You prolly dont care but does any of you know a method to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me
@Avery Moses thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Shoot I didn't notice the errors in the first... loved it and when I saw you where doing thor I wasn't expecting the conversion which made it that much more epic.
Parchment paper (like you'd use for a wet palette) is actually really good for rolling Milliput. The Milliput will stick, but you can rub water through the other side of the paper, thinning the Milliput just where it's adhering to the paper, and then you can peel it off pretty easily.
Awesome video Scott! I really liked the color pattern of the first cape, but I really appreciated you explaining how you went back over the cape when you painted it the second time. I dont have an air brush and really enjoyed seeing how to get a really cool looking cape by bringing up the color from the darks to light. I always learn something new from your videos, whether it is blending techniques, feathering, etc. Thank you for putting out quality content! Looking forward to seeing you PAINT MORE MINIS! - Very Respectfully, Joe
Tip for rolling out Greenstuff/Apoxie Sculpt/Milliput: roll it out on baking parchment paper (prob the same stuff most of us have for our wet palette). Apparently it is laced with silicon which is what keeps it from sticking to baking foods and, subsequently, sculpting mediums. Thanks Uncle Atom! *Insert old 50's thumb swoosh and cheesy smile here*
I was surprised by the work of carving the ax, a lot of work, I think it is the best miniature superhero that I have seen, I would like to see more superheroes.
You've quickly become my new favorite mini painter. You're a smartass sarcastic metalhead who knows how to paint a mini with skill. It's like looking into a mirror. Except I'm fat and have an obsession with Harry Potter... don't judge me. 🤟🏻🤣
Hello Scott.. Handling with miliput to make it flat, better using baby oil for a better result. I used this kind of clay like miliput or Epoxy Sculpt often and better used it with baby oil. Baby oil can smooth the result and not making the clay sticky to the hand also..
I feel that since your base has the deepest recesses being blue it kind of makes it look like the axe has recessed blue parts as well. It looks like they're glowing blue cracks and not lightning. Not that's really that bad or anything.
I feel like the issue with the head is bc classic cape comics have very little to do with actual human anatomy, trying to apply reason was always going to fail. Like you said, he's not the shape of a normal man, so I think you would've had to find a similarly Liefield-esque mini for it to look totally perfect. I think maybe you could've cut the neck down shorter to match the super swole look, but it's superheroes, it doesnt matter.
This is my favorite video of yours so far. You are my go to mini painter on youtube for two reasons: First, no one else seems to be critical of their own work or ever make mistakes. Sure, Vince Venturella can put more contrast in an ogre's left buttcheek than ive ever had in any entire model in my life, but I'd rather see someone stick a tiny head on a big thor any day. Fckn up is relatable and like-able and mistakes are better learning points. Second, you're from Minnesota, so.... yeah. We just unconsciously hang dong all day. What it is bro. What it is.
Regarding the head size: One (I guess ironic) thing about that is that in the comics, heads are drawn smaller in order to make the characters look more imposing and taller. Of course, since this is the movie version, that makes it... wrong. So to speak. That said, I didn't see a real issue with the head size per se - the armor might bulk him up quite a lot - although, in all fairness, I think that might come down to the simple fact that the scult itself is subpar. But nice and entertaining video, so props for that.
Hi Miniac I thought the lightning effect on the blade was good enough, but I know that it could've informed the NMM a bit more, and I wish we could've seen you wrangle that sort of problem. I know you might have wanted a more game-ified effect so its not a bad solution, but I also thought that up against such a realistic shine, that it was an abrupt contrast. I hope you do more videos. I hope your patreon is working out well for yal. I also want to say that I really enjoy your podcast. I know its hard starting out with anything so please keep it up!
I really enjoyed your interpretation of infinity war thor! I found it interesting the way you sculpted the weapon stormbreaker and really liked the conversion head. I think my favorite parts were the weapon sculpt and the chest piece. I think its pretty sweet how you bring so much contrast to each area. Also thought it was interesting how much control you had with edge high lighting with such a large brush, or it seemed large. I find myself trying to use a small brush to paint on my warmachine mini's, but I'm struggling with this nasty dry halo near the feral on my brushes. I really enjoy your vids, don't waste time on the boots boss!
