Regarding UHU: It is really important to pick the UHU with solvent and NOT the "solvent free" one as only the UHU with solvent will build the strings that you want!
Can confirm. I bought the normal kind and got sent the solvent free by mistake and it does NOT do the fun stuff.
Yep!
Omg I've always wondered why people love UHU so much when it has just never worked out for me. Thank you a ton for this comment
And everyone thought it was the Dew that kept Jon loopy lol
Where can I get the one with solvent? Literally every version I see is solvent free.
Great tips!
One I haven’t seen is the “yoga knee pad.” It’s a small 24”x10”x5/8” thick yoga mat I put on the table and it keeps my elbows from getting sore on the hard table after hours of painting. Give it a shot :)
speaking of using your wife's yoga gear ;) is grabbing her scented oil mister. The soggy plume while you're supergluing fiddly parts will activate the curing process faster when you hold the figure over it. Bonus lavender posh stink for painting purples.
I have one of the large desk sized mousemats which achieves the same thing, also get a craft mat to protect surfaces from scalpels :)
Foam nail files are the end of the sanding conversation (ok sanding sticks too), if you let the glob of Museum Wax sit out for 5-10 minutes before use it will leave less residue. You can add paint to the UHU glue before using it if you want translucent slime or blood. Michaels Crafts and Amazon carry Golden Paints, Squidmar tested them recently.
😅
As someone that started with traditional art and then got into the hobby, it always confuses me out for a second to hear golden products described as cheap. Then i remember how absurd most miniature paint is ppv.
As someone that works in the industrial coatings world I'm always amazed at how expensive mini paint is. $5/.4oz? That's $1,500 for a gallon of paint! I've worked with paints that are designed to withstand ongoing fission or submerged permanently in human waste that cost less.
@@philiptetherow71 I can’t at all comment on the veracity of this but I’ve heard from people that the reason mini paints can be so expensive is because they need to be very highly pigmented to get good saturation and coverage over quite small areas, as well as not clog up detail. Not sure what the margins for mini paints are but I have to imagine there’s some truth to that statement since there are so many competing mini paint companies and all their prices are relatively similar per oz.
This I always just use my art paints and they are sooo much cheaper.
where did you get the plastic containers from?
@@jaiar12 theres a very little truth to that, but it really only comes down to volume and marketing.
I also use Golden titan buff for zenithal highlights. It’s a great starting point if you want your lighting to appear a little bit richer and warmer. The only thing I would add is that it tends to dry quite glossy, so I always add a little bit of matte varnish to it.
Great vid as always! I really need to pick up some Uhu glue.
I've used Loctite Fun-Tac for holding models to handles or paint sticks to spray primer. As long as you keep it's packaging and put it back under the plastic film it stays useable for a long time.
I've used Museum Wax for years in building dolls houses but never thought of it for minis. Thanks :)
As a huge fan of the old Rogue Trader, 2nd/3rd Ed models, I swear by Gel Gorilla Glue. Combined with a hand drill, some paper clips, and sprue cutters, it creates models that will hold up on the battlefield!
You can also use mixed herbs for bases! The terrain tutor uses them for his burma build and it looks great for jungle ground cover! I've also found desert tan Vallejo primer is a pretty good match for wraithbone as well!
Spicy tip!
good tips, I'll be looking into that primer soon:D
Thanks for the tip about Vallejo Desert Tan - I'm finding it impossible to get Golden Titan Buff here in the UK (except at an extortionate price)
Enjoyed the video. I just wanted to mention Gorilla Glue also packages their gel glue in a fine tip applicator bottle. You just squeeze the two levers on the sides to get the glue out. No tapping the glue bottle. It also provides even more precise application of the glue.
Can confirm. This is in my opinion the best version of gorilla glue to get.
I feel like that's a good benchmark of when people start exploring the hobby more, using multiple companies to make something amazing instead of sticking to just one! Keep being awesome Ninjon!
Dude, you are rapidly becoming me favorite youtuber. And that Wow Stick is something I've been wanting for ever.
can confirm the wow stick is legit. Saw that on kickstarter and got one myself. It's literally perfect for hobby modeling. It's soooooo much better than using a dremel, pin vise, or cordless dril. Dremels are waaaaaay too high rpm and melt plastic, pin vise is slow and tedious, and cordless drills are way too big for anything except very large resin models.
