[QUOTE=cardfan212;44367441]Thus begins my journey of becoming more like Tai. Ordered my first model kit (1/24 scale 1991 Corvette ZR1) and a couple tubes of Testors plastic cement. Now just deciding on what color paints I want. I should also buy a knife while I'm at it.[/QUOTE] Sprue clippers are pretty much just as valuable as a hobby knife imo. Also, my first tip to you is that when using the cement, apply it onto a toothpick and use that to spread it on the plastic. Plastic cement is almost entirely unusable straight out of the tube.

[QUOTE=cardfan212;44367483]Any tips on painting techniques?

The only thing I paint at all is 40K (and pretty much next of my stuff is complete), and I don't enjoy it much since the prospect of mistakes makes me a sad man.

the holes where the SMS are supposed to mount are so obvious aaa idk what to say about those feet
Also, any cheap alternatives to miniatures like WH? I just want something cheap and fun to start with instead of shelling out for WH stuff and potentially messing it up.

[QUOTE=the_killer24;44367547]the holes where the SMS are supposed to mount are so obvious aaa idk what to say about those feet[/QUOTE] Yeah, I'll probably mount additional missile pods to the outside of the SMS if I ever get around to it, and the feet were a lazy attempt at some sort of advanced stabilization system for shooting that many missiles on a mostly mobile platform. My Black Templars are far more interesting, but I doubt I'll take any pictures until I finish this 2500 point list I'm making.

I also posted my list here if you feel like looking at it: [url]http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/584848.page[/url]
i left the warhams mid-5e so i have no idea if that's any good or not your feet reminded me of my conversions that i thought were SUCH a good idea at the time but looking back are really stupid [img]http://puu.sh/7L99F.JPG[/img]
[QUOTE=cardfan212;44367483]Any tips on painting techniques? I'm going with acrylic paint over enamel, is that the smart choice?[/QUOTE] easier to clean, I use Tamiya acrylics myself.
I used to paint 40k before it became too expensive. I never played, but I liked making them. [t]https://scontent-b-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc1/t1.0-9/734525_4634373465103_281787558_n.jpg[/t] [t]https://scontent-b-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/t1.0-9/316621_2130770636597_2134355592_n.jpg[/t]
[QUOTE=Taepodong-2;44366961]Oh my god I have to write another page and a half on this paper to meet the minimum page requirement but I've already effectively made my argument. There's literally no way I can add anything else to my paper without repeating myself a hundred times. Fuck this shit.[/QUOTE] Well I made it to 7 and a half pages without having to repeat myself too many times. It needs to be at least 8 pages so hopefully once I go back and finish my footnotes tomorrow morning it gets closer to being a full 8 pages.

[QUOTE=apoctank;44368310]I'm gonathrow up soon fuuuuuuuck[/QUOTE] that's quitter talk right there
I don't get that. I know I'm probably stirring up some shit, and I honestly don't care that people drink, I think that's fine. What I never understand is people that drink so much, get drunk off their ass, do really embarrassing, fucked up stuff, throw up and pass out like a shithead and than go on and on the next day about how funny it was or how great a time they had last night. Since when is it fun to induce sickness? I remember I was at work a couple years ago and a bunch of the guys were like "Yeah dude I was so fucked up I threw up on the bed it was so crazy" or something like that and they all thought it was hilarious. That's disgusting. I really, really don't get it. And that's not even going into the destructive side of drinking, like drunk driving or the people who get violent. That's a whole other beast to tackle.
i didnt get it either, but as long as you avoid drinking til youre sick, its a pleasant time. it loosens you up, makes things more fun and enjoyable.
