Was fun to give this a go! Gamersgrass comes in clutch with their basing bits and plants. I haven't painted anything before besides large cosplay parts, so doing something small was a nice change!

Painted the owners horse of the stables we board at as a birthday gift. Critiques welcome!

Here is my version of The Soulreaver from Flesh of Gods.

A little fun and experimental project that I painted on stream, and I wanted to try to push the lighter tones on darker surfaces and to create more contrast, which I think has 'sorta' worked lol.

I have wanted to paint this guy for nearly 3 years now and really enjoyed painting him, love FoGs character creation and great sculpts.

Just started on my first trench crusade mini and I'm not sold on the paint scheme but idk what other direction I could go

Hey everyone, so i have these two 3d printed spiders, I primed, baseboard and washed, but I dont like the result. Im thinking more of a palid bone color, as cave spiders would be. Does anyone have any experience striping 3d resin? Is 90% isopropyl mild enough or will it melt the spiders? Thanks.

This was my first time painting translucent resin, and I found it a bit tricky. Started with Magic Blue speedpaint, then Beowulf Blue in the lower regions and some recesses, and Pastel Seafoam for the orb. I found the paints more difficult to control without having a primer underneath, and the wispy shape challenged memore than I expected it to.

On the plus side, I'm very happy with this swampy base love the way a light source underneath lights up the wisp with a bright glow.

Very curious how other handle translucent resin pieces and bits.

Hey there! I have a few friends who are into tabletop painting, and my work specialised in materials for prop making and art so I've wanted to work on my painting for a while.

I've owned paints and an air brush for ages but really only painted with aerosols on larger models and props, so I scoured a few sites to find a model kit that called to me, printed and got ready to paint.

it's my first time trying to paint a model, this one is 1/6.

I started with a primer of the grey tamiya and for the body I covered it with a pink base coat.

I wanted to practise shadows and highlights so I mixed up a darker purple and tried to lightly hit the areas that I thought would create a shadow with the light coming from above to its left but I feel like it just looks like I painted areas solid purple without much fading.

I did the highlights ontop at first with an airbrush but was way too heavy, I tried again with a dry brush to put them in very lightly.

looking at a picture of the character I wanted to try the highest spots they were drawn with just white but thats where I think I went wrong, they're top bold and dont fit well so I tried blending them a bit more with a dry brush again.

I know it's not great work but its better than what I expected for my first practise painting it.

the base was easy with just a primer, black gloss, and airbrush of liquid silver, the gold belt and tried my best for the lettering but a shaky hand and frayed brush made that difficult.

I have another copy of the body being printed now and would like to try again, any advice?

trying to use Vallejo xpress color for the first time, but this feels off to me, it very reflective, coverage seems a bit weak

tips on working with this stuff please 🥺

I finally finished my Ushoran
