Day 116, smoothing some areas and adding light points
Thinking about add some fluo in pig runes, maybe green or blue…🤔
Day 591 finished lil zombie
A fluorescent or honestly just like a straight blue black or brown black might also look really bold
That pig looks so good
I was thinking about blue, but I don't really like fluorescent blue, I have AK and Scale75. I just applied a white ink to the grooves, first I'm going to try a very diluted fluorescent blue and do a glazing to see if it gets lighter, if I don't like it I'll try with blue black as you suggested, thank you very much! 🥰
I've been watching your posts on this dude for a minute and have really enjoyed watching them come together 🙂
Very good to hear this, my friend, I'm very glad you liked it, after all this is a motivational topic and what can be more motivating than sharing our hobby and exchanging ideas and even more so receiving a compliment, it certainly makes the effort to keep improving have a greater meaning. Thank you!! ❤️🔥
D23: I was GONNA paint but instead this motherfucker DROPPED and his tip broke. I had to glue it together and sat there for 35 minutes holding it together and it wouldn’t fucking come back together. Overall it RUIJED MY AFTERNOON and I just left my desk cause of THIS MOTHEFUCKER

Day 9 - Small uninspired progress on this Infiltrator. Not thrilled with the brown fur yet. Probably need to push the contrast still, just need to figure out which colors. But what I am ACTUALLY going to do is paint the rest of the shoulderpad first, so I can see what some of the light over there looks like, which I think will help a lot.
Streaking day 594: sprues and tools packed
D5: looks i back to painting. 5 models done
