Contrast paints can x3 the speed at which miniature painters paint models. But the cost is that those painted models don&#39;t look as good as models paint by top tier painters, and have a different style to what was considered &#34;good&#34; by many people at the time. People used them because they weren&#39;t great painters and constrasts were better, or because they wanted painted armies that contained 100+ models in a short time. 2026-08-27T11:39:38Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsfdk8t5n80652vhsu5tq75m2u4rqup0ve5usl0yhdv7ngy5nyjpaszyzt5rfnhhd2suqmlffkc0qxc4yykmgmdjwsavtj4v36gkjqu2dwu2mpvtgu Now that I&#39;m working on my #gamedev company and I have a couple of big, important #warhammer hobby projects coming up I&#39;m really looking forward to getting back in #electronics<br/><br/>#ADHD 2026-08-18T11:44:20Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0qcj5sa6ur7fr8088selhr9aet75r520ajdxgp62lf2k4t47pkugzyzt5rfnhhd2suqmlffkc0qxc4yykmgmdjwsavtj4v36gkjqu2dwu2n0craq I&#39;m clearing stuff out on eBay, and two things that might be of interest, cheap old laptop memory and cheap old Creality printers that need love.<br/><br/>Micron PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) 2GB X2 Memory Sticks<br/><a href="https://ebay.io/m/cy0QiG">https://ebay.io/m/cy0QiG</a><br/><br/>A lot of 3D printers for parts.