My question is the wowstick low speed high torq or high seepd low torq!!! he described it as both!?
@@davemonster2 low speed. That's what makes it work so well.
There are these little freshness packets you get in some products(like beef jerky) that have small clay beads instead of the usual silicon beads. They make for a great cobblestone effect for bases. Just drip glue into the base, add the clay beads, fill the gaps, and paint/add touches.
I love that Gorilla Glue Gel! From my experience it is one of the only glues (other than an epoxy) that actually holds metal and pewter minis together. I'm glad that you called this one out.
The gorilla (or loctite) gel glues are excellent for both gluing and for filling in gaps on metal models, especially with something to tidy up after them like the make up applicator your showed off. Been using that for years.
Me as well, been the only super glue I've used for everything for at least 6 year
My question is the wowstick low speed high torq or high seepd low torq!!!
Are Gorilla and Loctite any different than generic gel super glue?
I literally only use gel super glue. Liquid is just so hard to control and I often end up with more glue on my fingers than on the intended model
@@davemonster2 Low speed high torque.
I think your video on how to get back into painting has actually helped me. Since watching it, I got more paint on my eliminators, finished building my invictor tactical warsuit, he is all primed, has lots of dark angels bits, and I started painting him too. Taking it easy, no rush, but I am getting back into it and having fun. The new space marine buffs ought to make it fun to play as well.
I think that’s 90% of it man it needs to be fun. I don’t know about you but I’m a bit of a perfectionist and nothing ruins my drive and enjoyment of painting more than comparing my models to other peoples and Obsessing over every little mistake I make
8:23 On metal I used JB Weld in conjunction with pins. Drill hole for pins, scuff up touch areas, mix up the JB Weld, put some in pin holes, put in pin, smear a little more on, stick together. If if needs to be held I had one of those weighted things with the alligator clip arms. Hold it in position until it sets. Takes awhile, but you will not get those pieces apart.
Hey Jon, thanks for sharing more fantastic hobby tips. Having returned to painting minis over the last couple of years through the boardgaming hobby, I'm always keen to discover tips and tricks to make things simpler and easier and really appreciate videos like this that not only help make existing things easier but also inspire to try new stuff not yet considered. Thanks for all your efforts and great videos! Keep 'em coming ❤️🤗
Really Useful Boxes are my go-to for hobby storage. In my opinion they're the best storage boxes out there, very strong and stackable. I use them for terrain, painting/modelling supplies, and for larger miniatures. Pick up some pluck foam online and you've got a great box for keeping your tanks or huge gribbly bugs safe.
Jon! yet another banger! I love when you put these out because there’s always at least one thing that literally changes the painting game for me. Last time it was So Flat acrylics which are my bread and butter now. And I’m thinking the wow stick might be the new game changer. I already have titan buff but have never used it the way you suggest. So now I’m gonna go through a heck of a lot more of it I guess 😂
Love the gorilla super glue too. I prefer the blue cap because it flows more than the green cap. Great tip with the coconut fiber! That looks really nice for a forest scene.
Thanks for the museum wax tip, that orange rack that comes with the red grass holders is brilliant at first but quickly loses tack after a dozen or so uses
The 90 degrees sides of the really useful boxes make them my favorite storage bins.
Quick tip about the Golden High flow. I've found when doing a zenithal highlight with the Titan Buff the black shadows to be too dark, especially when doing lighter warmer colours. As a fix to this, I use Sepia instead of black. Now my shadows look WAY better, softer and more natural.
Second this!
Thank you for this very educative video!
Being in the hobbies for years but still learning the new ways!
I recently picked up the so flat golden paint pots. I love them and am considering replacing all of my army painted paints with them. All because of your videos to try something new. Thanks man.
Nice recommendations. Definitely interested in the pen drill. Pinning metal models is a chore. Anything to ease that up would be nice.
Neat stuff! I just ordered the drill, museum wax, UHU, and coconut husk fibers. I look forward to stepping up my game!
Another great advise video Jon! You've been instrumental in giving me so many valuable ideas to elevate my creativity. Thank you once again, you're awesome!👍 Take care.
Love your form, your content, and your quality feedback in these kind of videos especially. Thanks my dude, keep on keeping on.
I use sawdust and small rocks(sand or gravel) on the basing, works very well and is very cheap. Gotta try your tips though, thanks for the amazing video!
