I played in an AOS team tournament once where the phrase of the event was "this is statistically improbable" by our opponents regarding nearly everything we rolled for - we came in last place fyi 😂

My question is, what are the advantages of cleaning your brushes in warm bidet water as opposed to cold bidet water? Someone must test this immediately!

Mr_Papercuts @mrpapercuts.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

I had to look it up to remember if mineral spirits can clean acrylic paint brushes. Answer? No. Glad I checked first. Google Gemini answered this as well by saying the best way to clean acrylic brushes is with Warm Water from Home Depot. And provided a link to a Bidet.

I have been spending my week setting up and testing a digital camera, some new lighting, and learning about DaVinci Resolve. I wrote down a few storyboard ideas, and soon I think I'll be able to produce some painting guide videos 🤔

Same. Ran him yesterday and he kept the center objective so well my opponent stopped trying to take it back from me 😆

Great model and easy to build. Really hard to get though, he's a bit too popular.

WIP for Mayhem Devil #1. A tiny part of a 2k list for Warpstrike Champions + Destruction Cabal (terminators, obliterators, mutilators & havocs). So much more to do... #chaos40k #wh40k #gamesworkshop #warhammercommunity #painting #chaosmarines #minipainting #chaos

Painted an old chaos marine as a test model for my chaos marine project. This warband will be called: Mayhem Devils. The name speaks for itself as far as my head cannon is concerned #chaos40k #chaosmarines #warhammer40k #wh40k #painting #minipainting #gamesworkshop #warhammercommunity

10 unused push fit Assault Intercessors + a ton of extra bits from the Corsair army box. They're just 4/10 of what I came up with. Some minor things to add/fix but real fun project #warhammer40k #WIP #chaosmarines #warhammercommunity #redcorsair #miniaturepainting #paintingminis #gamesworkshop

Been gradually assembly chaos Marines for the past month. Did you know: every CSM box set I've assembled in the past few weeks comes with a transfer sheet? #chaosmarines #WIP #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k

Mr_Papercuts @mrpapercuts.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

My paints were nicely organized previously, but all the racks took up 50% of my table space, preventing me from working on larger projects on the desk. This new one is only 6 inches wide. Now I just need the actual work area cleared. Organization overload! lol

130

Mr_Papercuts @mrpapercuts.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

I strongly agree. I've tried about 20 brands of paint, and so far, Pro Acryl is at the top as well imo.

040

Mr_Papercuts @mrpapercuts.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

In a large bin under the work table. It's mostly old Vallejo and GW paints lol Yeah I have to keep very organized or I forgot stuff exists and just end up buying the same paints over again lol

120

Mr_Papercuts @mrpapercuts.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

Recently, I have really liked Pro Acryl and have been replacing a lot of my main paints with that brand. But also, I really despise trying to maintain mixing paint consistently. So I just find out which manufacturer has the closest pallet number, so I don't have to.

Mr_Papercuts @mrpapercuts.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

They are arranged by color, less so by tone. The order of color tone is based on my particular preferences, so anyone else looking closely at those sections would probably be confused. Mostly, the unobstructed items are the most used. Those behind the light or on the bottom shelf are the least used.

140

Mr_Papercuts @mrpapercuts.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

I had long since moved on from the brand before ever finding out about their hoplah. I was unimpressed by their quality compared to others (imo) at the time. So they are, gradually, getting replaced

100

Mr_Papercuts @mrpapercuts.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

I haven't been painting anything (lots of assembling Chaos Marines, at least) because life, good & bad. I did have a custom-made paint rack made, though. This replaced my entire setup & saved a ton of space on my work area. 4ft long x 2ft tall. Holds 200+ paints #paintingminiatures #minipainting

This Palantine Enforcer is done. Now to try to remember how I did it all so I can copy it 9 more times 🤔 #warhammercommunity #necromunda #wh40k #painting #minipainting

Mr_Papercuts @mrpapercuts.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

2 methods I use them mostly. Dampen slightly & apply paint just like you would with a drybrush. Or in the case of Shadow Brushes: stippling & some layering. I use washes A LOT and I apply paint over fresh paint & while still wet, acting as a shading medium. Like an Auto-blending technique.

