Thanks for sponsoring the episode, Miniature Market! Here's all that good good: Shazam: bit.ly/mniac-shazam Sirius Dice: bit.ly/mniac-sirius-dice Coupon code for these items is "MINIAC5"
So, priming minis with a spray can, what's the cut-off for humidity % outside? I mean, you don't prime a mini outside in the fog, but really anything under 60%? Under 50%? Because the dryer, the better, right? Maybe do a test in the sauna or in a steamy shower, then in a dry room to show, haha.
I don't even own an airbrush, nor do I plan to paint a tiny Shazam, I just like listening to these videos as some sort of inspiration while I paint some tanks. Nevertheless, they're always super fun to watch and I almost never get bored watching one!
Super nice toot. Just a point with oil paint work, they’re perfectly safe to use with fine Kolinsky sable brushes. Oils are actually milder on those than the acrylics we usually use. I thin and clean with odourless turpenoid/mineral spirits. I’d just recommend folks keep their brushes they use with acrylics dedicated to acrylics and pick up a separate set for the oils so there’s no cross contamination.
Great paint job and tutorial. Only one prob if you’ll indulge me. The hanging down sash on his waist you mistook for his cape. But other than that small thing....OMG THATS FRIGGING AWESOME. IT TOTALLY REEKS OF AWESOMENESS!!!!
Sorry brother bear, I’m just a SHAZAM (Captain Marvel) super fan. I wish I had the money for patreon but thank you sooooooo much for an awesome birthday vid (yes I’m counting this week since mine was on Tues 😁😉⚡️). Great work boss man keep it going!
I have a suggestion for a video. I really like the art style Borderlands uses, It'd be great to see a tutorial on how to create that effect on a mini. Thank you for all you have taught me, and continue to teach me. You helped me give me the confidence to start miniature painting. Love you bud! ♥
"White ink=god" is the understatement of the year. 3 coats, neat, to a clean, brushed-on pure white over a black primer. It also let's you get your subtle glow effect on super easily. Need thicker applications? Add a few drops to your paint to bring up the opacity. Ditto for black inks of this type.
Good video! And hopefully a good way to get more people to watch. With the thumbnail and the Shazam mini, it feels like a video that will appeal to a broader audience than you already have. I hope that works out! You deserve more attention, and more people need to know how fun miniature painting is 😁
Superb video!! A process I would have never thought of! I may give this a try! But also when you said he was vibing with Ronald McDonald i would hear him saying MCMUFFIN!!! Instead of SHAZAM !
Ever went into detail on Warhammer Fantasy Battle Kev. Gobbomaster Adams Snotling range? They were fun, the fighting snots, piggyback snots, and the BA Snots were my favourites...
I find all of your videos to be interesting and helpful. For some reason this one REALLY clicked for me. Can't wait to practice these techniques. Might even get that mini. Looks great!
Great paint job and an awesome mini! I watched the Goobertown ink video too and I was wondering if you could do a vid on painting a mostly white model, especially with inks? I'd love to see a White Scar model from 40k done with this technique.
High quality video, really liked it, even if don't have an airbrush, like you mentioned the model (and of course the video) shows nicely the light and shadow with painting.
Fantastic video...I'm new to the "Miniature" hobby, but I have years of experience with large scale model ships so I've really focused on your videos to learn. I have to admit that the jargon and lexicon of miniature painting was at first...a little too esoteric ...but after watching a few of your videos..."I be jiggy wid it" (that's how you kids talk, right ?). You have "sick" skills not just as a painter/modeler, but as an educator...well done.
Next project is a Primaris Legion of the Damned. This gives me ideas on how nail the Internal Glow look of a walking ball of burning Charcoal. A thing where I'd expect light to be coming from where the shadows would normally be. Things to think about.
Watching your left hand I feared you turned into a zombie while painting! The theory parts at the beginning and the end are super helpful. And you could start with more singing again.
Thanks, man! I've been trying to figure out airbrushing on my own so far and this video helped me affirm that I am in heading in the right direction and pointed out some cool pointers along the way.
Patience is hard. I am amazed at the amount of airbrushing you did on this little guy, if I tried that he would look like Swamp Thing. You said 35mm? So technically, this miniature is a larger scale than Warhammer miniatures?
Another awesome video, that word you are looking for for panel lining (which only applies to panels) is recess shade/wash. Keep doing what you do and thank you.
