Welcome to the Wasteland! This channel will be a video library of the work that I do with scale model cars, and the art of the post apocalypse. While I cannot guarantee it will be a bustling and thriving endeavour in the long run, I can atleast say that I'm going to keep this if only for handy hints and tips, tutorials and work in progress logs.
Thank you for viewing, and hope to see you again wastelander.

I’ll take 100 videos of someone trying their best and doing a perfectly good job with enthusiasm over anyone who feels the need to trash talk other people in the hobby. Congrats, she got my sub, you get a thumbs down
@@jhminiatures7867 Those machined Citadel corners are precisely fashioned to Citadel's highest specifications and can guarantee that Citadel miniatures are free of Citadel mold lines. With Citadel Models and Citadel Paint and Citadel Brushes and Citadel Wash cup and Citadel hobby mat I am unstoppable in the Citadel hobby. Now I just need Citadel water.
Right out of the gate dude outs himself as a misogynist: "It's a girl." What a horrible, toxic review. Just paint your own toys and leave other painters out of it. Making reaction videos to painting tutorials is the worst idea ever.
You can get modge podge in the 'Range' stores I got the 946ml pot which I think is the biggest,they had smaller pots, unfortunately for me my local range has not long closed down
For the shoulder pad the guy he is critiquing is correct you absolutely should dilute the wash or contrast paint, you can’t just slap that over the yellow pad and get the same results that the guy he is critiquing. You are sad get a life brother
Just a question, if you would have access to that Mod Podge, what would you have used it for? In all instances you used the PVE glue? Or just at the end for the final overall coat? And if you'd use it for the overall coat, still mixed it with black paint? I am asking since I can my hands on a bottle of that stuff and never used it. Thx!
Honestly I'd use it just like the PVA, except at the end where I do the black sealing coat, at which point I'd add a little water to thin it down. Modge podge is thick.
Good video, except for the part where you display the idea that conservation laws don't apply to you. That's a really privileged attitude that makes you look like an absolute ass.
I guess one could reprhase the question; "are you buying just a miniature or do you expect it to be backed up with a actually good game?" In the latter case there are so many better options.
Thats a great idea. I love the idea of a chandelier in a small hallway way out of place, or in the woods. The PCs should notice that something is off and take an appropriate action.
Love the idea of bending all along the cardboard for the roof to give it a curve. Definitely going to have to try that. Any time you're bending paper, cardstock or cardboard if you score a line along the bend (I like to use a dull hobby knife) before you bend you can can a much cleaner bend. For thicker corrugated cardboard you'll want to be careful to cut with the "grain" if you're cutting through one of the three layers. With how you're covering up the corners with cardboard on the first floor, if you can get a strip that's the entire circumference in length and measure carefully, you can just do three partial cuts, and then you only have to glue one edge. For your square first floor, just cut one wall and use that as a jig, but instead of cutting, score.
