No more excuses, with this video, 2023 is the year to get started on this amazing hobby! Thank you so much for all your hard work!
Anything you need brother!
@@RisingApe Likewise 🍻
My tip for the new painters, but NOT to be over used, is remember, if it all goes horribly wrong, you can actually redo everything just by dunking the model in Isopropyl alcohol and using a tooth brush to get it off. So don’t worry about major mistakes. However, don’t think of this as an undo button when you make one mistake!
Exactly, most mistakes are just an ugly phase that needs to be pushed through
If you've not filled in any detail, there's not actually any need to dunk. You can just paint that one bit again.
Honestly your one of the few youtubers I watch that have made data gathering interesting. Your approach to how you share your interests in this hobby are awesome from color history to what's the best advice for new hobbyists. It's really cool and entertaining.
I can't wait for your next video :)
My advice for new painters is treat a mini like a coloring book and pick the colors you want, if you paint something exactly like you think it has to be. It becomes very difficult to experiment later and experimenting is half the fun
Thanks I really appreciate that
This is one of those ideas i have but would never do. So props to you for the hard work! Awesome video.
Thanks
hey and thanks.
i also attended a roman lappat beginners workshop because i wanted to get started with the painting stage.
BUT, thats also what i asked him. how to have fun?
i enjoy cleaning up the bits and building everything, but after that i put em in the drawer without the motivation to paint it.
so i think, there should be guides of how to enjoy painting, being it to paint together etc.
Roman has some great videos but I have two videos about how to motivate, this video in particular I am really proud of, th-cam.com/video/IGv49s2qvQM/w-d-xo.html
Good to see you claw your way back out of that 88 vid marathon rabit hole! Worth the wait imho and enjoyable and engaging vid, thanks :)
Yup! Hopefully back on the train again now
Thanks for putting yourself through this for the greater good 😂😂 keep it up mate
Thanks mate 🤣😭
God Bless you for this work!
Thanks 🙏
Great research and great tips!
Thanks Troy. I am going to use the data in many more vids too.
Mmmm, the DSPIAE (pronounced this pay, according to a Reddit AMA they did something like a year ago) 3.0 nippers. Absolutely love those alongside my Tamiya 123's for hobbies where a two cut process is beneficial (namely gunpla and anywhere else you do straight builds).
I can see now why so many mention priming in black... And despite having tried a few other methods, it tends to be my favourite, especially with a quick and concise grey zenithal drybrush - provided I'm not painting in oils. For oils I'll mix up a medium-dark grey and then go over that with a rather light grey lighting zenithal, but that's mainly because for now I seem to prefer such. Love how you mention that priming in black also means that if you miss somewhere out of the way, or hard to access... It's already full shadow!
As for thinning with water, I'd say it all depends on how hard (or soft) your water is. Sure, I can use distilled water (and I do, for wet palettes, as well as water activated pencils (Faber Castell Albrecht Durer and Derwent Inktense come to mind)), but it's hard to beat the convenience of just pulling from the tap. Works well for Reaper Bones metallics, but I personally get better results with Vallejo Thinner Medium. However, I do agree that thinners aren't really necessary for mini painting!
Thank you soooo much for saying a wet palette, while nice to have, ISN'T a necessity. They're rather handy (so I'm told, mine still hasn't been broken in yet but hopefully will be soon (decided to focus on mental health stuff first, and get a bunch of other things sorted out)), but you definitely do NOT need the latest and fanciest of things. Some of them are handy (like say the Studio XL palette, with it's lid that seals so well it feels like you'll need vice grips to get it open again), while others are also nice but definitely overkill (Say, the BenQ e-reading lamps, which are rather lovely, but in my area, they're also like $300 CAD more than a pair of Ikea Tertial lamps)
thank you for this, a great comment, I also had no idea how to pronounce Dspiae :)
Good vid 👌
Mould line scrapers - you can use the back of a knife blade instead, but it can save you some nicks and scrapes to your fingers, or if you're occasionally cack-handed like me can save you trying to give yourself six toes! 🤣
Re:paints, I'm a bit of a paint tart, noticed you mentioned Scale 75, I've been trying some of them for the last six months, really impressed! Great coverage and very, very smooth 👌
Also a paint tart, I have heard really good things about S75 the other great range I only hear good things about is AK 3rd generation
I've yet to try S75 through the airbrush, but it's on my list of things to do, probably for HH. With a brush it's really nice!
AK are another one I keep hanging my nose over. I rue the day Element Games opened in Nottingham city centre 🤣
Speaking of, I just signposted a guy towards your hobby burnout vid on their weekly hobby checkpoint post 👍
have two different water pots (mine just has 2 chambers) one with soapy water and one with clean rinse water
it helps maintain the brushes and extends their life
If I am honest, I barely keep my one paint pot clean 😂 but yeh that does sound like good advice.