010

Mr_Papercuts @mrpapercuts.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

I mainly use a set from synthetic PearlEssence, and a pack of super cheap ones off Amazon. Slightly dampen Large Round Brush for priming Foundation Brush for stippling. Eyeliner brush for smaller stippling/scratches Shadow brushes (many different angle types) I use for everything but priming.

110

Mr_Papercuts @mrpapercuts.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

I took inspiration from Retro Modern Sci-fi art from the 1970s, which uses the same teal/yellow/white color palette. But added in that Necromunda dystopian grimness :D

020

Mr_Papercuts @mrpapercuts.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

People frequently ask if I use Enamel paints, and I do not. My method of painting is a combination of makeup brushes and 0-sized detail brushes, where I wet blend colors using washes and wet brushes. For this particular unit, I am using Pro Acryl Paints & Army Painter Strong, Soft, and Dark Tones.

Mr_Papercuts @mrpapercuts.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

I feel like it may not be grimy enough, but just by a little bit. Cant have it too grimy considering the armor, or too bright. But maybe I'm just overthinking it? lol

Mr_Papercuts @mrpapercuts.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

I need to finish the leather, trim the base, finish the backpack and I'm not 100% happy with the yellow clothes yet. But this one is far along.

Mr_Papercuts @mrpapercuts.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

Due to life and other responsibilities I'm off to a rough start this year with painting projects. But here is my current one. WIP on Palanite Enforcers for a Necromunda campaign I'm in starting in a few weeks. #wip #warhammercommunity #necromunda #wh40k #painting #minipainting

Fairly new one from them as well. It's one of their USA Resin cast minis.

Hopefully, it all turns out all right. If not, contact the Mechanicus, and maybe they can hook you up with some bionic replacements?

Mr_Papercuts @mrpapercuts.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

I couldn't paint the eyes under a reflective surface. Hell I tried. I tried a lot. But at least they are happy with the results anyway! Maybe in a year I'll have photos of the whole plane he will be sitting in too. #scalemodel #painting #rcplanes #minipainting #paintingminis #nerdlings

Mr_Papercuts @mrpapercuts.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

Exactly the opposite for me. The process, the journey, is the fun part. The end is something to be admired, but not the goal. Once that journey has ended its time to move on to the next. I move on if I'm not enjoying the process either, or the end result suffer too.

000

Mr_Papercuts @mrpapercuts.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

Because other ppl have seen this on other platforms and asked... No I do not use an airbrush, but no traditional paint brushes are used either. I use makeup brushes. Dampening them slightly to prevent the acrylic paint from clumping.

020

Mr_Papercuts @mrpapercuts.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

Much improved on the fleshtones. The inner workings of the hat and the coat have begun. Nothing is complete yet. Painting eyes inside those goggles is going to be the real pita though... #scalemodel #painting #rcplanes #minipainting #paintingminis #nerdlings

Mr_Papercuts @mrpapercuts.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

Got confirmation on what the Plane is. Its called a British RTF Nieuport 17. So I was way-way off.

010

Mr_Papercuts @mrpapercuts.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

An update so far on this. So much more to do!

060

Mr_Papercuts @mrpapercuts.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

1/6 Scale RC. Big Chonker. I very briefly saw the plans, but I couldn't begin to remember exactly what they were. Sentinel, Vigilent, or Auster is my guess, but I could also be very wrong. It was a 1 seater and a very early ww2 boxy prop plane.

Mr_Papercuts @mrpapercuts.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

Thanks for the tip! This is a big help

Mr_Papercuts @mrpapercuts.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

I've been commissioned to paint a RAF WW2 pilot for a large scale model airplane. I don't have much experience painting at this scale. But I'll give it a shot! But he does look suspiciously like Jeremy Clarkson... #scaleminiatures #minipainting #nerdlings #painting #paintingminis

Rather than painting (or even sharing pictures) I assembled a box of Malestrain Genestealers. Then used a sonic cleaner on about 30 old Chaos Marines, who are yet another step closer to a rebasing and a fresh paint job! The fumes from Isopropyl Alcohol were a + Fun times are to be had indeed!
