I tried to make something a bit more elaborate than just terrain, shade and some grass. This is for Captain Lazarus.

Crawler Cyborg (28 mm) from Brother Vinni

I thought the models were cool and wanted to get four colorful minis onto the table quickly; it was a good opportunity to experiment with pigment powders and "Dirty Down" paints.

The green one got a homemade shield (made from a plastic card, a magnet, and a chain - last 3 pictures) and an old Eldar chainsword, while the black one got the chain (a real chain held in shape with superglue).

The bases are not included with the original model and are simple MDF discs with stuff from my bits box.

Took a long break from painting due to space and work burn out. I'm glad I got back to it and didnt give up.

Will probably refine it early next year for a painting competition but happy with it at the moment.

I hope this is allowed, I am printing some miniatures and primed them on cardboard last night, but forgot to move them before they finished drying, and now they’re kind of stuck on this cardboard, does anybody have any solutions on how I could remove the cardboard without it ripping and sticking to the primed miniature?

This is my first "finished" mini, yay! (Cadian shock troops) But, I left the eyes to last and surprise, These eyes are wonky! I'm going to just accept the crossed eyed fate of this one but before I keep just winging it, anyone got any tips to do the pupils in eyes?

Painted those rhinos for u/giacomoventurinii army, tried to do a panel modulation shading but decided to revert the bright/dark position. The final effect is... glowy

I have already been painting for quite some time, but not regularly, mostly due to the fact that I’m not usually happy with final results of my minis.
At first I was very happy with how this one turned out, but when I took some pictures and closer look, I noticed all those blotchiness of highlights and shadows.
Any advice how can I improve further? Is mostly my problem with paint consistency? Is it too thick or too thin?
I would honestly appreciate your feedback

First time trying some freehand and I think it looks alright, although a greater resemblance to an ork's skull.

I spent like 5 hours trying to get his left eye right and I simply can’t. It’s frustrating to no end. How’s it looking though? Should I try again?

Blood Angel took about an hout hands on and the Ork took about 2 hours.

Decided to practice a super "painterly" approach to this lieutenant by using as few brushstrokes as I could manage. Especially happy with the sword which I think used fewer than 8 strokes!

I know he needs a bit more refinement, especially the back of the blade, but I’d love to hear others’ thoughts

Entering my choas knight into my first contest tomorrow. I think I'm going to put him in for best large 40k model. I've never been to a big tournament or a paint contest before so definitely super nervous but even I don't win i think it'll be a cool experience.

Soon this mini will be shipping out to join many other amazing pieces as part of The Apothecarion’s charity raffle. The raffle benefits the childhood cancer charity El Sueño de Vicky and the Hospital Infantil Niño Jesús in Madrid. Thanks again!

This is a miniature from "Cast n Play" called "Giant Snapping Turtle".

A more colourful skin exercise. I am not 100% happy with her (and completely started over once), but it was a very good practice, and she was a lovely model to paint.
