🖌🎨 ONLY TWO WEEKS LEFT🎨🖌 Only two more weeks to grab the SQUIDMAR INFINITY Airbrush by harder & Steenbeck, and while you're at it, grab our new paint sets and wet palette as well! harderairbrush.com/pages/squidmar-release-2024-inf
Yo guys when I click the link it leads to 404 not found because it is taking the emoji as part of the link lol Already picked up the wet pallet and acrylics set but wanted to let you know for other guys who might want a new airbrush
This channel is among the best on TH-cam, miniature hobbyists or not. Thank you for the years of content and the inspiration to push ourselves further as artists.
honestly when i painted this model i felt it was kind of plain. for your brain to see this much potential is insane. amazing result. and if you didn't know commended entry means your top 6. not bad at all.
I am brand new to painting, I have never painted in my life, on top of that, i am new to the miniature world as well. I recently came across this channel in research into painting and painting miniatures and it completely took over me in the best way possible. Everything I've learned so far for painting in general, and painting miniatures, I have learned from you guys! Between getting Raphael 8404 brushes to buying all the essential Vallejo individual paints and paint sets to getting all 3 of the Squidmar paint sets to all the in between tools, gadgets, and tricks in the trade. I can't thank you guys enough! I just completed my first model yesterday and for being the first time painting literally anything, it looked incredible and felt so rewarding! Im still learning how to create different color tones and learning how to blend colors together but that will come in time! Literally everything i have learned when it comes to painting is all because of you guys and all of your videos! Thank you so much and please keep up the wonderful and rewarding work you guys put in! I have watched damn near every video you guys have on this channel this past week(i learned so much in this week its insane) and you guys are literally my favorite channel now! A blessing for me coming into this new found hobby entirely! Cheers from Pennsylvania, USA !
missed opportunity with that light on the base maybe? the metal is nicely painted, but a bit flat without an additional colour. could have been cool to have the light do more from beneath, even lighting up the gore string perhaps.
Amazing mini Lukas! I have almost everything I need for making mini's. My 16 year old compressor got a clean-up + check-up. Got the proper Vallejo paints + wet pallet. Still waiting on my 2024 Squidmar airbrush set. Now I have to re-learn everything. Got loads of time
30 years ago I entered my one and only GD competition. I had won a couple local and online competitions, so figured "Why not, let's give it a shot!". Big surprise, I didn't even make it to the 2nd round, lol. It stung a bit, but I got to meet and hang out with my sculpting hero Jes Goodwin, and have him sign the astounding artbook he had put out back then, and got to meet "IRL" my fellow Moderators from the Bolter & Chainsword forum. You guys are outstanding painters, and sculptors, so even if the chowderhead judges don't agree, I think you two are excellent artists, and judging by the interaction and subscriber count, many others feel the same.
Imagine entering one of the Squidmar MASSIVE dioramas into such a contest. The logistics alone for getting it to the judges table would be award winning.
All I can say is that Lucas really did awesome work, starting from sketch and finishing with travelling to Germany and participating the competition! Can't say if it's better than other competitors works, but still it is project that provokes the desire to paint something similar. Just in my opinion, this work is definitelly strong and fascinating.
Gratz! These Golden Demon videos are my favorites, really cool to see what high level painters do for these big competitions! Hope to see more in the future
Amazing video! Really love the TMM haha. I know 24 hour challenges are popular videos, but for golden demon I feel like I would rather watch you guys take longer on your videos haha. Its like the World Cup of miniature painting why not push to take your time? Still love the content keep at it, can't wait to buy your paints!
As someone new to the hobby, this channel is so inspiring. Videos are peak quality, and the content is always on point. Thank you for giving me something to look forward to with every single post!
Did you get the 180 or the 300 dollar one? I bought the 180 dollar one and am waiting on it to come. I have never used one before, but I am super excited to start.
Honestly one of my favorite minis you’ve ever done!! I like seeing some metallic metal on the channel and the details and textures on this one were insaneeeeee
Thanks as always for great content! I don't know if you're still sanding PVC pipes to be able to paint them, but you could try using PVC cleaner instead for a better finnish. The glossy surface is an artefact of the fabrication process. PVC cleaner is what you use when connecting pipes to make glue adhere to the surface, I bet it works for paint as well.
thanks you guys for all that you do ! you have helped me stay on my painting, I just wish I could afford to get your paint sets or even get that airbrush (mine broke long time ago). I just want to say thanks even is I can show it with getting your stuff Thank you I hope all well and BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THORN, and PAINT FOR THE MINIZ
its genuinely INSANE that this got a finalist pin when zumikitos nurgle harbinger of decay he stuck 800 hours into only got a notable entry! honestly amazing work for 24 hours genuinely crazy how fast you are, i think if you gave this TWO days and really worked on the metals, weathering and osl for the lights this could MAYBE just maybe get a commended
Nice idea. Thanks for focusing on necromunda which is a great game. I didn't thought about pvc tube, thanks for the hack. About The scene, the simple fact that the robot step on the rat , it should and will be smashed potato.😅
i was in Essen as well for the first time ever and saw the entries live, they were fantastic. Wouldve loved meeting you guys tbh! Perhaps another time!!! great job L!!!
Haha. First, I thought the "get better" was a snarky comment regarding him not winning. But you are wishing him to get back on his feet from his cold :D
0:35 I think a spanish guy managed to win a Golden Demon after painting a mini the day before. Can't recall the name, it was in an old White Dwarf interview (2007-2014)
Hell yeah he should be proud. To even get an honorable mention and a pin is crazy!!! **FYI** H&S is having some minor shipping issues per the email they sent me. They are/have fixed it but orders may take a little longer than expected so don't panic. (United States)
I'm not even in the hobby, but I watch the channel, because it's fun and I like the minis and to watch the process of creating them. Other people watch football while not playing it, I watch this, lol.
the most surprising part of this video is now how good the painting turned out but that it takes 12 hours to get to Germany in spite of being so close.
@@hobonise from us to essen would be a 22 hour drive without breaks. It's almost the same distance for us to southern Sweden as Italy is to southern Sweden.
So you do use oil paint tints and shading, which is not part of your Vallejo kick starter. Washes do dry quicker than oils. You can even use Pro Acryl Newsh if you are under time constraint. I’m surprised you have not already covered this product with a video.
Well done, the standard was high as hell this year smashed it out the part doing it in 24 hours! I'm so glad i'm not the only one who came back from essen Sick! Seems like a lot fo people did
Would absolutely love to see you take this and put another 50 hours or so in and submit it for the next golden demon because holy shit this is my favorite model you guys have ever done except for the sea blue warlord titan
Lukas! If you can get a finalist pin in 24h when you've got people literally sinking hundreds of hours in to a piece, just imagine what you could do in 48h 😅

