If you have a project that needs to use superglue or so other long curing time adhesive, I recommend using a container filled with rice to nest the model and support the pose. Rice has the benefit of being normally easy to remove. This is what museums have done for decades.

Great video! You actually can sand and drill bondic. I’m a huge fan, been using it about a month now on various stuff. Love that it’s non toxic (when so many uv resins aren’t). But you’re definitely right- it doesn’t remove…like ever.

Bought a few of their products. They have a mirror paint. It uses white spirit as solvent. It is very shiny.

@rallyfeind Год назад

Maybe you are wondering because you never looked...it has been in videos up to 3 years ago across major painting channels on a basic search in youtube. Many things that aren't sponsered only get little mentions unless it is a buying list. Especially if the videos aren't able to get the click engagement that the rest of art scene is enjoying for the same products. Basically the only miniature vids that get boosted are warhammer related and in the thumbs.

@krzysztofmathews738 Год назад

Agreed on the Golden High Flow acrylics. Definitely a fan here. While it is likely not as black as the Japanese paint, one version of black that I have been quite happy with for brush use is from the Golden SoFlat line. It gives an absolutely wonderful matte finish. As a general caveat, their SoFlat line is ONLY for brush painting, as the pigments for many of the paints in that line would be toxic if aerosolized through an airbrush.

@Tango_41 Год назад

Piggybacking on this, Ninjon pointed out that Golden High Flow’s Titanium Buff colour is an almost perfect match for Citadel’s Wraith Bone colour for those of us on a budget!

@MrCADupin Год назад

The SoFlat line has cadmium in some of the reds, yellows and oranges (clearly identified in the names). Liquitex acrylic Gouache has similar properties to the SoFlat line and has reds, yellows and oranges that replicate the cadmium pigments but without cadmium (also dropper bottles).

@TheRobuzz Год назад

Golden SoFlat black is amazing for finishing your base rims! Highly recommended.

@jtwernbold Год назад

Be careful with fluorescent paints: they are NOT lightfast, meaning they’ll fade and lose their vibrancy in just a couple of years. To slow this down, store miniatures painted with fluorescent paints in dark boxes away from the light. The artist paints (Liquitex, Golden) typically have the ASTM lightfast rating on the bottle, and fluorescent paints always have the worst possible rating. Hobby paints don’t list it but use the same pigments and suffer from the same problem.

The dremel and the resin pen are the most likely things I'd add to my collection, since cleanup and drilling/pinning are the bane of my existence as well, especially where metal models are concerned. And is it me or do you always find mold lines in the worst places they never were before *after* you prime your minis?!

I always remove mold lines, prime, then remove more mold lines.

Be very careful, things happen "fast" with spinning tools and your skin is a much softer material. I enjoy building so i tend to take it slow. I will give a metal model a once-over with a wire brush to really highlight the mold lines.

Do I have to thin the golden high flow colors to use them with my airbrush for undercoating ? It seems that this is not necessary to avoid clogging, but is it necessary for the result ? Thank you for your videos, each one shows me how much I have to learn.

@lovemysi07 Год назад

@davidc3150 Год назад

Great video and you are beautiful as well. Question. What speed do you usually use when working the dremel with your pieces? I see this one goes from 5000 rpm. This one in particular is not sold in my country but i am looking for substitutes and some start around 8000 rpm or 10k . Thats why i ask to see if it would be too much and damage the pieces

@benmiles00 Год назад

Ah has! An engraving tool. That's a great idea. I was looking at Dremel kits or other rotary tools. I'll see if I can find on cheap in Australia. The postage for a small tube of BLK 3.0 was double the cost of the paint to get to Australia so I'm using Dulux Theatre Black instead. It's not nearly as good unfortunately but if I start doing more dioramas then I think it will be good enough.

@piptarou Год назад

I know we all lack safety sometimes, please wear a mask when sanding/drilling resin models! Resin dust is toxic when inhaled and fine particles will kick up like airbrushing particulates. For hobbyists without a mask, you can do this in either a well ventilated area or put a drop of water on to make the particles "stick" to the model. Also wear safety glasses if you don't wear glasses. As a side note, I love Bondic! I also can't wait to paint the corrupted Dasher! It looks so dang cool!

@LylaMev Год назад

I did wet the resin before I started sanding it! I filmed it but didn't include it; but I should have at least put in a bit of text about it in the video.

I would personally vouch for a rotary tool like a dremel or proxxon, since they're more common and will be usefull for more than just our hobby. Then again, I still refuse to use these tools on miniatures, since they're better at messing things up, than fixing things, but that's just me...

@dougsundseth6904 Год назад

Fluorescent pigments are inherently fugitive. They will rapidly fade when exposed to light. They're pretty for a while, but I'm not interested in a mini that looks great for a year or that has to be stored in the dark. That said, Golden So-Flat paints are really, really good. Like any artist's paint, you really don't want to eat them, though. You can use the Bondic UV pen (I have one), or you can use 3D printer resin and a UV flashlight. One of these is cheaper and comes in a variety of colors. And if you already have a resin printer, the dregs of the bottles are functionally free. I've never found typical rotary tools to be useful. Their lowest speed is much too high for most of the things I want to do with minis. (Note that I got my first Dremel about 50 years ago; it's not a new subject for me.) OTOH, the Wowstick was remarkably good, though I think it's overpriced. Because of my bone-deep skepticism, I never would have purchased it, but when I received one as a gift, I was really surprised at how well it worked. If you can get Black 3.0 (or Vantablack) to work and not be incredibly fragile, you're doing better than I can. Kudos.

If you are going to use a rotary tool or other similar device with metal then eye protection is highly recommended. You really don't want to require a doctor to remove shards of metal from your eyes, it is very unpleasant! Eye protection is probably advisable for plastic as a bit of plastic in your eye would equally not be pleasant.
