Worthless BumsIT CAME
bruh look at that shit two posts up
i alt-texted all four of them and mastodon deleted 2 of them
50%
wtfffffff
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??? đŸ¤”đŸ¤”đŸ¤”đŸ¤”đŸ¤”
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
is 100ml of a paint a lot
it feels like a lot
in my wasteland there will be canon giant otters and hippos and you cannot stop me đŸ¦¦đŸ¦›
i thought to myself "alright obviously start with power armor because you can just prime it and start with a gray metal base layer and highlight whatever" and it turns out metal paints are a whole other kettle of fish
i might need to make a tiny minutemen stencil
i wonder if modiphius sells fo76 specific minis like excavator power armor
i didn't see any but that site is a little... confusing, sometimes
it does not inspire confidence when you try to make an account on some hobby store and the account creation fails with a blank page
oh shit but they have a sale on some fallout minis lololol
don't do it bums
gonna sleep on this and the colors i want
also: i still can't make a goddamn account on this site
i lied i added more brushes and ordered lololol
ALRIGHT
NO MORE SPENDING MONEY UNTIL I ACTUALLY PAINT SOMETHING
i clicked on a 20 minute video on how to thin paint
that's where my head's at
the best thing about modding fallout 4 to hell and back is modern equipment totally fits my headcanon and opens the field to me utilizing a broad array of more modern wargaming assets lololol
none of the vehicles work tho
you'd need some very specific atompunk or whatever style to match aside from some tanks or apcs fallout has in-game
all the wasteland/punk opposition minis on etsy totally slot right in as fallout raiders, as long as they're 32mm and have roughly actual realistic human proportions xD
Ben Chandler@worthlessbums Okay but this is SUPER important, paint consistency is everything!
RethinkJeff@worthlessbums I'm sure you believe that :p
Simon Windmill@worthlessbums so I used to paint minis and I keep being tempted to start again. Pigments have improved tremendously, and you can get the same/better results with what would be classed as speedpainting compared to the hours I would take. Look up the slapchop method. Start with black primer, dry brush white over it, color with contrast/speedpaint and uh.. that’s it. Maybe detail tiny things. Clear coat it.
Ryan Evans@rje i'm already over $100 and if i get to $125 i save $25
this is how they get me
gamedev.lgbt/@psilocervine@worthlessbums for minis? absolutely yeah
Ride Theory@worthlessbums Not if you're painting a house.