link is dead. 404 not found. I ordered all 3 paint sets already though. Still waiting
@@xmasterchini6 oh damn, I'll update it. Lmk if it works
404 Error on link (at least from US)
@@SquidmarMiniatures works for me now, cheers
Watching Lucas painting the freehand letters made my jaw drop. Those are some goddamn good lettering.
This channel is among the best on TH-cam, miniature hobbyists or not. Thank you for the years of content and the inspiration to push ourselves further as artists.
It couldn’t have been said it better.
Would be a truly rubbish channel for anybody not in the hobby.
The speed and quality of Lukas' paint jobs are otherworldly. Help me, Obi-Wan, you're my only hope!

Notable entry + finalist pin at GD is basically equivalent to gold at any other painting competition, which is wild for 24 hours of work.
Looks great but I think I would have gone a bit harder on the gore to hide the guide wire
missed opportunity with that light on the base maybe? the metal is nicely painted, but a bit flat without an additional colour. could have been cool to have the light do more from beneath, even lighting up the gore string perhaps.

Yeah, is there a maximum width or height?😅
Just looked theough the rules pdf. Did’t dee anything about size restrictions👀

I get it, Lukas had time for and additional entry. Here spent his majority of time on the nurgle entry:)

You all are what makes this community around the world so special. Many blessings to all of you out there. And many wonderful painting sessions!
The work was awesome and it was a huge pleasure to meet you and Emil!
I've seen professional painters put months of work in and get a pin, you should be super proud!
I bought the squidmar airbrush... and it's amazing. Precise, ajustable and easy to clean. I highly recommend it!
Happy you like it man
@@SquidmarMiniatures It's a really good tool! I'm glad I bought!
Did you get the 180 or the 300 dollar one? I bought the 180 dollar one and am waiting on it to come. I have never used one before, but I am super excited to start.
@@LSRibs It was cheaper than that, I pre-ordered it. And it's so easy to use/clean.
Honestly one of my favorite minis you’ve ever done!! I like seeing some metallic metal on the channel and the details and textures on this one were insaneeeeee
Lukas & Emil I gotta say I love the videos, the editing, the ideas, the vibe, the jokes... just everything is so nice to watch 🤩❤
that's a really really impressive piece. always blown away by what you guys do.
Well done Lucas!
And get well soon (you are not the only one with a convention flue)!
It was a pleasure meeting both of you at SPIEL!
Incredible Lukas !! That's a really good job and thanks you to share with us all this moment !
Congrats !! 👍
Get well soon Lukas! Still angry that I don't went to Essen this year. Just a 1 hour drive for me...
I honestly just love your content! Actually made me return to the hobby after 25 years

Awesome job Lukas!! Congrats on that accomplishment with those limitations you set for yourself. Amazing!!
Can't believe how fine your brush work is . particularly the fee hand on the base another mini work of art.
I don't paint miniatures, I'm a full gunpla guy but I truly enjoy yalls content and this was pretty cool and want to learn more about golden demon.
turned out so good!! your painting is so good it honestly made the true metallic paint stick out like a sore thumb
Amazing Painting, great video, thanks for being the best lads!
thanks you guys for all that you do ! you have helped me stay on my painting, I just wish I could afford to get your paint sets or even get that airbrush (mine broke long time ago).

