Firepower Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Today in the hobby I finally managed to find a working mix of thinner/retarder/paint for my airbrush, and basecoated most of my models Yay! Now I just gotta order a whole new bottle of paint, seeing as I wasted most of it trying to find a working mix :P p34ce 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firepower Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Today in the hobby I finally finished base coating the 15 Marines that make up a large chunk of my ETL vow, and concluded that I have indeed found a way to properly thin my paints for airbrushing at long last! I now have 15 dark chocolate marines in a million pinned pieces and a very big smile on my face :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FashaTheDog Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 A couple of comments before we get to me. Are those old metal speeders really that hard to assemble? I got one back when it was the hot new deal replacing the old open front one (that Guard also had, shame they lost access to them), glued it together, painted it badly, and only have ever had the lousy plastic stalk break on me. Maybe I just found my one special talent and discovered it to be both esoteric in the extreme and now OOP. Also, I love working with chemicals and dangerous hazmat stuff. Playing with fiberglass, melting plastics, utilizing chemical reactions, and just generally harnessing the power of SCIENCE! have all been part of my life. I mean couldn't paint rust with acrylics so instead I just apply real rust to my models by mixing vinegar and bleach in a container with some steel wool and letting it run its course so I now have liquid rust I can just paint on my models. I say to those who fear it to read up and do your research, then dive right in. The best way to learn with by hitting the ground running! http://s8.postimg.org/92zlr8nhx/Rust.jpg Anyway... Today in the hobby, I finally removed what remained of the fingerprint on my right thumb after well more than 20 years of inadvertently working on it with a razor. I suppose cleaning 50 something metal models in a single sitting will do that, who knew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marine Errant Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Today in the hobby I.....well, I have decided to return. After a hiatus of about 18 months I decided it was about time to rejoin the ranks of the glorious God Emperor!! I dug out some of the projects I had been working on (Imperator, how do I have so many unopened boxes of chuffing marines in the house?????) and started to finish the paint job on my Lt. Commander Narvaez ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Mk.231 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Today in the hobby I worked on someone else's army. My own army isn't even finished yet, how did I get roped into this?! Ah well, I've always prefered the modelling over the painting anyway, and I stare at my army that needs hazard stripes on about 100 guy's weapons and just say "Not today". I've been saying that for 6 months now. And those cultists, I can't decide what colours I want on them, it's infuriating. And God, the bases, 150 bloody bases! At least with the bases I have the excuse of not having the materials I need, but that excuse is also 6 months old. Anyway, back to making Dark Angels, 2 more squads and I'm done. I hope.
