Day 10: more basecoating
Streaking day 1147: started yellow highlights
Streaking day 62+20 ongoing proyects
Day 1147, busy day, only managed to sand and prime a base, put away paints from my last projects
130, more dreadnaught details. Seriously, priming it metallic saved SO much time. Glad I tried again.
Day 52: Experimenting with grenade trail for competition piece… Not sure…
Day 59. Just extended the streak today.
Day 62+21 finished on the night veil as it should be painting cryx warkacks now needs wheathering it. (Not really know how but ill see)
Day 751, clipped, cleaned, and glued up some more bases with their figures. The last batch... I mean, the primer stuck, but it's the bubbliest mess I've seen short of Wizkids trash. So not doing that again.
Big failure for me yesterday. I’ll have to come back and start another streak in a week or so.
Day 51: I was unable to remove the glue without taking the paint off, so I just dropped the head in acetone and will start from scratch
Day 131, adding more dreadnaught details. I’m digging the little—I guess they’re aquilas.? And the bit o blood on the sword going through a Tyranid head. Our son plays Tyranids so DH will enjoy that little detail next time he fields this model 😁
Streak day #1878
Finished Yarrick up, I'm still confused by how hard this pewter is. I wonder if the mix was weird
Streaking day 1148: what is best in life? Yellow edge highlights💛
Day 11: thought about the weapon options for the crypt guard conversion. Cryptguard has "cursed weapons" in its stat block, i have the options for some lumineth spears/shields and cryptguard halbers/swords. lets see how i feel when i get to them
Looking forward for your next streak! Your models are breathtaking
Day 1148, worked on some bases
Day 52: glue before paint, this is the way.
Day 53: Not much today, just painted bit of the base. No time for photos.
Day 60. Well, I reached a big milestone but I’ve lost a war with myself and am going to restart my current project. Dunno if I’ll make Day 61 tbh.
Day 752, hair and feathers mostly today.
Streak day #1879
Did my assassin. It's an old Necromunda spyre model
These look like oreos XD
@obsidian estuary They really do
Day 12: inner leg blindspots painted
Streaking day 1149: Painted some skin
132,, hard to tell, but I started some of the darker parts on the baby carrier
Day 53: primer and base coating on the new head.
@pearl crow I think you jumped ahead, we should be 1149
well that's what it says
I worked on a color plan for a dwarf fighter
Day 61: I did end up taking a break from painting but I still hobbied. Cleaned some sprues/mouldlines and drilled my first barrel.
you have no day at all! 
Day 54: Basically finished at this point.
Day 753, remembered that I need to start adding basing materials to my PAL stuff, so putting snow on my #1439449445828657284 so I can hopefully finish up before next month starts
Streak day #1880
This particular sculpt definitely had mould damage
Streaking day 1150: skin finished on orks, and started on black parts
Day 133, nothing worth a picture, just more of the same on the dread knight
Yeah it did 😅
Day 55: Photoshoot!
Day 62. More cleaning, scrubbing, gluing, and prepping.
Day 54: some color blocking on the head
Day 754, con day, and also shading snow from yesterday
Streak day #1881
Finished this dude. There was basically a mass of metal that needed cutting away from a torn mould 🙁
Day 134, will probably paint, too, but tried out a photo shoot with the black paper backdrop I finally got
Day 62+24 finished two minis
Streaking day 1151: highlights on black parts
Day 13: i think ill stop streaking for atleast now. Going at my own pace. Ill still post some stuff on my painting journal tho. Also glued some cryptguard
Day 1151, not feeling good, so only spent half hour or so, painted the dwarfs leathers, the Santa’s skin.
Day 56: further cleanup
Day 55: first pass on the face, still not finished. Also I cleaned my brushes, must take care of the tools.
Day 63. TIL spraypaint is very difficult to get off a model that you accidentally coated like a snowglobe....
Day 755, another con day, and playing with more basing stuff. Found out that there was probably some important instructions on the part of the label of one bottle of mud I had; it seems, unlike 95% of my stuff, it is not water-based/workable acrylics, but rather needs to be used with enamel paint thinner (is that different than regular? I don't think so). Too bad the label wraps around too far. Thankful I use my junk brushes for basing anyways.
, day 6,I think i made it to dark
Streak day #1882
Another one. Should probably pick up the pace if I want to press cast gas masks for all of them tough
Day 1152, did some base coating on Santa
Streaking day 1152: finished black and highlighted leather
Day 135, some glowy bits in process…I hope they end up looking glowy!
Day 64. Did a bunch of priming and zenithal highlighting. Getting for that good ol' Stillmania challenge
Day 57: No photos today.
Day 56: improved the face a bit, tried to improve the helmet but that needs a lot more work.
Day 756, last con day, put in my third volunteer shift helping clean up. Sold out two days and announced they're having to expand an annex to a nearby building because of the load next year, so that's nice. Mixed together some pastes to try and give a kind of wasteland base, we'll see how it sets up.