Already saw some pictures from you in Essen. seems you had a great time. looking forward to seeing the recap video
What Lukas came away with doesn't matter. What he created in the time is just fantastic. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I can barely get enough sleep in 24 hours let alone legitimately compete in a painting comp. Solid and cool mini
That is damned impressive! 24 hours of building and painting and getting recognition for it is awesome dude!
It was awesome meeting you guys in person at Essen. Hope to see you again next year!
Awesome job Lukas. Thank you for this great video.
It was really amazin for just 24h!!! Great work Lukas!
Turned out so frickin good! One of the best from the category 💥💥💥
its genuinely INSANE that this got a finalist pin when zumikitos nurgle harbinger of decay he stuck 800 hours into only got a notable entry!
honestly amazing work for 24 hours genuinely crazy how fast you are, i think if you gave this TWO days and really worked on the metals, weathering and osl for the lights this could MAYBE just maybe get a commended
Harry Potter painting minis always brightens my day
Get well, Lukas! I also got sick after Spiel. It was really nice to see there
It seems that even TH-camrs can't avoid confluenza, glad to know I'm in good company!
Well, Lukas, you may not have won. But, you won in my heart! Great job! 💜
Awesome work Lucas!!!! Feel better soon!!!
Nice idea. Thanks for focusing on necromunda which is a great game. I didn't thought about pvc tube, thanks for the hack.
About The scene, the simple fact that the robot step on the rat , it should and will be smashed potato.😅
Amazing work Lukas! You can be really proud!
Congrats! Great job...love the gore effects
i was in Essen as well for the first time ever and saw the entries live, they were fantastic. Wouldve loved meeting you guys tbh! Perhaps another time!!! great job L!!!
Cool entry featuring the Traitor rock book art with minka lesk!
You guys are INSANE! Lukas, well done man, geez!
Lukas deserves at least one cookie for that paint work!
Even though you didn’t win, you created an incredible masterpiece of a miniature.
On a side note, loving your BGMs.
Big giant manparts?
Great effort! It was really nice to meet you in Essen.
I couldn't even make a base in 24 hours. Well done.
Very very talented painter and amazing mini! Congrats!
Great work Lukas! Hope you're better soon.
Amazing work, feel better Lukas!
Nice job on that Lukas. You definitely deserve cookies!
Get better Lucas, great mini, very dynamic, keep up the great work
Haha. First, I thought the "get better" was a snarky comment regarding him not winning. But you are wishing him to get back on his feet from his cold :D
O yeah , I am so excited about this airbrush ......squidmar addition!!!! It looks freaking amazing just saw the video from H&S.....🎉
0:35 I think a spanish guy managed to win a Golden Demon after painting a mini the day before. Can't recall the name, it was in an old White Dwarf interview (2007-2014)
No way you guys were in my home town 🔥 and props to Lucas for creating such an awesome mini in such a short period of time!
Came out super dope man.
Hell yeah he should be proud. To even get an honorable mention and a pin is crazy!!!
**FYI** H&S is having some minor shipping issues per the email they sent me. They are/have fixed it but orders may take a little longer than expected so don't panic. (United States)

I'm the same way. I don't paint minis, but I do paint 1/16th scale armor.
Well done, Lukas one incredible mini 🔥🔥🔥🔥
the most surprising part of this video is now how good the painting turned out but that it takes 12 hours to get to Germany in spite of being so close.
Do you know how long Sweden is?
@@SquidmarMiniatures Im from Australia, an 8 hour drive is "just down the road"

I would be really interested in how you transported the mini without breaking the glue effects
Karlssons Klister! Loving it!
Well done, the standard was high as hell this year smashed it out the part doing it in 24 hours!
I'm so glad i'm not the only one who came back from essen Sick! Seems like a lot fo people did
Awesome Work ❤🎉❤
I love the finished model, such a great Paintjob ❤ Is there any chance for a full tutorial for the colour scheme on the Automaton?
Holy forking shirt balls, Lukas' brush control is magical. I hope that he is already feeling better.
Nice painting as always 👍👍
Would absolutely love to see you take this and put another 50 hours or so in and submit it for the next golden demon because holy shit this is my favorite model you guys have ever done except for the sea blue warlord titan
Amazing work Lucas!!!!!
Amazing painting by Mr. Cookie. Get well soon!
Terrific piece, very impressive as usual!
I received your wet palette 2 days ago !! I can't be happier ! Thank you !! Next step to buy a humidifier like yours :)
Awesome, happy you like it!
There is always next time, I thought it looked awesome your amazing and you deserve cookies, I hope you try again
Would love to see something with less restrictions. Just try your best no time limits or whatever.
Lukas! If you can get a finalist pin in 24h when you've got people literally sinking hundreds of hours in to a piece, just imagine what you could do in 48h 😅
Awesome mini!!!!!
Congratulations Lukas! Those judges were obviously biased!!! 😅
Was fantastic meeting you guys at Essen!
We had a blast, so much nice people!
I won a Gold Medal for my armies on parade, which I am still super excited about.
That is truly amazing! 🤖🐀
What an amazing paint job. The beheaded rat is brutal. Such a nice video. Get well, Lucas!!!!!
that endresult is siiiiick 😍
Haha that looks awesome dude! At least a couple cookies worth 😂
Krya på dig, Lukas!
that piece was epic ! now i want to do one too