@@RisingApe
Oh give it a go, because you have a wash and rinse the rinse stays cleaner for longer, I only swap water like once a week lol
Loved this mate, great topic with some sage advice!
thanks Dene
Enjoyable vid. My one tip is don't try and compare yourself to Golden Demon winners and just appreciate the skill they have crafter over the thousands of hours painting. Try to better yourself with each model and take baby steps in that advancement.
I couldn’t agree more, it’s hard not to get carried away but try to focus on enjoying the process
Eons of battle are my all time favourite because they're funny and relatable
Yeh Jay and Nick are great, jay’s enthusiasm is infectious
@@RisingApe he makes me wanna have my own gungan army
Fun presentation!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic idea and excellently executed, great video James!
Thanks mate, at video 50 it didn’t feel like a great idea 🤣
That's a good point about the zenithal: you're not necessarily mapping out the highlights to a great degree of accuracy, but you are mapping out the shadows. And you're giving your paints an easier base to stick to.
Exactly I use it to get a very general sense of how to put stuff together. Getting the highlights and the shadows mapped out.
That was a great video, i liked it a lot. Nice collection of advice for beginners 👍
Thanks 🙏
Fantastic video!
Thanks, appreciate that
I've been painting mini's for 4 decades... I'm still learning!
my one suggestion. if you are painting a large army and/or lots of vehicles. consider craft hobby paints. use them for the majority coverage painting. save your more expensive paints for details.
a craft paint will cost under $2 for 2 fl oz.
the premier paint is about $8 for 0.5 FL oz. also, use basic craft brushes for majority of coverage. it adds life to your expensive brushes by not using them for the bulk painting.
I absolutely use cheaper paints when i am doing terrain and the like. Cheers for sharing
Great video !!
Thanks so much
OMG this is a huge task lol
Yup, it’s given me loads of inspiration for more videos though
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
Thanks Mark
Great video mate! I wish I saw it 2 years ago! It would definitely help, but I guess some things need to be learned the hard way. 😅
Sadly most of us learn the hard way! At least we have TH-cam to show the way these days.
I find when I buy expensive brushes I use them as an excuse to NOT paint, because I don't want to ruin them. For me its better to go cheap and mid range so I don't have to feel bad about not taking great care of them or using paints that are not good for them.
I always find that I use my expensive brushes for things I shouldn’t so they get wrecked, I can’t be trusted with nice brushes
I always find that I use my expensive brushes for things I shouldn’t so they get wrecked, I can’t be trusted with nice brushes
That's funny because that's how I am about my knives. If I have a very expensive one I stress over losing it or damaging it so I stick with the more economical which gives me more bang (blade) for the buck.
Thanks dude, this has been great. Hoping to pick up my brushes this year after a long hiatus.
Well if you need anything just shout
Some minutes of your time to get me going again with the sea of yellow would be valued… I can bribe you with wine 👍
@@StuartWebbJT sold
Awesome, I got the yellow contrast paint from GW for Christmas so I need to figure out how that’s going to change the way I was doing things
Pretty sure Redgrass sends every single hobby painter on TH-cam one of those wet pallets; gets amazing PR. I've heard horror stories about regular customers trying to get support however...
REdgrass have sent me some stuff but I bought all my palettes myself to get the genuine experience. Honest feedback the kickstarter was massively delayed but the customer service has always been good for me and during the KS they replied to any messages I had quickly. It’s hands down the best palette I have used, but a DIY is functionally the same.
Thanks for watching too
i like ur videos. personally im stuck, havent painted in mounths now, i think i got stuck under my pile of shame. the elfs i was working on just wont get painted. i guess its becuase i was trying to learn skin, but never got statified.
Skin can be tricky for sure, did you see my videos on Burnout or Motivation I use those tricks when I am trying to get out of a slump
This is amazing. Even after years I learned stuff. You can clean brushes with shampoo??
Yup, because sable is a natural fibre shampoo works amazingly! Would you use brush cleaner to wash paint out of your own hair?
Thank god someone did this. I wouldn't watch all that for anyone!
Haha, it was actually really cool to go back and watch the videos I used to watch when I started and revisit them.. big task though
Baking soda. Why is it amazing?
THANKYOU! it’s awesome as a cheap super glue accelerant, pop super glue on your base and sprinkle it on to set it like rock, instantly and you get a snow like texture too. Or dissolve it in water and spray it to make a non textured, non toxic accelerant.
This is the video that helped me click things together th-cam.com/video/0_2Vs5EJzps/w-d-xo.html
Nice, thanks for sharing
