So a quick tip that iv found amazingly effective when using painters tape came from a friend of mine who’s a painter and decorator, once you have applied your tape to where you want it use your finger or a cue tip and slightly dampen the edge your painting up to which will form a seal on that edge then when you peel of the tape it will leave the cleanest line you will have ever seen. Merry Christmas hobby dudes 🎄
I purchased both the Wow Stick and the Color Cubes when you first recommended them, and they are the best hobby investments I've made (except for paints and brushes). The Wow Stick...it does what it's supposed to do, faster and better than a pin vise. I don't come from an artistic background, and have struggled with color schemes for 30 years. Art books gave references and taught color theory, and I have color wheels galore; but it just never seemed to stick if I used more than 2 colors. The Color Cubes are a dream come true for me! I can't recommend them enough to anyone who struggles with color schemes, or just wants to try something new. 100% worth the price! Thanks, Jon!
As someone going through this right now I really needed some hints. The fact that you brought up models really hit home, last year my kids got me models and I had to hold off on my projects to paint them so they could see them done.
"If you're a particular crazy person you can go all the way up to 2500 grit..." Me, Glancing over at my sanding/polishing stick set that goes up to 7000 grit: "Haha, yeah, that would be CRAZY."
And I got a pack that goes up to 12,000- haven't used it on models yet, it's in my jewelry tools, as sometimes I need to glass-finish resin/ plastic parts. Anyhoo- where did you get the cracked concrete Mr. Jon? I think you mentioned it on one hobby tools vid, but can't find it and it's not on your list o stuff.
The thing about investment in the models is soooo true. I was on a comp list once for models from a company, for some online work I was doing. Its cool and all, but it can also rob you of some of joys of the hobby like going out and getting that thing you want and getting it home to tear into it. It can also overwhelm you really quick as you see your workload increase by huge margins every time a box arrives.
As someone who would like to see this type of video become a recurring drop each year, it would be more helpful in early to mid-November when making a list before Black Friday sales. 2 weeks before Christmas makes it a little harder to act on.
Recommend the liquitex inks had never used them before but had seen plenty of vids on them and picked up the white one to try doing runes on a terminator librarian they made them so easy to do, put the white in first then mixed some plasma coil effect from army painter with em went over them and couldnt be happier with the effect, I have since picked 6 more to try different effects with.
As someone with a resin printer, the resin I like and isopropyl alcohol are always nice. I've been using the gorilla double sided tape and it's been great, you might want to try it.
I would normally agree with you 100 % about not needing any new models… however I just went through an apartment fire 2 months ago and lost all of my painted armies as well as my entire pile of shame….kinda depressing when I think about it!
Ya'll got some weird families if you think this video is too late for Christmas shopping 😅😅 The second busiest day of the year for shopping is Christmas Eve. December 25th for MOST Americans is considered "too late" but only because big box retailers aren't open that day. 😅😅 Hit up Walmart or Target on Christmas Eve. It's as crazy as Black Friday
Don't see why not. Heavy body is super thick. The viscosity of toothpaste so would definitely need to do a few more passes on the paper towel to wipe off excess
Question: Where can I find those color cubes with pictures? They are the only items not linked in the description and on Google I only manage to find ones without pictures. Any help is appreciated 💚
If GW was the only miniature company I'd have stop playing after they shut down whf in 8th edition (giving a f about their customers/community) - and they keep doing that to date...
The pop widget at 10:00 is the most brilliant hobby tip I have gotten in over a decade. I currently own one I got for a buck at 5 Below in the shape of a foot. :D It has 26 bubbles, and since it's silicon, almost no paint sticks at all. And I've found the best quartest of paints to try from a line to get a feel for them are a medium blue, a bright red, either a desaturated green or brown, and the white. This pretty much tends to give you the most and least opacity of the paints, lets you see the finish of the colors, and the quality of the white can often show the worst tier of a given paint line.
Hey, in case you're not familiar with Remy, here's a video by him that I think you'd enjoy: th-cam.com/video/_dr-CEjK0mM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=odn2wrmboNGEKo68 He does some wonderful MtG parodies. Happy holidays, brosef.
100% support the purchase of the cube. You can do the same thing 100s of other ways but but hot damn its a nice package all together and will dramatically improve your color decisions. If nothing else but a way to study how colors work together in a tangible manner.
Ninjon, I pledged for your Exemplar Wet Palette and there's no sign of it being shipped out to Europe and they won't reply to my messages. Can you get some answers for your European and UK supporters?
I know that it should be obvious, but you might want to mention when joking about isopropyl alcohol not tasting very good, that it is actually poisonous and can make you good blind...
You're thinking of methanol more so than IPA. IPA can't blind you from swallowing it. If someone is swallowing IPA I think they've got other issues beforehand.
I don't find the time every day to slay the gray. As such, from a single one-night painting session, I find myself with a dry pallet full of a myriad of paints from a myriad of brands. When I finally start getting ready for my next painting session, days or weeks later, and go to wash off that dry pallet, some paints rinse right off and others I really have to scrape at with a fingernail to get off. That paint adhesion across brands (and maybe individual colors) seems like something completely testable and intersting in a video. You should do that. You're welcome for the idea, and thanks in advance for making the video.
So far I’ve all the paints from vince’s set, green and yellow from rogue hobbies, heavy warm white from ben and 3 paints from your set.. warm brown, dark warm flesh, dark plum and plan on buying dark ivory. The one paint that’s sold out everywhere is Matt’s Dark bronze.
I asked my mom to get me the steel and gold NMM sets from AK. NMM is a personal goal I’ve set to myself as a new person to at least attempt and get good at.
Oh Look Ninjon shilling more crap. I swear nowadays these vidoes are more infomercials than hobby vids, this continues it will be about time to unsubscribe
When you were talking about the storage drawers, it reminded me of a joke: A psychiatric patient escaped from the asylum and ran into the local town. He broke into a woman's house while she was in the shower and 'had his wicked way with her' before running off again. The next day, the local newspaper headline read "Nut Screws Washer And Bolts"

