I’m thinking about posting every figure I paint, just like the first one, to create a timeline where I can track my progress and get advice from people to improve faster!

What do you think about my 2nd creation?

3D printed figure, hand-painted:

airbrush primer/base coat (AK microfiller)

Paints used: AP and AK.

matte varnish vallejo on the skin, weapon, pants, and logo ( I finished applying the varnish about 5 minutes ago, so the matte finish is probably still looking shinier than it should. )

gloss varnish vallejo on the rest

Any feedback or advice is welcome 😊

Hi everyone!

This is the first miniature I’ve painted (printed with a Mars 5 Ultra using Sunlu ABS-Like resin), so I’m a complete beginner in paint😄
I tried to make an orc!

Primed with an airbrush and hand painted using AK and AP paints.

I’d really love to hear your honest opinions!!

I’m open to any tips for a beginner, even the basics 😄
Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,
I recently buy a figure, still sealed in its original packaging. The figure itself is in great condition, but the blister has noticeably yellowed over time and the cardboard backing is a bit worn and slightly bent at the corners.
I’m trying to figure out the best way to improve its appearance without ruining its value as a collectible. I’ve heard about methods like using hydrogen peroxide, but I’m not sure if that’s safe for sealed packaging or if it might cause more damage in the long run.
So I have a few questions:

Is it possible to safely reduce or remove the yellowing on the plastic blister?

Any tips for fixing or improving slightly bent/creased cardboard backing?

Would attempting restoration hurt the value more than leaving it as-is?

I’d really appreciate any advice from collectors or anyone who’s dealt with similar issues.
Thanks in advance!
