airbrushes don't really speak to me

i dunno why

painter cursing as she has to strip a mini face and start again because she's entering a contest

me, having painted like a handful of minis, badly: "i feel ur pain"

me: "fucking enclave. me and all my homies, all hate the enclave"

also me: "fuck enclave power armor looks good tho"

my cobalt keep display cases supposed to arrive today

babysitting the front door worth it? hope so xD

1) i wanna measure internal dimensions and stuff so i can plan out dioramas,

2) i want display cases to keep dust off my painted minis!, and

3) i can then move them to my shelf so my worktable has space for my unpainted/unassembled minis >.>

also like, i just wanna say the perfectly straight/grid repeating pattern for stone work or bricks wouldn't look real anyway

because that's not how you lay stone

but still xD

it's really wild how the photos they take of the golden demon winners are overexposed shit

like just wall to wall shit

you can't even take the effort to make your goddamn contest winners look good, and maybe from more than one angle?

like this is embarrassing man

the official photo taken versus images from instagram

they're all like this. one shot, many taken from some dubious fucking angles, overexposed

and then people looking at them complain like why did X beat out Y (total other conversation lololol) but it's like YOU SHOWED THEM LIKE CRAP IS PART OF THE REASON

i like cmo games because they're relatively near me and ship usps and have good prices, but their stocks leaves a little to be desired

(said the fallout centric player)

The cobalt keep army display cases are pretty nice. Maybe a touch overpriced even when buying four at once

Top has refraction rainbow circles but side views are good

Metal base altho none of my minis are magnetized xD

Better shot of the top

You see this at a shallow angle, not straight down

the locking tabs are a bit... well, i wouldn't drop this xD

but given that it's a display case and not a carry case i can't ding them for that

You're a pain in my ass piper

Not your fault you came wonky with a busted arm nubbin tho xD

jesus tap dancing christ hancock's right arm will not glue on

what is it with everyone's right arm

X6-88's right foot keeps wanting to pop out

Holding him there till it dries

i do not like assembling minis lol

the payoff might be worth it, but this process... solid C- lololol

alright one more

this super mutant with two hands on this super sledge i can barely hold together with my own goddamn hands even without glue on it

lolollololol CAN'T WAIT TO FUCK THIS UP

because it's basically impossible for me to reattach the arms via that thin ass sledge shaft now

so i have to independently glue each arm to each upper arm, and basically pray i get the exact position and angle to line them up again

this might be a lost cause

This is so fucking fragile lolololol

Behold the power of 0 skill, 100 stubbornness

alright that's enough frustration for one night

after all i gotta code in like an hour

i like the IDEA of customizing your minis and shit, rebasing them onto whatever you want

but holy shit do i not like this fiddly crap

i should put the tau battlesuit my brother got me to see just how good/bad/fiddly games workshop minis are

shoulda worn gloves

forgot how annoying superglue on skin could be

bruh

i just read like five million pages of bullshit, to find out it was retconned and redirected to another page of five million pages of bullshit, near the bottom of the first page of bullshit

fuck you 40k lore lolololol
