Merci pour ton commentaire.

Yes, thank you for astutely noticing my poor attempt at humour.

Keep it. Don't throw it in the bin. A little CA glue and resin putty will get it fixed. FW models are not easy. You need to dry fit your pieces before glueing to make sure they fit properly. It's an expensive model to throw away..

Thanks a lot for the comment. It's been just real difficult lately to find time to make more videos. But i'm definitely planning to make more.

Good you fixed it :) In the tools sidebar -> Collection properties -> Units, set to Metric. Unit scale: 0.001. Also Set length to millimeters.

Happy if I could help! Thank you for watching the vid.

There is a way. Once you have changed it go to File/Defaults/Startup File and it should be saved.

I don't even have or need a graphics card. Just a hybrid CPU. Trying to keep things minimal without having to rely on expensive gear. It's just triangles after all. I figure If my computer has a hard time rendering the mesh, there must be a problem with my design.

Hi, Thanks for the comments. Blender can be used in hundreds of different workflows, from rigging, lighting and texturing, not just modeling. You'll end up using just a few desktop shortcuts after using Blender for a while and you will get used to the interface. Blender is known for having a very steep learning curve. You can use try Z-brush which is specifically for modeling, but it doesn't offer that fun little perk of being free as in beer. You can save your preferences (Millimeters, etc) using File>Defaults>Save Startup File and in Preferences>[Hamburger Menu, lower left]>Save preferences. Just remember to back those up from your Applications preferences folder, they will be crushed when you update the software.

That's great to hear. Don't hesitate to ask if you hit any hurdles. The learning curve can seem steep, but getting the keyboard shortcuts early on really helps. Also, planning ahead with rough sketches can help conceptualize your project before jumping in Blender.

Nope, next time doing this model will be sub-assembly for sure. The inside of the cape is a pain to get painted once assembled so are the sides of the chest and thighs.

It's been a while since i assembled this, but if I remember correctly, there is a little tab on the cape that is inserted between the shoulder pad and neck that can be pressed quite easily. It may be better to stick the shoulder pads last. This will also allow you more space for painting the side of the ribcage.

@@ministudio7746 Mate, this is my 2nd Lion model.... I messed up the first by following FW instructions, but will put in the shoulderpads last this time

honestly i have just finished the main model and dear christ i had to cut a bit around the cape to make it fit with the pads i would say best is paint then do the cape before shoulders and then finish up. otherwise shit gets stuck or wont go in. <.< the instructions suck ass... honestly. i did alpharius last a few months ago and he was actually quite easy, even though i fucked the cinematic stadn up as it is fucked... my bad but the model is fine. and alphariuses instructions where non existent, yet it was better then what the lion got. i got lost in this mess alot plus as i said i think the way they want you to do it is kinda wrong.

@@gadrielvanorion9872 Yup, I fully agree the instructions were unhelpful. Though they (FW) probably would never suggest to paint in sub-assembly, which is definitely necessary for this model.

Thanks a bunch!! I've added a Greenstuff tabard since filming this and i'll be painting him for the coming weeks.

@@ministudio7746 cool

Thanks ! It means a lot to me. Thank you for watching the video, it makes me immensely happy.

Thanks so much !!

Depending on the mouse cursor position when you begin your transform, maybe the scale operation went too far, so your cylinder may be immense of very small and out of your view. Ideally, your mouse cursor should be closest to the objects' center point when you begin the operation.What are it's dimensions ? Did you by mischance touch another key while scaling your cylinder ? Tell me if you managed to get it working, otherwise we'll figure it out.

Thanks ! I'm lucky enough to be starting a second of one of these soon, this time 40k style. Waking The Lion ;) I'm in Montréal, Qc.

@@ministudio7746 I have Two myself sent one off to Den of Imagination and im going to paint one. I'm based in Alberta, it's nice to see more Canadian content.

@@ministudio7746 If you are interested in Dark Angels batreps feel free to check out the channel.

@@AuspexGaming Yes, I've checked out a few Dark angels BatReps on your channel a few months back when 9th was coming out. It's great ! Can't wait to get back to gaming....

Thanks, it means a lot to me. Yes, I use only Citadel paints. I will update the description with a list of the paints used on this model. For the armour, it was mostly Abaddon Black to which i mixed a touch of Incubi darkness. Then I added Corax black with a touch of Vulcan green , then mixed dawnstone and administratum grey, blending to the highlights. I hope that clears things up. I am trying to be more vocal when i paint and describe what i do, but it's difficult to do three/four things at once ! Thanks again.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll try and figure out why. YT tells me connection is excellent. Will check camera settings again.

MiniStudi077-E amazing job all the same!

Yes, i also had problems with lining up the arms. I had to cut and file the wrists on the sword and chainsword portions. I was going to magnetize anyways, so I knew some work had to be done to get it to fit. I've put almost five hours just on the main body, so i'm not at all close to being done. The base is going to take forever. Have you gotten the arms to line up properly ? I would like to see your finished model !

MiniStudi077-E unfortunately when I tried to get the arms to line up the left forearms snapped off, popping the pauldron loose as well. When I tried to remove the arm to repair it, the upper arm where the pinhole is that attaches the pauldron to the shoulder cracked and crumbled. The model is unusable at this point, unfortunately.

@@BOLANAREDE321 Maybe try to contact Forge World with pictures ? Maybe you can get just that arm piece replaced ? Or in the worst case, try pinning what pieces you have remaining with wire and patch/remodel the gaps with green stuff/Milliput ? This is sad for such a great model. I'm sure you can find a creative solution.

as somebody who just finished base model holy fuck, the hands / sword, the belt strap, the FKING CAPE made me mad the hands have no clear picture to see how exactly you should line it up im a nooby yet im rly proud he looks borderline perfect. the belt strap was such an insane pain as it is small, its hard to keep on and its easily fuckable. the instruction make you walk into disaster with the cape i used an xacto to cut away at the piece that fits in to make it actually fit. and the backpack is a nightmare to get in as i had to do like 6 seperate attempt to make it work. infact after no lesss then 5 hours i was done ( multiple short pauses for the nerves and to get glue off my tools included) i ran out of glue after this, i JUST perfectly was able to make it to the end with my glue model didnt break and in total i think im good, the cinematic stand it next, though only once i got some more glue
