[@danielbennett2405]

Can you comment on what type of thinner you used? Close caption says "Animal thinner" does that mean enamel thinner for oil? I assume acrylic thinner wont work for the oil.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Odorless Thinners, that's the name of the Thinners, and yes they are oil or enamel thinners

[@Pihnes]

Finally somebody who's painting the inner parts of the plasma "coil" brighter than the outer ones. Thank you !

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

That's how you do it!

[@FenrirFrostborn]

ive always thought the core should be brighter and the outer coils are what cools it enough to keep it from exploding, same with volkite. noone else seemed to think so.

[@SonsOfLorgar]

​@@FenrirFrostborn most gamers has no grasp of thermodynamic physics 😆

[@Mornomgir]

been annoying the shit out of me for decades. The coil is the houseing the bright shit should be in the middle/inside! So this is deffo major good.

[@hiccupthegreat1987]

Ikr, it makes so much more sense this way! (I mean there is a slight explanation of you want to paint the outer ones brighter but its way more convoluted and raises more questions than it answers)

[@AronFigaro]

Commenters note: this method also works if you want to paint red plasma, green plasma, or whatever other color your plasma wants to be. Basecoat the midtone, drybrush dark, then wash with the highlight color.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

100%

[@beathitus]

what is a good acrylic white wash ?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

None, but if you are determined to use acrylics, buy a good quality artist white ink. Liquitex or Daler Rowney FW are my favourite ones

[@HispAnakin42]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures would thinned white paint work? The water would make it seep into the recesses.

[@PallaDrak]

But he basecoated the lightest, then dry brushed midtone, then drybrushed midtone before wash? Howd you mean basecoat the midtone?

[@azlantlion110]

I love this because you are painting coils in reverse of other tutorials. Others treat the top of the coils as the brightest part, whereas you treat it as the dullest part, with the bottom being the light source. It looks amazing.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks

[@alexthehopeless3778]

It makes sense tho, the coils are supposed to be hotter on the inside, idk why others are painting it differently

[@chrisrezende]

@@alexthehopeless3778 the confusion is because the rule of thumb of miniature painting has always been using brighter colors on the outside to simulate highlights. However, as you stated, it doensn't make any sense and therefore doesn't work well with energy weapons and other heat effects (such as flames).

[@DeathsOrigin]

Best painting channel on youtube. The intro comedy, the accent, the friendly demeanor, the pure knowledge and accessibility. I rate Juan Hidalgo 11/10. Plus, I said hello to him on Facebook one time and he responded. It was like being waved at by a celebrity. I rate Juan Hildalgo 12/10
EDIT: The background music is soothing to the soul. I rate Juan Hildalgo 13/10

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

I rate your comment a 14/10

[@andresmoonero5634]

I’ve watched like 6 plasma tutorials trying to find something effective and simple. This was it! Thanks!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Happy to help

[@NerdySatyr]

Man these last 3 videos have been absolutely incredible!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks ☺️

[@justeric1107]

This is by far the best plasma effect I've seen on TH-cam, phenomenal work!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks 😘

[@CrimsonTemplar2]

That intro was fantastic. Great video.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks ☺️

[@williamculverwell7738]

Yes this is amazing! I’ve been trying to find a simple plasma recipe for ages now, can’t wait to try this

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Happy to help

[@davidurquiamedina3972]

Esta serie es oro puro, Juan. Y gran opening 🤣

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Gracias 😄

[@nocturnenoble2468]

Thank you for continuing to share your knowledge and passion, you're an inspiration.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks 😘

[@starnostras]

Love that you showed the fix with thinning any oil mistakes. Excellent content. Thank-you.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Happy to help 😘

[@Retrosicotte]

This is going to change the game for some of my stuff, I've stripped an old model already because the plasma effect being bad ruined it, and even the redo I was only somewhat okay with. Maybe I can try the oil step on its own to brighten it up first, since the old metal infantry ones "ribs" are sooo shallow. Thanks very much!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Happy to help

[@SpontaneousSquiggle]

That is a satisfying 7mins 44 indeed. That final pop of white always feels so good.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks ☺️

[@LincolnTank-StillOnTheSprue]

Mind blown!!!!!!! Absolutely fantastic tutorial Juan, gracias😄

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

😘

[@ashbevilacqua7559]

This guide was awesome! Thank you so much for this video, I will apply this effect from now on.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Happy to help

[@mirage809]

That plasma looks great! More interesting to me is that OSL however. OSL is a technique that I've always shied away from, but this is looking very approachable and easy to do.
Also, I got those kind of brushes! They're awesome! I use the bigger ones to get tanks done very quickly.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Yeah they are great, fantastic tools

[@RockSplitter]

I was about to go to the grocery store. This takes priority.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Good choice

[@oldwannab8845]

Fantastic work, Juan! So little effort, such a beautiful result! 11/10!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks

[@RVBFan182]

This might be my favourite recipe for plasma coils. Looks awesome. Thanks for sharing!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks for watching!

[@JackDespero]

I trust your advices because you lick your brushes. Only people who lick their brushes know how to paint.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

It's true

[@chucklamb3496]

Thank you Juan, great subject

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks

[@cogboy3587]

Very good tutorial, very helpful, easy to follow with great results! Probably some of the best plasma I have every painted, really made the Plasma mortar on my Thanatar look amazing.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks mate 😘

[@ThimblewolfArt]

I've never seen glow affects done this way. It does seem very easy. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Happy to help 😘

[@chrisrezende]

Thanks for the fantastic tutorial! Definitely one of the best plasma effects I've ever seen (and I've been seeing A LOT of them for many many years). I'll look into your channel now to see if I can find a tutorial on who to paint flames. Cheers!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Of course I have one! It's included into The Avatar video

[@gearjacky]

Dude, you might have the best, most straight forward painting tutorials 👌🏼👌🏼
Great work! I’m absolutely using this recipe

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks, I'm very proud of that

[@joseppastor7309]

Buenísimo, tendré que probarlo de esta forma, gracias Juan!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Gracias a ti guapetón 😘

[@Bluespira]

Love it. Wish I'd had this technique for all the plasmas I've done! I kept trying different things to try and get it to look this way, and this looks easier and better results. Thanks!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Happy to help

[@SparkSovereign]

Wow. That looks great, and you weren't kidding about how easy. Definitely got to get my hands on that oilbrusher, never thought of using white oil paint for this!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

I don't do Clickbait, of I say something I mean it

[@MagnumN117]

That was a great instructional video! I've been messing around with doing plasma effects for the first time too, thanks for sharing these tips! I'll give it a spin soon enough!

Wow. Incredible effect! Thanks for the video

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Happy to help

[@Mornomgir]

Awesome job mate. Not only the easy painting method but also the fact that like nearly everyone else you paint it proper. I for one dont want to be near anything plasma where the actual coil/casing is brighter than whats inside. Thats the good start of a very, very bad day.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

😂😂

[@pvtjhon]

Really nice setup you have in the backround. Really nice cubbys for everything.

[@jmccord8133]

Thank you for this video. I have been hearing from others that air brushes were the only way to do plasma effects well. I prefer brush painting, and your tutorial is top-notch!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Happy to help, top tip:
If you glaze the fort two steps instead of Drybrushing them you get a smoother result but of course the increase of difficulty is also notable

[@no.6minis]

Very nice! Love this technique!

[@TejrnarG]

Thank you so much! i was unsatisfied with my plasma effect, but now I know why: I painted the recesses darker, and the coils brighter. But obviously if the bright light comes from inside the coil it would be the other way around! Also leaving some paint on the weapon really sells the glow effect!
