Jesus, this episode is definitive one of the best ever. We should be crowdfounding to repeat this next year. Great thx for Geek Gaming and Midwinter for this exzellent colaboration!
Guys, this was my favourite TUP episode yet. The 4 of you had such a great vibe and it's like a bunch of mates shooting the breeze about life and mini painting. Please hook up again and do more as it was such a refreshing take to see 4 people with different approaches to the hobby as a job, and as enjoyment.
This is easily my favorite episode of the podcast so far! This was so good! The energy was beautiful between all four of you, it was so perfect! Also, for the next intro titling: Welcome to the hobby podcast where we talk about moist, half-naked men and nerdily hit on each other
Do what you're going to do, but "non-toxic" just means that it hasn't been demonstrated to be toxic when used as expected ("used as expected" does not include "eaten"). It's not like that stuff has been tested as a food additive or anything. Another thing to pay attention to is that you really don't want to breathe aerosol paint -- say from an airbrush. This is especially the case with metal salt pigments (cadmium, lead white, chromium, whatever), but it's not great to be inhaling a new plastic coating for your lungs either. I mean, they might be well preserved at the end, but the same would be true if you were using formaldehyde. Unless you're aiming to be the star attraction in one of those plasticized corpse exhibitions, of course. All that said, the risks of hobby paints are probably pretty low (though if you take those risks and die, it's on you; I'm not the toxicologist you're looking for). But if you talk to an artist trained in an art school, I think you'll find that _none_ of them lick their brushes. And yes, I have licked my brushes in the past and so far have conspicuously failed to die. I would just recommend actually choosing the risks you are taking rather than taking risks without understanding what they might be.
Fristly, fantastic episode! Scott mentioned his surprise that episodic content seems to work for other creators. I can say that I eagerly anticipate every episode of Guy's Warlord Titan series, as well as Squidmar's diorama series. I would definitely watch episodic content put out by Scott and Jon if they gave it a try. Hell, I'd watch you all paint just about anything. It doesn't have to be on a grand scale. The painting advice is you put out is great, but it's your infectious personalities that keep so many of us coming back for every vid. Just keep being you, and keep doing what you enjoy.
Hey guys, really stoked to see so many of my fav TH-camrs in the same place! Welcome to the UK Scott and Jon - great to see you on the right side of the pond! :D
This episode is amazing, it's got everything: Scott's mindful mediation, Guy's heartfelt hobby history, Luke's brother's ass, and Jon's glue filled taint. That moment at 12:05 where Scott & Luke start instantly copying Guy's gentle caress of the table is pure gold.
Scott you are a very good 'host' - Probing questions, asking for consensus and allowing space for further discussion to expose the deeper meanings to the initial responses.
This episode was hilarious! I had tears from laughing so hard with you guys! I am also 100% on board with a spin off podcast with Luke and Guy! Love all of this!
The best is painting as rehabilitation. I had a very bad brain blow out and use painting to work my arm, leg, and balance (lost my right side). It is very helpful for PTSD as well. This video was awesome
This was so awesome. Great idea getting the four of you all together for a podcast. It would be great if you guys could figure a way to do it again sometime.
I waited all week to have a good laugh on a Friday. Honestly amazing I could listen to all four of you for hours and hours. Just like mates down the pub having a good time. Thanks to all four of you great content creators
Great episode! I really loved the outro as well. The whole standing up from the table and walking away. Something about it just felt like great closure.
Geek Gaming Scenics is one of my favourite youtube channels, Luke has so much knowledge on materials and, is so proficient at creating quality stuff, it's always an amazing resource for tips...also he's from fairly near to where I live so he sounds like home lol.
Absolutely loved this, just getting back into the hobby in a light way and seeing all four of you on this side of the pond is great. Thanks for some great laughs while I sit here keeping an out for the field mouse my cat bought in, while everyone else has gone to bed.
The best thing about all this is... you just KNOW that it has to happen the other way around now. Brits visiting the US. Hope you are enjoying the UK guys, sorry about the weather so far. Even for the UK, this spring has been spectacularly meh.
I have watched/listened to every TUP episode and this one is easily one of my favorites, Guy and Luke made amazing guests :D I have watched a few Midwinter Mini and Geek Gaming Scenics videos and this episode certainly made me more interesting in watching more :D
I definitely need a game attached when I'm painting models. Kill team and warcry and other small skirmish games have given me a great entry point to painting several different small forces instead of all one color space marines. I have models in those forces that don't and won't ever see table time, but being painted like my other units for that game makes me feel good. Example, my Shroud Runner jetbikes and Autarch will never get played, but they look nice standing near my Rangers and Dire Avengers kill team.
Awesome episode, great energy! On the point of dumbest thing done, i licked a brush that i had just cleaned with Abteilung Magic Potion. My mouth went numb.
I only paint models for gaming, but I also select models for gaming that I'm actually going to be excited to both paint & play with, so those hobbies fuel each other.
I'm mostly in the same camp as Guy, I paint mostly game pieces, for gaming with. I didn't have a desire to paint a display model, until I did. It sounds weird, but that's pretty much how it was, the *right* model came across my feed one day, and it was as though I could see exactly how I wanted to paint it, and so I ordered the STL, printed it, and painted it, and I had a lot of fun with it. But that itch is scratched, and I'm happily painting gaming pieces again. I'm happy I painted what I painted, but I don't have the desire to paint another large scale mini again right now. But I won't say never, it just needs to be the right model, I guess.
You know, PISS is a great word. Some great slang terms related to it: If something is crooked, you say it is "On the piss". "Gonna have to redo this decal, it is a bit on the piss". Or if it is raining significantly, it is "Pissing it down", if it is extra heavy though, you can say it is "Shitting it down"
I know I'm very late to the party here (sitting painting while listening to the TUP backlog) but John said I have to comment on this so I must obey. I give zero cares if a mini has a game attached to it or not. I'm an avid PC gamer and just got back into the painting hobby. If I want to game I get on my PC. If I want to paint I look for a cool mini regardless if it has a gaming purpose around it or not.
I have only been painting models that can be used in a game for now. I plan on following the painting masterclass from Scott's Kickstarter. I think my answer to the question would be "I like painting models with a purpose" so if I were to paint a model that isn't attached to a game I would be using that model as a platform to push myself and improve on techniques as well as learn new ones. I do like displaying my models but knowing that I can use them for something else as well and knowing that I painted them, brings some extra satisfaction.