Day 794, got color on pretty much everything now, feels a little discordant, but we'll see how it all comes out. Need to dim the purples, I think, and I don't love the spaulders, but it's paint.

Streak day #1923
Working on some bases tonight. Will have company the next few nights so I don't think I'll have much time
If you have any gloss varnish try brushing it on in the inside of that console recess. It goes into the gaps and self levels so it will lessen the print lines in there
I will try that, thanks!
Day 176, back to the banner

I'm starting an international move this weekend so my streak days are going to be all over the place, but my goal atm is to not miss back to back days if I can help it.

Streak day #1935
Set up some bases
Streaking day 1205: Building! Tomorrow painting, I think
Forgot to post last night, day 808, because delaying game until next week means rather than start on the harpy I might need in the next session or two, I should totally start on lizard's for something probably months away!
Day 13: Infernus
@thorn stump absolutely, that’s usually how I do it, procrastination by being busy, only professional procrastinators reach this level
Speaking of which, day 1205, decided to get started on this dweomercat I a
Was avoiding so I can avoid the last 2 serpent folk that I was working on to avoid the dweomercat
Day 188, proper this time! Went back to these guys and did some edge highlighting, touch ups, and guess what? I found EVEN MORE purity seals I’d missed. 🙄
Day 110: second pass on the lights beneath the seats, the printing was poor there and I had to remove some plastic to make it better.

Day 112: tried to make a glow effect and now I feel very conflicted, it looks good on the picture but looks bad in real life. Tomorrow me will have to make a decision.

Day 1208, not feeling well and packing for a trip, I did manage to enter the minis I bought yesterday into m y inventory spreadsheet.
Day 113: this time I made the glow effect by airbrushing yellow and painting white on the middle. I think it's better than yellow inside and white around of the previous version. I also applied it to bottom lights on the rim of the pod.

Day 1215, back home, started highlighting
Day 819, did a little work on his cloak, but busy with normal stuff for the day and also being cranky over "people" who schedule meetings for first thing Monday morning (read: sadists), while failing to provide information about the location, the rubric for evaluation, or the proposals for evaluation that need to be processed prior to said meeting, before the end of day Friday.
Streak day #1946
Did a bunch today. It's down to the wire, got to take them away with me.

Streak day #1952
Based a few more. Need to take stock on these batches and see if I'm good to putty the rest.

