Painting my recon squad in a different scheme to the box and after a lot of indecision kinda settled on this, what was originally just highlighted black turned into a kind of urban camo, still not sure tho, does the urban camo come off well or just look unfinished? Is the scheme too dark? Still unfinished but please let me know
Greatest gig I’ve ever been to
Bought my first chimera to act as a troop transport for my kasrkin, and while building it, was hit with the sudden inspiration to turn the commander into ANOTHER kasrkin, and make the whole thing kinda kasrkin themed
I butchered that poor tank commander with a heated box cutter and my trusty nippers in an attempt to jam my last remaining kasrkin chest plate to the front of him, and was completely convinced id ruined the commander altogether, but after some more cutting and fitting… i actually think it looks really cool? I did not think this would work at all, but im really pretty happy with how its turned out
Critique and criticism welcome
Between school and work that took a WHILE, but im really quite happy with how they turned out, i really think i improved my painting between the first i painted and the latest (especially seeing as i didnt know what thinning paints actually was until my 10th cadian)
I took time trying to add at least some character to each model, and what i learnt as i painted is pretty apparent, the most obvious lesson being to tone down the wash, leading for my first nine (which i kinda winged) to be very shiny
By the end of the process however not only had i improved my thinning and painting i ended up trying some edge highlighting which i really don’t think went so bad, especially considering my relatively limited paints
Side note, am i getting something wrong or are decals ridiculously easy? I went in really nervous, but i literally applied every transfer by cutting the image out with nippers, wetting the shoulder with watered down vinegar and stamping the decal on with my thumb and they turned out… fine? Each one took maybe 30 seconds to a minute
First image is the whole set, followed by some cadians im proud of, and then my first and last model painted, how’d i do? Any tips?
Two russes for (essentially) the price of one, had to rip off the awful sponsons and cut the front bulldozer thing to shape with nippers to act as the front underbelly of the tank, but it really turned out quite well, only wondering now what to do about the front aux weapon as i dont think the main kit comes with a second set
As title says, outside of a couple times spent fishing with other lads gear im a beginner, not entirely sure what rods suit the country or what are any decent fishing spots, any material to help me learn or any advice would be greatly appreciated
went into the local fishing shop today and was pointed towards a 40 euro 8ft rod, but im really not sure about what to get or what it would suit, regarding boats/sea fishing most id have access to is a paddleboat/small rowboat
again any pointers on essential gear and starting advice would be greatly appreciated, cheers
Of my 10, i have 3 sergeants, 5 special weapons, and 2 lasguns, i assembled entirely based off rule of cool and will now have to rip my poor boys to pieces
Marks the 14th thing ive ever painted, 3 being the starter marine kit, and the next 10 being a pack of cadian shock troopers, how’d i do?
As title says, got these flower embroidered jorts, and while they fit me well im having trouble matching them with really anything, any idea as to what theyd work with?
Im 6ft/183 and 85kg M if it helps