Need y'all to release these videos a month earlier when I'm trying to put a list together haha
Second that!
Exactly
A week or 2 before black friday imo
Amen

Felt like I was in the Big Bang there….got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, NEED IT!
I hope Daryl is doing well this holiday season. I feel like it's been a while since we've seen him around.

Slay the grey! I have officially base coated everything I have. I have no grey. Getting ready for winter painting.
These unwarranted jabs at Vince that slips out every now and then is absolutely hilarious!

I don't see anyone pointing out the stealth update to the Vizzik Golden Demon entry at 4:53. Cant wait to see the formal update vid!
That opening shot looks like my hobby desk at all times, not just the holidays. 🥲
I swear I could hear my wallet cry out "Dear God no!" when I clicked on this.
Walmart carries a budget LED desk lamp that has warm, 'neutral' and cool settings. 20ish bucks and has battery if you want to travel with it.
Happy Holidays!

My BIGGEST go-to recommend is brushes! I will never turn down a nice brush
That game envy light is just way too good of a deal and it's upsetting that I bought the redgrass games light before the game envy one came out :/
Do not sleep on the glass and the lamp
paint retarter is neat as well
Picked up his set for the red grey skin tone. By far in my top 10 paints. Amazing skin tone

15:36 My current favorite is Muddy Ground and shows Desert Sand. :) Wait a minute....
1:00 dude be honest, Miniac also revealed why models as gifts aren’t the best, business write off.😅
😔 I've never had enough line items to justify itemizing my taxes.
Recommend the liquitex inks had never used them before but had seen plenty of vids on them and picked up the white one to try doing runes on a terminator librarian they made them so easy to do, put the white in first then mixed some plasma coil effect from army painter with em went over them and couldnt be happier with the effect, I have since picked 6 more to try different effects with.

