I’ve answered this a couple of times but it’s basically to keep it from flaking off or going bad - the paint and glue acts as a protective layer. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!

I think it might be! Thank you for watching!

He could be a dinosaur sensation, this is a great shout.

This is a great suggestion, thank you! I was trying to keep it cohesive with the rest of my army but you’re totally correct, the gold can get lost very easily. I’ll have a think for my next paint scheme. Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback!

Lao Shan Lung is the OG, and a great suggestion. My only worry is that the scheme would be too basic! I’ll have to have a good long think on how to do it justice.

Free for you to not have left this comment friend.

I was bitten by a radioactive mole as a kid so my hands have been slowly shrinking to better dig through the mud when I build my burrow in the future. Hope that helps!

Thanks for watching! I just wanted to show my process and share what I’m doing currently in the hobby. It’s not a tutorial so there’s not gonna be tonnes of information. Have a great day!

Thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate it, honestly :)

He is the best of us. A Monster they’re too scared to bring back!

That would be an interesting scheme!

It’s my favourite game series and one that has been the inspiration for a lot of my models! Thank you for watching :)

I didn’t even think of that, UV resin could be a great gap filler. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate it. I’m not sure on a colour scheme just yet, that’s why I’ve asked the Seraphon subreddit and the comments here for inspiration haha.

@@thehobbyheap makes perfect sense. Maybe something big like Akantor or Ukanlos. Or Gogmazios

Haha I think it’s cool as well! I want more people to be proud of their hobbies and for more people to not put others down for their hobbies. Thank you for your comments man, it’s great to have you here!

Thanks for watching, I appreciate it! I decided to spray the basing bits as a layer of protection really - at the end of the day it’s still just tea leaves and herbs really so paint and glue will stop any nasty stuff growing on it

That’s a really good point actually, hadn’t considered that !

I appreciate the feedback! I actually did make the rods shorter but alas, there were still gaps. I’ll keep experimenting and hopefully my next one will have fewer gaps!

Thanks for watching! I actually just use my iPhone, and a phone holder on a bendable arm that I clamp to the desk. That way I can film what I’m doing and change the angle if I need to. Saving up for a much better camera in the future though 🙂

It was an expensive model, that’s why I wanted to do it justice! Unfortunately I don’t think it will be making a return in plastic but you never know!

Apologies my friend, I’m still extremely new to video editing. Will double check my volume levels on the next one. Thanks for the feedback!

That would be such an epic model!

I’ll give milliput a try next time - I’ll let you fill the gaps if you promise to give it back hehe

I’ve not heard of this product but I’ll look into it!

That would be so cool! I loved that game.

Thank you so much for the kind words! Yeah I think the word Miniature doesn’t quite suit this guy haha

Haha THICC with two C’s. After the hacksaw betrayal it was just another spanner in the works 😭

I’ve also seen this done but for smaller pinning methods - wasn’t sure how it would work for larger pins but I’ll give it a go next time for sure!

I’m not really sure, I’m still pretty new to video editing so it wasn’t intentional. I’ll look into it for future videos, thank you!

Hahaha my guy 🤙🏼

Thanks dude, I appreciate the feedback! Unfortunately even when I dry fit the parts, they still didn’t fit together properly so I just decided to go for it. If I ever build another enormous resin model I’ll try this method instead, thank you.

Dude thank you so much for watching, love watching your content too!

Thanks for watching! Hope to do some more Monster Hunter stuff soon, especially with the amazing Monster Hunter Wilds trailers we’ve been getting.

Ohhh I used to have a little forgeworld booklet from like 2007 and I used to dream about getting the Squiggoth, what a beautiful model that was!

@@thehobbyheap Sucks that it's so expensive, but I would like to get my hands on the Forgeworld Squiggoth someday

I tried liquid green stuff - and honestly dude they weren’t small gaps 😭

@@thehobbyheap build a few of the larger models, just finished the Tyranid Hierophant and there where some gaps like yours, i could fill it with the liquid green stuff. tube over to the gap and squirt it in. let it dry and give it some more as it can crack. also got the Tau Ta'unar model, that one where almost no gaps. and almost just converted a Lord of Skulls for my CSM from spare parts, had to make the sides completely out of sprue bits and green stuff :D

i also use different glue, when i know there is a gap i use super glue gel, it fills it out more and makes it stronger. for the string trick and to get into things i use fluent super glue it seeps into it.

Soon my friend, very very soon

One of us talks in steel, the other talks in streel…

As someone who played so much Monster Hunter Freedom on the PSP, Lao Shan Lung was always my go to but I just feel the colour scheme for him is so basic, it’s such a shame.

Oooh maybe some red wash in the recesses and a greeney black on top, that could work!

Ahhhh thank you so much for watching!

Wise words to live by for sure

It depends on the miniature! Most minis I just glue onto the base and then build up the basing material around it. For larger miniatures like my Carnosaur, I pressed it into the still wet leaf mix so I’d know where to glue him down after the base was finished. More fragile miniatures (like resin) I’d probably pin

That’s a fair point! I wanted to use easily accessible materials and make them go a long way. Tea bags, herbs and coconut fibre are dead cheap and will get so many more bases and dioramas done than a store bought texture paste. I guess it’s about how much you can make for as little money as possible. Plus a texture paste is usually just paint and sand - even with a primer and a paint the little leaves here will show through and look like a muddy leaf littered floor. I hope that helped answer your question dude!

@@thehobbyheap Hey thanks for the response, and fwiw I'm not trying to be a contrarian, I'm actually looking up video ideas for doing some bases for my Star Wars Legion Stormtroopers and came across your video. It's fantastic work, btw, and the end result is excellent. I'm just trying to understand the reasoning as a newbie to basing and, yeah, I can totally see the budget value in doing it this way. It's just that I really like the initial look before it was primed so now I'm wondering if there's a way to maintain that natural look with some sort of binder/glue that won't also make it look sludgy or slimy.

@@simonbelmont0993 I appreciate the kind words, and it was a good question! I didn’t think you were being contrarian at all. Some water down PVA does keep it locked in before paint and priming but for extra security it might be worth hitting it with a matte varnish instead of paint if you wanted to keep the original colouration. I haven’t tried it myself but could be worth a shot!
