This is an older video so not sure if you still read the comments but a few tips on your airbrushing to make it work well. 0.4mm needle minimum - if you’re using smaller with normal acrylic paints it’s just going to clog. Unless your pressure is high and your paint is like water. Neither will turn out well. Start and finish on air. If you finish your stroke on paint you don’t clear the needle. What happens is your next stroke you’ll pull the needle back into the nozzle and it’ll deposit dry paint inside and it’ll clog. Add a tiny bit of retarder to your mixes. If you use a hairdryer to dry it makes absolutely 0 difference to drying times. It just slows down too dry ( there’s no stopping it, will happen eventually ) Oh and tamiya paints are alcohol based acrylics not water based. Is why they’re so smooth out of an airbrush. You can thin with self levelling lacquer thinner and it comes out smooth as silk. Alcohol based acrylics taste absolutely aweful haha. I’ve licked my brush as well and yuk! Hope that helps :)
These two guys have literally inspired me to start mini painting and I love it. The happiness I have been able to give to other people from painting their DnD characters has been priceless. Thankyou both so much for the gift of knowledge and skill.
I found I don't have the same problem with the airbrush. Couple tips that worked for me - 1. Make sure you keep the air flowing for a second after moving the trigger forward to cut off the paint. This blows off any paint remaining on the tip. I essentially keep the air running all the time while "bursting" with the airbrush. I don't quickly start/stop the air. This keeps paint from building up on the tip. 2. Use more flow improver then you think you need. 3. When working with white or extremely desaturated colors you will need even more thinner/flow improver and keep a damp paper towel or soft bristle tooth brush to hit the tip with every now and then. 4. Spray some water and/or dilluted cleaner through with each color change. Get a squeeze bottle of water to clean out the cup and spray through a little bit. It only takes a couple seconds.
Finally! Mondays are a bit less frustrating with Trapped Under Plastic! I love this series, not just as background while painting, it is a good show that teaches and entertains at the same time!
Hi Scott and Jon, just started watching your podcast vids and loving them. I love the mix of your ramblings, painting insights, tips, pop culture references and humour, it's a real breath of fresh air. I've been having real mental problems during lockdown, i'm off work and suffering from anxiety so I just wanted to let you know you really cheered me up over the last couple of days while i've been feeling low.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels that way about airbrushes. I hate starting with full control and nice flow and then halfway the nozzle is 60% clogged, even with thinner and flow improver. I spend almost as much time clearing a clog on my Sotar as I do spraying
Love the continued content. Appreciate all the hard work that must go into the background of what you do, talking with a friend, ehh I'd guess thats nice. Keep it up.
Scott, as you airbrush make sure you are cleaning the tip. Especially if you're using more air than paint it builds up. I pretty much stopped having the same issue as you before I started paying attention to the needle tip/cone area
As a Type 1 diabetic, I am extremely grateful for artificial sweeteners. Non-diabetics have a different set of concerns, but, for me, it can be so nice to have a refreshing Diet Coke or the like without any worries about carb intake.
@ 45:30 a little speck of dust flotes into the frame and for the next like two minutes I zoned out everything that Scott said and had to rewatch because of that damn little floating speck of dust.
I think GW models are pretty easy for the most part aside from some small awkward details. Like the Necrons in Indomitus are great to assemble apart from the step where the head is over two parts and you need to twist their collarbone bits over each other to snap it in place.
I've found the biggest help in not getting dry tip in my airbrush is #1 thinning the paint more than I think I should and building color up slower (like duh right) #2 and less intuitive is spraying at a higher pressure. Unless I'm doing an incredibly light glaze I spray from 40-60psi.
So the method I found best for sculpting nuts on chaos spawn (obviously just scale them up a bit to Knight size) is take 2 small balls of green stuff or equivalent, wrap them in some leftover shrink wrap, hold a point with tweezers, and flash it with a lighter for like a millisecond. Ta-da
You guys touched on the vinyl cutter at the beginning. Are there existing services for such a thing? Where one could order custom stencils at an appropriate size for say some Kharadron Overlord skyvessel runes??
Related to grading, in some parts of the world (I'm in Romania) we use the full range (1 to 10, but with decimals and rounding up and down to .5). So anything below a 5 is a fail, but you get to know how hard you fail. A 1 is for handing in an empty test, a 4 is where you were close to passing, but not close enough
Yessss, I grew up with a Neapolitan mastiff and enjoyed seeing Hagrid’s dog! It threw me off since in the book they called Fang a bloodhound, but I can’t remember if they mentioned a breed in the movie.
Oh yeah, I had to figure that out in the beginning. I was only going for large minis and then I was too scared to paint them, cause they were more expensive of course. Also I thought I'd do way more with airbrush than brush and there big models are easier. I STILL have my very first mini from Creature Caster from February unpainted, though the last 3 months it's because I decided to heavily convert it. I feel you need to find a decent scale that you are comfortable with. I enjoy Primaris Marines very much, but Necromunda is a pain. It's just a slight difference in size, but that changes everything.
Maybe it was mentioned already but I like to submerge the tip of the airbrush in alcohol every so often, give it a few needle pulls then clear it. And continue. Seems to work well in comparison to not doing it.