Love these types of videos. Really helps find new and fun tools to expand what I can do
Thanks for this video Jon! Ordered a bunch of stuff. Can't wait to try out the drill (I hate manual pin vises) and coconut fibers.
For people in the UK, this week (15th April 2022) Lidl supermarket have rolls of 3M double sided 19mm x 4m tape in. I can't remember how much I paid, but it wasn't much.
12:38 Ninjon says "appeciate". Love the vids dude! Keep them coming
Thank you so much for your time and effort in these videos. They really help fuel my fire for my hobbies! 🔥
Great video ! The double sided sticky tape was a game changer for me. I made several of my own holders with that stuff.
Really useful info. My preferred glue for metal miniatures with pinning is JB Weld Original Cold Weld Formula; this stuff once cured is the strongest I've encountered. The only downside is the long cure time requiring parts to be kept in a stable position until fully cured, which isn't ideal if one is in a hurry.
Some tools I found super useful. I enjoy the citadel paint handles, I just love the feel of it in my hands. They only thing they are super light, but the handle was hollow so I filled it with some small rocks. The added weight really helps when holding (helps dampen the shakes I get). Other benefit is the extra weight makes it harder to tip over when it is down on the table. Small wooden sticks with alligator clips are great I use them to hold small parts when spraying them. Super sharp fine nippers to clip parts. Super fine TAMIYA Photo-Etched Craft Saw. These rock they are .1 mm thick. They make a exacto look super thick. Super great to cut space marine joints apart to repose them. 1 and 2 mm wide chisels. I use them to trim emblems of marine, no longer are the cool looking sculpts are ultra marines.
Adding weight to the handle increases the likelihood of the model being held breaking if and when it’s eventually dropped so that’s why it’s not normally recommended to add weight
@@TheEnd The GW handle tends unclip from the base easily. So far I have not had had on brake when I have dropped it, but it does go flying. Also the weight seems to give it a weeble wobbles like effect that helps it not to tip over as easy from small bumps. Before the weight they would tip over just looking at them, so I'm willing to take the chance with it for now. I have not found any other handle that have that thin neck like them and it just fits my hands so well.
@@mortisangelica if the handle works for you that’s great I’m happy for you I know some people are critical of those handles but I just wanted to warn you that with the added weight comes added force to the model if it’s dropped
I ❤the wow stick. As a necromunda player who loves kitbashing GW terrain the wowstick has made my life so much easier. Between it and a hobby saw tiles are a non issue to cut apart. Seriously this is the only place I have heard about it and am so glad I did.
This video popped up on my feed again and I have to say I bought one of the pen drills after watching this when it was posted, and it was one of the best hobby purchases I've ever made!
Gorilla Glue gel was a total game changer for me. I paint larger scale GK's as well as minis, had tried a hundred different brands of glue, and gorilla glue gel is just in a different league. Once it sets, even on a large cast resin kit, the resin will snap before the glue will let go.
Handy hint, for a bit more precision you can always just unscrew the lid and dip a toothpick or q-tip in it to apply it to only the area you need.
I really appreciate you often including footage of you knocking stuff over on accident. The comedic value is good, but it also makes your videos SO relatable.
UHU is my hero! Adding inks to get really cool slime and viscera effects is super easy too!
My mum is OBSESSED with those really useful boxes, I end up with SO MANY! I use them with a few air holes as a vet/show box for my snakes
Welche to 2022, where you have to sit through a bunch of TH-cam adds, to watch a guy posting affiliate links while adding even more adds in the video. What a time to be alive!
9:00 any gel super glue works well I've found, you can also get it in smaller metal tubes that are easier to squeeze.
Got the drill a couple months ago. Game changer! Love it!
Sanding blocks are such an awesome hidden gem tool for the hobby. I love them and use them regularly.
Any superglue and a miniscule ball of green stuff works every time for me, often with a stronger hold as it fills little crevices
Thanks for tips mate. Ordered the Wow on your advice and I'll be picking up some of the gorilla gel too for my infinity models. Keep up the great work!
4:33
Like a cowboy and his big iron, that was a sick, totally intentional, flourish
loctite super glue gel also works great because it has special things on the side to help you squeeze it out as well as a mich finer tip that works better for miniatures specifically. you won't have to smack the bottle either, however it comes with slightly less glue, but I think it's worth it.
so glad i found this channel. gonna have a 500 page notebook filled with tips/tricks and product suggestions before I even have a mini and paints lol.