When I first saw the oil wash technique of cleaning after the wash I tought of trying it with the regular acrilic washes. I tried it with a Space wolf, done some zenithal lighting with various layers of the gw bluish greys, then a coat of gloss barnish, the wash of agrax earthshade gloss and then I cleaned it with one of those tiny sponges on a stick that are used for make up with a small amount of alcohol. The end result was super clean and beautifull, all the panels and recesses crispy clear and the light blue grey totally pure and clean. Worth it. Regards from Spain.
Wow, not only incredible work on the miniature, but the presentation in the end with the violet backround with the reflecting bottom of your showbox was amazing work to highlight your paintjob. What kind of photobox are you using?
I'm not the kind of dude who wants more than a couple friends at the most (friendships are draining for me). But you seem like a good dude. It feels like I'm hitting on you. PUT YOUR FRIENDSHIP IN ME, SCOTT.
With all the challenges out there, why not a mirror challenge? You block your light of sight on the mini and paint only looking in a mirror... the rage can be entertaining :) (did not look prior if this has been done, it's 5h48 am and my new born keep me from sleeping and he is ruining my brain haha)
Great video Scott. I really like these videos that you go into details on how you paint. Please do more of them! I’m also heading over to miniaturemarket to get some Harry Potter minis. Thanks for the code!
Always a pleasure watching your content. Loved how you explained your gameplan first! Love the Knight Models minis! I'm scared to dive into their DC line though.....mainly because I don't think I could control myself!
Sweet paint work. Have you thought about going back and just masking areas of the mini off with plastic wrap/poster tack to regain the ultra smooth blends for capes? Looking at the cool coloring of the basing when you were in the middle of setting up your initial reds would you try and hit the basing with a neon light effect on the concrete in future since it is Gotham?
Masking off the cloak might've been smarter for sure. If you were trying hard on the base (I was not), doing a rainy effect with some neon light reflection could be very cool!
Miniac perfect then it can be a series where you show all the amazing tips you have been sharing through the years as you paint an amazing dragon. Or not...I don’t blame you heh
the water-soluble oil paints exist , we use them in our art class... bye bye mineral spirits... they work as well as the old ones! Gonna try them too on one of mine minis, gonna love this experiment, Muhahahaha :p ;p
Yo dude,can you do a captain America mini?(not a big fan of him but I think the shading of the blues would be cool and without airbrush as I can’t afford one,and actualy think I’d quite like to stick to brushes)cheers dude🙂
I love your videos! Started watching last week and have been hooked ever since. Your skill is phenomenal and your explanations are really descriptive and helpful. Thank you for creating quality content! If you would like to colab on some merch hit me up. I think you may like my work.
HELLO SCOT {T} I WANT TO START BY SAYING I USE CAPS AS I HAVE AN ACUTE BRAIN INJURY! SECOND I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR CHANNEL!! YOU ARE INCREDIBLY GIFTED, FUNNY AND BRAVE! IF I CALLED MY WIFE A "WANKER" I WOULD BE DEAD. I LOVE ALL OF YOUR MEMES!! THAT COULD BE MY BRAIN INJURY, OR THE FACT THAT I AM 62 & CANADIAN AND I LOVE METALLICA!! THANKS FOR ALL THE EXCELLENT TIPS! THOMAS
What kind of flow improver do you use for airbrushing your white ink? After watching your videos about using white ink instead of white acrylic paint I switched instantly. From time to time though I was getting speckling and couldn't figure out why that was. So I am thinking I just need a little flow improver.
intro number 2 but bring the volume down to equal podcast volume. Also i think the name isnt a very good one for breaking out of your fan base. Maybe something like Roar In The Paint Pot, Roar In The Pot. just some ideas.
ive already heard that using diferent kinds of paints to paint eyes is a good ideia, like the wash, so you can cleanup if you make a mistake, do you know how to do it?
Should note that if you use oils before you apply an Acrylic, over time that acrylic will deteriorate. And putting a varnish over an oil will cause the varnish to "liquify". Oil should be seen as a last step only. Just letting you know before you go ruining all your hard work. I know this because I had to remove varnish off of a mini once, and olive oil will eat the varnish. Overall, I just wouldn't mix acrylics and oils, or you're going to have a bad time.
Varnish has never liquified when applied post oil wash. Lots of people mix oils and acrylic paint to very good effect, this is the first time I've heard if something like this, you sure?

