Nice. I've got a ton of stuff I'm ordering tomorrow model-wise, just added this to the list. I've wanted to make a Necromunda-style platform bit of terrain for a while, this will be really cool.

It's my birthday next week so I have a funny feeling my backlog might grow again, in time for the oath thread. Here's what I have sitting: Revell PV1 Ventura (1/32) Revell Jagdpanther (1/72) Zvezda Medival Bombard (1/72 built unpainted) Axademy Stuka (72nd built unpainted) Academy Jagdpanther (1/25th last in build queue.) What I have waiting in work to be bought: Moebius War Machine (1/8th) Revell Constellation (1/144) Academy F-8 Crusader (1/72) Thats on top of my Dystopian Wars Italian fleet that should be arriving today or tomorrow. Tell me goons, what should I oath? :p

Purgey posted:Necr-owns-munda Thanks! How extensive would your conversions be? They'd make great Diggas, but I don't know if you're planning headswaps with Ork heads (which would look silly) or what. I was thinking about doing some more extensive conversion work beyond sawing off hands and weapons and such, but I'd have to resculpt their back muscles and stuff which frankly I'm not quite adept enough to do!

That crane and a stack of AT-43 crates will be an awesome start of an Infinity board.

So I got me some WW2 germans. I really need to order som Vallejo paint. But I'm still unsure as to what to do with primer. I got some Citadel Black I can use. They are plastic 15mm dudes. Somebody suggested that I get some closer to the german uniform color or something instead but I have no idea where to get that. But I think priming black will be fine. Any guys who have painted WW2 stuff here?Adrian Finol posted:Think I'm done. Really happy how he turned out. Next up, the base! Holy Batman.

But I have enough terrain projects on the go, so if that crane listing that was posted is just a regularly stocked item there's no rush and I'll just order it in the next couple of months sometime. Thanks though

Any guys who have painted WW2 stuff here? I use tamiya grey primer for everything. It's that cross over point between lightening the whole model and shading the dark areas. German uniform is very dark, so unless you happen to already have that vallejo primer I'd use your nornal black as your primer, unless youvwant to pick out finer detail. 15mm is 72nd, right? I'd say grey primer so you have that crossover for both light and dark shades but others may have a specific preference.

mehall posted:I use tamiya grey primer for everything. 1/72 is roughly 20-22mm, actually. 15mm is just that, 15mm. Although some slight scale creep exists. As for gray germans I say NAY, sir. 'Feldrau', the wehrmacht's color of choice, is less gray than you'd think. Its more like gray-green, like so:  (foreground coat is felgrau)It looks beautiful when its done right. BuffaloChicken posted:That looks fantastic! Lots more interesting than the standard Desert Yellow sand color. I just finished a six-month term in a conservation corps in Arizona and spent a lot of time building trails in the Sedona Red Rocks district. Might want to google it for some inspiration - adding bands of different rock color and spots of clump foliage in the crevices would really bring the terrain to life without compromising the playability. Thanks, broski!  I'm a total sucker for the American southwest. The colors, the alien feeling of the rock faces, the serenity from lack of urban sprawl... The green patches, scrubgrass and cacti would look good, I think. I wonder where I can find some cactii? I know for certain I want silflor tufts, though!

mehall posted:I use tamiya grey primer for everything. 15mm is 1/107 scale according to pages I found on google. Can't seem to find that primer in Sweden but I'll just stick with my citadel black I suppose. But it might get hard to see all the tiny stuff when it is all black compared to Warhammer models that are larger. Purgey posted:1/72 is roughly 20-22mm, actually. 15mm is just that, 15mm. Although some slight scale creep exists. Indeed it does. Vallejo has a field grey color and the box of germans that I have even suggest using that, among other colors. Going for a more eastern front look since my friend bought Russians.

Any guys who have painted WW2 stuff here? Vallejo makes a German Grey color that is quite accurate. I think someone recently posted a Steel Legion soldier that used German Gray for the overcoat and it looked awesome. It was subtle, but much less flat then pure black.

Difference between matte medium and glaze medium? I've been trying to read up on it but the biggest difference I've come across is someone describing glaze medium as giving the same effect as matt medium + water. Also wish the stupid new oath thread would turn up. I have been priming everything I own in anticipation! I want it to start so I can go back to not painting anything! My labrador would also like to be brown again.

I have the Les Bursely wash stuff mixed up, which is matte medium and water and flow-aid, and its pretty identical to my bottle of Vallejo glaze medium. I'm sure given a more accurate recipe from Vallejo it would be actually identical.

I've been trying to read up on it but the biggest difference I've come across is someone describing glaze medium as giving the same effect as matt medium + water. Mediums for acrylics are basically the acrylic junk plus water plus something to make things different: matte, gloss, flow aid. A glaze medium is simply more acrylic goo and typically a flow aid. You can probably make your own with matte medium, some water, and, well, a flow aid. From my research and some experience, apparently Future Floor Polish is basically a glaze medium that dries to an eggshell finish. Personally, I feel glazing is best done with a liquid pigment paint (P3, Reaper Pro if I recall) thinned really heavily, nothing fancy.

mehall posted:I use tamiya grey primer for everything. This man knows what's what. Grey is a great middle ground. Especially if your going for a black-ish color you should start with grey and build it up to black. Lately I've been priming using all 3 colors- spray the whole model grey then dust the very top with white and the very bottom with black.

It looks like my primer issues were mostly from spraying too far away. On the second run I made sure to shake the hell out of the can. I sprayed at about 7 inches or so in short bursts and it came out fantastic, I think better than any other priming Ive done. I guess I was overly cautious that it would be too thick and that ended up screwing it up too. Cleaning up the first try mostly came right off with water and a tooth brush, but I decided to test out simple green to clean them fully. They soaked longer than needed only because I didn't have time to clean them but it worked as advertised.

I'm not very good at painting but I thought I did an okay job on this chaos lord. It was a blast to paint, characters are so much more fun than infantry. It's also probably the best face I've ever done. He took me about an hour although I did prime him last night.
