Dibbler Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!! You have been REALLY busy! Looking terrific! Like the boldness of your colors ! *blush* They are mainly the studio colors, my gold is a bit brighter than the studio one, and I use purple on cloth (as opposed to black or red). I like it, they are a weird desert people. What they consider normal, may suddenly be "bright and shiny" for the westerners ;) Lovely work on those skorne figures. I also agree a speed paint after all that detail work is handy. Thankies! :D Yup! I reallyreally love working on these dwarfs. Their softish detail lends itself so wonderfully well to speed paint and prep. And feels dwarfy. WHAT? frills and buckles and stuff? Why do I need that? I have a polearm! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonator Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Hahaha! Sorry! I was referring to posts from quite a while back when everyone started talking about being from Norway or having family living there... Lol! I suspect that was my fault Kharsin. I'm a Norwegian fanatic I fear. I'm going there for my birthday (Bergen and Oslo). I love seeing Dibbler's work ! Jay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibbler Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 I got my biggest mininature order yet, Warmahordes FTW! Quick 'n Dirty update: Stuff! Forgot a blister of Beast Handlers. My tackle box of tokens, sorted out the ones I don't need for my list ATM (Skorne Battlebox, Beast Handlers, Agonizer, Extoller, Incinidiarii and swamp gobbers). Dwarfs are done-ish. A few details and varnish left. Going to do a show off with all ten :) My WIP Cyclops. I now have two more! Paintpaintpaint!And assembling a min unit of incinidiarii, currently borrowing models to proxy, so.. Got the mold lines off these bits, ready to assemble. Man those were a lot off work. Resin dust. I read about it on the web, and have started to freak out about it. Current strategy is to do it with the porch door open, wipe the surface off with a wet cloth afterwards, and change cloths afterwards. I could get a mask, but I'm not confident about my "wearing mask for hours, while having hobby fun time"-ability. Besides, I'm hobby-knife scraping, not sanding. How stupid does this sound? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

araziel Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Resin dust. I read about it on the web, and have started to freak out about it.

I could get a mask, but I'm not confident about my "wearing mask for hours, while having hobby fun time"-ability. Besides, I'm hobby-knife scraping, not sanding. How stupid does this sound? Nothing to worry much about if you're not sanding. Even then, as long as you're not manually sanding a lot of resin (and doing it dry), or using a powertool of some kind, the dust won't get airborne to any marked degree. It's in the same range as other stuff our body can't break down and that can form really tiny particles. Think asbestos or glass particles. Really tiny particles like that can get far enough into the airways, past the cilia, so they just stay there causing inflammation and possible cancers down the line. As long as the particulate isn't too small, and it's not airborne, it's much more hazardous to walk along a highway. Heck, or just live in a city. That being said, if you ever do dry sand with fine grit or take a dremel to some resin, wear a mask and do it outdoors. Last time I dremeled resin (and yes I wore a mask) I looked like a snowman afterwards. That's when you realize exactly why wearing a mask is advicable in regards to working with the stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibbler Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 I'll try to avoid using my sanding needles, then. At least when I'm not sitting outside. Hmm, what about drilling? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowRaven Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 if you're drilling by hand with a pin vice, you're probably going to be okay. Still a drop of water on the surface might not be a bad idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibbler Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) if you're drilling by hand with a pin vice, you're probably going to be okay. Still a drop of water on the surface might not be a bad idea Thanks for the tip! :) I have been getting a cold while prepping models. This has made me pretty paranoid :/ I really should get out the camera and do some show off today. I'll only varnish the cyclops first..
