“Is this too short ?”… it reminds me of an ex…
Still, nice and simple little video ! 🙂
I think this was a good length of time for this section of the model. It shows how simple this should be and to not over think it.
Can’t beat quick tips, love ’em.
good vid, straight to the point
Good stuff. I’m actually following along with a Chaffee I’m working on. I bought some pigment powder yesterday, so I’m keen to try it out. I’m also going to see what happens when I use it with some thinner.
Best of luck 🙂 You got to post a picture of the results!
Man its great to see John at it again…
I am a fan of his contributions to BoW
http://www.beastsofwar.com/scale-modeling/nid-week-build-converting-a-carnifex/
…personal favorite of mine
My only complaint is why would he be a backstage video…
Come on guys put him on the front page for everyone to check out.
If not ok that’s cool like seeing him at it just the same 🙂
Oh ya would like to see John do up a dropzone, PHR starter Army from start to finish…
That would be very cool to watch.
Why don’t we get him to dry brush the golden gate bridge while we’re at it eh 😉
Good job Johno!
And yes I’ll have a word with @dignity about the freeze frames he picks of you for the show promo pics 😉
The twat does the same thing to us too mate 😉
I did wonder when I got a skype message off a friend going “LOVE your BoW pic”
“is this too short?”
Absolutely not. IMO there’s room for both artistry and knocking stuff out quick when required.
@warren
Did we forget the 8+ hour ork stompa paint video…
John didn’t throw it against the wall I don’t even remember one paint brush flying
towards the camera.
He could probably nail down a PHR starter box, in 2 hours, assembly line style of course.
If not here is a tutorial from hawk…
Would like to see more battle reports with this game, one of my favorites
of recent.

I’m starting to work with pigements and have used Vietnam Earth on my Tour of Duty ACAVs, however I have a new Bolt Action Desert force to paint up with three tanks at the moment. I was wondering what pigment to use to represent the sandy/dusty environment that they operated in?
I would say to use a mix of mid dutys browns up to the light sand colours. As desert terrain does have room for mud which of course would be a very red-brown when wet and once dried would still be a darker shade than that regular sandy dust kicked up during daytime movements. The best thing I can suggest is fine footage from Iraq and Afghanistan of tanks and vehicles. That is by far the best reference material for doing anything in desert conditions.
Perfect length, the vid shows exactly what you need to do without a load of waffle just to pad it out.
Could have done the fixing part as well.