Not gonna lie I am super jealous of your Cricut Scott. I want one for terrain making, so badly. So many possibilities for greebling and detail work but a three hundo fiddy investment in a hobby tool is a tall order
@@Miniac my understanding is that depending on which model of Cricut you have and which blade tools you have available yes. Sometimes it might require you to run the same pass twice to get a clean cut depending on the thickness of the styrene involved. The Necromunda terrain makers FB group has a few members who swear by it for making complex cuts like windows, arches and such.
Teacher here. Blame Goodhart's Law ("a measure that becomes a target ceases to function as a good measurement") and grade inflation, standardized testing, and funding based on grade performance for why we have the stupid grading system. I personally don't use traditional grades in favor of holistic review, like what Jon did with the cloak (giving you pointed review of what you did well and what needs improving). As I've long maintained: grades are for administrators; feedback is for students.
Hold my hands up, never used an airbrush. But I have painted motorbikes with automotive paintguns and they are for the most part super consistent and controllable especially when you limit the airflow at source and in the gun itself in the trigger pull restrictions. Generally they're pretty cheap and should use the same set up as your airbrush. Maybe give it a try?
Off topic to everything except the real brief distraction before you starting talking about Big Minis: I had my ears pinned back as a kid. It's kinda a bad name for it because there's no pinning involved, basically they cut the cartilage and fold the ear in to a less stuck out position, then you wear a massive headband bandage for a while (felt like forever but I was like 11 so it could have been like 3 weeks or something). Gives me absolutely no bother now, but they hurt in winter for a few years afterwards
For long strokes hold the brush further down the handle, use the length for lever action and reach situations. A long single brush stroke can be done with a lever action rather than a scoot. You have to learn the muscle control with it though, it's a slightly different muscle memory.
If you want truly GREAT Dr. Pepper, see if you can find the "hecho in mexico" glass bottled stuff. They don't use corn syrup, and they use the original recipe... or at least something very close to it. There's a bottler out of Texas that also makes the old school pepper. It's incredible.
my mother used to work as a midwife and said that in our country all children that are born with ears that stick out to much you just tape them back before the cartilage hardens but it is not common practice in all countries so it depends on where you are born and in some countries probaby what hospital
The reason people say Tamiya paints work better through an airbrush than others is because whilst they are acrylic paints they are held in an alcohol based binder instead of a water based solution. This means that before the paint can start to harden the alcohol needs to evaporate which naturally extends drying time.
If I ask about the scale, what I'm really asking is 'can I have this cool model in my Warhammer Quest! (1995) or D&D 3.5 as a playing piece. That's all I care about in miniature painting. If I don't compliment a miniature (specifically Scott's or Jon's), it's because I assume the painter knows it's good. However, in some cases, it may also be because I think pastels have no business on the mini in question.
Regarding large models, the reason I got into warhammer was because I wanted something small to learn to paint on before painting gunpla. Studio G has some great videos of custom gunpla if anyone's interested.
Jon’s new episode made me cry like a baby. ALSO yes SOBs are a real SOB to assemble. thank you for bringing that up in the ramble cause dude i am in the middle of assembling an army and i wanna shoot myself
No offense but Scott's Neanderthal Sister of Battle would indicate that small faces aren't all that easy to paint either. You have a lot more space to work with on a larger face and can make a thousand times more choices to make it more intricate or stylize it, than you can with a small one. Vehicles for me are daunting, even with an airbrush. Sometimes the airbrush kind of makes it harder because the texture looks so much more smooth than if you'd primed the thing with a rattlecan. If you watch someone like Night Shift (who is a self-proclaimed amateur compared to the "real" scale painters, whoever they are) you see the crazy amount of work that can go into making a "realistic looking" tank (movie realistic versus real realistic) but also how many more tools you have to work with to achieve it, with enamel products and manipulating the plastic to make textures or by adding more plastic! To be an experienced painter that can go into a project with a broad perspective, I think you need to have dabbled in scale model painting as well as warhammer'esque hobby style painting. I think the larger scale gives you more confidence in working with bigger brushes and not worrying about misapplying large amounts of paint. I'm happy sticking with Warhammer, but for me the real artists paint tanks, trucks and trains, not 70mm faces. All of this that we do, to me, is amateur hour in comparison, even if it can be impressive on a technical level (like NMM painting).
Sopwith le Chameau - Hobby tourism. Geek/Nerd hobbies have become popular and normalized, so people flock to hobbies like Warhammer and look at videos on youtube en masse to learn how to paint. Because they’re treating it like going drinking, there’s little interest or need to learn proper painting if they can use easy techniques and get an ok result. That’s why there’s a divide, because were it not for videos, they’d have to learn from the community where people already do both. I’m doing exactly the same returning in 2017, only my excuse is that I played 20 years ago and while I stopped 40k, I kept playing Necromunda and had to learn how to paint somewhat nicely because I had less than 20 models. I’m not blaming anyone, it’s just an observation on how people are treating the hobbies. The community side is a lot more online now.
