ebay is a great place because items will be listed as brand new and in the description it will say shit like "opened, looks to be 80% there"

lollllllll ebay hides nude minis behind verification

the verification is in effect even if you're logged in

you just have to click on the blank perview

*golf clap*

the way etsy (sellers) seems to get around this is by providing a censored preview image, or by having options in the product page (the superior method for various reasons) with a sfw version as the default preview

when i was young this level of puritanism was annoying

the older i get the more mad i get

you think young people don't know what tits look like

you fucking jackasses

this was not hidden behind a blank preview

because stars lolololol

MARIO POWER ⭐⭐

i know that's not a mindflayer, but no lie mindflayers still creep the fuck outta me

not because of the mouth tentacles (okay a little) but because MIND CONTROL is so underrated as a power

that shit will have you constantly questioning your entire reality, without actually changing reality

legit chaos super power

that is a good pose. and way to hold your sword idly
ebay sellers seem even worse than etsy sellers about telling you what the fuck scale they printed in

so 40k is both 28 and 32mm scale, depending?

annoying. fallout warfare is 32mm scale and i find that hard enough

28mm sounds even worse xD but i guess big chonky space marine helmets are easier than faces

on one hand there is really no giant central site to show off 3d printed minis

otoh it is cool to hit up a bajillion sites to see what all the third parties are doing

very early internet vibes

*squints potato programmer eyes*

I can't really see a difference lol

Maybe that's good? But it was an ultra matt varnish... xD

Maybe the metal on the power armor is more dull

hrm. maybe i kinda feel like it actually brightened the back of the power armor

maybe it's the lighting (in the last photo) but i feel like i lost some of the value differential between the highlights of the edges and the darker pockets

to my naked eyes it looks about the same tho xD

anyway apparently varnish might take /days/ to fully set?

so maybe it'll change over time xD

GUESS I'LL FIND OUT

it definitely did not dry as cloudy as it looked in the shot glass before i brushed it on

also it was foamy as fuck but all the bubbles popped i guess

i did try to poke them while brushing but... there were a lot of bubbles

kinda wondering if i can paint over it, then re-varnish later

i assume i can, but also it's probably not as good of a primer as literal primer

I CAN GIVE HIM A BELLY

WHAT A WASTE

AFTER LOSING SO MUCH WEIGHT

maxed butt settings still gives you a pancake ass tho
this is obviously very fantasy skewed, but there are some modern/sci-fi/tacticool clothese and shit
kinda makes me wanna replay torchlight 2
their "wasteland rifle" does not appear to be based on anything from fallout, unfortunately xD
there is an absolutely massive powerfist tho

you have a pretty fine degree of control over the stuff attached to you, can move around your helmet and stuff

avoid clipping? add clipping? you do you, they just print it xD

ping @DarkestKale 💀💀💀
the smoke looks cool because of the smoke plume, but you can't size it properly to fit in your hand

you can sorta hide it with arm positioning and moving the grenade to clip through the thumb more or less out of view lol

bad feels tho

omg i missed that i can add items to the base
lol
trying to batch my remaining minis by rough color palette so i waste less paint
🦦👕👚

mmm... the lack of white is coming to bite me

mutant hound teeth and deathclaw claws xD

Trying the whole layering thing

Not going well lololololol

Also I don't have white but I have a "heavy gray" which is quite light...

Okay this is shit but I think I figured it out

When artists say use a few layers it's like when chefs say use a pinch of salt or a bit of butter or a clove of garlic

They are lowballing the fuck outta you xD

starting to feel like 90% of painting miniatures is learning to thin paint appropriately for the task at hand

is this why everyone uses airbrushes xD

Feel like I could highlight better and redo the deathclaw horn colors but overall think I got what I got out of experimenting with layers

honestly i feel like a large part of my dissatisfaction with this is how shiny they are lol

and the one hard directional light is not helping xD

not sure that "ultra matt" varnish is gonna help either but i'll prolly do bases and varnish tomorrow

holy shit i just realized... that "blade" sticking out of one of the hound's mouth... maybe it's a tongue and not some blade it bit off lolololol
I DID NOT PERCEIVE THAT AS A TONGUE LOL

i bought more fallout minis because they were 20% off, no tax, and free usps shipping

what can i say i am scum lololol

@worthlessbums loooooooooolololololol
@rje i am absolutely gonna burn through my current minis in like... two weeks, tops xD
