#hobbystreak day 12 and it's back to the Scrapjet. The worst thing about weathering is taking that pretty yellow paint and uglying it up. Those early stages look awful. Fingers crossed it's not totally screwed. #40k #minipainting #orks

#hobbystreak day 11. No real time to hobby today so I did about the only thing I had time to do. Prime this beast. Still need to prime the "driver" and it feels like cheating, but it's not about the amount of progress, it's the consistency that matters. #40k #orks #starwars #minipainting #kitbashing

#hobbystreak day 10! Yay! Like a milestone or something. Did very little painting. Just worked on the grot gunner today. Never fully assemble a vehicle before painting. Buying second hand helps one see how much it sucks to try to paint detail through a half inch window. #40k #orks #minipainting

Hobby streak day 9. Did work on the ork. Was worried the muted tones wouldn't work but I think it looks pretty good against all that bright yellow. Still have metallics and weathering to finish still. #hobbystreak #40k #Orks #minipainting

Hobby streak day 8. Forgot to post again yesterday. ADHD is a real pain. Got a lot of the metallics basecoated. Liking the AP Ironclad Grey I used as a base for the tracks and may just highlight up from that and make it rubber rather than metallic.

Hobby day 7. Slow but steady progress. Mostly cleaning up the metallic parts to get more even coverage. Still deciding how I want to paint the metallics. Might be time to switch projects to refresh the creative juices.

Stayed up too late and forgot to post my day 6 hobby efforts. Shaded and highlighted the brass and started the basecoat on the gunmetal. still need to get the brightest brass highlights. Really looking forward to weathering. Orks feel too clean without it.

Hobby day #5 and I've got the yellow mostly done. Worked on some of the other areas but have more work to do on the red and brass. Once they're done I'll start on the weathering and damage. I am second guessing the amount of brass as it doesn't really stand out as much as I'd like against the yellow

Super duper short hobby day for #4. Mostly spent experimenting with Sharpie's acrylic markers. The yellow brush tip one is the perfect edge highlight color over Army Painter's Moonbeam Yellow from the John Blanche series. Please excuse the potato quality pictures. Will take better ones tomorrow.

Hobby day #3! I feel like I can actually start calling it a streak now. Still working on the yellow. So many layers to get it opaque! Then a thinned targeted wash of Reikland Fleshshade before I start highlighting. I like a worn and sketchy look so there will be a lot of variety to the highlighting.

Short hobby day for day #2. Went and saw Frankenstein in the theater with the family and did a few loads of laundry so didn't get to the hobby table until late. Applying a thousand layers of yellow to get a smooth base. Should have used the airbrush. Need to prime tons of stuff. Maybe tomorrow.

Giving public accountability a shot. We'll call this day 1 of my hobby streak. Borrowing inspiration from @electricbluedragon.bsky.social. Got my Mörderin Kickstarter minis cleaned up and put together. I've got so much in progress on my desk there's no telling what will inspire me tomorrow.

Planning to paint up a mob of trick or treater grots. Got the first one done. He really hopes you recognize who he's going as