in person
Lucky, I can’t seem to find any in Australia

Streaking day 1223: Forgot yesterday so here's a pic from yesterday, painted white on this guy
Streaking day 1224: And here is from today, minor building
Streak day #1954
All the basing complete on this batch
You have to usually organise someone and collectively fly them out here.
Meg Maples live here though, based in Geelong I believe
Primed a shield
I hope to one day have sufficient disposable income to fly them out to give me one on one lessons for a week… sighs That shit is never happening…
Day 207, just took some pictures of my latest batch before they get their varnish. I was excited to capture the wet blending this guy’s cloak, though I didn’t do it justice, really.
Day 129: the epoxy fix went fine.
It's something you do as a group. I think people organised one for a slayer sword winning guy a few years back in Melbourne. I was going to go but it was like 400 per day and that was too much for me.
How many people?
I'm not sure how many attended. It seemed like it was atleast 10-20. I think they were 6 or 8 hour days
Day 828, trying to close some seams with Tamiya and miserably failing.
So about 5k per day for 6-8 hours of 1-1 lessons… That’s… Annoyingly tempting. Albeit half a year of disposable income.
You could probably negotiate anything with a given painter. It would be up to them. But at minimum expect you cover flights, accommodation, plus an hourly rate for all their time.
Don’t tempt me. My wallet is already furious at me.
Day 33: Starting my first commission. Assembled, primed and ready for painting.
Streak day #1955
Cleaned and ork body

Day 1225, basecoated the shield

Day 130: printed more parts
Day 829, working on putting paint on this guy. You can see the big cavern seam along the right side of his back there
Day 34: Started working on cape for commission. For $15AUD per mini I’d say this level isn’t too bad.
Streak day #1956
Bit of an experiment here to see if I can get some good gas mask casts. I'd ideally like all the storm troopers to have their masks on in a steel legion army.
Streaking day 1226: a few more parts
How are you going to do it?
You profile the face there then pour material and use the form to then put back over the model?
Day 1226, started assembly on a black dragon
Day 131: glued the arms
Day 209, wash on bases, and starting pauldron base coats
Day 1, back to painting consistently again. Finished up this dude’s bolter and backpack decoration. It is nice to be this close to done with a mini again.
Day 830, project that's been sitting on the desk mocking me partly done, did a little work lining out the carvings on the bone today
Ideally given the helmet have a uniform shape I can press cast teh gas masks shave them thin then push them onto the face with a little blob of green stuff behind
Sound like you have a plan! Good luck 🙂
Day 35: More work on commission.
Streak day #1957
Set up the moulds. I don't have a lot of faith in the whole head one, I think I remember the silicon making the putty a little upset
Day 1227, finished gluing the dragon
Streaking day 1227: painting some white again
Day 132: some nice boxers
Day 210, tons of work on these Interceptors
Day 2 - lazed out a bit, only really did this face and the neck armor helmet thing.
Love the Carl! Looking forward to seeing the progress on this!
Day 36: Finished everything except eyes which are being done as a group.
Day 831, working on his armor a bit
Streak day #1958
Did 5 of them. The 2 set up in the press cast are superior to the stamped on ones so I'll just slowly do 2 at a time
Streaking day 1228: More white
Thanks! I had to print it big in order to the tatoos and patches be visible.
Day 832, going to be another nonpainting busy evening, so getting it done early. In this case, a primer day, because I don't need well-rounded lighting so much for that.
Day 1228, washed the dragon, worked on a myceloid I have been avoiding for a long time
Day 211, eyes, starting the glaze work on swords
Day 123: weekends are for printing
Day 3: Down to just basing on this one. Will probably start up the next member of the unit and just base a few at once.
Day 37: Started the other 4
Streak day #1959
Cleaned up the faces a bit now they're set and cast a few more. I think these will work really well once primed
Streaking day 1229: some coat
Day 124: priming the legs and first coat of base color.
Day 212, more glazing
Day 4: lots of priming. Started painting this guy. Primed a mini I’m gonna try to do for the Sketch-A-Long.
Day 833, starting on someone who appears to be drow now
Day 38: Yes I’m 28 minutes late but I also only just finished. Rimmed, varnished, and very nearly finished. Day 39 coming later today.
Streak day #1960
Cast some more masks and magnetised some bases
Streaking day 1230: coat
Day 1230, started gap filling
Day 213, more glazing & edge highlighting and I probably shouldn’t have tried to do that part tired…
Day 125: switching from citadel to scale 75 for this skin.
Day 5. Lazy-ish day. Did some more ceramite work.
Day 834, I really love the way her skin tone is working out so far, but I am a bit nervous about continuing to bring up highlights on it.
Day 39: Yes I’m “late” again but welcome to my nocturnal schedule. Finished them off.
Streaking day 1231: coat work, but different coat!
Streak day #1961
Cleaned the weapons on this urbie
That is a strangely cute mech
Day 1231, more gap filling
I think that's why people like urban mechs so much
Day 214, I know I haven’t shown a progress pic in a bit. Cleaned up the rims on the group in the back and did gold sword handle base coats on ones on the front
Day 126: some shading on the skin