I've been using 3M foam tape for years...it works great; I use UHU glue pens for my cardstock models; UGU glue mixed with transparent red with a touch of Vallejo Smoke makes perfect blood; we use Gorilla Super Glue at work as permanent thread locker for stuff that we never intend to take apart
I use rubber-toughened super glue for metal minis. It dries with a little bit of flex to it, the bond is crazy-strong, and it has a little hold to it right out of the bottle, which can be clutch when a piece wiggles or whatever and you need to reposition it. Great for gap filling, too.
Really Useful Boxes are fantastic!! My job got rid of 20 odd so I managed to take them home for my minis!
I use the Sterilite Stack and Carry system for most of my minis. They have the same dimensions as the Really Useful Stuff bin with the benefit of interlocking stickability, a slightly deeper height and you get 2 bins in a pack. 10.62 x 14.37 x 3.75 inches per layer. I have stacks as tall as 3 and 4 tiers for my various WHQ collections.
That being said, I am definitely picking up one of the RUS bins in the 9 Liter size as it will/should still stack with my Sterlite system but has a depth of 6" for my extra tall guys such as banner bearers.
Yup! Golden high flow are the my favorite go to out of the bottle. You have to mix directly tho, shaking will not always do with their hiflow product line. It is amazing when it does what it is supposed to, but if you leave on the shelf too long after opening you'll have some very serious separation (even if it looks mixed, it's usually not). All that said... In acrylic paints, Golden is as good as it gets.
I love the coconut fiber for bases! That stuff is great!
I just purchased the wowstick myself. I love it. A lot easier to control. Prior to this I was using a dermal and I have to say the wowstick was a great purchase.
Nice video. I'm already using some of those things (like the Gorilla CA gell - I end up fixing my friends' Infinity models for them). I'm excited to try the Museum Wax and other products, and I'm also a fan of Infinity's JSA.
Jon! About those sanding blocks, something I’ve been using them for for years is when they get a little scruffy and aren’t really good for sanding anymore, they make excellent pin cushions for drill bits and hobby blades so you can put them down mid use without fear of them rolling away.
Had no idea the wowstick was a kickstarter project. Found it, and bought it, on amazon a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it. Been using it to pin a bunch of metal miniatures without issue.
A big thanks for recommending the boxes. I was looking for boxes like these but couldn't decide which brand I trust. I just got 5 of the 4l, 5 of the 9l ones and they fit perfectly on my old IKEA Billy shelves and now I want ten more! Most useful boxes I can imagine.
Bought the Wow Stick a couple of weeks ago. Absolutely love it!
I just ordered a wowstick, and need to oder a painting handle or two. Thanks for the tips!
The wow stick looks very useful, however i always have a hard time drilling out the barrels of the guns. Great list in general though and I'm thankful that you showed us all these things.
I've used a new exacto blade and spun it around a few times
THANK. YOU. Super valuable tricks and thank you again for sharing mister.
Great video. I’m getting back into Warhammer building and painting with my 11 year old son and I’m always looking for tips and tools to make our hobbying easier and less frustrating. Ordering a bunch of this stuff asap!
Never seen that Museum Wax before! Great tricks as always 👍
I initially avoided the channel due to the clickbait titles, but I'm glad i gave it a chance. I've been hooked on your vids and TUP for the past week or so. The amount of effort you put into your videos really shows. Anyway, thanks for all the lessons and entertainment.
Wish I'd have had resources like this back when I was building models and painting figures as a kid decades ago. Very enjoyable video.
Thanks for the recommendations... a few I wasn't aware of but I'll see if I can get it in Australia. Thanks Jon!
Just ordered the wow stick drill. Thanks!
I just picked up a wowstick, too! Looks pretty sick! Thanks for the heads up, Jon!
All great choices! I was unaware of most. The wow stick and coconut fibers and also the uhu glue are all on their way from Amazon for under 20 dollars. Good stuff.
After you made a video about the You FU mini air compressor, I bought one and absolutely love it... So after this, I have a shopping list. 😁
1: Use my dremel
2: yarp, useful
3: Interesting
4: Stackable plastic tubes are great.