I started out only painting minis for games, not sure when it happend, but one day i just started painting some cool minis. Nowadays i find myself looking at busts and haveing a go when it takes me. I was never a good painter, but as i forced myself to get better the more i wanted to try diffrent things...only so many times i can paint a bolter without thinking " there something more?"
chairs, luds, that wah totely wickid! (and for any Americans present)... thank you so much, gentlemen, this was an effort so wonderful that it borders upon hyperbole! 😊
Im the same: no interest in painting display pieces. With all my hobbies it’s the joy of making something useful: I love painting miniatures to use them in my D&D games, either as monsters or as (N)PCs. And equally, I love leatherworking, sewing, felting, bookbinding, and cooking, but I love all those thing because I make things that aren’t just pretty but that have a use as well. And nothing brings me more joy than hearing that something I made with love for a friend like a pair of shoes or a giant crocheted blanket eventually gets worn down because my friends use them often. Using the things I make brings me that continual feeling of satisfaction in a way that making something and just putting it in a place to look at it from time to time can not. But I can really understand that that would be very different for someone else!
Scale 75 paints taste horrendous lol . Especially the flesh colour ones/light colours. Must be the white pigment? Great show. Great to see you all chilling together!
I'm with Guy on the minis for display thing. As a gamer first I need that end purpose to motivate me to get a project under way. However my approach to painting is much closer to Luke, in that tabletop standard is good enough.
God damn, i was trying to paint hazard stripes listening to this! It looks like a diamondback pattern instead. Not laughed so hard in a while! Thanks guys!
I’ve been back in the hobby for the past 5/6 years. I pretty much only paint having only played a couple of games with my 6 year old. However, I don’t paint for display and typically only paint minis attached to a game that I may or may not play one day!
I 100% paint for games that I get to play. I do enjoy painting, but its more of a small creative outlet and way to relax. But if I'm going to do it, I want to make certain Im constantly getting better
I used to be very much like Guy until my favorite game (Warzone) died and I realized I'm still having fun painting the models even knowing my chances of ever playing with them again are slim to none. These days I considered the product of my hobby the fun time I spent painting the models and the fun I have playing with painted minis. I barely get any satisfaction from display models once painted though, mainly because I'm never fully satisfied with what I've done. It's more about seeing the progress I've made as a painter when I can compare them to older stuff but on their own they have little value to me.
Great show, love the collaboration! I find painting fairly relaxing, I just put on music and paint. I enjoy the reward of turning a boring plastic figure into something that has more life. I paint to bring life to game pieces, so display painting isn't my calling at present. I also found double-sided tape works better than poster tack for me.
my dumbest hobbying thing was having uncured resin mix all over my hands, forgetting to wash them (or wear gloves) and then eating something with my fingers. I felt ill for a week. don't do what donny don't does!
I'm in the hobby primarily for painting and dioramas. Maybe some of the lore and black library stuff. When you work all day in front of a computer screen, sometimes you just want to focus on something not emitting blue light. Painting has always required patience and work, I always find I get into a xen like state - I don't check the internet, I'm not absorbing, I'm just putting paint onto plastic. Video games, as much as I do love them, are more for socialising with my friends or just the minute to minute feedback loops. I'd say my enjoyment is more in line with a movie, I am going into an experience somebody else has built for me. Mini painting is the reverse I suppose.
The whole licking the brush when you shouldn’t thing is why I won’t use enamel washes - I know I’ll lick the brush after it’s been through the mineral spirits.
Great episode! For me, I need to do smaller projects like a complete 2000AD set with terrain to go. Playing Smash TV give me the same satisfactíon as painting but the painted game set is still around when I power my snes down.
With regards to painting models I'll collect and paint models I like but once I've collected enough models to play in a particular game then the flood gates open and the emersion begins. Most of my fantasy models are always bought with a view to be part of potential rpg supplies
Get someone who looks at you the way Scott looks at Luke when he's trying to decipher what he's saying...
Jesus, this episode is definitive one of the best ever.
We should be crowdfounding to repeat this next year.
Great thx for Geek Gaming and Midwinter for this exzellent colaboration!
Guys, this was my favourite TUP episode yet. The 4 of you had such a great vibe and it's like a bunch of mates shooting the breeze about life and mini painting. Please hook up again and do more as it was such a refreshing take to see 4 people with different approaches to the hobby as a job, and as enjoyment.
Thanks for the shout out @Midwinter Minis ! Really enjoyed this episode, was great to hear four of the big hobby tubers talk shop.
Shoutout to Guy who got me back into the painting hobby with his Blackstone Fortress series.
This is easily my favorite episode of the podcast so far! This was so good! The energy was beautiful between all four of you, it was so perfect!
Also, for the next intro titling:
Welcome to the hobby podcast where we talk about moist, half-naked men and nerdily hit on each other
What an episode, Luke had me dying on several occasions.
Trapped Under't Plastic - regular UK version starring Guy and Luke when? #flippertyfloppingtonabbey
Do what you're going to do, but "non-toxic" just means that it hasn't been demonstrated to be toxic when used as expected ("used as expected" does not include "eaten"). It's not like that stuff has been tested as a food additive or anything.
Another thing to pay attention to is that you really don't want to breathe aerosol paint -- say from an airbrush. This is especially the case with metal salt pigments (cadmium, lead white, chromium, whatever), but it's not great to be inhaling a new plastic coating for your lungs either. I mean, they might be well preserved at the end, but the same would be true if you were using formaldehyde. Unless you're aiming to be the star attraction in one of those plasticized corpse exhibitions, of course.
All that said, the risks of hobby paints are probably pretty low (though if you take those risks and die, it's on you; I'm not the toxicologist you're looking for). But if you talk to an artist trained in an art school, I think you'll find that _none_ of them lick their brushes.
And yes, I have licked my brushes in the past and so far have conspicuously failed to die. I would just recommend actually choosing the risks you are taking rather than taking risks without understanding what they might be.

