I need to learn patients

[samson]

Just back to the hobby after about 3 years and new to figure painting I need to learn patients my old style was just do it and hope for the best. And having more than 1 thing going Was the norm.but reading here and reading a few books my wife bought for me has changed that habit. First time back at the airbrush and I wanted to try some valiejo could never get this to work before. well what do you know a little patience and using valiejo products the model color sprays like a dream so now it will be 1 thing at a time it will take a little longer to clear up the plastic stash but I think it will be worth it and of course I plan some bust and figure stuff in between

When I just started modelling my Dad taught me that there are only THREE very important things in modelling: Patience, Patience and Patience. We've called them 'the three Ps' since.

Cheers,

Patience and research is always a pre-requisite and an important aspect when painting any kit. I am glad that you have realised this, as now your work will no doubt be that much better.

Regards,

I am reminded of the old saying:-
Patience is a virtue, possess it if you can;
It's rarely found in woman, and never in a man.

From all the marvellous models I see on here, that's one old saying that can be consigned to the dustbin!

Yes I am hoping that will be the case and I am glad I realized it early on

I need to learn patients . so do I , there's something very liberating about hurling a figure that's not going right from one side of the room to the other until you realize that was £35 - £40 worth of resin that just went SMASH . So I say patients , patients and know when to walk away and come back in a better frame of mind .chippy

Counting to 10 is right up there as well.

 

[samson]

Yes I agree I am learning to set it down and come back to it it will take a little longer to get it done but it will look better

 

[garyhiggins]

So, when we've done the research, learned to count, learned not to throw things at walls, learned how to swear like a trooper, that' s when we pick up the brushes? Right?
Best wishes, Gary

I struggled for years to learn that lesson. I still struggle with it, but I've become better at taking my time with my models. Not surprisingly, I can see the improvement in my painting starts around the same time I decided to take more time to research my figures properly and take my time to get the results I want.

I find you regret throwing your tools a little less than an almost finished figure, and working on 1 figure at a time usually works for me.

[samson]

Yes I agree it's also 1 at a time for me as well

Samson,

The last time my wife threatened to pack away my kits and paint, ..I said ok,.. I will just view some 'Porn then!' .. After quite an ear bashing, I got an un-expected little 'Humbrol Work station', through from amazon!

Funny how things turn out!!
