These look ace, mate. Lovely.

Yeah, this was kind of along the lines of what I was thinking, or maybe trying to laminate it with thin stryrene (heated might for to the shape if not too complex).

UV resin is an interesting idea. That could work very nicely.

Thanks for your input here. Might spur me on to attempt it finally :)

You too, buddy :)

Looks like Bluesky has put some default age restrictions/moderation on my feeds because I haven't/won't verify my age here.

Has your content flagged you as a ne'er-do-well, I wonder? It's all that non-Blood Angels content you insist on sharing ;)

I've been wondering why you've stopped posting here recently, and seeing this I realise I've simply stopped seeing your posts in my timeline for some reason.

Seeing this because it's been reposted by @soylentrobot.bsky.social (thanks! :)).

Looking really ace, Paul. Nice job :)

Big fan, and love how this is looking so far.

Hpoing for some advice if you have any - I've got a long, brass-sheet banner on one of my lads, but I am anxious about painting it because it's flexible and will likely move around in the act.

Do you have any techniques to stiffen it up, so to speak?

"Yours" vs "Theirs", and both of them are you.

I think I know what's vexing you about it. And yes, you probably should hue-shift his garb from green to red, and deliver us the Mephiston we truly deserve.

I think it's great as is, man. The full shot especially.

This age verification stuff is really getting old.

But how old?

Ah, even better. Superb, thanks for sharing! :)

Thanks for this thread. Very timely for me.

The shot to the right, with it applied to the base. Is that fully dried?

It's really nice to see you painting the only real space marine chapter that matters, dude.

And boy howdy! Lovely job on them, too.

After disabling "JetBrains AI" (twice, because the first time didn't take), what I really didn't like about Rider was: to see the effects of changing anything in Settings, you have to hit save, which closes the settings.

You then reopen settings to continue setting up/tweaking/exploring. V tedious.

For Unity dev, I trialled JetBrains Rider a few days ago, to see if it gave me much more benefit over my VSCode setup.

It came with a code LLM automatically enabled, which mainly seemed to suggest inserting code I'd just deleted?

I'm back on VSCode with regular old intellisense.

Big lad number three.

Three modified Warhammer 40k Centurions posed with two distinctly lesser models.

Kitbashed me some Primarised Centurions last year that...*checks shelf*....yep...still aren't painted. But here they are, with slightly better proportions, and a bunch of other modifications.

Small circle punches at sizes of 0.5mm and 2-3mm make decent screw/bolt/rivet heads and coins out of thin styrene

The main shape is foamex/PVC foamboard. The rest of the detail bits are styrene/plasticard.

Kitbashed Dreadnought. Made him modular, so he can have the original or kitbashed legs, as well as a few different weapon/arm setups.

Nope.

I remember, in a time of innocence and wonder, when Figma updates were exciting.

In today's modern existence, it's a feeling somewhere on the spectrum of indifference -> dread of what slop gets shovelled in the update bucket.
