My favorite part though would easily be basing. I love trying new things and you can add lots of little details to really make things pop.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504956/5244657.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504956/5244657.page GMT What do you enjoy most about painting/modelling? 40k.

This, plus bringing ideas that I've always had in my mind to life so to speak.
and seeing something on dakkadakka or google.. and trying to figure out how they achieved that effect
colours they used ect. the challlenge is what im getting at ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504956/5246663.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504956/5246663.page GMT Re:What do you enjoy most about painting/modelling? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504956/5247703.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504956/5247703.page GMT What do you enjoy most about painting/modelling? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504956/5247984.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504956/5247984.page GMT What do you enjoy most about painting/modelling? 40k. If i want to make a guy with a dragon head and eagle wings and give him 2 blades for arms and paint him pink and yellow.... i can. Its a great escape a place of zen almost lol. Also seeing a finished product and looking back at models and seeing how ive gotten a little better each time, to me thats very satisfying.

In 40k I get to express my ideas on how things work and I can make my army expressive, but with Warmahordes you can't do an extreme amount of conversion. Painting can be extremely fun, but I always have to be in a mood for it, and when I'm done painting one thing I have to wait a bit of time before the next thing. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504956/5248069.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504956/5248069.page GMT What do you enjoy most about painting/modelling?
I also love how easy it is to block out all the worries from the rest of my life when I'm really focusing, it's a great stress reliever.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504956/5248297.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504956/5248297.page GMT Re:What do you enjoy most about painting/modelling?

Personally, the above 2 quotes ring true for me! RayofPaint & lennymaybe FTW! I find it EXTREMELY therapeutic!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504956/5248953.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504956/5248953.page GMT What do you enjoy most about painting/modelling? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504956/5249911.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504956/5249911.page GMT What do you enjoy most about painting/modelling? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504956/5249951.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504956/5249951.page GMT What do you enjoy most about painting/modelling?
I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with painting. On one hand it's something I really enjoy. On the other hand I'm a bit of a perfectionist about it, and can sometimes end up torturing myself with it.

but i aslo very much enjoy painting... its so relaxing and the pride you feel when a project is finished is an added bonus.

on top of that i also like playing but a large faction of the appeal of tabletop gaming comes for me from the optical appeal of the board and the minis.

1- It's my quiet time away from the kids and everything in life. My painting area is in the corner of my basement where the kids are scared to go. It is where I get to relax and destress.

2- I love creating things, from building to painting. It nice to look at something that I took from bare metal/plastic and make it all nice and shiny.

3 - The sense of accomplishment when I finish a project

4 - Its my space and no one comes in there but me. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504956/5252067.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504956/5252067.page GMT