Day 41: Working on my army

Packing for some time away so just cleaned the urbies legs

Day 1233, getting close on my dwarf fighter
Day 216, and I ended up doing a lot: varnished a couple units, basewashed another unit, and finished interceptor backpacks and a few other of their details. I didn’t keep great posture annnnd now my back aches. 🤦🏻♀️🤣
Day 128: first round of highlights on the hair
Day 8: mostly spent trying to make sure I understood how basing worked. Realized I’d never like, watch anyone do it before. Watched a few YouTube videos, realized I had limited idea what I was doing before. Now I gotta think.
Day 837, worked a little on his buckles and the haft of his axe, as well as a first coat on the base. Also, seduced one party member with harpies, the mud came alive and tried to eat him, and another party member got a mud buddy that's following him around now.
Day 42: More work on army
Streak day #1964
Finished up the urbie. Hopefully some painting on the imperial guard tomorrow. Hoping I brought everything i need
Day 217, after a marathon day yesterday, not much time today. I dismounted the models I varnished yesterday from their coke caps and numbered them. (For some reason, when I started last fall, I wanted to keep track of my progress by numbering them)
Streaking day 1234: built a bit

Streaking day 1239: finished building this
As long as all you’re using it for is mini painting…
What is that for
Day 843, the base for the satyr from yesterday. These larger clumps don't like to stay down with PVA glue, and I always have trouble figuring out where to drill the holes to attach the figure
It's for sanding the mini, great for the more hard to reach places. instead of rotating the sandpaper, it moves back and forth on one direction.
Streaking day 1240: sprue cleaning and one missing part from the kapricus
Streak day #1970
Forgot to take a picture but did the coat and undershade on another guy
I tend to use super glue for those
Are you just super careful with it? My experience with it is it for this is it doesn't spread or wick as well as watered PVA so it doesn't spread out the bond as much, and it also leaves an ugly kind of white powder glaze on surfaces?
Day 1240, found more gaps on the dragon, started painting the base
Day 223, finishing details before 📸 & varnish
I have super thin stuff from Bob Smith industries as well which helps. I also push it down with bendy tweezers. As for the residue that's an off gassing that happens so if you have a small desk fan you can blow it over them as they dry to make it not do it. You can also brush it off later
Day 135: base coating the sparks of the dynamite.
Day 844, had some time waiting for family to swing by so did some more fluffing on bases and cutting tufts.

Day 138: printing failed many times. Spent a lot of time trying to make it work but couldn't. Current guess is that it's too hot for printing, and this resin became too liquid to stick to the plate.

Day 59+60: Lots and lots of painting. Got all these guys tabletop ready for game night yesterday, and did the rims for ones I’d painted. Going to keep working on some of them though as they’re not up to my standard. Did Mephiston in a quick 2.5 hour session as well before game, finished him 20 minutes before I had to leave. I also ended up winning my game. Day 61 will happen later today.
Day 147: learning how to use blender-mcp to generate references for nmm.
ChatGPT can mock up good references too
Prompt was: Leave the miniature's shape unchanged; only change the material. Make it metallic with a chrome finish.
Then: Now make cloth red, and the letters on the pauldrons and top of shin gold. Make it look like a professionally painted NMM miniature Grey Knight from Warhammer 40K
I have tried using gpt before, the problem is that it generates only one side. On blender i was able to generate for multiple angles, just change with the mouse!
Using blender-mcp is similar, my prompt was "here's the cover of the book, make a material for the glove that is similar to the glove in the cover"
So instead of generating the image, it controls blender to generate the look you want.
