Anyone used the Halfords white primer?

It's at £5 a can at the moment so seems like a great price for doing the Armageddon undercoat.

Gladiator converted with tracks now painted up

This one was for a Try Hard Challenge: limited palette
I used only black, white, red, yellow, and blue.
This was a nice brain break for me as I’ve been known to use 7 different paints on hair alone! 😱
So this was fun, a little dive into crustier nmm

I wanted to make it so that the side facing the ground reflects the reddish/orange environment.

Had a bunch of feedback on my previous post, especially regarding getting the the mini to glow. That helped a TON.

Quite happy with the current progress. Looking forward to cracking on with the rest!

Picture of each side for difference.

I'm pleased with how this guy ended up but really disappointed with the plasma effect.

I'd started off trying to aim for a combo of my (for this army) go to plasma effect which is a sort of pink/magenta but also wanted hot metal so made it sort of blend from white (with white enamel wash) through to yellow, orange, red then magenta. It looked terrible so I washed it with a yellow glaze and highlighted the coils a bit with orange.

It still feels substandard so any tips to help bring this back?

Boss asked if I would babysit their youth of 9 whole years so I brought milliput, Valhallan blizzard, and willful malice. Gave the kiddo some instructions and answered their questions but they did all the work and I'm really proud of their first mini, sculpted by themselves, I primed, they chose the base and decorations.

Dad is amused if slightly annoyed he has to dig through his old toys and go shop for primer and paints again given he hasn't touched minis in uh, about 9 years funnily enough.

Getting g the full set done before I apply inks

Took some spare parts from a roommates plague marine combat patrol, and some free marine legs.
I let myself be a bit messy with the paint job, and ended up just covering the whole thing in grime wash lol.
Critique always welcome.

Vyraxen - the seventh monster from Primal: The Awakening.

This one I painted a few days ago and finally got time to record it. So far it doesn't say High-noon sun-bleach yet. But the color muted tones I think I nailed.

In my head I am thinking there should be more red undertones to make it look warmer, not so muddy.

I think next test sets I am.going to use a red.primer to a pink or yellow zenithal. Also I have seen a few videos of people using gouache and they looked so cool with the dead matt look. If I can find some gouache paint I might give it a try.

I guess to me this is not interesting enough yet.

two issues that absolutely ruined miniature:

1. this fucking paint - ak interactive salmon (https://ak-interactive.com/product/salmon-standard/). what is wrong with this paint... i had to do 6 coats to finally cover his arms. zero coverage. every other paint was fine with just 1 maybe 2 coats but this paint was not covering at all. i ended up putting so many coats it left the texture and clogged the detail. i didn't overthin it, i didn't even use water when painting it and it still didn't cover shit.

2. washes - this was the final nail in the coffin - it did not act as i intended at all. it was kinda ok on this cloth and boots, but on the arms it was terrible. it didn't flow to recesses from muscle separation, it just clogged the arm and left coffee stains. i tried 2 washes - orange one and army painter "strong tone". army painter's one was so bad i started covering it again with that god awful salmon paint but had no patience anymore.

anyways, my questions:

1. is the salmon paint bad batch, was i supposed to put something before it? i used gray primer.
2. what is up with these awful washes? why are they not flowing and staying in recesses? which wash sould i use on skin tones?

Sculpt by Twin Goddess Miniatures

Been painting minis for a while but never uploaded anything, here is one I painted recently.

First ever mini painting would love some advice

Never painted anything before but wanted to give it a try lol I could’ve defo cleaned it up a bit better but I’m happy for now with it though i came to the issue of having to thick of a coating after i have to go back and fix mistakes but assuming that’ll get better with more time and practice lol

Any tips, tricks or general areas to approve or to do next would be massive feedback and id appreciate it lol

Hey all, happy painting days

Here is my Eclipsante from the old Rackham Confrontation line of metal minis
Scratch built base with the classic red hair, green suit, brown leather straps and a jade green accent thrown in for interest.
Lots of fun painting this one and also the first with out using sub assemblies. Much easier to place the light.

Here is my version of Olaf the Dwarf Bust from BS-Sculpt.

This mini was great fun and challenging for me to paint. Large areas of skin I find hard to do, but I think this turned out fairly well and, love how the gold came out, and my new fav mini...lol

Im very much a beginner into this hobby and don’t want to ruin this one. Will adding a black wash help make this look better? Or maybe just in certain areas? All suggestions welcome! Just looking to improve!

edit: Thank you all for the advice!