5: Coconut fibre for hedges, yarp. Bolt Actionn loves them.
6: Super glue zip kicker also good. Gel glue hard to get sometimes.
The Wow stick is a great addition! I use a hat pin and mark a ‘divot’ before I drill.
Really Useful Boxes are a tad expensive for what they do (especially when you factor in import fees), but I LOVE the fact that you can now get them WITH the magnetic sheet on the bottom.
Golden paits are amazing. The light naphtol red is great for red lenses!
*"quake hole" museum tack works better than regular blue or yellow tack.* It's my go to, because it even works for models or parts lacking flat places to hold them and it's handy to be able to stick a model upside down.
Biggest tip for that: work it a little 1st, then apply to the holder, stick the model to it last. I can hold it upside down and shake with most models and they stay put.
If you try to stick it to the model then the holder, it won't get enough pressure and area spread to stay on the holder, so will both risk falling off and risk breaking some models.
Lots of great helper products. I just got your dry brushing set. Put my makeup brushes away. The kit works great!
We have been blessed by more precious doggo footage! 🥰
Have you ever thought about painting a model with White 2.0, black 3.0 etc.? Basically the darkest of dark and lightest of light paint? I was thinking about buying them for things and was curious if I could ever use those in my mini painting adventures.
Been using titan buff for like a year. Glad to see someone else singing the praises of golden fluid acrylics
One thing about the sanding blocks, is that quality matters. It is almost always worth it to get the ones that have the denser sponge in the middle. They cost about 3x as much as the standard ones you get at Walmart, but they will be wet/dry and reusable.
The reason the blocks fail is that the sanding surface bends, causing breaks which catch and tear. Think of it like a lobster tail. When straight out, you can run a sharp object along the tail smoothly. Curl the tail and a sharp object will catch the gaps in between plates.
A dense sponge won't flex much, so the sandpaper surface won't catch and tear. The easiest sanding block to tear is the rectangular one with the chisel edge. That thin edge is VERY flexible, which makes it more prone to ripping. A trick to preserve the chisel edge sanding blocks is to fold a small sheet of sandpaper around the wedge side before use. The sheet stiffens the edge and acts as a barrier if the edge bends. It will probably still have cracks form, but they won't be caught and ripped.
I have a 80/120 grit dual from 3M(both sides are pinkish red, the middle is yellow) and I've used it for about 10 years.
Thank you for recommending the Museum Wax!
Blue Stuff + Milliput for cheaply cloning molded bases and small accessories. Once I got the hang of it, I was even cloning some out-of-print rogue trader era models.
Great tips! 😃 Thank you so much, I will be picking up multiple things from this list I don't own yet 😃
Thanks for this video. It's extremely helpful. You forgot the mug on your desk though. It can be used as a water pot which costs about 20 bucks if you use the gw one :-D
Ninjon, my dad had responsebility for storage of tools in a big company a lot of years ago. Every glue (except plastic glue that was based on acetone) where stored in a fridge, cause it made it not stiffen or clog. Just a tip! And i t hink it will help wth the gorilla as well.
I just use Loctite, as my dad had a loctite fridge at work, and all kinds where stored cold.
I never have this issue, but i hear everyone else do.
Hope it helps :)
I agree. I store my glue in the freezer. It won't freeze and I tape around the lid to try sealing it. Low humidity keeps it from setting. Bring to room temp before using.
In addition to the Gorilla Gel Glue, they make a yellow top bottle that has a small brush in it. Also, LocTite has their gel version which is primarily what I use since they sell a 4 pack (2 gel, 2 regular) at Sams Club for ~$10 which is cheaper than pretty much any other store.
Thanks for makeing this list, i build model aircraft, ships and tanks and because of your list i got a wow pen and its brilliant
That drill was a insta buy for me. Thanks so much!! 😎❤️
I get a small plastic bottle cap and use that to mix uhu with variious paints to create different coloured stringy goop. Tesseract glow is great for making toxic slime!
Outstanding video! Perhaps one of the best hobby-related vids on youtube.
Really Useful Boxes are really useful! It’s so good to see another aficionado! Another thing to check out to temporarily stick things to things is butyl. Got that one from Adam Savage… not personally… I mean… from a video…
For those in Australia, gorilla glue gel can be hard to find at times. If you can't find it - get Loctite Super Glue Gel. Just as good, just as awesome :)
