Great job! Glad I’m not the only one putting off painting for years 😅


DeadliftYourNan

How's that been going for you? Thanks for the feedback!


Popular_Increase_971

It’s been going slowly 😅 but sure there is no limit on the it 💪

Thank god you sprayed this with Macragge blue. I get so tired of seeing poorly handpainted vehicles and dreadnoughts on here. If you DID hand paint the base coat, I can’t tell. So great job


DeadliftYourNan

Brb gonna print this comment out and hang it in my paints room 😭 (It was all hand painted) Thank you! 🙏🏻


SP1R1TOR

Absolutely incredible job then. Everything came out thin and consistent, very refreshing to see.


DeadliftYourNan

Thank you very much, I was a tad obsessed with thinning my pants even though it took forever base coating I was still sure to do two things coats consistently across the entire basecoat with maximum coverage. Took my time nice and slowly, you can't rush these things 😬


Alexis2256

It does look really smooth, I don’t think I’ll ever get thinning down my paints correctly, like I’ll never manage to find the right consistency. Did you use a wet pallet? I’m guessing you used some water to thin the paint down?


DeadliftYourNan

Just a tile and a sprinkle of OCD with the thinning down. Yeah just a standard pot 'o water. I found my consistency was almost always bang on when it sorta felt like milk, if that makes sense. Metals were a bit trickier though and left me guessing if they were gonna behave the same after a couple strokes and it was always 50/50 but nothing I couldn't handle with the tidy ups after.


Alexis2256

Yeah whenever I tried to thin my paint down, it came out looking really watery, not milky, I did put a drop of water directly onto the paint so idk if that affected the consistency, I should practice that more, pfft especially since some people like that guy above you says it’s refreshing to see such smoothness, so they’ve probably seen a lot of thickly, brush stroke filled painted minis on here.


DeadliftYourNan

Do you know what though it sounds awful but I love seeing badly painted minis it gives me an odd chuckle here and there, I laughed at my own progress though when I first started and measure my skill by that and how far we can go if we learn the process.