GW is going well with 40k 'trying' to make things balanced by speedily updating rules and codexs but the issue still remains that it's still going to take almost an entire year for one or two factions to recieve their codexes. Especially if GW decides to really make a 'Space marine Supplement" for every stinkin' chapter there is.
Just stick the terrain on heres and you know its footprint. And track the hex the model is on top of. If the game doesnt have rules for verticality that's another thing.
i think the grades are that way because you need to retain 70ish % of the knowledge of the class to be able to pass on. How would you feel if they guy you go to to fix your car, retained less than 70% and is now working on your car that will hold your kids and possibly not be safe ( i know maybe a bad example). so anything below the passing grade doesn't mean anything other than F. You did not retain enough to go on to the next class
If I'm thinking about the same Lady with the calcs running behind and she looks like crazy this was extracted from a Brazilian Soup Opera. And the lady really was crazy and all that sh**.
I am sure this is not an unwelcome side effect. I just really hope that someone actually came up with the idea "hey, let's make our minis more interesting".
IMO, solo streaming and truly engaging with the chat and trying to do something else at the same time is next to impossible. Personally I feel that it is far more smoother and more interactive if the streamer has an additional person or two who handle the chat and read better comments and questions to the streamer. Kind of like how live talk shows on the radio use screeners to filter out crappier calls.
Scott you ruined your sponsorship shot right at the start of the video, as soon as the conversations start you grab the Dr. Pepper can and it look like you where going to turn it and show the label. It could have been great ad revenue hahaha. Love the show guys
@@Miniac Glad you enjoy it dude. Try not to let it consume too many brain cells though! Haha! PS Don’t now if you’re aware, the presenter died earlier this year. Quite sad.
I think the reason they dont use below 60 percent is beceause say you guessed on the whole test you theoretically have a 50/50 chance of getting g the answers right. So rating higher than that means that aside from the 50% you might have gotten right by pure guesses you were also able to get a higher percentage right, meaning you probably knew a decent amount. So to me if you had lower than 50% I feel like that means you actually tried but probably did something wrong that gave you a consistent wrong answer. 😅 r
Your assumption is that all questions are A or B answers. In reality, those make up a minority of test questions. Sure, there are multiple choice, but think of a math exam. There isn't much guessing that will allow you to get half correct answers when integrating a function from X to Y, you'd be lucky to get 10% of the answer right with pure guessing.
It's the simple things in life. Listening to this podcast whilst painting.. good times!

Always nice to wake up to some good TUP while getting the kids geared up for zoom learning and eating breakfast, thanks guys.

I totally have the same issue with airbrush. At start it's cool, at the end I do the pulse trigger. After that I clean the tip with qtip + AB cleaner.
"It's hard to assemble models these days"

How would you feel if they guy you go to to fix your car, retained less than 70% and is now working on your car that will hold your kids and possibly not be safe ( i know maybe a bad example). so anything below the passing grade doesn't mean anything other than F. You did not retain enough to go on to the next class
If I'm thinking about the same Lady with the calcs running behind and she looks like crazy this was extracted from a Brazilian Soup Opera. And the lady really was crazy and all that sh**.
I think the science behind making minis more dynamic is that the company is trying to make it harder for recasters to recast.
I am sure this is not an unwelcome side effect. I just really hope that someone actually came up with the idea "hey, let's make our minis more interesting".
IMO, solo streaming and truly engaging with the chat and trying to do something else at the same time is next to impossible. Personally I feel that it is far more smoother and more interactive if the streamer has an additional person or two who handle the chat and read better comments and questions to the streamer. Kind of like how live talk shows on the radio use screeners to filter out crappier calls.

Scott you ruined your sponsorship shot right at the start of the video, as soon as the conversations start you grab the Dr. Pepper can and it look like you where going to turn it and show the label. It could have been great ad revenue hahaha. Love the show guys
Everytime Scott talks about Love Island, I die a little bit more inside! Such a bad show! 😫😖💀🤣
it's a great show, admit it
@@Miniac Glad you enjoy it dude. Try not to let it consume too many brain cells though! Haha!
PS Don’t now if you’re aware, the presenter died earlier this year. Quite sad.
So no Army Painter Quickshade dips?!? Ok...take All the fun out of hobbying. 😉
Brain Drain is actually a thing. Just putting it out there: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_capital_flight
Thanks for the entertainment!
I think the reason they dont use below 60 percent is beceause say you guessed on the whole test you theoretically have a 50/50 chance of getting g the answers right. So rating higher than that means that aside from the 50% you might have gotten right by pure guesses you were also able to get a higher percentage right, meaning you probably knew a decent amount. So to me if you had lower than 50% I feel like that means you actually tried but probably did something wrong that gave you a consistent wrong answer. 😅 r
Your assumption is that all questions are A or B answers. In reality, those make up a minority of test questions. Sure, there are multiple choice, but think of a math exam. There isn't much guessing that will allow you to get half correct answers when integrating a function from X to Y, you'd be lucky to get 10% of the answer right with pure guessing.
James wappel gets tons done in his steams whilst talking to viewers and answering questions. I don't know how he does it
