The easiest hobby tip I can give for cheap tools: Look for tools from other hobbies. Makeup brushes are great dry brushes. Makeup sponges are great for removing excess oil washes. Makeup cleaning pads are great for getting your dry brushes ever so slightly damp. Pastels are great for making your own pigment powder. You can either shave them down with a hobby knife, bash them in a plastic bag, or even get a dedicated coffee grinder and get really really fine powder. You have total control with the exact color you get. Ever wanted an alien green or purple pigment powder for a base? Paint bottle holders- if you are like me you have WAY too many bottles of paint (I have close to 200 bottles, send help). A cheap storage alternative is actually also from the world of makeup. Nail polish stands, you can get one that holds 96 bottles for $12. You can also find fancy rotating ones for much cheaper than the hobby equivalent ones.

I switched from corks to Demijon rubber bungs. You don't need to glue the pins in, just cut them at an angle and push them with pliers. Also, use 1mm florist wire, NOT paper clips, the end of your clippers won't end up on the other side of the room. Rubber bungs don't crumble like corks do either

My newest favorite bit of kit is one of those silicone kids popit fidget toys that were all the rage a couple years ago. You know the things that are a bunch of semi circles on a silicone mat that you pop in our out. Amazing for inks, contrast paints and metalics, pretty much anything you dont want to put on a wet pallete, especially if you have tehm in dropper bottles rather than silly pots. Pop them once the paint dries out and it just peels off and its clean and good as new.

I have been interested in the miniature painting hobby for years now, but have been juggling it with 5-6 other hobbies. Finally conceding to the fact that I don't have the time for my wife, kids, and that many hobbies. Painting will be my main focus, so hopefully I can keep myself focused long enough to see some improvement! I set a goal for myself at the start of the year to paint 300 minis... I've painted 10... Still plenty of time, though, especially with the amount of board games' minis I intend to paint! I just received my bottles of Liquitex ink so I can start mixing my own range of colors, so thank you greatly for THAT video, I've been wanting a good way to have a few main colors to make my own range for a long time, but my lack of knowledge as well as fear of wasting tine, money, and resources testing has prevented it. I love painting with inks, but my previous colors were very limiting. I feel like nothing will stop me now, so again, thank you, sir!

Your excitement for a gap filling solution that works brilliantly I totally understand. Three years ago I watched a great bloke who was new to YT and had a vid with the title promise: "Fix anything with milliput! Great trick!" He was dead right, best gap filler ever and makes vallejo plastic putty seem like old colgate Great bloke, I've stayed with him, I'll give you a clue: "Hello guys, Marco here..." Mate, don't gloss over this, it's one of the best things the maestro ever taught me and you deserve millibutter in your life
@thestateofplay2023
@thestateofplay2023 11 месяцев назад
I love Marco and have watched everything he ever put out - twice! But I’m a little bit older than him and used milliput back in the 80s. My grandad used to use it on Tanks and gave me some. I found it too crumbly, doesn’t always harden fully and still requires a few tools to squish into gaps. It was originally for flexible car body repairs in the early 70s. It’s the one and only thing I’ve ever disagreed with Marco on. Putty and wet brush. Done. Rather than squeezing, kneading, cutting, pushing, squishing, moulding and potentially sanding. Marco’s early videos used sand and grit on bases. But today, he’s got tubs of AK and Vallejo texture pastes. I’d hazard a guess even Marco would concede plastic putty gets the job done infinitely quicker thesedays . 😜👍🏼🤣
@philgee486
@philgee486 11 месяцев назад
@thestateofplay2023 All that you say is 100% true and I'm older than dirt, so old there used to be only green stuff and milliput. Green stuff is vinyl and annoying and milliput is crumbly and crap. I use magic Sculp for sculpting, wouldn't touch milliput. But, watch the vid, this just isn't milliput as you've ever known it, trust me, you'll be very glad you did

Awesome video and some great ideas there. On the subject of gap filling although plastic putty is ok; I find sprue goo better, easier and already on hand. (As opposed to a separate purchase.) The main trick here is after wiping away the excess simply use some regular plastic cement to smooth it out. Thanks for posting.

