I love that it has the Strickland logo on it.

Hey friend! I have a Gaslands


sub?lemmy? I don't actually know to call it. But I made it when I migrated here last summer. It's slow - but the posts would be welcome! Would love to grow that community!

Sure, I'll put together a group post.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !gaslands@lemmy.world

Chunky finish, especially on the metals. Sloppy shading. Build lacks detail. I did this with cheap craft paint more as a treat between than going for a high level finished piece.

I dig those chains and boards in the hood

How'd you get that rusty effect?

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Very easy. I sponge and stipple on browns, hull red, and then orange on top, with the orange more on raised details and edges I want to draw attention to. I recently did a war rig that I made a thread in here that is entirely done up in this way.

And here's another example of the effect.

I'm going to have to give this a try when I go to paint some Mek Boys in a few weeks (I've got too much going on this month 😭)

And dn that little car looks awesome, have you painted a bunch of those because I'd love to see more of them

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yes, I've done a bunch. I'll put together a group post.
