Model/figure painting thread

[Rico_Tiel]

Helloooo, to anyone who paints figures or models! This is a thread dedicated to painted models, figures, repainted collectibles, custom anything, etc. if you can paint it, and it’s not a canvas or a wall, it’s pretty much acceptable in this thread, haha

Here’s a Good2Grow juice topper I repainted and I’m super proud of!

Original (left) and repaint (right)

Glossed him with clear nail polish, and now he’s suuuuuuper glossy looking! Clear nail polish tends to strip thin layers of acrylic paint, so if you plan on doing what I did, keep that in mind

Feel free to share what you’ve painted, and let’s see your work!

I've been painting up models for the past 2 years. Mostly of the Warhammer variety but I've done a few other things here and there. Here is a small part of the Salamanders army I've put together so far.

Woah! These are incredible! I love the intricacies on them all! I really like the dragon guys, and the skeleton dude (forgive me, I am not familiar with these characters ) they look AWESOME! Very clean paint jobs!

Don't worry too much, I don't expect anyone to know about 40k lore. There is a lot of it. The short version is that I'm painting Salamanders, one of the space marine legions. I finished some this month, manly of the heavy variety.

I also painted up some "trash cans" for battletech, because most of my local tabletop club plays it. 3 are painted in joke colors to look like trash cans, 1 is painted in a more serious color scheme if I decide I like the game and collect more.

Those have been my painting projects for this month. But, I did make one of my heavy troops subtly honor a certain yellow naped amazon. Bingo's passing has been nothing short of devastating, so I decided to make a couple small changes to one of my models in the middle of painting him to honor Bingo. He may be gone but he'll never be forgotten.

Awesome stuff, you guys! I love miniatures! I used to paint them years and years ago. Mainly dragons.

Got a few more projects done for July. First is a commission for someone at my local tabletop club. She was quite happy with it and I had a nice time working on something different.

Next, I painted up some Tyranids (space bug) for myself, and these 3 gave me a playable army for my local group. Giving me something else to bring aside from my growing army of green space marines.

Lastly, while working on a squad I'll show off at the end of next month, I also made "vtuber fanart" in the only way I really know how. Getting the face right was tricky and took a fair bit of luck but I got there in the end.

Beautiful. I love looking at other people's craft work.

Another month, another update on my painted projects. Only 2 this time since I've also been trying to tackle a big centerpiece for a painting competition at the end of September.

First is a squad of space marine scouts in Ultramarines colors, since when it comes to painting models to sell, it's best to stick to general, familiar paint schemes. And you can't get more general then the boys in blue.

Second was this squad of Hellblasters for my Salamanders army. Plasma rifle wielding marines who hit pretty hard at long range. I also made a "medic" for the medical training upgrade that they can get in OnePageRules.

Like I said, I'm working on a centerpiece model for my bugs, so that'll be done next month. There is a captain I'm working on for another painting competition, so I should hopefully have 3 cool things to show off at the end of September.
