I don't have many " real world friends" to paint with, since few of my friends are into the hobby, and the ones that are into minis tend to be busy with life stuff, but these days my online friends have become the people I interact with the most. It may sound dumb but just having someone who understands the complexities of a paint job there to say "hey man, that looks dope" is a huge motivator for me... I'm so needy lol.
Several years ago, I moved from Seattle to the rural midwest. In Seattle, I was in a few clubs, attended regular meetings with other modelers and painters, and was kept motivated by the various projects we all worked on together. Here in the sticks, there's none of that -- if I want to join a club or shop in a model or game store, I need to drive 3-4 hours round trip. For obvious reasons, face to face meetings have been off limits for everyone. My Seattle friends were just as disconnected as I was, so they setup regular Zoom meetings to keep connected. This granted me a reprieve from my flyover state exile -- the internet means it doesn't matter where I am, I can always join one of several weekly meetings. We even have people joining while they are traveling, on vacation, heading to the doctor, etc. So I'm with you -- the importance of these connections cannot be overstated. I miss the face to face meetings a lot, gathering around a table and filling it with paints and tools and plastic and snacks and jokes and laughter. Online, the table is smaller, and I have to buy my own snacks, but the rest of it is still there, and as long as I'm stuck here, I won't give it up without a fight.
@@khanoclast exactly, for all the downsides of social media and online stuff there's an upside too. the modern world has the potential to connect people in a way that just wouldn't be possible otherwise. Glad to hear you're still getting that hobby time with friends in.
@@j453 @J you're always welcome to chat with me on my channel or insta, I'll try to do some live painting sessions at some point soon so folks can get some online hobbying in together
This is the video I've been waiting to watch since I saw maniacs one and tabletop minions. I got into the miniature painting hobby by accident after starting back in airfix kits four years ago this July, mate gave me a kit to help fight depression which I suffer from and was self harming , before I was diagnosed and giving the happy pills. Your videos and the guys have helped me grow and now I've got an airbrush, something I never thought I'd buy let alone use, I live alone and get support online from other hobby groups.
This is such truth. Last year I got a craft shed, which meant I finally had a place to invite a friend for hobby session. And that changed everything. The amount of painting I did in last ten month is unbelievable to me. I never knew I was capable of such productivity. And the only thing that really changed was that I had a friend come over once a week. And it was not just paint session days - I really wanted some progress to show by next session too, which made me find time on working days to do something to show on Sunday. The best painting hack ever 😁
Recently had an old High School friend move back to the area after being off in other states for well over a decade, so I hosted a miniature paint day as an excuse to get the old HS crew together (+ some SOs & friends) to catch up. Most attendees were complete noobs to mini painting, but they all had a blast painting up some weird minis we got in a bundle off Amazon. We plan to do another one in the future since it went over so well. There were not many quality paint jobs that day, but there was lots of laughs and good banter. As someone who struggles to find the motivation to paint instead of doing any of the other activities that compete for my attention, I love hosting a group paint jam since it forces me to take that time to paint! No excuses, no being lazy, I will be painting! Also, when you paint with a group, even if just a couple others, it just creates a ton of positivity around the table. It's easy to get distracted by flaws in your paint job or your level of skill, but then someone goes "That looks awesome!!!", or one of your friends decides to paint a tiger in the style of a 90s Dixie cup, and it reminds you that painting should mainly be about having fun with your hobby, not stressing over imperfections.
Dude! Are you kidding me! It's like walking into the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame while every member is there jamming...And ya happen to have your ukulele with you!
We have a meeting in Seattle we call TNI, which stands for the Thursday Night Irregulars. Every Thursday evening, someone hosts whoever wants to come for a build and bull session. Sometimes you get twenty people, sometimes half a dozen, hence the "irregulars" part of it. Some folks show right at the start and stay until it's dark, some arrive after work and just sit and talk, others come and go as they can. Over the past few years, these sessions have gone online, and expanded to Monday and Wednesday as well, so more folks can join. As a cat owner, I've found the best way to herd cats is to setup a space with food, and put food there at the same time every day. The cats herd themselves. So just pick a day and a time, put out the word (and some chips and fizzy sugar water) and see who shows up. Do it again next week. And again the week after that. And again the week after. And if you need to, make adjustments until you find a time and day that works for as many ~cats~ folks as you can get.
Ever since I started painting about 2 years ago, I've been DESPERATE for the chance to paint with other people. Every one of my friends has been asked if they'd want to come paint with me, and I feel like I'm the only one with any inclination towards it. I get so distracted from painting, and being able to sit and be social while enjoying the hobby would be so lovely.
I'm also the type that prefers to paint alone, but the value in someone else helping you out when you are stuck would be huge, so discord is probably the best alternative. You guys are all amazing, thanks for the entertainment.
I did paint-ins a couple of times and they're really fun. I moved to a rural area and there are really only car enthusiasts and hunting people here. So yeah I hope to find some painters some day.
I have paint days with a friend of mine. Every other week or so (going tomorrow actually). She strips and repaints monster high dolls, while I paint miniatures. Having someone to bounce ideas off of is so helpful. You can give each other ideas/feedback when something isn't working, or is working but needs tweaking. And just hanging out, and talking is also cool. Glad you guys had fun. And thanks for sharing. Loved this!
As much as I enjoy your painting-videos, I even enjoy the general hobbyvideos like these more. Much inspiration is drawn from there, and motivation to keep building the local group, thank you 🤝
And if you live remote, and want to paint with people, offer mini painting classes at your local library. That's what I started doing with a starter pack of Army painter paints, a handful of tupperware wet pallets, cheap amazon brushes, and some 3D printed minis. Have 3-4 regulars for my first few, but hopefully it will pick up once the snow melts.
