A great start, Looking forward to more to see how this looks when finished
That does look pretty cool for being pretty easy. I’m interested to see what you do on the upper body where the armor is.
Looking great. wound you add a little bit of rust to the larger pieces in areas unlikely to have continual wear?
Nice video. I think I wouldn’t mind seeing some mud and dirt as well as battle damage.
15mm tanks. I would really really like to see your style of painting applied to 15mm FoW style tanks. I am not by any stretch a detail painter and your techniques seem right up my alley!
Great vid John! Romaine has his place bit your style suits me better!
Good god, Sterm-Konig … this hurts! It’s called Sturm-König! Now I don’t expect you to pronounce German names correctly but at least spell them right 😉
Like to see what you do to the armour
John, I really like your painting style. We need some rust on that walker!
What do you mean, “what have I done with it” ? The table wasn’t exactly pristine to begin with… lol
You probably cleaned it. I think John like his painting table just as he likes his models, dirty, greasy, dusty & rusty.
lol yup that’s more like it 😉
Damn you and your cleaning tables! Or as I like to call them “weathering practice boards” 😛
Nah, seriously, sorry if some of it was a little worse for wear… these things age, just like us all ! It’s been a while…
Are you guys telling me we need a new table ???!?!
I’m fine with this one, lol.
It can go, it can stay, I don’t mind. Now that I have a proper chair, I’m happy ! 🙂
Excellent tutorial… already googling the modelmates wash, thinking of lots of uses for it in my painting. So simple and it looks pretty good already. Would love to see the next step though as mentioned right at the end.
The modelmates washes are super! I just experimented with the verdigris and the rust effects, just brilliant. But applying it in this order is really cool. Thanks for this John.
Nuln oil, my second favourite wash next to agrax earthshade
“OMG. Undiluted paint direclty from the POT???” No, seriously John, don’t sell yourself to short in comparison to Romain. You have something to teach too. Romain is a extremely good painter, who taught me a lot even I have mediocre paint skills at best. But as a versatile gamer, I have to paint skin/cloth AND tanks. I loved the “Tank God” videos and I think I will also enjoy this series. Looking forward to more of your unorthodox ideas, which are great. (I remember the cast metal technique with liquid green stuff, simply great)
Great video. Looking forward to the others. By chance does anyone know of something comparable to Modelmates that is available in the U.S.?
I too tend to paint my models as if they were out in the field for quite some time. War isn’t a clean affair after all! 😉
When painting an army, I prefer fast and easy techniques s this one. I tend to use more elaborate techniques for special characters or minis I paint because I like them.
Great video John. I missed your Tank God videos (I don’t currently have any tanks…), but with a bundle of DUST stuff heading my way I will be sure to dig them out from the archives.
It might be beyond the scope of what you’re planning John, but I’d love to see some demonstrations of weathering powders for things like rust and mud.
woo been waiting for dust to dust great video keep it coming!
Cool video John; nice and simple techniques. Looking forward to the next part! 🙂
Lately I just can’t get your videos to play for more than about 45 seconds.
I have no problem streaming Netflix, Amazon, or YouTube. It has something to do with your servers.
Can I download the videos so I can watch them later? That way it won’t matter how slow the pipe is.
Simple and effective. Is there a replacement for the first specific used?
Interesting way of painting the metal parts. Will definitely try this. PLEASE finish the model and show how you paint the armor plates now after you cannot really airbrush them without destroying the grimy parts.
Weathering the armour and adding dust and scratches would be great
