yeah definitely! It's still here on my desk, chances are I will use it for something else. I just didn't like it too much on this figure, it messed up the shape of the mini too much to my tastes.

from the old DA upgrade sprue. The small, non-primaris one.

Yeah there's always a bit of a balance I think. I left out much more unsuccessful stuff than there's actually in the video now 😂. But the difference between the first failed try and the final successful one is interesting I think.

@@escherleduc9567 I can paint decently, it’s just that I don’t get a lot of enjoyment out of it. Feels more like a chore than a nice pastime…

@ Exactly the same.

@@escherleduc9567 Maybe we should just outsource the painting step! 😂

@ 😂 You can’t waste the money. You are good at painting. I’m going to do a huge step by step batch paint of everything I want to paint so everything gets done at the same time.

@@escherleduc9567 yeah that's a good idea. I can never remember how I made a specific color so painting multiple miniatures in the exact same color scheme is too much of a hassle :). Painting everything at the same time saves you that problem at least

@@escherleduc9567 thanks!

@@Wijkert hahaha I must have been listening to some epic guitar solo there

@@BravoTwo1 thank you!

@@Lady_Numiria thank you! It’s all based on the original , tried to get as close as possible 😊

@jorgenpinoy1724 hartelijk dank!

@@escherleduc9567 I have the same thing for sure… building and converting no problem, painting can feel like a chore… I’m not sure what to do about it except change expectations. Either sit there for a looooooong time to get it absolutely perfect, or settle for OK. Proper brushes do make a lot of difference though!

Thanks! He got a bit of an upgrade :)

@@dehoofdwerkerThe one with the servo skull, robe and banner. Looks really good. If only my painting lived up to my conversions.

@escherleduc9567 oh that one! Yeah that’s Captain UA-cam! :) i used him for my tutorials for quite a while, and I finally decided to properly paint him as well!

@ He looks amazing. When you are finished with your Dark Angels Army please show it. Make sure your photos are across the board on every platform.

@escherleduc9567 yeah these are all commissions so I won’t have them all together unfortunately! I can always edit them all into one photo though 😊

Exactly. And not a syllable less.

Thank you! It took a bit of effort to get those on there :). I recorded that as well, might make another video out of that bit.

Those are all some great tips! I do notice that with plastic miniatures you don't really need really stiff/sturdy pins, it's more giving them a good connection than structural strength. But finding metal wire can be a pain as you say. I think I got this 0.5 one from a random mix from the local hobby shop and it turned out to be that thickness by chance. Finding actual thicknesses that you are looking for can be tough.

@@dehoofdwerker indeed. It's actually easier to find the drills bits that match the metal wires you have, than the other way around.

Ah yeah, that's a good one too!

Those are ancient plastic bolters from second edition! I think you'll have to look second hand somewhere now, or find someone who 3d prints them

I've looked into the minis a couple of times but I can't get myself to actually buy and build them for some reason. I'm just more into sci-fi than fantasy I guess. I would like to use a couple of them for 40k conversions though, I think there's some good opportunities there.

@dehoofdwerker a classic is Nighthaunt for Adeptus Mechanicus. Seems right up your alley. You can go ham with wires and stuff.

@@Wijkert yeah I actuall have a couple of them, the old push-fit ones you could get for 10 euros or something. Never got around to use them... There's an AdMech project on the horizon, so who knows!

The original ones you get with the kit, rotated. And then some plasticard. You can see in the video how I made them.

Thanks

Thank you! I tried to get close to the original colors of the shells, even if it seems a bit overkill (why paint it in the first place then... :) )

@dehoofdwerker I remember you mentioned this in the video and you were right: if everything is painted, it will go together much better.

@@Wijkert yeah I've tried skipping it before but it will really look weird.

@@alexthompson3447 😊it took so long! But he’ll get there in the end

@@BravoTwo1 👍👍 thanks!

@ChaseDaOrk3767 👍👍👍🩸

@xxxxx9xxxxx9 yes there’s not much better than that! 😁😁. I’m not a big fan of milliput for sculpting, it’s too course for me. I hear the combination of the two mixed together works the best, but I haven’t tried that yet…

@Wijkert yeah that’s a good idea too! For some reason this video isn’t working either, I think it’s the same problem. I’ll try some more photo’s with different lighting to see whether I can sell it better, it looks way better in person than on camera. Probably the depth helps there.

@Wijkert many thanks! Yeah painting really isn’t the part I’m interested in, which makes it quite hard to focus and spend too much time on it. I always take high quality photos of the finished sculpts before painting too, they’re all up on my website. I do like them better painted though … 😊

@Wijkert it really is! I’m currently working on another video on closed robes, should be up later this week!

@@dehoofdwerker Looking forward to it!

@ 👍👍

😂 it sure does!

@@EyeOnTheTV many thanks! Oh that’s a good one, I’ll see if I can make a quick one out of that. Remind me if I forget about it in a couple of videos!

@@BravoTwo1 thanks! 👍👍

@ always brother, always.

@@Wijkert thanks! Yeah I’m not a big fan of the thick plastic ones either but at least they’re not as honking huge as the resin or metal ones…

@@Megalordsalmon every second of the day…

@@dalejohnson6292 thanks! It came in a pack of hands I bought a loooong time ago. I think it was Kromlech?

@@BravoTwo1 many thanks for the kind words!! I think I could make a chance with converting and sculpting, but my painting skills are simply not there to compete with the current competition levels. Those paintjobs are insane…

@ you’ve don’t conversions that I’ve never seen before nor has most competitors. Your painting is phenomenal, to compete I think k it would not take you but a couple models to refine that skill and your there brother. You are a phenomenal sculptor and painter! You can do it brother, I can guarantee you that!

@@BravoTwo1 thanks a lot! I will keep trying my best 😊😊

@beannguyenkhac4332 from the citadel skulls box! It comes in 2 separate halves.

@Bastion85859 i definitely do! You can find me through my website www.dehoofdwerker.nl or IG.

@hivefleet1 thank you! I love making Blanche pieces into 3d 😊

@@xxxxx9xxxxx9 thanks! They don’t like seals? That’s a shame. You could use some pouches, grenades or maybe some fur?

@@dehoofdwerker Yea. they are not fond of imperium but loyal to big E. Right! now gotta find one that fit and maybe add a skull with it. thx for the idea!

@xxxxx9xxxxx9 no problem! 👍

@@Megalordsalmon thank you!

@@BravoTwo1 many thanks! He’s almost done, I’ll do a side by side with the old metal one when he’s finished.

@ can’t wait brother!

@@Livitus I’ll do my best! 👍👍👍

@@escherleduc9567 well, for this one they do! 😂