Only just started listening to this while I'm making breakfast, but I already love the 4 of yall together.
I like how Jon and Luke just bring pure chaotic energy wherever they go.
Scott you are a very good 'host' - Probing questions, asking for consensus and allowing space for further discussion to expose the deeper meanings to the initial responses.
This was like hanging out with 4 mates. Such a great episode
This episode was hilarious! I had tears from laughing so hard with you guys! I am also 100% on board with a spin off podcast with Luke and Guy! Love all of this!

Geek Gaming Scenics is one of my favourite youtube channels, Luke has so much knowledge on materials and, is so proficient at creating quality stuff, it's always an amazing resource for tips...also he's from fairly near to where I live so he sounds like home lol.
This was pure and utter joy, thanks for the content boys.
I started watching this at breakfast - and almost called out from work as it was SO GOOD! We need a “like” multiplier!!!
OMG I ALWAYS WANTED THIS EPISODE TO HAPPEN!! THIS IS EPIC!
Love this episode, it's so great to see so many different views with such real answers and view points, thanks to you all, hope it happens again!
Brilliant! I was crying with laughter listening to this whilst trying to drive! More of this!!
This was an amazing episode. Almost all of my favorite minis youtuber in the same room shooting the s***. I laughed to darn much!
oh wow, that 'take no prisoners' ending!
Fantastic group of personalities
I'm pretty sure I've watched every episode. This is by far one of the best :) More guests like this!
Absolutely loved this, just getting back into the hobby in a light way and seeing all four of you on this side of the pond is great. Thanks for some great laughs while I sit here keeping an out for the field mouse my cat bought in, while everyone else has gone to bed.
The best thing about all this is... you just KNOW that it has to happen the other way around now. Brits visiting the US.
Hope you are enjoying the UK guys, sorry about the weather so far. Even for the UK, this spring has been spectacularly meh.
Awesome, Supergroup of the mini world - best episode ever!
Bruh now this is a crossover I needed.
Thanks muchly to four of my favourite content creators
Great conversation guys! Now I have to go play some old command and conquer again…
42:26 that’s my thing.
I’m painting with purpose. Imagining my models storming across the table top.
Amazing, yall hanging out has been a long time coming!!!!
Great episode! Thank you oodles!
The ultimate minituber Mashup? couldn't be happier
Best interview and collaboration ever! 😂