Built some Liberators for my nephew while he explained just how he wanted them customized. It’s amazing how righteous you can move in the company of those you want to perform for. Alone or not that child born of Mother Earth is always happy to be with you, could not forsake your art, since something is always better than nothing.
Hey Vince, I havent painted properly in 6 months, but yesterday we had a paint session (before even seeing this posted) and you're absolutely right. I feel totally energized to paint again and get back into it!
I got a buddy of mine into mini painting recently and he’s really enjoying it. We often will connect over messenger video and chat while painting. We occasionally get together in person to paint as well and it’s super fun.
There is a night painting initiative in city where I live. After pandemic it moved to big jams once a few months and regular online jams with cameras on. It is probably only time I'm motivated enough to paint
All these painters have been my personal favorite content creators regarding the hobby for years.. there are a lot of others who are good but for some reasons exactly these people here are my personal favorites.. and now seeing you all together painting as friends is so damn wholesome. It all started with uncle atom. Then sam Lenz, man how I love this dude. He just feels like he could be one of my buddies to meet at the gym or pub. Ninjon and miniac are such geniusses and vince is just the calm friendly professional dude who knows exactly what he's doing. It feels like when your favorite players of a sport suddenly play in your favorite team.
I know how you feel. I discovered all of their channels individually, and really enjoyed their content, and then was blown away when I learned they were all good friends. I just look at this video, and I am in awe of how much talent is in that room.
Paint jams are fantastic! I've found them a great way to blast through some of the less fun parts/tedious sections of painting. I have to edge highlight 1000 feathers? No problem, I been laughing with friends all afternoon and barely noticed that tedium.
I haven't played wargames in many years, but I still hobbied. Recently, I began bringing in assembly or painting projects to the lgs, which has been an enjoyable atmosphere to sit and hobby, stroll about and connect or just passively observe. Great video Vince!
VinciCon, great! Well, the mankind ist social based. So Stop talking about, just do it, like u 5 guys done it. Staying together, talking to each other (and not just staring on the Smartphone). That really helped each other in a round. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. Ty for this.
Hobby sessions make my little autistic heart so happy because I can be in person and talk to people without all that annoying eye contact. Also because half my brain is occupied by doing the thing I can’t overthink every single thing I say 😂
I once ran into Vince in a smoky hookah bar in Des Moines. I asked him if he had any hobby words of wisdom to share. He said these profound words to me, "On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero."
Painting with friends is how I paint almost exclusively. its a great way to catch up with my friends when we aren't board gaming, PC gaming or just hanging out. I love the company of my friends when painting, we can share our resources with each other, we can share constructive criticism and ideas.
I have mixed feelings about this, makes me miss the old times, loved hanging out with friends and painting but it doesn't seem that's gonna happen again, at least not with all those same friends, one just decided to talk to our friend group (well minus one), another is very busy because of his job and family (completely understandable), so no doubt you guys had fun, but this almost seems in the past tense for me (I mean never say never)
I think the easiest thing to do is just hit like at the start, I mean it's The Vince, it's going to be good occasionally have a video call paint session, but would be great to get everyone together once a month. I assume you had all the lights, what sort were those black ones? they looked handy
Most weekends I spin up a Zoom call and spend a few hours with friends in different countries. We often build the same models and paint in our own ways. We use a couple of devices - phones and laptops to be able to share the work for critique, encouragement, support or just to chat and laugh together. Being remote is not a challenge, chosing to share the hobby is a great mental support.
That's odd. Adam is left in the picture (around 10:15 ) but the audio is coming from the right channel.... (Using headsets and so that *really* sticks out XD)
Great video and perspective, Vince. It would definitely be more motivating to join in with others and have a paint session. I would welcome the feedback. Quick question…how do you best remove dust from partially painted minis? I have had a long break in painting and now my minis have a nice layer of dust. I thought an airbrush might help. But not sure if it’s the best approach. Thanks!
If I had friends to paint with then I would have finished my Stormcast collection months ago. The mental blocks and actual fear of screwing up the miniature has been an issue. The biggest mental block being whether the paint is of the right consistency. Also, I am years away from the desired edge highlighting standard :(
Technomancer, what is the light your guests are using? Would love to get one for my paint buddy's next hobby hang. This the kind of wholesome content we need. What a goody group of PPs. Long live Eggypt
Good idea, but for every 1 youtubber who is popular enough to have the sheer amount of friends to do something like this, there is like 5000 dudes out there, who don't exactly have the time or social skills to organize something like this. Sure, i have gaming buddies, but the extent of our social transaction is "Can you print out/paint this thing for me?" HOWEVER, i didn't post this to piss on your parade. Not at all! I think this is an opportunity for someone like yourself to do the following: Create a non-Patreon-locked Discord channel. Promote the channel to your audience. Organize the Discord channel to sub-channels based on specific 'day of the week' and 'start time - end time'. Explain to users that these channels dictate the day of the week and time frame that all participants who join the channel, must be on voice chat to 'hang out' and chat while they are hobbying. From here, and after a few weeks, you can assign channel admins who control and manage the channel for the date/time that they are online. This would be for like your old fuddy-duddies (like myself), who will stick to the schedule and dedicate themselves to that date and time, every week. Secondly, create a Facebook group so that this group of sub-admins can promote their sub-channel, in order to get more people to join up and hobby alongside.
Great video, thank you! Just stumbled over your channel :) What kind of lamps are you using there? They look exactly like what I am looking for for month. I have to travel a lot for work and something portable would be amazing :)
Hangover Jon eating paint off his brush like its candy was my favorite part.
Alcohol abuse and eating paint is funny right 🤤
The Thumb nail looks like an Album Cover, Vincey V and the Tendies! They play a Fusion of Smooth Jazz and Scandinavian Death Metal.
So they're a Meshuggah cover band? ;)
*wet blend, not fusion.

