      Back in the 90s THIS is how I painted ALL of my Gundam Models; including all 5 from the Heavy Waltz series. I ALWAYS wondered why all the pro channels I’ve seen always cut the pieces out first?!?!

    This is pretty common in the rest of the modeling world, especially Gundam. However, you don't do the entire painting on the sprue, you only do your primer and then base coats. Then you assemble, clean up any spurs and touch-ups, then do your top coat and detailing. This is more important on mecha and other large models because they have a lot of recessed spaces, like up a gundams girdle, and between the joints easily gets missed when painting since alot of the models are poseable, you'd have to rotate the joints to get the entirety of paint into them, which is a hassle if you are spray painting. Painting solid models and miniatures on a sprue isn't necessary because they aren't poseable.

    This is how I painted my skeleton arms for death. All the sheilds, weapons arms and bone arms. They were just too small and fidely. And since I had like 3 sets I was doing it helped me do them in batches. I did paint a lot of parts I didnt use, but it was still faster than doing the tradtional way.

    Painting on the sprue is really good. It makes painting the usual hard-to-reach areas of a model really easy e.g. behind cloaks, the backs of bolters etc. I'm currently building some Tyranid warriors this way which is much better. I dry-fitted the first one to see how I was going to pose it, but painting it was a mess. Painting the others on the sprue is more effective. I can undercoat with a rattle-can evenly more easily when they're on the sprue

      ​​​@@MiniatureHobbyist Take ownership for your clickbait. It's not people being young, it's you using dishonest means to promote your content.
      This is straightforwardly a terrible way to paint miniatures in the conventional sense of having a finished model. It's something that people who are new or not confident in their skills do, and is an extreme form of excessive subassemblies. The end result is disappointing, because the finished model is covered in mould lines, patchy layers from sprue joins and plastic glue, and fails as a cohesive piece. Suggesting that people should make their models this way, even for the purpose of catching views, is a recipe for burning people on miniature painting. It feels bad to put a load of work into a model and have it just look terrible at the end of the process.
      Preparation and assembly are important parts of the model painting process. Neglecting them delivers subpar results, even for the greatest painter. People should not be encouraged to waste both time and money on a method that is fundamentally terrible. All that will do is make newer and less skilled modellers and painters give up in frustration.

    Airbrushing is easy enough but get used to stripping it down and cleaning it frequently or it will just clog up, but it's great to use just a little learning curve to get how much pressure to put on the trigger I found. Fantastic for priming as it keeps the detail!

    I like this method and do it all the time, but I try to find the least visible sprue connection for each piece, then clip all other points first, clean mold lines etc, leaving just the one spot where the part is still attached to the sprue. This way, when you're done painting, there's only one spot to clip and clean.

    the only reccomendation i would give you for the airbrush is that using white ink through it to do a zenithal is super difficult as a begginner as the white is so speckly and difficult to use. for speeding up your slapchopping i would reccomend priming black and then zenithaling like a warm light grey (stonewall grey, grey seer) and then dry brushing white other them.
    also try contrast paints through them :)

    Well been painting some Wood Elves with capes and I can see where painting the majority of the miniature while it is on a sprue can make for getting those capes and the rest of the body a lot easier. Though since I got these miniatures second hand that was not an option. Though if I was going to paint on the sprue I would clip some to the miniature so that there is enough to hold it is place. I do remember that the fast army that I ever painted was my Eldar for 40K Epic. Just take the Guardians out and spray them black while still on the sprue turn it around and spray the other side. Clip them off and paint their helmets.
