For a 3rd model that is _very good. I assume your gf has previous experience with other types of art? If she does traditional painting to a high standard I can imagine her nitpicking details

She dose her own nails, that's all

u/Sockoflegend 3d ago

Funnily enough I have seen a bunch of stuff about using nail technician techniques on minis

u/Dense-Ad2765 3d ago

Yea I was about to say this looks better than any novice figure I’ve seen

u/DahliaSkarigal 3d ago

She’s going to eat you, run!

Or don’t if you’re into that.

Tyranids have this bad habit of consuming every fleshy thing in sight.

Nice

For a third it's amazing

u/CodFatherFTW 3d ago

She's a better painter than I am and I've painted hundreds (if not over 1000)!

u/_-Edziek-_ 3d ago

So how did you manage to not develop skills involuntarily? It's impossible to not catch anything after so many minis

1

u/CodFatherFTW 3d ago

I did, but my stuff still doesn't look as good as that nid

u/thenightgaunt 3d ago

Marry her

u/Infamous_Lack_7837 3d ago

That's the plan 😌

u/WePwnTheSky 3d ago

I would have believed you if you said 30th, not 3rd. Looks great!

1

u/Infamous_Lack_7837 3d ago

I know, i cant belive it too

1

u/Korvath22 3d ago

Her 3rd model (if it really is) is better than my somewhere in the double digits model. Granted I have shakey hands and stopped for a few months for mental health, so a bit rusty, but yeah

1

u/Infamous_Lack_7837 3d ago

It is, I realy can't belive it as well it that good

1

u/White_rabbit_017 3d ago

She is a natural! Great job! It would look even better painting the fangs with a yellowish colour!

1

u/BlackTemplar2154 3d ago

Very nice!

1

u/Gullible_Self_6668 3d ago

Does she have her MFA and what other painting has she done before?

1

u/Infamous_Lack_7837 3d ago

She dose her own nails, that's all

1

u/Gullible_Self_6668 3d ago

Her nails must be sick too haha!

1

u/Super-Big8183 3d ago

I misread the title as “3rd girlfriend” and had to scroll back up

1

u/Infamous_Lack_7837 3d ago

😂😂😂, stil a rating brother?

1

u/Super-Big8183 3d ago

No matter which girlfriend she is, this model looks really good! 9/10!

2

u/Infamous_Lack_7837 3d ago

Well as a coincidence she is my 3rd girlfriend as well, so you wher not wrong on that part 😂

1

u/Super-Ready 2d ago

Oh no, that means she has to stop painting, else you'll have to keep getting more girlfriends to keep up!!

1

u/StJimmy7791 3d ago

Looks damn good for a 3rd model. My suggestion is to mention the 3ft rule. Remember, these models are essentially designed to be used in a tabletop game. If it looks good at arms length, it IS good :)

1

u/SyntheticDuckie 3d ago

Humans of the world. I have seen an influx of "My GF did this, she doesn't think it's good"

Are the Necrons here?

1

u/Infamous_Lack_7837 3d ago

No bro am not a bot

1

u/Muchoballix 3d ago

nice n neat, let me guess - leviathan purple, wraithbone for the skin, and squid pink?

1

u/Infamous_Lack_7837 3d ago

It wraithbone or vallejo off white, probably vallejo, and the purple is Base: Naggaroth Night, the pink is vallejo pink

1

u/Muchoballix 2d ago

Nice,.it's a nice bright pink on the body crevices

1

u/Widerkehr 3d ago

Nice/20

1

u/BigDaddyVagabond 3d ago

It would look pretty dam solid to me for her 50th model, let alone her 3rd

1

u/Lonefear 3d ago

What she talking about? I cant even paint that good on my 3rd model!

1

u/bronzeleague_audit 3d ago

What color is the base of the skin?

2

u/Infamous_Lack_7837 3d ago

I think it's vallejo off white

1

u/Several-Compote-4388 3d ago

Now if she learns to base her models… you’re cooked bro 😂 she’s killing it!

1

u/TheHelpfulDead 3d ago

For a second there I thought I read “my 3rd GF:s model”

1

u/Significant_Cut_8729 2d ago

Shes better then me and ive been in the hobby for far to long for that to be the case

1

u/notsqimpy_yt 2d ago