Great episode, y'all! You are all so talented and I enjoy your content very much.
Also, Luke, I loved your diorama :D
Great episode - thank you all for making me laugh and helping me relax this evening. Cheers lads!
uhm all my favorite mini painting 'tubers in one podcast. Is it Christmas already?!
Great episode! The four of you rocked it. The last minute had me crying with laughter, awesome job 😎
90% of the stuff I paint isn't attached to a game, but I enjoy the building and painting more than anything.
Oh yes 🙌🏽 This will make the Monday so much better.
I only paint models for gaming, but I also select models for gaming that I'm actually going to be excited to both paint & play with, so those hobbies fuel each other.
I'm mostly in the same camp as Guy, I paint mostly game pieces, for gaming with.

You damn nerds are the friggin' best! Great episode!
This has been my favourite episode ever!
Four of my favourite TH-camrs in one room!

Or if it is raining significantly, it is "Pissing it down", if it is extra heavy though, you can say it is "Shitting it down"
That’s me, I don’t get to play much and I love painting minis, but would only feel motivated to paint something I might play
I lived in Jersey And they are called Jersey Beans! Lovely place trained in stone masonry there
Ayyyyyy!!!!!!! I always love guests on tup. These two especially make amazing hobby content!
I know I'm very late to the party here (sitting painting while listening to the TUP backlog) but John said I have to comment on this so I must obey.

Best TUP episode so far, laughed so many times it hurts smiling and when i try to squees a fart haha
Best episode yet. Hands down!
I have only been painting models that can be used in a game for now. I plan on following the painting masterclass from Scott's Kickstarter.

What a great and entertaining episode. I really love it
Finally got around to watching this - glad I did awesome entertainment guys
Loved this episode. You guys made me laugh. Shame it can’t be a regular thing.
The brush licking story is the exact reason I always give people for not licking brushes.
super cool, nice one ladz!
chairs, luds, that wah totely wickid!
(and for any Americans present)...
thank you so much, gentlemen, this was an effort so wonderful that it borders upon hyperbole!
😊

Great show. Great to see you all chilling together!
Incredible episode guys!
Great show. I am 100% on Guy and Lukes team, and mainly paint board game miniatures. I have no room for storing the byproducts of being creative :)
Great episode! Luke and Jon make comedy gold
I'm with guy my models need some sort of life to live after completion. This was amazing well done, four absolute bosses.
Fucking love the banter between the 4 of you.
But keep us wanting.
I'm with Guy on the minis for display thing. As a gamer first I need that end purpose to motivate me to get a project under way. However my approach to painting is much closer to Luke, in that tabletop standard is good enough.
Nice to see midwinter and geek gaming together
God damn, i was trying to paint hazard stripes listening to this! It looks like a diamondback pattern instead. Not laughed so hard in a while! Thanks guys!
New favorite episode. Lol, good stuff guys.
Wow that was such a delight!
I’ve been back in the hobby for the past 5/6 years. I pretty much only paint having only played a couple of games with my 6 year old. However, I don’t paint for display and typically only paint minis attached to a game that I may or may not play one day!
Guy holds up his painted Titan and Luke says "It still only counts as one!"...
This is sooooo funny guys. Loved the episode.
I 100% paint for games that I get to play. I do enjoy painting, but its more of a small creative outlet and way to relax. But if I'm going to do it, I want to make certain Im constantly getting better

Someone shouldve slapped midwinter for having his mic so low
This is definitely one of your top podcasts! absolutely loved it, even if you didn't want to turn Guys mic on tho just make him wear the headset 🤣😉😘
12 mins in and I love this group already
Awesome live from the TSports arena what an intro.
Best episode of this podcast ever.
my dumbest hobbying thing was having uncured resin mix all over my hands, forgetting to wash them (or wear gloves) and then eating something with my fingers. I felt ill for a week. don't do what donny don't does!
Nice to see rivenstone as the sponsor, the models seem neat

With regards to painting models I'll collect and paint models I like but once I've collected enough models to play in a particular game then the flood gates open and the emersion begins.
Most of my fantasy models are always bought with a view to be part of potential rpg supplies
This episode was AWESOME!
