First tank attempt done. Due to my rough primer application I didn't want to spend too much time on weathering it as the surface was so bumpy. Will do an Israeli Merkava tank next, they look cool and a different color scheme.

I think the game is fine but its more of a viking simulator than Assassin's creed. But I feel the last 3 games haven't been much Assassin's Creed anyway.

Did the primer with Stylnylrez primer (UMP) at 25 PSI and then base coat with Ammo Nato Green at 17 PSI. However the topside surface feels kinda rough, a bit lite sandpaper texture while the underside and side skirts are really smooth. Somehow I did something different when spraying the top of...

Newest project, Leopard 2A6. Thought tanks was built by gluing two halves together then painting it but it has way more details to mount than the airplanes. Pleasantly surprised by that. I should take it slow but once I start building time flies and I keep going. One more basket on the tower...

Love the expansion so far! Once I get in after 2h it disconnects. Like all things in 2020, you can't play/buy anything. I'll try again in a month or two I guess.

No stores will have stock for the 3rd party AMD cards over here it seems. Everyone have a notice they dont have any units coming in for launch. Even worse release than Nvidia lol.

I've seen a few "gunpla" youtube videos pop up for me but never watched them. Are they pre painted and you just add details/shading/battle dmg? Or do you paint every part from scratch?

My brother builds mostly WW2 tanks and I think they are more "detailed" than modern ones. The WW2 stuff got lots of shovels and other details to paint and seems to have more interesting camo/color schemes. I ordered a Leopard 2A6 Tank just now though to start with. Black, green and brown camo...

Thinking of doing a tank as the next project. Not sure which one though. I want to do a big ass tank if I go for it, not sure what model to look for as there are so many out there and the box art does not do them justice. Might also try build a car but I have not decided yet. Cars feels like a...

Finished the F-14a today. Used the Jolly Roger paint scheme as it was a bit different from all gray tones. Learned a lot how the paintbrush works and what varnishes to use. Now I need to try add more weathering and shading on the next build. Not sure what to buy though. Something besides a...

Listening to the audiobook right now but as others said. Nothing is happening. Same whiny characters that never seem to do anything. I just dont feel this series is for me. I just listened to a 2nd run of malazan and enjoyed that one just as much as the first time. But stormlight, not so much...

Almost done with my F14 project. Just the missiles to paint and fit and Matt varnish on the underside. I finally found a varnish that works for me, Vallejo Acrylic in Aerosol cans. They have the same thing for airbrush and will probably get that instead on the next build. More control with the...

@Hateyou We need an updated rage chart in here. My CPU is expected December 22nd. One could hope at least.

Threw in an order on a 5900x but I have no idea when it will ship. I'm in no hurry but maybe it will arrive at Xmas!

So funny to read some forums about these cards. "Nvidia sucks there's no stock", "amd will save us they got their shit together", "amd sucks there's no stock". Like it wasnt to be expected.

I enjoy this series but Shallan and her mental fuckup is a big turn off. Dislike her as much as some WoT female characters.

Even more of a paper launch this time. The cards went upp and now gone from the websites. No new cards until they get the non AMD ones it seems. Glad I did not have to fight on the front lines for this one. :p

Was curious about prices etc but the radeon cards are not listed over here until 15:00 and they have a very limited supply with no more cards coming until other manufacturers release theirs.

Thanks for the tip. Thinned it down a bit and dropped to 10ish psi. Worked much better now! It happened just as you said, building up and blasting out. But thinned down it was much easier but will still take practice. And to find a good mix of thinner and paint.

17 is the recommended for these paints, they are ready to go out of the bottle. But I guess thats only for coating large areas.

Thanks will try turning down the psi even lower. I did try around 17 and it still wasnt great. I think the paint can be a culprit also. I got the hang of painting surfaces though. My only enemy now is dust/cat hair finding the newly painted areas. :p The trick is many really thin layers with...

I think I found some info in youtube comments and I think it's the paint itself thats the problem when trying to do small and thin stuff. The paint is 100% water based I think and it seems its hard to do the small stuff, on the other hand it's a bit "safer" to use. Will try to get some other...

Yea I've been masking a lot but when people preshade and fill in the panel lines they go freehand. I've just been practicing on a piece of paper to make different lines and try get familiar with the airbrush. One guide showed making small to big dots, when I do a small dot it just smears all...

Been trying to improve my airbrush control but fine lines just does not work out. Sometimes they are fine and sometimes they just splash and push the paint away. I'm running at 17-20PSI with the Ammo paints. I guess one should also regulate the pressure with the trigger as well and not just...

What paints do all you use for brush/airbrushing? I have only tried the ammo paints due to them being ready to go from the bottle without thinning. They need to be applied in really thin and many layers though and I find myself rushing it so they tend to pool on some places. Thinking of...

Got the Spear just now and decided to try it out. It feels kinda OP compared to the other weapons I used.

My first project done. I started brush painting the hull and the missiles are Airbrushed. I was pretty happy with the paint but the clear coat I used failed horribly. I used Ammo of MIG Lucky Varnish. Supposed to do light coats with the airbrush and wait 5 minutes. But at around application nr...

About to sail to England and almost collected everything in Norway, the Elk owned me though so will try later. Is it a waste to upgrade the Raven Armor you start with? Guess hanging on to ingots until later is a safer bet? I like the game a lot, but the combat is a bit wonky at times. I have...

Wierd dbl post

Brush painted the Jas Gripen airplane and decided to try out my Airbrush skills on the missiles and fueltank. They should be White so I loaded my new Matt White to try it out. White just wont go on like other paints. Coats get so thin you hardly see and it pooled up really easy and almost...

Haven't watched any reviews but wondering which is the gaming cpu among the 5000x series? Saw 5600x mentioned earlier.

Whats the word on the new AMD processors? Will they go the way of Nvidia with zero stock and scalping? In no hurry to buy one though.

Tried the 0.2mm needle today (came with 0.2 and 0.4) and it really needs thinner paints. Might be good for small stuff though but will change back to the 0.4mm for the models. I know it's a practice thing but thin lines are really hard to make for me. Either too little paint or a big splat...

Played for 2 hours on Ultra and it sits at 60+ frames and sometimes 75+. Leagues better than WD Legion performance. I like it but not very far in as of yet.

Loaded the game up just now on lunch break and ran the benchmark. The FPS graph dipped to 1fps every now and then which caused a freeze stutter thing. Downloaded new drivers but cant test any further right now. Disapointing if its that bad when I get home. :(

I got blue screen the first time I started WD Legion also in my first Ubisoft launcher install. Only happened once though.

Yea I think I they can take a little bit of thinner even if they are quite runny from the flask. I had some issues with the tip drying as well with the other colors. Is flow improver something different than acryllic thinner?

I ordered a matt white as well and will see if it behaves differently, the semi gloss white was really wierd. Could hardly make it work with brush. But yea it took many coats to get it white before it all clogged up.

Many thanks. The tip was clean so I guess I need to get in the habit to stop with air like you said. Was just curious if I messed something up when I cleaned it. They are really tiny drops, and not many.

Got the Airbrush and fired it up today. Went pretty well at the start. Tried some blue colors then some yellow and it went fine. Got some spidering so dropped the PSI some. I'm using Ammo of Mig colors that should be ready go without thinning. Cleaned the Airbrush reall well and decided to load...