100%. Being in a couple of fun, supportive Discords has been crucial to keeping me hobbying.

I can't even begin to explain how much I'd love to see a paint jam with Tyler. Would bring happy tears to my eyes. I'm rootin' for him!
I'm glad at least one person was wearing magnifiers. I have no idea how people can paint without them :)
Allways feels like 'I wish I could be there' when you show bits from VinciCon. Great video, sir!
What a great idea - Adam mentioned this weekend on his channel and I’m so glad you gave us a peak behind the curtain. 👍
Great idea,problem is organising something like this with my gaming buddies will be like herding cats!

Before I moved many states away I did this with some of my friends getting into the hobby. I really do miss those times.

What an awesome idea! Looks like you guys had a great time, and bounced some great ideas off each other. Good stuff.
This was very interesting. A lot of the best painters in Europe paint in groups. Spain, Poland and Germany to name few. Sharing the knowledge etc.
lol i love how everyone else at the table laughed when Adam said "sure" 9:20

Man, what a great group of people!!! Love you guys!!
This was a really cool video Vince. There is something to be said about our friends helping us improve by being there in person.
Love paint jams to get the creative juices flowing.
Absolutely! Hope you are doing well Zambies and having a great new year.

Not gonna lie, I thought this thumbnail was a Pearl Jam/Korn jam session and I was here for it. Still enjoyed the video a bunch though!
I love the red effect on Scott’s Bat dragon thing.

On a scale from 1 to Hasselhoff, how hungover was Jon in this video?
He was mostly okay by this point, so like a 4. ;)

