One of the biggest factors in getting a decent 3d model on the table top is model preparation. A lot of us in the hobby take model prep for granted because we’ve been scraping mold lines and plugging dodgy gaps for years. We all know how shitty a huge split down a main join looks […]

There are hundreds of things that I do every day that make my painting easier, faster and better and I’m still adding to this list every day. Of course practising and building skill is a huge part of it and you can’t avoid that but there are a few things you can focus on to […]