@@Miniac To shape, yes. But to make a flat piece to cut out the axe? I made lots of tiny tools like hammers etc. for a diorama out of plasticard. If you shape something by sanding and cutting away I'd try plasticard the next time. I find it a lot easier and less messy to sand than milliput. Give it a try. BTW for my german ears you pronounced Mjolnir correct.
what an entertaining and informative video! high quality content as always. happy to see these videos intersect with current pop culture, may help increase exposure to this niche hobby. TL;DR keep up the good work Scott!
Love the conversion. Can't say I like Non Metallic highlights. They make metallic paints, I'm going to buy metallic paints. I don't think your head is too small, it's pretty good to me. Your Stormbreaker was great, just a little more meat on the hammer side maybe. Whowever wins your Conversion I.W, Thor will be very lucky. Great Video Miniac. Now you need a End Game Captain America with Shield and Mjolnir. :)
Stormbreaker was very well done, sir! Having Thor land with such force that the earth is splitting apart, was a brilliant idea. That part looks badass! I've been thinking about this for some time: NMM which isn't near perfection looks just straight up worse than TMM. I think it takes an insane amount of skill, time and effort to pull. Hell no - I can't do it myself. I respect the effort, Scott. It's like it looks bad, not at all. There are some competition pieces out there with some staggeringly gorgeous NMM work, which I dare say surpasses any TMM I've ever seen, but the investment is for sure enormous. Have you guys had similar thoughts?
Also think you could have shown a more bombastic kind of base with maybe some slate chips for shards of pavement bursting from where he landed. Overall I liked it you did great with the models you had.
I really like the proportion of the head, and the sculpting is simple and effective, great job. On the other hand the lightning on the blade is pretty... meh. The effect it's not convincing and the lack of OSL from the axe pushes that fakeyness . I would probably keep the clean blade, but you know. everyone is a critic. you rock.
That was cool. I know I can't sculpt for shit. Scott, awhile back you mentioned a company that makes inks compatible with the old GW ink, I've been searching through your vids and haven't found it yet. Any chance you could let me know who it was that makes that stuff? Thanks for your time.
I like your videos. I'm not fond of modelling but i'm learning with your videos some good stuff and good painting lessons. Can we get a in the future a endgame Thor? Just kidding. Excuse mi english.
Did you happen to have this already or did you get really lucky hunting for one? I'm looking for some of the Marvel ones still because I didn't discover Knight Models until recently and most everything I've come across online is being sold as painted
I like it a lot but I think the lighting effect on Stormbreaker was not on point. Seems more like cracks that flowing electricity (which of course is far more difficult to achieve). I would love to see Iron Man since there are light effects (like Arc Reactor) that I would love to see.
Like the conversions but not a fan of the base. To me there's too much grass and there should be more transition in the lightning on the ground, maybe transition from blue to lighter blue to white in the middle? I'm still new so I'm most likely wrong.
Hmm. Scott I will tell you first that I couldn´t do it better. The Skill in you is strong. But that is not your best work, it looks kinda ... hmm ... you finished it just for finally finishing it. Still, this is really impressive.
Hi. I love your vids but this one didnt moisten my loins at all. The Shazaam and aquaman models were absolutely amazing. Didn't like the base at all and the scale armour and cape weren't up to your usual standards, IMHO. Not being a hater - still admire your work.
I like it, but the lightning somehow looks off to me. The whole model is painted in a realistic style, while the lightning looks cartoonish. Also (see 21:18) it looks somewhat rough, compared to the fine detailed looks of the rest of the miniature. Those lightnings should have been more white and more varied in thickness. (compare to this pic: geeksoncoffee.com/avengers-infinity-war-thors-new-weapon/)
Hey bro, just watched your "the video that no one asked for", I just wanted to know if you actually reached your goal? like did you actually quit and make this your full time job?
Uh, Mjolnir is pronounced "MEOW MEOW." I mean GAAHHH! Didn't you even WATCH the first 2 Thor movies?! JK, sounds right. Good job. When I was a kid, I pronounced "Muh-jewell-nir" or something like that. Yeah, not literate.
BooYah! I'm pretty certain you pronounced the name of Thor's hammer correctly, I would have just named it but I have no idea how it's spelt! I'm just a dude, that ..that is a man
Hi mr Scott do you know head too small?

