      Thank you, but I'm nothing. The guys at the top of this particular game are painting things like this:

      When you consider that that model's head will also be ~5mm tall... I dread to think how long it took him to create that woollen texture on the robes. And those metals are not painted with metallic paint - he has deliberately used highlights and shade to create the impression of reflective surfaces. And those gems... he's somehow managed to paint a smooth colour value transition on an object around 3mm tall...

      Take the dive...

        @EdH Now that’s OCD on levels that I can’t comprehend. I can’t imagine the hours that has been put into it to achieve those kind of results.

          Phish plays a soccer stadium known as Dicks Sporting Goods Park every year, and because my friends and I are totally mature, we 3D print out Dicks to hand out to concertgoers.

          This year includes, for the first time, dickwhistles of various shapes, colors, and sizes.

          And then there’s the Bag o’ Dicks

          Think it, be it.

              On a normal note kinda got into car model builds IMG_3950.jpeg

              After seeing an actual z at the Ginza showroom in Japan, really want a manual right hand drive 70s-80s mode with a wide body kitl. So until that happens, just playing around with the plastic version.

                Just found this thread. Always wanted to play 40K which was always out of reach for me budget wise. Finally started learning the game and hobby in the fall in preparation for 10th edition. Heres a couple I just worked on this weekend

                      I’ve got a bunch more I just need to find photos from. Basically have painted up about 2500 points worth of world eaters at this point in time

                          @Mister_Brue thank you! It’s really hard to put “art” in front of people who may not like what you do.
                          Been painting for just a year but I feel I’ve kind of found my way with it. I started collecting a second army while I wrap up the last bits of this one and continue learning how to play.
