Hello there, and welcome to The Race for Terra, a channel dedicated to one thing above all else: WEATHERING tutorials. In terms of models, I focus on sci-fi and WWII subjects, both for wargames like Star Wars Legion or Bolt Action, and traditional scale models.
Although the majority of my videos are weathering tutorials, I also review new hobby products and publications from time to time.
At present, I have over 100 videos, most of them divided into playlists by genre or topic. For example, I have a playlist just for Star Wars hobby tutorials with over a dozen videos showing you how to weather Star Wars models, step by step.
So, whether you are into wargames or scale models, if you want to up your weathering game and learn more about things like enamels, lacquer paints, chipping effects, rust streaks, and so on, you've come to the right place!
The video is great, gave a nice idea for painting the telemon shoulderpads. One comment I would make is that the pronounciation of custodes - e is not silent, it reads „custodEs”
Hi Andy, I am assuming you mean not actual fabric, but something that is meant to look like it. Yes, it would work physically, but how would fabric have chipping? I’m not sure I understand your question.
My apologies! Yeah, I'm more wondering if the wet effects can reach a 'wet' look to miniature's clothing, like a Krieg great coat. The chipping is something I don't intend on doing with clothes. I was only here for the wet effects lol
Eccentric gentleman indeed! Having had a a couple of beers with the man every day of the Celsius 232 festival, I’m not so sure it’s just a persona, though - although his sense of humor is not for all audiences either! 😁
such a cool guy! inquisitor was my first 40k novel in the midst of the nineties! the entire series cemented a point of view on the universe that stood strong over the decades, making me despise the toays GW universe compared to what greatness we had. thanks a lot for the effort to meet ian!
That echoes my own experience, Armarnis - great minds and all that? 😉. For me, meeting Ian at the Celsius 232 festival was a dream come true! Thank you for your kind words, and happy you enjoyed this!
What an interview! Ian is one of the only authors ever to properly capture the fever-dream aesthetic of early 40k, and despite how derided his books are by modern audiences, they remain some of my favourites that black library has ever published.
TMC made me buy my elgoo Saturn when it released. I'm a patreon ever since. I printed a fair amount, but stopped half a year afterwards. The patreon subscription is still up;)
Hi Maxduro, sorry for the delayed reply, and thanks for the feedback! For the edges I think I would use it with the liquid mask chipping technique I demonstrated here:Star Wars Legion AT-ST | Star Wars Hobby Tutorial Episode 1/16 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5YkWNRB3CHA.html
My lovely Dad was doing this in reverse back in the 80's on trains. He would spray the raised part first and then flow the recessed part with thinned enamel paint by brush. He called the technique flooding. Worked very well.
Hi Matthew, happy to hear that this brought you back happy memories. I think sharing a hobby like this with friends or family is really great. Most people think it's a solitary endeavour, but it doesn't have to be!
@@TheRaceForTerra Oh wow, thanks, means a lot. Although I have played RPG and board games all my life, I’m pretty new to the hobby and having a total blast. Creators like yourself have been so inspiring to me and widen my sights on this hobby.
Hi Mhico, sorry for the delayed reply. It takes a few minutes to dry - when it does, it will become mostly transparent. If you apply it very thick, it can take as long as half an hour, but that's about it. Hope this helps!
Hahah, you are not wrong! I wanted to attend, as a fan, same as I've always had, but to have the opportunity to play CoC with Sandy Petersen and interview three of my favorite authors...that was mind-blowing for me! Sharing that with Lukas a.k.a. Mycroft made it way more fun...and also helped me shed my usual shyness!
Thank you, Nick! The festival ended yesterday, and for us it ended with a bang - I had the opportunity to interview Adrian Tchaikovsky, which was totally unexpected and really cool! All in all, Lukas and I interviewed Ian Watson, Sandy Petersen, and Adrian Tchaikovsky - if you had told me even a month ago that this would happen…I would have told you to lay off the Warpstone! 😄
You can make that base out of cast gypsum plaster then when its fairly firmly set just carve out the cobbles and pavement details. Its both cheap and easy to do.
Hi Tobias, thank you and happy you liked it! No, lacquers have much shorter drying times than acrylic, are far easier to spray, and produce a much tougher finish. Huge difference in all 3 respects.
@@tobiasweyer5063 I think it has to do with the absence of water - lacquer paints have none whatsoever. It's the water that dries up so quickly and clogs up the airbrush, which is why I never use water to thin paints, not even when using acrylics.
Thanks for the helpful video, …but I have to say please oh please don’t add all that crazy loud music ! Why do you do that? Completely unnecessary and in my opinion very unprofessional !
Thank you! My choices as a creator, including the music, always reflect what I value and enjoy myself when watching videos as a member of the audience. Like most Warhammer nerds young and old, I listen to metal music. Sorry that you hate it, but as for calling my use of it "unprofessional", I think that is as ludicrous as it's uncalled for, mate. I actually spend a considerable amount of time with sound editing (incl. the soundtrack), and I'm pretty proud of it. Whether or not the music a creator uses matches your own personal tastes has nothing to do with how "professional" they are. Oh, and by the way, I do this as a hobby...
Sorry if I offended ✌️🕊️. I suppose being a Yorkshireman I tend to say things in a “straightforward”, honest fashion 😂. I’ve no problem with metal music by the way (although It’s not my taste, which is mostly iconic progressive rock from the late 60s to late 70s); and no problem with Warhammer - in fact I used to sell that stuff (and Dungeons & Dragons) when I owned two model shops. I just think that producing videos like you do (as a hobby, which is a wonderful thing to do) surely the aim is to just to communicate and pass on advice experience and encouragement to other people. They don’t really need any backing music to ‘enhance their experience’. They just simply want to pick up the tips and advice - that’s with my marketing hat on. Sorry about that but I’ve had to deal with a lot of focused marketing in senior business positions I’ve had over my lifetime. I’m all about being clear over the objectives; keeping a tight focus; not getting distracted in order to achieve the right outcome. Just how I’m wired 😂 And as for my comment about being unprofessional, I did caveat that it was just my opinion. Anyway congratulations for putting time in to help others!
@@madeinyorkshire52 Thank you for your very thoughtful reply. By the way, I grew up in Spain, but as it happens, my dad's from Otley, West Yorkshire...In terms of music or no music, I'd invite you to check out my last 3 videos (mostly Star Wars-themed one way or another), where I tried atmospheric sci-fi ambient stuff instead - see how you like that. The videos themselves are also waaaay better than the one you commented on, which is quite primitive by comparison!
Hi Fieser, this is an incredibly old video (4 years old now) - do you want to know what varnishes I use NOW, or what I used as part of the project in that particular video? If it's the former, I use mostly Tamiya X-22 with Tamiya Lacquer Thinner for gloss, and Tamiya XF-86 with the same thinner for matt/semimatt. Almost all my more recent videos have a list of materials used, per SEGMENT, on screen.
Now that I've seen this video, I can't find Maskol anywhere, everyone is sold out. Is there a way to use these techniques with Mr Masking Sol? I tried adding water, but it clumped up on the brush pretty badly, I didn't get that smooth application like in the video with Maskol.
