IT CAME
The whole reason I bought this: the miniatures lol

I have not delved into painting yet

Soon

bruh look at that shit two posts up

i alt-texted all four of them and mastodon deleted 2 of them

50%

wtfffffff

I feel like I can get better fallout themed dice
i need more table space
i think i can scrub down the other half of my current computer table and use that lol

watching painting videos

why did i start this lol

i have no art skills and programmer potato eyes why did i start buying this shit lololol
[demonic fallout lust]

sprues is a fun word tho

altho the fallout warfare stuff comes pre-assembled

i've also learned to hate every single miniature painting tutorial blog post because they use 234978292542345 words to say one thing

also no one explains the myriad tools involved

the eight million different types of paints, primers, and brushes

they're all like "pick an appropriate brush". thanks bruh, i'll figure it out

seriously considering just buying some random ass vallejo color set and fucking shit up since that's what i expect from a first time anyway

i should look at my figures and actually plot out what colors i would need instead of winging it

tbh that feels a lot less exciting than winging it

i almost failed art class in high school

did you know that about me

well now you know

i just realized i can use one of my new fallout mugs to hold water for painting

the synergy

i think imma have to reorg my older desktop 'puter, shift my work laptop to my long table, and this will clear up my square work table to be a painting table
will this new hobby be an excuse for me to buy a brand spanking new high cri headlamp tho??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

are miniature brushes supposed to cost like $20-30 each

these are disposable items right

i assume they last longer than toothbrushes at least xD

i'm sorry

dickblick?

midlund flesh

a work lamp i can clamp to the edge of my table is prolly better than a headlamp

disappointed by this tbh

i'm in a forum discussing the grain of paint pigments

help

i'm getting the feeling i am in very subjective "just try a buncha fukken paints and see what works/what you like" territory

this is why hobbies are expensive

@worthlessbums me, seeing more of my Internet buddies getting into painting minis: yessssssssss
