perfect as always….Love the videos, have given me some inspiration and some ideas (esp experimenting with washes 😀 Keep up the good work 😀
Perfect ?!
Thank you, but not at all, sir…
Not to be self deprecating, but this is very quick and dirty. You can see the granulousness… But this is the basic technique and you will be able, with slightly more patience, to achieve a perfectly blended result.
Plus, I had hayfever. BAD. Thank @Dignity for editing out all my sniffling, sneezing and nose-blowing. That said, it just goes to prove you can paint when you have a runny nose… It’s just less convenient.
I’ll do a follow-up tutorial on some more parts of this miniature. Keep painting !
BoW Romain
Even tho it was quick and dirty it still showed the use of painting in washes to blend rather well.
Looks nice Romain so far. Though a little niggle would be that we never see the completed model. I know thats not the point of the tutorial, but still would love to see him finished 🙂
Other than that I like the different style than the flat highlighted ultramarine blue dire avangers.
One more thing though bud, whats rattling around in the film pot you stick the mini too? I often wonder that (Small mind see lol)
Aha, how acute of you ! You know, this is actually an interesting point… Maybe I’ll expand slightly, here. Many painters use a cork stopper or an old paint pot to prop up their miniature when they paint… I wanted something that was slightly heavier than most minis, because I like having something heavy in my hand to counter its weight. It’s also a feeling I’m used to… I don’t quite know where it comes from, but it’s probably that when you’ve painted lead (let alone metal) for a long time, the weightlessness of plastic and resin can seem disconcerting,… Read more »
Ahh thanks Romain. I use a pot myslef with UHU White Tack to affix the mini, it seems to be more sticky than regular blu tac and gives a firmer hold.
I have actually got one of them tiny vices with clips on the end, and yeah it was a pain in the backside to use so gave up with it – another usless gadet to add to my collection!
Nice video as usual. I would love to see a tutorial on how to paint black armour! Black, and indeed white, have to be the most difficult colours to paint successfully!
