Let's get motivated November 2018!

[Crowsfoot]

Had a little bit of time to get back to my cardboard Necromunda terrain today, so I’ve exceeded my beginning-of-the-month estimate by sticking 20 individual columns (10 pairs of them) to walkways and 4 struts (2 pairs) between pairs of columns to stop them from splaying out and causing the walkways to fall down flat.

Since I started this terrain project I have already made:
2 single-storey dwelling units
1 very thin 2-storey flat (the Imperium never spent much on housing for underhive scum)
1 Jedha-style archway
Several sets of steps and ramps
Some higher-level walkways (I’m currently working on the lower-level walkways)

And I’m only stopping when my supply of cardboard runs out! (Cue maniacal staring and half-crazed jabberings)

Your UK based if I remember rightly?

I have some MDF gantrys and bits and bobs you can have that will work for Necromunda, waz me your address in a PM

I have not had that much time to spend on the modeling as I had hoped, as another big project landed. Though I guess without the projects, I would not have the funds to buy the models in the first place so could be worse.

I have assembled these so far (into parts, ready for painting), just need to decide if Ill add some battle damage before I add a base layer.

1 warlord titan (got 1 more I need to assemble)
2 reaver titans
4 warhound titans
6 imperial knights

Does not look like Ill have too much time over the next few weeks to progress on this, but hoping to be able to get some done over christmas holidays.

You Airbrushing?

You Airbrushing?

That is the plan, its first time using one, so will be some trial and error. Will setup a paint blog when I get to that part.

If its your first time, make sure you get vallejo flow improver! Thats probably the number one thing that helped me start!

I certainly am! That’s a very generous offer - I currently have a lot of stuff still to make and paint at the moment but I’ll send you the relevant details when I next have a window where I’ve finished the vast majority of my stuff.

Thanks for the tip. Do you use it even when only using a little paint in the cup (i.e. only to paint a tiny area), or only when you have more paint in it to delay the drying time?

It stops the paint spitting, it’s basically a thinner

Does that stuff work similar to Vallejo Retarder Medium or is it completely different? Or is it more akin to GW Lahmain Medium? Or neither?

Oh, I searched up the name and what I found there was mainly that it increased the drying time. Though when thinking on it I guess that is perhaps what all thinners do as well since you thin the paint.

Do you also use this for paints that are marketed as paint for airbrushing like Valleljo Game Air?

It depends really, size of your needle, airbrush make etc all act differently so it’s trial and error at first but if you use it all the time you’ll just get used to applying more coats, remember 3 coats with an airbrush is not as thick as 2 with a brush but has better coverage and depth, that’s the beauty really thin coats are easy and consistent.
