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!

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!

These look awesome!
 
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 šŸ’”) 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.
