Good question! It’s meant to look vaguely like light is either spilling onto the black a little, or glowing through from underneath. Kind of a quick and easy way to soften the edges (and reduce the amount of flat black, which is handy)

A half skirt! Thanks for that! Was bugging me for days 🤣 glad you like the result too!

Love it when someone gets my terrible dated references! Wonder if Les Dennis could grow a beard like that… 🤣

Thanks so much! I somehow always miss one random part in every project - maybe I should pretend it’s to practice fixing mistakes? 🤣

Thanks! I did start to wonder what I was doing when I was painting a stick to look more like a stick 🤣 Glad you liked the results! They might be my favourite warband now I’ve got them done

Thanks so much! Fire Hawks is a fun paint scheme to do, it was painful to cover it up afterward 🤣

Thanks! I’m almost embarrassed at where I stopped last time, but progress is far too much fun!

I’ll take a double win for sure! Thanks Andy!

Thanks! I have a pot of Vallejo white glaze, so I figure I may as well use it. Easy enough to swap for thinned white or white ink I imagine!

That’s exactly what I was going for! Thanks so much!

Thanks! Took a while, but we got there! I never want to paint a tree again 🤣

Thanks Andy!

Thanks so much, that’s great to hear! I basically write down every random idea I have, and use these videos as an excuse to try stuff. Still got a quite a few strange ideas to go 🤣

What can I say, the actual wood wasn’t woody enough! 🤣 Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!

Thanks! We’re still playing through the expansions, so there might be more Hero Quest in the future. They’re a lot of fun to paint

You’re right, it’s so easy to get obsessed over the tiniest details when a vague impression would do better! Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks!

Also I want to steal that metal color for a project in the future, it's gorgeous. Did you use Scale 75 paints for it?

Thanks! The brushes are from Rosemary & Co, I’m a big fan of theirs. Flat synthetic ones, size 0, 1 and 2. Steal away - the metals are a little weird 🤣 The purple and fuchsia were scalecolor, then it was a scalecolor mid-red (I think aldebaran?) mixed with Vallejo model colour medium fleshtone, then just the fleshtone (adding white for the highest points). Any royal purple, fuchsia pink, tomato red and “flesh” colour will probably do much the same though, with the blue-cream priming underneath helping it along. That’s what gives it the temperature shift and keeps things getting too saturated, I think. Definitely give it a go, I’ll be interested in how it works out for you!

Thanks, it was a lot of fun! I’m thinking of trying for much more obvious brushstrokes on something in future, big flat brushes are great

Thanks Natalie! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! A box diorama is probably the sensible way to do it, limiting the angles. I’m not that sensible 🤣

Thanks! Tau have some fun models to paint, one day I should really do more

Thanks! It was fun to try

Thanks for watching! Still kind of baffled that anyone is watching my nonsense, but I'm very grateful 🤣

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

Thanks! Still a little surprised by it myself 🤣

Two out of three is pretty good, thanks! Do you think the focal point of the statue was too vague to compensate for the red edges? I probably should’ve done a blue-grey wall or something, but “should’ve thought this through” is basically my tagline at this point 🤣

Thanks! That idea sounds great - I say go for it, clear prints aren't something I've tried but it sounds like a lot of fun and a cool effect! Would love to see it if you do

Thanks! I'm glad I'd already tried out painting through the camera, it would've been really hard without!

That’s great to hear, glad you enjoyed it! I’m definitely happy, it’s not perfect but it’s a lot better than I thought it might go 🤣

Thanks! It would probably be a slow refining process, probably with photos of how it looks without the model as references. Try to make the statue text match up more, that sort of thing. But then the viewing angles will get even smaller… it’s a tricky one! Even moving a light when I was filming threw off the colours in places 😆

Glad to hear, maybe I'll come back to it sometime in the future and see if I can push it further. Although not for a little while, I need a break from paint-by-camera!

Thanks! Interesting you picked that side, it was probably the trickiest one, with the screen and dials and that long gun barrel!

Thanks! I've wanted to try this for years, glad it came together in the end. It's fun to pick up and turn around though, watch him fade and reappear

Thanks!

🤣 almost seems a shame to put the suit back in, I could go for the classic invisible stealth suit gag!

Thanks! Hopefully getting started today, wish me luck!

Thanks! Got to admit I'm a little nervous about the ending of this, I have no idea if it's even possible... but we'll find out!

That's really nice of you to say! I try to talk about my thinking as much as my painting - I figure there's a lot of advice on how to paint out there, but much less about my vaguely coherent plans 😂 Glad to hear you enjoy it!

Thanks! Can't take credit for the original idea, but it's been fun trying to plan it from every angle... here's hoping the next few weeks go well!

Thanks! You and me both! Although the big question is, after all this time… will it actually work, or is it going to be hilariously bad? 😆

There were mould lines I couldn’t get to with the axe in place, and even though they weren’t that visible I couldn’t bring myself to ignore them 😆

@@makominiatures Ah, ok. Excellent paint schemes.

Thanks! They’re pretty quick too once I get going, helps that I can basically skip half the model!

Ah, recasting - it would be great, but the few times I’ve tried to cast resin it’s a pain to make a decent mould, and really hard to get all the bubbles and haze and cleanup marks out of clear resin. I bet it would look really good, but I don’t think I have the skills. I’d probably go for a couple of parts of it being clear and paint a transition effect where they meet the normal plastic , might be easier.

That’s great, glad I could help! I can’t guarantee this will work at all, but it might give some inspiration with a little luck!

One of the best parts of doing this channel is finally getting to make and share some of the stuff on my long project list, it’s great! Maybe I should work out how to do polls of which project people think will be the funniest to try…

Thanks! Fingers crossed, because I have no idea how it’s going to go. Quite possibly a glorious disaster 🤣

Thanks!

Welcome to the hobby! The original models were my first painting too!

I’ve never thought about it, but now I can’t stop! He really is wearing prototype leg warmers, isn’t he! 🤣 And thanks!

Glad you liked them! It’s lovely to see them all painted on the board, usually crammed in a doorway being swarmed by skeletons. Does make me want to upgrade the board though… 😂