the quality of your videos is insane - and it's still improving with every project!
so many solid principles taught in one video with one miniature. Well done.

That airbrushed purple smiley-face was a nice touch ^^
Miniature Market rocks! Just like this tutorial 👍

I love how well you explain what you are doing.
Those sanding twigs are invaluable, I passed on grabbing some when I saw them at the store, then found I desperately needed one when I got home.
I have a suggestion for a video.
I really like the art style Borderlands uses,
It'd be great to see a tutorial on how to create that effect on a mini.
Thank you for all you have taught me, and continue to teach me.
You helped me give me the confidence to start miniature painting.

Love this. As a fellow sarcasm user I appreciate the effort. Also the actual insane detail put into the miniature.
The way the oil wash moves is just ultra satisfying. THANKS

A lot of really good tips and tricks in this one as well.
One of the best videos on the channel so far. So many techniques and methodes in one video! ☺ 👍🏻
Awesome 🤘🏻 🤯
Impressive job!!!
Can you do a Hellboy minifigure? That would be LIT
going by the thumbnail pic, i really wanted to see how you painted the penny. i looked really impressive next that shazam figure!
Superb video!! A process I would have never thought of! I may give this a try! But also when you said he was vibing with Ronald McDonald i would hear him saying MCMUFFIN!!! Instead of SHAZAM !
Literally just ordered stuff from Miniature Market but the sweet siren song of discounts is not something i can resist.

Great tutorial mate. Your pre and post process in this video is your best yet. Keep it up bruh!
Next project is a Primaris Legion of the Damned. This gives me ideas on how nail the Internal Glow look of a walking ball of burning Charcoal. A thing where I'd expect light to be coming from where the shadows would normally be.
Things to think about.
What an attractive and skilled professional !
I could say the same of you!
The Alton Brown-ness of the chalkboard makes me giddy.
Great video, if a mile over my head with the shadows and high lights! Very entertaining as well...nice job
Wow that was a really good video, and amazing figure! Very good job!
Awesome. That looks great!
To desaturate purple try putting in a little yellow with that black and brown.
that would work too!
The knight models are amazing. I painted the Arkham Batman and it was really a great lesson in painting/ highlighting black in like 4 different ways
This was such a great breakdown, I learned so much.
Nice Captain Marvel (not Shazam). Will look into getting a white ink if I can find one.
Watching your left hand I feared you turned into a zombie while painting!
The theory parts at the beginning and the end are super helpful.
And you could start with more singing again.
Thanks, man! I've been trying to figure out airbrushing on my own so far and this video helped me affirm that I am in heading in the right direction and pointed out some cool pointers along the way.
Will definitely try that method myself on a couple minis, thanks for the good work my man!
Patience is hard. I am amazed at the amount of airbrushing you did on this little guy, if I tried that he would look like Swamp Thing. You said 35mm? So technically, this miniature is a larger scale than Warhammer miniatures?
Very nice work and topical too!
Air brushes, Inks, Oil washes, oh my! A lot to think about. Thanks for pushing the borders of my comfort zone lol. Great video!

That was brilliant white ink who would have thought?
Those paint shelves are brilliant. They standard office shelving or something more bespoke?
Little bit of both. They're from The Container Store, but I made little steps for each shelf.
Cunning. I can't get my feet under my desk cause of all the boxes of painting gear stored there and am looking for a shelving solution.
Love this vid.
For me, this is the real Captain Marvel.
Shazam is the word he uses to transform and he is not a Pokemon !
Wow, not only incredible work on the miniature, but the presentation in the end with the violet backround with the reflecting bottom of your showbox was amazing work to highlight your paintjob.
What kind of photobox are you using?
Fricking fantastic. Dat oil wash tho.
Cracking video tutorial as ever... and entertaining as ever !!!
Nice video 👍, and I love your zenithal coat !!
Dude, I frickin love your videos. Please never stop.
I'm not the kind of dude who wants more than a couple friends at the most (friendships are draining for me). But you seem like a good dude. It feels like I'm hitting on you.
PUT YOUR FRIENDSHIP IN ME, SCOTT.
D:
It has been great for you Years ago I published on my channel a tutorial on how to paint Batman from the same brand
Grat work as always!
Thanks! Just ordered Shazam, Martian Manhunter, and Zatanna
The white dangle part in the front is part of the belt waist area.
I'm so fucking happy I found your channel.
Great as always Scott,but if I need to mask off such a tiny thing what should I use?

Just found you randomly and you are already my favorite mini painter on TH-cam because you referenced AB in your video and are crazy talented.
Panel lining is a term used in gundam models.
I thoroughly enjoy ur video. From a fellow artist, u never stop learning. great job great Captain Marvel my favorite hero.👍

Hey miniature Manic! Why don’t you paint a bigger piece?! Would love to see you tackle a giant or dragon or something.
Because they take a long time to paint

SHAZZAMM! Awesome video, i have been thinking of picking up a few inks to run though my airbrush, do you prefer them to acrylic?
Inks through an airbrush are magic
@@Miniac Perfect thanks for the response, ill definitely pick some up!

This may have been answered already, but where did you get your foam sanding twigs?

The term you are looking for is pin washing.
Very cool, maestro! Quick question: Is Dr. Marten's ink comparable to the Daler-Rowney F.W. Acrylic Ink?
0:37 I read PAIN.
So foreboding.
That tip to use White Ink...Wow, just did...Thanks
Game changer.

@@Miniac I am sure. I'd recommend looking it up. Acrylics are water based, Which doesn't bode well with oil based paint.
@@williamrawlins5771 I'm sure mixing them when they're not dry/cure is a bad time, but otherwise seems to be a non issue.
were did you get the shelves from for your paint ?
hey is it possible to use a normal base coat as a wash? if so what ratio paint to water do i need to dilute it to?
What shelving to you use for those paints?
