I feel like you'd get an even bigger impact if you did three colors for your base coating. A dark, a mid tone and a Dark. With the Green and Orange the colors looked great at the start but I feel like they didn't work in the end due to the lack of contrast. Might look good to do a purple for the dark, orange for the mid and green for the light. Would just need to be a different shade of green and orange. I like the shade of green you chose, but maybe go with a darker orangey red. Something like Orange Red by Vallejo. Or close to it.
Vfar as the wood is concerned you can skim it wit filler or even plaster the just sand it down with a fine grade sandpaper.just make sure it's completely dust free before you cast the mould
For the price of those cans you could have bought an airbrush. Then you get a choice of primers and bet of all if you just buy white primer you can tint it with ink, getting from almost black (I prefer that to full black, so does Vince Venturella) then you can white Zenith on top. But you can use drops of ANY ink (or think paint) to create any basecoat you want, warm colours for skin, shadow colours for armour, etc.
I wonder why the printing lines were so much more visible on the one you primed brown. Maybe it's the resin. That orange primer one was so florescent - definitely something to remember for the right model :)
Most hobbyists like cheap and durable resin. What about a showdown between rpg resin, abs like resin and wargamer resin. How detailed can you make them and if the price is worth it
Love your videos mate! Made me realise I can slap the stuff on and not worry about wiping the brush all the time. Just dip and paint and let the paint do the work! Thanks so much!
Fill the mold with dry rice or dry sand. Pour it into a measuring container after. Get a guess at the volume that way. The dry material is way easier to clean out.
I love your work! Vibrant colors that stand out on the board and look FUN to play with! And you're doing simple, clean, easy to follow miniature painting techniques!
Currently remodeling a room in my house for 3d printing since i bought a second resin printer and want to start painting my own mini's. Do you recommend clear coating the slap chopped mini's?
also if you want to compare definition you absolutely need to give figures a base coat most of these high def resins do not actually capture better detail they just have a more matt and opaque pigment that makes it appear more detailed check the aussie once in a six sided dice or so on yt he compared many resins
Over 5 minutes into the video and I lost interest because you still haven’t gotten to Slapchop painting, which is the title of the video. Was hoping to learn something new…instead I’m moving along.
I feel this kind of thing is brilliant for in person TTRPG games where table size is a factor. Especially if youre not playing at the DMs house it makes travel and storage a ton easier for the DM. This also allows you to have big extravagant encounters without people having to roll dice in their lap lol.
They make line brushes specifically for doing cross hatching. Your local art store should have them. I'd recommend buying one in-person because line brushes are easily ruined if they aren't stored properly (like when they get sent to you by mail). You'll want to see the brush before you buy it to make sure it's not frayed anywhere.
Nothing compares to Sunlu abs like. Using anything else is waste of money and time because other resins WILL break on you. Sunlu doesn't. You have to basically intentionally try to break a mini.
Okay so a lifehack....do not use the flat legobase, just make a big flat plasticine and put the frame on top. Use Silicone spray for releasing and better silicone spread, when the first half is done you do not have to diassemble the entire frame just enough to build for the other side. Now spray again silicone spray, then wipe up the part which is on the silicone(or better yet spray the silicone into some small cup and use a brush to spread it on the figure), then spread a little talcum with a brush evenly on the mold itself. Por the other half....the two side will came apart nicely and the mold will be less lkely full of bubbles
