Ooo beetle knight
I might paint a dragon fly thing from dtl idk yet
I'm thinking this but I haven't printed and decide yet
whoa, looks rad
what colors are you gonna go for? πΈ
I.. don't know yet π
I'd like to do a basic bitch green
hell yeah π₯
Hmm I still need to figure out my bug for this. I've been hankering to try the cyberia turbodork paint and this might be a good canidate.
I know I have a couple of umber hulks, and at least one dragonflyish thing. I think I have a ankeg or antlion of some kind somewhere.
I will try this dragonfly
To lazy to sort through boxes so snagged a scorpion while I was out and about.
Say hello to my friends of various sizes
And this is how they look after a bit of time with the airbrush π now adding details with the brush...
Now watching texture paint dry, time for a cup of tea β
Tomorrow painting the bases and they should be ready to nomnomnom some space marines
He's so freaking adorbs
yeah i LOVE it
im not sure what color it'll be but god i want to paint it kek
i honestly dont wanna paint it like a ladybug (which it is)
these look nice
Guitar villain looks cool
I also love Mr pigeon
the gamer palette π€£
a gamer ladybug 
(that's why it's so pissed off, very toxic gamer)
Lady WiFi and Kung food could be good as well
Two big bugs and 5 normal ones done
Spiders!
Kung food looks really good too yeah
god damn them nids look really neat β¨
AUSTRALIAN SPIDERS AIIIEEEEE
Found me some sp00ders
gon getcha π·οΈ πΈοΈ
wip on bugalong.
fuckin amazing
I have a questionn, I finally finished this model kit but I'm wondering if I can submit it thru bugalong or not. I did the bulk of the kit earlier this year but finished the details on the bug this past weekend as well as the basing. But since I didn't work on it solely within this month/May I wasn't sure it would be fair to count. π
I don't mind submitting just for general points either. Just happy to be done with it!
Wonderful piece! I love it!
Strictly speaking, that would be against the rules since you can't start painting before the first day of the first month of the PAL, you can only prepare/build and prime before that day.
Noted and thank you so much!
Heya! Unfortunately if you started painting it prior to April it can't be submitted for the PAL. You can still share the photo Here it looks great!.
Slight update
so many spiders π¨ π±
As long as they don't get in my hair
π
too late π
Color shift spray over clear insect wings gives a nice realistic shimmer.
here is my completed bugalong
Tiny Spooder lady is done
wild that someone would be happy about having a spider the size of your hand crawling around you........
I'm gonna post my ladybug mini and get it ready for painting later ποΈ
I think she's supposed to be like a spider charmer but yeah I don't think I'd be that comfortable especially if I'm wearing a skirt

π
cease.
no more talk about spiders crawling in private bits. π π π π π
im quitting this paintalong!! π
honestly painting a spider would be cool but a bit horrifying and also a bit difficult because of the legs being so thin
unless the model is really well made
like the Arachnarok
Awww no worries. π«
imma probably go for a paint scheme like the Hercules Beetle, with the sand-like color with dark spots around
like dis
though there are a trillion schemes i could go for π
Ao cool!!
ye
it looks really fun to paint 
but also i'd need those colors to be exact
because if it looks off, it'll look quite off
damn that's actually on point lmao
damn das cool as fug
try and try again!! it's paint! 
Lol it is Iβm using some older paint I have because Iβm traveling and let me tell you
Itβs not enjoyable
such a cute ladybug fierce beetle
reference photos for my bug project 
wtf thats so nice 
kek
I plan on doing this ankheg
I love that model
holy qooq thats great

Wild spider lol
Lol the boring clear bases are so lame@but so preferred for gaming with
gog damn thats really neato, i love the colors 
the yellow does look quite "reflective" in a way, pretty cool
Thank you!! I tried to copy this IRL spider
Lol didnβt quite work but Iβm happy enough with it! Iβll have to try again on the BIG spider I have
honestly, it looks pretty nice, but you did pick up quite a tough scheme for simple paints kek
Planning on painting this critter
I mean I'm probably aiming for sometime this week
ye
I was going for this scheme, I think it turned out pretty well.
Love it
damn thats great stuff 
Thanks yall
Uhm yes heβs amazing!!!
Look at this champ π₯°
hell YEAH
Heβs amazing
imma try to finish the buggo during the weekend or next week
i have been trying really hard to get some wooden bases (plinths or w.e) but for some reason they're rare to get wtf lol
Painting this tyranid warrior for the bug along.
Made some good progress on my ankheg
I can dig it
I painted this scorpion over the last few days
I hope that I'll have time to finish at least one before end of month
Yellow stripes and flesh shade looks surprisingly nicer than I thought it would...
Finished my ankheg
So cool!
I didn't liked the model when I started and had no idea what to do with it. I looked for some ideas online and they look decent enough for tabletop. Will get better pics after varnish in the next few days
These are supposed to be some kind of hedgehogs/wasps by the way...that's why it's so weird
These are pretty cool... when you said hedgehog i mind went straight to sonic / wasp hybrid hehe
brainstormin da base before this paintalong ends!!! π
i wanna finish it before the paintalong ends π
Proper pictures after matte varnishing, they seem to be called hedgehornets by the way...
maybe I can add some more mushrooms
but the empty spot is because of the bug standing there
i didnt wanna go overboard either
tomorrow i might finish it finally 
so sorry that I took so long
the saddest thing is that the mini was dusted a bit with a brush that my mom used beforehand, so it had sparkles all over it π
I got rid of most, but yeah, it took me a little today
also honestly the wings are a hassle to paint mostly because the printing is kinda bad there and the modelling is weird
Oh it's okay Sacrilege he looks amazing as is!