Sorry about the reupload. Fixed some pretty annoying audio issues. There's still 1 issue and if you can find it you get 5 jonbucks.
I can only currently watch it in 320p? I am assuming (hopefully) so early to the show
I had watched the first one before it was pulled. Tried to send it to a friend and the share info was gone. I was real confused for a minute.
360p
@@thehobbyhermit Should be 1080p now.

I like it! Paint another! ⚒️ 🎨
You've inspired me to try my hand at a couple super heroes for my kids. Thanks, Scott!
Amazing Scott! Thanks for sharing this conversion!

Using the DC icons face in a marvel miniature. What a mad lad.
That does not stink! Yes, more conversions please.

I love the Source! I honestly think the head looks fairly proportionate, it’s just the exaggeration of the body and cape that shrink it.
even with the head swap size issue its a great mini imo, i especially love the thunder effect that was done
Bravo sir!
Use baking parchment paper for rolling and flattening your putty on.
To be totally fair to the head swap, this mini had some weird proportions to begin with.
10/10 Audio special effects
Just got my first few tubs of Epoxi Sculpt, thanks for the timely lesson!
Badass man! Been grinding through a bunch of your videos working on painting my first skin tons on a 3d print... funny enough Thor
I feel that since your base has the deepest recesses being blue it kind of makes it look like the axe has recessed blue parts as well. It looks like they're glowing blue cracks and not lightning. Not that's really that bad or anything.
oh god his head is so itty bitty.
edit: I think that its more a matter of the cape is so huge. The end result is still an excellent conversion.

11:33 was the soundeffect from Gittuar Hero on PS3!
You pronounciation of Mjölnir isn't too bad for an English native speaker, tbh.
Not a fan of the lightning myself, but the rest is great.
I wish Knight Models would still produce their Marvel model range. Can't comment on the quality of the game, but the models looked dope.
I like the sculpting of the hair.
Why did you use milliput for the axe and not a piece of plasticard?
I'm not sure, I've just seen a lot of professional sculptors take this route. Miliput is for sure a lot easier to shape, but also more brittle
@@Miniac To shape, yes. But to make a flat piece to cut out the axe? I made lots of tiny tools like hammers etc. for a diorama out of plasticard. If you shape something by sanding and cutting away I'd try plasticard the next time. I find it a lot easier and less messy to sand than milliput. Give it a try.

I wish the Marvel miniatures weren't out of print. I want to paint some superheroes, and I like the Marvel cast more than the DC one.
You can find them on ebay!
Anyone else think the face looks a bit more like Ego than Thor? Awesome conversion regardless!
Love the conversion. Can't say I like Non Metallic highlights. They make metallic paints, I'm going to buy metallic paints.
I don't think your head is too small, it's pretty good to me. Your Stormbreaker was great, just a little more meat on the hammer side maybe.
Whowever wins your Conversion I.W, Thor will be very lucky. Great Video Miniac.
Now you need a End Game Captain America with Shield and Mjolnir. :)
What is the best way to remove decals from plastic shields, file or some sand paper?

Its tiny head and hand man! with the powers of disproportions. jk looks sick non metallic is super cool
Clearly hat needs its own camera.
Cool, but yeah the proportions of the model make his head look a bit small :D
The MiniJunkie
, to me it looks like Kurt Russel, as Ego, cosplaying as Quiltman!
I love the Source, I just wish their location was a bit better.
Very central, but I have the worst traffic luck there.
Aw man I saw the first vid either way great job love your stuff maybe next time do ravin from teen titans or a villain?
Head looks good because it makes him look swole AF without going full heroscale.
I've never done miniatures, but it looks like something I'd like to try. Where do you buy them?
What pressure do you use for your ink in the airbrush?
God of thunder painted by another god
Where can I get that shelf that you have your paint on?

Why didn't you use plastic card for the axe-hammer head? Wouldn't it have been easier to handle?
Maybe try a resin printer some day, you might like it.

Mjuelner is pretty close. ;D Its "Mjölner" but you don't have the ö so its hard to translate the pronunciation, especially via writing.
where do you buy these miniatures
please paint IRONMAN
So, he's a little Thor? :)
Only after a good workout... :)
Highlight Red with ORANGE. Never add white or else you have the pink problem.

You'd think Superman would be a good match for Thor in swollness. Alas, I suppose that's what happens when you mix Marvel and DC.
head smol bod swol
Grass was a little much. Kind of hid the cracks you made in the base.
Not my favorite, but thumbs up for effort. Thanks for the content.
What brand is the miniature?
Size matters. 🤣
Maybe Thor the mini ran into the witch doctor from Beetlejuice and got his head srunk. 🤔
totally un related, but i feel you would like the song "Black Tongue - Fauxhammer" - shit hot painting btw

hey Scott where can i get marvel minis?? need some help bro 😂

Not my favourite model you’ve done,but still a good job
Give the video a thumbs up if 5:20 had you concerned about thickening up your weapon
Ironman next please
As a tribute
Any reason you didn't use on of the Heroclix heads already based on Chris Hemsworth? Legitimately just wondering
Well, I didn't think of it is probably the primary reason. Another reason is historically, heroclix miniatures don't have the greatest detail.
Love your work....but honestly I didn't see that poll. TH-cam is doing shit
