Thanks KruleBear
Maybe someone has an idea how to fix this?

- request a replacement from Prodos.
- after you have a good replacement cut it up for a base / diorama along the line

Very cool. Congrats on the new family addition.
I agree 100%. But at about 8 months you will need to re-arrange hobby supplies as they can reach new places, are mobile, and love putting everything in their mouth.
Arkaan, during the first year of his life you will actually have lots of free time, fun begins when he will start to walk

Sword-axe-guy looks fantastic! I'd love to be able to do nmm like this, and you mix that fluidly with the cloth/leather/flesh too. Very nice!
FWIW, I have 3 young kids (3yrold twins and a 6yrold), and right now I can get quality hobby time a couple of evenings a week.
The great thing is showing them the stuff I make/paint, they think it is the coolest stuff ever

Thanks for appreciation guys ^_^
Just a little face update

And another nmm practice target I strugle to make nice thin edge highlight line, I think it is something with wrong paint consistency or lack of proper sleep

I am just starting to try and learn nmm myself, so no expert advice here, but
Have you tried to tap the edge with your brush? So instead of trying to draw a line, make fine dots along the edge?
The closer they are together, the more they blend, and even if they don't they can give the idea of sharp chipped edges on the metal.
Good luck with the sleeping.

Ah they look great. Really like your clean comic style with thaat deep conrast.
When I see that correctly you work a lot with striping and layering with quite opaque colors to create that look rather then using glazes to smooth every transition is that right ?
It came to me when I looked at the quigs lips and the "edge highlights" on the body. But I saw it too on the barbarian (which looks great as well btw).

[FONT="]CyAniDe You're right, I'm too impatient for glazing, I very often paint new layer before previous dries completly and poof, now it's ruined I'm still trying to work out my style and how to paint to get best results. Squigs are rather a copy of how gw painted them but even with that they're quite different.