occasionally have a video call paint session, but would be great to get everyone together once a month.
I assume you had all the lights, what sort were those black ones? they looked handy
Funnily enough this is one of the things I'm looking forward to at Adepticon
I followed the thumbnail's advice of painting with jam. Ruined both breakfast and my brushes. Curse you Vince!
Can’t wait to here about your signature MH team up
I really only paint with friends. I'm 25 and my friend and I get together and paint minis together 1-2 times a week.
Most weekends I spin up a Zoom call and spend a few hours with friends in different countries. We often build the same models and paint in our own ways. We use a couple of devices - phones and laptops to be able to share the work for critique, encouragement, support or just to chat and laugh together. Being remote is not a challenge, chosing to share the hobby is a great mental support.
Great as always Vince. Where did you get them lights from that everyone was using the black ones. Would you recommend?
Ottlite, the travel version. They're fine for this purpose, I wouldn't use it as a regular painting light unless I needed a pop-up space.
New Avengers movie looking solid
The world needs more vincicon.
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
It probably helps if the friend you're hanging out with has every painting supply imaginable already on hand.
It's not bad. ;)
Great video, I love to get a paint session going. Can be sooo hard to organise one though
That's odd. Adam is left in the picture (around 10:15 ) but the audio is coming from the right channel.... (Using headsets and so that *really* sticks out XD)
Strange, the mic being used is two-way shotgun mic effectively, so it must have picked that channel.
@@VinceVenturella But you're hearing it too? I'm not imagining it? ;)
Great video and perspective, Vince. It would definitely be more motivating to join in with others and have a paint session. I would welcome the feedback.
Quick question…how do you best remove dust from partially painted minis? I have had a long break in painting and now my minis have a nice layer of dust. I thought an airbrush might help. But not sure if it’s the best approach. Thanks!
Soft, big make-up brush and just some gentle dusting.
@@VinceVenturella Thanks, Vince!
Awesome video. What are those black fold up lights you are using?
Ottlite travel lights.
If I had friends to paint with then I would have finished my Stormcast collection months ago. The mental blocks and actual fear of screwing up the miniature has been an issue. The biggest mental block being whether the paint is of the right consistency. Also, I am years away from the desired edge highlighting standard :(
That's all okay, it's all part of the journey and nothing to fear. Time and deliverate practice and you will get there.
ADAM! "Sure"
Jon came for the cakes and pies haha
what lights are you guys using on your paint tables? Those are excellent
Ottlites, travel edition
So.. When is the VinceyCon going public? :)
What are those black desk lamps you guys are using?
Ottlite, the travel version.
Everyone should have turned around and said "ancient eggypt"
You got some good friends to paint with! Does anyone in Michigan want to do something similar? :)
I love painting with my buddies, can just agree on everything here.
Does anyone happen to know, which lamps they use?
Ottlite travel lamp.
@@VinceVenturella thank you!
Hello Vince !!! May I ask what are the black personal lamps that you are using ? Looks really neat !
Ottlite, travel version.
That a ton of talent in one room. I’d love to be able to sit with y’all and chat and learn as I paint.
How many years before VinciCon overtakes GenCon?
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
@@VinceVenturella I enjoy them all. I appreciate you and your friends immensely. Be safe.
Brand new to all of this, so not sure how to even locate a discord for painters. Any suggestions?
Hobby Channels often have Discord links and communities, so your people on youtube often have paint communities ready to go.
Monument Hobbies has a great discord
Wish i had friends
Meanwhile Atom is bleeding on camera...lol
10:36 assault weapon spotted
I wish my friends painted 😭
Sure.
Looking at the still for the video... "Hmm, new Midwest Mini Mafia album is going to be dope"
👍👍
Not even one minute into the vid that there is disgusting brush licking...
...And after two minutes, here comes Ninjon and it gets worse...
It is nasty
right, now I have to find friends that paint...
What is that lamp that Ninjon is using? Looks perfect for my go-bag.
actually it looks like everyone is using the same style
Ottlite, the travel edition.
Thanks VV. I see now that I wasn’t the only one asking and appreciate your patient responses to everyone. You rock.
Technomancer, what is the light your guests are using? Would love to get one for my paint buddy's next hobby hang. This the kind of wholesome content we need. What a goody group of PPs. Long live Eggypt
Great vid. Also here for details on those lights. Thanks alot
Ottlite, got mine from Amazon.
Good idea, but for every 1 youtubber who is popular enough to have the sheer amount of friends to do something like this, there is like 5000 dudes out there, who don't exactly have the time or social skills to organize something like this. Sure, i have gaming buddies, but the extent of our social transaction is "Can you print out/paint this thing for me?"
HOWEVER, i didn't post this to piss on your parade. Not at all! I think this is an opportunity for someone like yourself to do the following: Create a non-Patreon-locked Discord channel. Promote the channel to your audience. Organize the Discord channel to sub-channels based on specific 'day of the week' and 'start time - end time'. Explain to users that these channels dictate the day of the week and time frame that all participants who join the channel, must be on voice chat to 'hang out' and chat while they are hobbying. From here, and after a few weeks, you can assign channel admins who control and manage the channel for the date/time that they are online. This would be for like your old fuddy-duddies (like myself), who will stick to the schedule and dedicate themselves to that date and time, every week.
Secondly, create a Facebook group so that this group of sub-admins can promote their sub-channel, in order to get more people to join up and hobby alongside.
I cannot give my money to the Ancient Eggypt Kickstarter fast enough
my advice is to get a 3d printer - all the random weird stuff I've printed gave me tons of practice/cheap excuses to try stuff out
Vincy Con. What a great name.
Ahh, knowing Jon is a brushlicker makes me feel better about.... Everything really
Great video, thank you! Just stumbled over your channel :)
What kind of lamps are you using there? They look exactly like what I am looking for for month. I have to travel a lot for work and something portable would be amazing :)
Welcome, glad to have you along on the hobby jourmey - they Ottlite, the travel version.
