Steve Troughton-SmithIt’s all coming together. Honestly this paint job has been kinda fun, despite the complexity
This one deserves a full spin 👌
I said 2025 would be the year to progress my painting skills, and I meant it 😎
Honestly a pretty easy one to paint, all things considered
I have painting failures too; this guy (3D printed from Artisan Guild) wasn’t turning out how I wanted so I stopped half way.
I’ll see if I can rescue it when I’m in the mood
Finally started painting the display board that’s been hanging on my wall for a few years. Terrain is hard!
Looking better already! Still have the raised area to do, but I’ll get there
Not too bad, for a test model. It’s a lot smaller than it looks, but I’ll have an easier time with it when my new brushes get here. Not a particularly difficult scheme, thankfully!
It’s new brush day! Trying out Artis Opus this time. €100 doesn’t get you an awful lot of sable these days… 😅
Finally pushed through to the finish on these two. My new Artis Opus brushes are fantastic, now I just need to get better at using them 👌
At least basing is the fun part
Basing begins.
One thing new I’m doing on this batch is going back in and manually adding shading and black lining after the fact, which makes all the difference
Current status: very carefully trying to paint a model past me glued together and didn’t have the foresight to make in subassemblies…
When I’m just doing one, I’m much faster! Maybe batch painting is what’s been killing me
Particularly love how this cloak turned out. I still need a lot of practice
Honestly not a very complicated model or paint job. Another couple of sessions should be all I need
On the turntable, since this model arguably looks better from the back than from the front 😂
Attempting a pox walker test model, since I can’t find a decent box art tutorial. I don’t have my recipe 100% right yet, but it’s not too far off
I think I pulled it off? He looks reasonably close to the box art version
Poxwalker no. 2. These guys are fun to paint, as a little goes a long way, and every single model is unique
Already making a difference to the shelf. Now I just need to rescue the rest out from under the layer of dust 😝
Scott Elfstrom@stroughtonsmith Oh this is such a good idea; put all the unpainted dollies on a shelf and replace them one by one with the finished ones. A great motivator.
