Hi folks, I've been doing a lot of thinking recently, I paint more figures and spend more time on that aspect of the Hobby than I ever get to spend actually playing figure games. So I felt maybe I should lean into that side of the hobby a bit more and paint, well, better. This was the old standard of my WW2 models:
And this is what I'm now achieving after some research and use of new techniques:
Lots of improvement but a way to go yet. I talk at length about the process and some of the inspiration and techniques on my blog in this post: link And for those with an interest, I ramble about my basic painting set up (spoiler: it is presently, REALLY basic) in comparison to the ideals you see elsewhere, here: link Food for thought? Anyway, enjoy! |

Lovely work and a huge improvement in such a short time. Have you considered trying painting with only washes? link |

Wow, that new tank looks terrific! I don't know that I could ever paint armor that well. |

You can see a huge improvement between the first and the second. Keep it up! I find the interweb – places like TMP, other folks' blogs and whatnot – so good for reference, help, and inspiration, etc. And – I don't know if this is any help? – but first and foremost, I aim to please myself before I worry too much what anyone else will think. That way I don't get too discouraged when I fall short, as I so often do. |
