thewarriorhunter Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Steal all you like. Took it for a test drive today and it worked well, however I have some larger bits that struggled to stay on so I'll be adding some larger magnets for those.

Bryan Blaire Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I’ve actually been trying to do a magnet and pin for exactly that reason - bits falling off or moving too much, but aren’t necessarily large enough for a bigger magnet, plus it helps keep the bits in place on the model. I just use small sections of paperclip - that seems to be enough to help stabilize things.

ThePenitentOne Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Today was a good one- overcome my fear of finecast; cleaned and assembled 4 Death Cult Assassins and 3 Arcoflagellants.

Karhedron Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I'm not looking forward to figuring out the varnish question on the models I'm using contrast paints on because that stuff is fragile as tortilla chips. After a fair bit of trial and error over the years, I have settled on Halfords satin lacquer for protection followed by a top off with Testors Dullcote. Perfect flat finish every time (see below).

Curious why the double seal? I use Dullcote to finish my models as well, does the satin just give you extra protection or have you seen it provide benefits to the overall finish?

painting.for.my.sanity Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 TITH I accepted my hobby resolutions have gone completely out of the window. The original plan was to do a "Primaldus" and then one squad of Argent Shroud to accompany him, with the main focus of this year being AdMech and a Knight. Instead, I've got so into the Sisters (and done a custom order) that they're growing into at least a 1000pts force, and I've got a burning urge to revisit my Templars again after I finish the SoBs, so it looks like the Knight and Skitarii have been punted into next year.

Dwango Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 YITH I got my craft on and rediscovered papier mache. Haven't done any since I was a child. Used it to create a hill for a flying base. Also got my 2yo involved to help create a piece of terrain.

Doghouse Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 TITH I got 30 miniatures painted...just not for 40k. It's amazing how refreshing it is to turn to something else for a change of pace and I'm steaming through the units production line style. I'll have an army completed by the end of the week at this rate. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/373/#findComment-5519976 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephaniah Adriyen Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) TITH, I got together a coherent hobby box; this hobby box is only mildly subject to change, and one metal Inquisitor will be added to it within a week or two. Once I'm finished with that box... I'm done, at least for a while, with buying models. Once every model in that box is completed, I'm done buying models for a while. Edit: So. Um. This is a thing.

MrSpoon Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 YITH I made some progress on mephiston. Purity seals were used liberally to hide joins that became obvious upon assembly.

Hfran Morkai Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) TITH I am getting frustrated with image hosting. By default my phone (Samsung S9) takes images too large to upload to the B&C galleries but can't seem to find an option to reduce the image size on my phone or in the gallery (mobile version and full version but on a mobile). None of the sites I've checked out seem to be decent either, can't find one with a convenient way to share an image like I used to have with photobucket before they went off the rails. Edit: I don't really have a PC to do stuff off so really needs to be mobile compatible at the moment.

If you use imgur to upload pictures you can just use the "Large Thumbnail" or "Medium Thumbnail" links instead of the original size. That's what I'm doing. Less bothersome than manually resizing and checking every picture. ;) Hfran Morkai 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/373/#findComment-5521749 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axineton Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 TITH I started assembling a chaos knight and sprayed the legs and body in leadbelcher spray. I’ve never built a model so big and am enjoying it. Just waiting on greenstuff world colour shift paints to turn up so I can get the rest built and painted. Then I’m moving on to my Starweaver for the Lockdown painting challenge.

I’m thinking of either a purple or red one with whatever colours they shift with.
