A just-for-fun forg in the appropriate colour scheme. He's seen some things that no mortal being should see..

It's okay to take the time.
This was meant for Halloween, but she'll be late. Sometimes the day job gets in the way, and sometimes you have to give yourself time to enjoy the process. That's my plan here 😊

A work in progress banshee with a blue to pink gradient painted on her dress.

The bright yellow inside the skirt contrasts with the purple on the outside.

Another layer of the dress with edge highlights around the holes in the skirt.

I do a decent amount of work on locos and scenics for railway setups, but I don't have a setup of my own.

I use Citadel paints primarily because of their colour reliability across batches. So tell me, why are these not the same?

Averland sunset, you have failed me.

Two yellow paint pots show a difference in colour. The newer one is more saturated, but not as warm a colour. Not sunset, just primary yellow.

Yeah... You probably should paint those first. Sometimes a break from one project to work on another can give you inspiration, though!

MogsMinis @mogsminis.bsky.social · Sep 9

Thank you ;_;
I like to challenge the control I have over my brushes 👀

There's no justification for spending this long. Sometimes, you just have to paint the patterns on a cloak the size of a lentil.

A tiny figure stands with their sword raised. Their red cloak is painted with a very fine gold border.

The figure from a different angle shows the miniscule red stripes on a black stole around their shoulders.

From another angle, three black stripes on the corner of the cloak indicate the warrior's rank.

A very small standard bearer perches atop a painting grip. He is painted in black, red and gold, with a blazing eye on his banner. The artist's fingers are visible, seeming very large in comparison.

Finished painting for my mother's birthday. Acrylics on Bristol board. I wrapped her presents to match 🌹

A botanical painting of a rich burgundy rose, signed by the artist.

A small present, wrapped to match the painted rose. It has ties that look like vines, red cloth ribbons, and brown paper bearing a rose pattern. A green and red wax stamp adorns the front.

Working on my mother's birthday card today. Post is exclusive to Bluesky, since she isn't on here 🤫

A test piece - a very quick sketch of a rose with a few petals painted to work out the colours.

The beginnings of a painting, with a detailed sketch of a rose. The middle begins to take shape in rich burgundy colours.

Thank you for the advice!

MogsMinis @mogsminis.bsky.social · Aug 26

Thanks! I was planning to use my garage too. Good PPE acquired just today, and I feel great in my respirator 😁
The other stuff... I haven't the first idea, but I'm hoping Lychee's calibration settings can help a bit.

Good plan! I look forward to your updates as you get into it. I found getting to grips with the airbrush so liberating for all those unpainted minis!

Maybe we can trade intel - what type of 3D printer do you use? I just bought myself a Mars 5, and have no idea what I'm doing...

Practice with water first to get used to the air flow of your brush! Also, depending on if you're thinning your own paints, get a feel for what the correct consistency feels like. It should be similar to milk, and drip easily down the inside of the cup.

Feel free to dm me if you have questions ☆

I choose to believe that this is a herd of Dittos just chilling in their many true states.

Another loco weathering project - a Bachmann Class 20 (before and after).

Dragon-shaming hours.

He gets to go for a walk every day. I don't know what his problem is.

Before and after! They've had a good sculpt and are now primed and ready for the first airbrush coat.

Thank you 😊

Exactly!

I did! He's in my classic Mog-themed celestial colour scheme ☆

Note to self: There's so much visible grain on the frogbutt there. Remember to smooth the cheeks next time...

Oh DAMN that is some great detail. You can really see it in that photo. I love it!

Ahhh, thank you. I'm trying to get into the habit of posting more ☺️