If this is another Temu ad, I am gonna lose my shiz!!! 😂
Gotta say it: Elfjon!
Elfton John! You missed it.
I would normally agree with you 100 % about not needing any new models… however I just went through an apartment fire 2 months ago and lost all of my painted armies as well as my entire pile of shame….kinda depressing when I think about it!
I've asked for a set of villainy inks, though maybe I'll add an ask for some basing texture paste
Love your content, big fan! I must admit, however, I miss the outtakes at the end of your videos!
plastic garage sale signs from department stores are a good inexpensive plastic, about $2 for a 9x13 sheet
Thanks!
We need more color cube videos!!!
Ohhh, updates on the scaven lord ! Misa like dat !
Ya'll got some weird families if you think this video is too late for Christmas shopping 😅😅

god hand has the best sanding sponge
Love the hat
Would the tube of heavy body Titanium White paint work well for dry brushing (slap chop)?
Don't see why not. Heavy body is super thick. The viscosity of toothpaste so would definitely need to do a few more passes on the paper towel to wipe off excess
Jon, are we ever going to see those massive 3d printed terrain painted or what?
Question: Where can I find those color cubes with pictures? They are the only items not linked in the description and on Google I only manage to find ones without pictures. Any help is appreciated 💚
Where’s the link to the color cube?
Nice hat!
What hobby light do you use Ninjon?
Dude where was this episode like 2 weeks ago everyone in my family wanted Christmas gift ideas for me and I had none!!! Maybe it isn't too late
I needed this video a month ago when my family asked me what I wanted. Two weeks before Christmas is way too close..
Dang, that's a nice hat.
I may or may not possess 4 boxes of skulls.
Where is Daryl???
He’s out Christmas shopping.
@@PrimalGemini85for cigarettes and milk...
Who you callin' Paint Licker, Paint Licker?
You wear that hat Jon!
Did you seriously just make a video telling me to buy myself some tape for Christmas???
Damn, you're right...
I see you ninja man
how many times have wee seen this video before?
Woah I just saw I was not subscribed, I know I was subscribed before. What's the deal TH-cam gremlins?
As the cheap brother in law I feel called out.
Can you please wear jingling bells in every video?
im just going to save this video and send it to the like -5 people who want to buy me holiday stuff
I asked for a vortex mixer, cause shaking paint bottles is making my carpal tunnel so much worse.
#1 Deodorant!
I am NOT a paint licker, how DARE you!?
Ok. Plicker.
Am I blind or are the color cubes not in the description
Cool 👍
Unchained!
A bit late - my wifes already finished the Christmas present shopping
If GW was the only miniature company I'd have stop playing after they shut down whf in 8th edition (giving a f about their customers/community) - and they keep doing that to date...
I like my pin vice how I like my women, with lots of extra bits
Oh hi. 2005 much?
Jon coming for my wallet again
Rather a pointless video 12 days before christmas.
yeah bit of a nothing burger
Not everyone goes Christmas shopping months before Christmas 😅😅😅
The busiest shopping day in America after Black Friday is Christmas Eve
❤
Have a Himbo Jimbo Chrimbo!

This would've been a great video 3 to 4 weeks ago. Now it's just to late to really mean anything for gift lists
Release 1 minute ago.
Fuck im early 😂
Brother this is like a month late
Ups
100% support the purchase of the cube. You can do the same thing 100s of other ways but but hot damn its a nice package all together and will dramatically improve your color decisions. If nothing else but a way to study how colors work together in a tangible manner.
I cant find it! is there a amazon URL? :)
@valentinjakob1686 no the lady that invented it has her own site. Just Google
"Color Cube by Sarah Renae Clark"
Ninjon, I pledged for your Exemplar Wet Palette and there's no sign of it being shipped out to Europe and they won't reply to my messages. Can you get some answers for your European and UK supporters?
I know that it should be obvious, but you might want to mention when joking about isopropyl alcohol not tasting very good, that it is actually poisonous and can make you good blind...
Might also be natural selection at some point
You're thinking of methanol more so than IPA. IPA can't blind you from swallowing it.
If someone is swallowing IPA I think they've got other issues beforehand.
Yeah natural selection. Let's hope everyone here is smart enough yo not drink iso.
@@eoinmcorks Ahh...You are correct sir. Methanol not Isopropyl. My bad. Drinking Isopropyl alcohol is still wrong bad fun LOL
Love a good blind

i am 2 minutes into this video and the jingeling man....that gets me
hearing the bells on the hat jingle the entire time is slowly driving me insane lmao
you mean next hollyday season cause ur late.
I asked my mom to get me the steel and gold NMM sets from AK. NMM is a personal goal I’ve set to myself as a new person to at least attempt and get good at.
"More models" hahauahauhauahauajauahauahuaua 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love your content, but this is far too late.
the bells sound really annoying
