I really like the chain mail on those guys. Nice work.

I got myself an airbrush! Primed a mini for practice. So far so good!

Nice man. I really enjoy airbrushing but haven’t taken the time to fully take advantage of it, maybe some day when my kid is a little older. There’s a lot of little tips and tricks to make it work better, clog less, etc that are pretty fun.

Have you built a little spray booth yet? I made a ghetto one with a tote, a filter, a fan, and an LED strip. Works great for me.

Gonna be working on a booth today! I have it near a window to vent it out, and yeah need a fan and some lighting and away we go. I also have some of those cheap air filters for over my nose and mouth for now.

My goal is to get the priming down, basic black or grey, and then do the Zenithal. After that I'll be messing around with more advanced stuff. I might use it to work on my Dragon or Giants.

I have hundreds of unpainted minis from all the other Reaper kickstarters...i'm sitting this one out. I may get a large piece or two if they are really something otherwise I pretty much just buy metal now since I prefer to paint that and have less time to dedicate to the hobby.

Gonna be honest I dont vent, I have a Tupperware with LED that I paint into but I dont usually paint long enough at once to feel like I need to, I wear a filter mask when priming and cleaning the brush but otherwise dont worry with acrylics. I'll probably get COPD or something we'll see

Nice. I follow them on IG so i saw a couple of these as they were getting done. Nice color scheme choice, do you get to pick that? What does that run, $2-3kish?

I think their team has six people on it. Generally when they post pics of themselves it’s 4-6 people. They do some great work.

Get a bigger magnifying glass and more lights!

I struggle sometimes too. I’ve thought about the face mounted magnifiers lol.
