The Crafter and Artists Sticky Thread

And before you ask, yes, I do do all my own painting! It's the best bit!
Those look great! My daughter is very into Warhammer (unsurprisingly, she was the only girl in the after-school Warhammer Club :lol: ) and she loves painting her models. Her dad is very proud! :lol: :lol:

Not yet, not been on the home PC or my laptop long enough to look!

I have found some of my (older) Chaos army stuff though from Facebook: back in the heady days of 2007 when they were newly-finished and being used for actual wargaming! Relevant to the epoxy resin post, here's a Disc of Tzeentch I scratchbuilt entirely, from a base of Milliput and then added organic detail with Greenstuff and spare bits from other models:

Awesome! After my move I lost all the bits so I got one Flamer of Tz. and ...ergh half a head haha I'll make that into a base for one of the orcs likely. This was my progress on the Coven Throne

and a little of the Ork I was gifted for giving a friend a fair few paints and sprays

Thanks :D I didn't get into it until I was almost 17 so I'm a late starter!

Coven Throne looks great :D Love the little flowers. Orc's looking good :) I have an Orc Mordheim warband :) They're not as awesome as my Beastmen though.

I don't really buy new GW stuff anymore: they stopped supporting Specialist Games (all the cool, smaller-number stuff) and a lot of their stuff doesn't fit what I want or I can get it from elsewhere (eBay etc.) cheaper. That flaming daemon for instance? That's a High Elf Phoenix-Eagle Thing head on a Balrog someone was selling as 'some random demon//dragon' XD I'll try and remember to find pictures and post them. I also stopped playing everything GW but Warhammer Quest and Inquisitor (and occasional Mordheim) in favour of WarmaHordes and have even thought about Infinity, but I've not done any real modelling for 18m, except I made an SR-71 Blackbird in March! First time I'd painted an aircraft since I was 18 :D Will put it together soon hopefully.
 
need to see that!

Hah thanks, I was half experimenting using the Technical (Nurgle) paint to try and create moss ¬___¬ it kinda looks like I've went a bit nuts with a yellow though

I had to sell my collection largely when I moved last year so I'm trying to slowly build it back up. Because the years of painting I get very grumpy by being limited on paints when I want to use a ridiculous-do-not-need amount for my orcs haha. Orcs are my armies, used to paint a loooonnnggg time ago other people, but now I'm gonna focus on scene pieces. Vs models are fun :lol:
 
I made a card for an RPG friend's birthday :)

It's one of the best flat-surface paintings I've ever done: card, canvas or otherwise.
 
It's amazing how time consuming creating is, I have nowhere near your talent, but make cards and can easily spend 2 hours colouring in an image that I've stamped!
 
After making me something very special for my birthday last month, my daughter has started a small craft business making plushies. Super proud of her as she creates all the patterns herself and does all the sewing too. :D

Here is her latest project:



She loves sewing plus she's hoping this will make her some extra money while she's at college. :)
