Re: New Maiden Album coming Sept 3rd 2021 - Senjutsu

I haven't yet. It's down the basement. I have the clear lacquer, I just haven't gotten to it. So I'm assuming it is resin with a metal insert?, and it's the resin/paint that they advise not to get wet? If so, I can live with that (same fix as yourself), but would you mind taking the metal bit out a...

Re: Kitbash: Minotaurs, new pics 2024-03-27

Cool.

Had you considered actually having the larger spikes a different colour (maybe pure white?)to break things up?

Re: Kitbash: Minotaurs, new pics 2024-03-27

Reworking the spikes. Made center spine spikes bigger. Adding some more variable size spikes. Running the spike pairs a little further down the back. Good thing that I bought a couple hundred of the 3d printed spikes . . . Looks MUCH better now (for MY tastes anyways). Looking good! Undoubtedly the...

Re: Kitbash: Minotaurs, new pics 2024-03-26

. . . I think it may be a combination that the center line spikes were a bit bigger in prévious version and the differences in color of the spikes, Making them appear more random and varied . . .

Re: Kitbash: Minotaurs, new pics 2024-03-26

Thank you for the honest feedback Ian! By previous version, did you mean the single row of spikes, or Or the cluster of spikes but with more of them running all the way down the back? I just liked the overall look of the unpainted placement (last post on previous page - 1 photo copied below). I'm a...

Re: Steven "Ignatz" Lee's ALS fundraiser

Thanks for posting this Todd.

Tried to donate but (big surprise given it's Facebook) it's putting all sorts of hurdles in my way (and making me more than a tad suspicious regarding what it's asking for).

I'll try again tomorrow when I'm not so tired.

I DESPISE Facebook.

Re: Kitbash: Minotaurs, new pics 2024-03-26

I'm going to be honest - I preferred the previous take on the spikes - looked more natural & "nasty". The current version reminds me of a playing card suit (sorry).

But it's YOURS and so it's YOUR taste that matters.

Yeah - found the post - it was on the previous page (my excuse :arrow: it's been a long day and I'm not getting any younger!)

So did you clear-cote yours?, and if so, has it worked?
