Ah ok so it seems like your priming is crucial to getting a good depth of colours with these then? Almost a bit like using contrast/speedpaints.
I airbrush primer and zenithal highlight my figs so theoretically that should suit me πŸ€”πŸ‘

Any of my painter friends ever dabble with acrylic marker pens for their minis? Am tempted to grab a set and give them a go, seems a really accurate way to do edge lighting and highlights 🀷.

Accidentally came across someone selling a matchday programme from my first ever football match as a kid πŸ‘€ had to buy it immediately. It's getting framed and put next to the replica shirt on the wall πŸ‘Œ

Haha! It's such a unique look afterall, maybe try your nuln as you mentioned and then if your not happy with a single coat you can always mix your own wash for a second goat if you wanna bring more colour in afterwards πŸ€”

Nuln will deffo mute the brightness but won't do a lot to show any kinda grottyness or wear. 'n' tear. Totally depends what your aiming for though. If I ever get round to doing a breachers team I'd want them looking really grim, a bit like a big daddy from bioshock if you've ever played it.

Maybe try an agrax wash over the void suit to dull the tone plus make it look weathered and dirty? 🀷

Wonder what the next mini will be we do πŸ€”

In a bit of a competition with a friend of mine, both printing the same mini and painting it up and comparing when we've finished.
Very happy with mine so far, still gotta do the boots and a bit of tidy up, but I'm already onto thinking about how to base him πŸ€”
It's Yarrick so ork corpses maybe 🀷

Just the cap kit. Have already replaced the cartridge slot & AV port at the back. In hindsight I could have just gambled on the caps being the initial problem and saved myself a lot of soldering πŸ˜….
It just needs to be back to functioning and il be happy. Itl likely just end up on a display anyway πŸ˜‚πŸ€·

It's certainly playable but the colours look awful, it's not for me anyway, I'm tryna sort it for a friend so he can start his own console collection and I'd like to give it to him in good condition πŸ˜… for what it's worth I actually have my own working Sega MegaDrive but mines the oldest version πŸ˜‚