I want to preface this by saying that I am on the spectrum and it struggle with tone, this comment isn't meant to be hostile , and more of a perspective from a "high level painter" versus someone more interested in army painting. I also want to state that unlike Trovarion I have not entered into competitions, although I am working on a piece to enter into Golden Demon Youngbloods next year or the year after. The blue wash absolutely did something. I'm a traditional artist as well as a miniature painter and colour theory is something that is a huge interest of mine. There are some areas on the metal that the blue is visible on its own that you missed, but It also mixes with the brown and creates a more complex looking colour. Blue cancels out the orange in brown is some areas, it makes it more de-saturated in some areas in a way that just a darker brown wouldn't do and creates a really nice tarnished look. It also bothered me when you said that you could just use agrax earthshade. The tone and colour of agrax are very different from the brown ink (the brown ink is warmer and less dark), and using a standard wash would not give you as much control over the paint. You could but it would look much worse up close than Trovarions. (I do agree that he should have taken the panel lines quite a bit darker though, and the edges should be brighter) Higher level miniature painting is all about having control over the paint, the colour it produces, and how it behaves on the model. The reason he used a smaller makeup style brush and a sponge is also control. Control of the texture and where the paint is going that you wont get just using a bigger drybrush. I do agree that airbushing and using chipping fluid was dumb. He should have skipped the chipping fluid and the airbrush, and chipped manually. You did say that you shouldn't go straight to yellow, which is almost always true, but using chipping fluid is an exception to that rule. You cant do a white first because it will show when chipping. However he should have skipped the chipping fluid entirely, it never looks good. Doing a white and using imperial fist contrast isn't quite how I would do it but its close. I would do a white, do a light wash with a very bright magenta, then use imperial fist. It doesent take much longer and adds some really nice orange tones. I highly recommend you try it. Much of your issue with this tutorial seems to be that Trovarion is trying to create something that is somewhat fast, but looks good very close, and pretty alright far away with lots of colour variation and texture. Trovarions miniature contains varied colours, textures, and detail that you would completely miss on the table. Your goal with painting more seems to be something fast that looks good on a table top. Sacrificing the nuance for more speed and less effort, achieving a high contrast and high impact look. Trovarions tutorial wasn't a bad video, its just not for you. Understanding the target audience of a video is very important when looking for tutorials and a skill many should work on. I'm not watching midwinter minis to help with my competition piece for example.
I'm kinda of the same view as everyone else... As someone who paints where's your perfect model? People have different styles. You can look at a model and like some bit and others not so much. You take the bits you like and you adapt it to yourself, your own style. She's got battered brushes and some of them I'd throw in the bin and she still pulls paint jobs together. Then again as a painter are there some things you get right - in your mind - and other things you don't do as well. Something a bit more constructive might be a bit more helpful to both you and her. I'm subscribed to her and not to you and based on this video I won't be subscribing to you because I like her attitude much more than yours. Maybe that's something to think on going forward.
Ah, a hate filled video of a painting snob babbling about how he doesnt like something. Let people enjoy things. You dont see me making videos about how obnoxious the constant limey accents are in every gamesworkshop video. Thank god for Kitten, Bricky, Dante, Brad, Eric and the like. If i have to listen to any more rrrrrrrrolling ARches, Baldimumble, or the high lord of "wafflin" ill go mad.
You don't need tape to paint hazard stripes, every video you've criticized for doing this have look perfectly fine. That proves you don't need tape. Except the feral painter which looked awful.
Don't really get why you'd make hate video for a young energetic fan creating content and bringing new generations into the hobby. Last I checked you don't need to be a pro painter to create content, and frankly her energy and effort is more entertaining than listening to some bitter dour nerd trying to gatekeep...
I really want to get into Turnip28 from the moment I saw that Bruva Alfabusa battle report. I'm going to build a couple of squads because I'm running a game of Traveller 2e, and I'm using the setting of Austerlitz as a planet my players can go to.
The Zeno Clash games may prove good inspiration for further Turnip28 ventures! Loads of fascinating freaks, horrors, abominations and chimeras. Ranging from the caricatural to the animalistic to the much more difficult to define. The prequel Clash: Artifacts of Chaos has the likes of an arrogant boomerang-throwing goose woman, a very fat turkey man with mushrooms growing on him who is probably a cannibal, a three-legged blue moose man with a face like a flatfish that was mashed into his torso, a yellow toad creature with a nose ring who inhabits a barrel and slaps folks with a frying pan, and more. (such as a big buck-toothed ogre with a headpiece that looks like a dog cone half-fitted over his face, and a fetish for making pigeons bleed.)
This video convinced me not to drill me barrels, not because I don't think it looks good (I do), and not because I can't be arsed (I can), but because I would rather throw myself off a building than risk having other people think that I agree with this guy.
Were did you get the part about the cables on the inside of thigh? I"m pretty sure none of the GW models of mk V has them ,hell even the artwork you've shown doesnt.
