[GALLERY] n00b's stuff (probably not your thing)

[n00b1n8R]

Yeah, the icon says it's 3D but it's 3D models so don't get your hopes up. :p
This gallery will mostly consist of finished models (with a few exceptions) that I'm either painting for competitions or simply to kill time. I'm sure there's at least 2 or 3 people here who may care.

My latest model (done for a competition at another site, made from a GW fantasy dwarf, finished yesterday):

That's actually pretty awesome n00b. I've always loved the detail and time put into models.

[Bodzilla]

Update on the contest mentioned in the OP:

Tied for second, get to choose a blisterpack (i'll be impressed if 1 person knows what that is) as a prize. Which model do I get?

Decent job on that model, might benefit from some drybrushed highlights.

I did this guy (read: found my best looking gaunt, stuck it on a prettier base and called it done) for a local modelling comp over a year ago. First prize in the section :woo:

And if anybody out there thinks I was naturally half decent at this crap (Warning: ugly as fuck):

Painted back in early 06. I thought it was good at the time. :gonk:

[SnaFuBAR]

I encourage you to fool around with different paints and such. Try color changing paints, dark and light primers, and thinners, etc. also, multiple thin thin layers. They'd be a lot more interesting.

[n00b1n8R]

I've tried dark primers. Hated them (red took forever to get a flat colour).
What do you mean by "colour changing paints"?

Also, when your painting models for an army, it's best to restrict your pallet to a few key colours for the majority of your models, to keep the force looking uniform. Kinda restricts how much you can branch out as far as colour choice goes.

[SnaFuBAR]

When I say color changing paints, I'm referring to paints usually called "candy" or "chameleon". Depending on the angle light hits the surface, they reflect different colors. I painted a friend's motorcycle with this stuff, changed from black, purple, red, bronze green, and blue.

[n00b1n8R]

Can you get them in small quantites?
I've had the same 12 ml pot of black paint since mid 06. Shit lasts forever.

[SnaFuBAR]

Maybe, I've never had to look for them in small quantities. They do come in a spray form, so maybe spraying a bit in a bottlecap or something would suffice for you. Other than that, I'd say start working with catalyzed primers as well, though that might be a bit excessive for what you do. I hate solvent based paints and primers.

[n00b1n8R]

I use spray primers, and everything else is acrylic.

[Bodzilla]

get the last one n00b.

that dinosaur tentacle thing.
and we all know tentacles = rape.

[FluffyDucky™]

Wow, those are amazing, the first ones weren't high quality pics but when I saw the other ones... Fucking amazing bro. Nice work. :)

If you were referring to post 8, I diden't paint those. I just posted them for people to decide which model I should get (PS. I ignored all your opinions and got the librarian).

My friend Matt runs Tyranids at the local game shop, he would have loved that deathleaper.

[n00b1n8R]

posting itt with a bump~

Finally finished a test terminator I started in May (I havn't painted since sooo). My girlfriend was over and wanted to try painting one of the models which infest my room so she settled on a boy with a big shoota. It goes without saying that I was seriously impressed for a first ever model O_o

Yeah, I'm not dead :P

ps. This is sort of a coming out of the closet for me as I haven't touched white on my models since my first BFM space marines (if you've seen them then you'd know why I haven't touched it since ><). I'm pretty pleased with the result.

[n00b1n8R]

They're a lot better than most (certainly much better than mine). Not the best I've seen for a beginner though ;)

Reposting my models since this thread gets replies and I may actually get some crit :p

Get your mates together and have a painting day where you show each other what tricks you've learned and get a bunch of models done in one day. Paintings always more enjoyable with company.

E: from the dark bowles of my photobucket, I present n00b's classic collection.

The last one is from a fair while later.
I honestly thought that was decent, and the other shit I thought was cool/funny that's in my photobucket from back then omg :suicide:

[Hotrod]

Some of that stuff is looking real good! Especially that Terminator and that Hormagaunt! And for the other stuff...well you were a beginner at one time too ;) It's not bad though. In any case, I'm glad to see another Warhammer thread at the same time as mine.

[n00b1n8R]

wtf, thought I posted in your thread. fucking 1am shitposts ><
Thanks though ;)

[Hotrod]

Haha, no problem :P But to reply to your post, definitely not the best I've seen from a beginner either :P

Now would you kindly get your ass back into my thread? ;) :P