@@thestateofplay2023 I use a little too much then wipe away the excess with a shaped qtip (conical as opposed to the regular ones.)

Great video and information passed on. It may have already been said here but a standard 'lead' pencil works great for highlighting edges to give the impression of painted metal wearing down to what's underneath and making your own 'sprue goo' from half finished jars of plastic cement are DIY solutions if budget/product availability is a concern.

Your fancy new endcard killed my computer. Screens just plain stopped working. Also, how dare you call out my cutting mat abuse!? Best part is I already own an everything resistent dirt repellent mat for soldering on that everything wipes off cleanly anyway. Really should use that for painting. Then again a month into my current mat it's still completely clean so maybe I'm fine but saying that seems like tempting fate, or the cat, whichever gets me first. For my purposes the pencils are probably the idea I'll use most, I just never considered them.

This was a great video, but who cares if there's paint on a cutting mat, or anywhere else on my painting desk? It's my painting area it would be odd if there was no paint. Having paint on the mat does not ruin it, it's just paint, it doesn't adversely affect the mat in any way shape or from. It's like not having old dry paint on your dry palette.

@thestateofplay2023 11 месяцев назад
I guess I must be odd. My paint is on the models. 🤣🤣 Technically though, paint on your mat stops it being perfectly flat, so when you cut, your straight lines aren’t perfectly straight. 😀👍🏼 P.s. I don’t have old paint on my dry palette either. I’m super odd! 🤣

Hmm sponge pen. I've always used sponge with tweezers but that perfect. You know a product is good when it looks so obvious and you say to yourself 'I wish i thought of that'. Slap your logo on there and watch the millions roll in
@thestateofplay2023
@thestateofplay2023 Год назад
I used to do the tweezers thing too. But found it less accurate and unless you have those “reverse” tweezers, I just kept dropping the sponge when my aged fingers got cramped. Looking at what GSW charge it’s less millions and more “price of a happy meal”! 🤣

5:31 dude whats the secret to smoothing??? I picked this up off Amazon a while back and im struggling to get the finished joint smooth...
@thestateofplay2023
@thestateofplay2023 Год назад
Hmm, I just use a damp flat brush. Not the same brush we paint with, with the point. The flat type with really, really soft bristles. Might even be worth a trip to the make-up aisle for a small eye make-up brush. Always seems to just smooth it right out. If you do use the pointed type brush I’d smooth it with the side (like edge highlights). Just experiment with how damp you have the brush.

Wait a minute ... You said that you don't glue your minis to their bases ... But the minis being primed on Lucille are clearly based ... And you rotate the handle so the next minis are upside down and subject to the magic of gravity ... No blu-tack is that strong ... What dark wizardry is this?

I do that too. Mostly use wine corks for pinning heads as they’re smaller. As much as I like a good ‘ol drink, I haven’t moved up to drinking out of gallon bottles with gallon corks yet. But I guess there’s time….🤣😜

Just jumping on here to say black bases are trash. Nobody outlines art with black anymore so bases shouldn’t be black either it’s too harsh. I go for a dark chocolate or a dark reddish brown (same one I outline with) or a dark sea green…whatever the miniature demands. For my bloodbowl teams I use bright colours that match the teams colours or augment them. They are wonderful and have so much character

Ok so 1 piece of feedback. From your thumbnail I can't tell at all that this is about warhammer, but rather woodworking. So if I am not already your subscriber or know your channel - I am scrolling past. You are misding a potential audience. That's it, all I wanted to say.
@thestateofplay2023
@thestateofplay2023 Год назад
Thanks. But in my defence, it’s not about Warhammer. It’s about hobby tools. These tools can be used in anything from Doll’s House modelling to painting WW2 tanks. I had hoped the big “8 hobby tools” and the video title might have given it away. 😜🤣 I love Warhammer but I also paint Mantic, boards games, dioramas and occasionally the walls in my house 🤣 so I went for a catch all approach. Hope that helps. 👍🏼

Totally understand. But sadly on RU-vid it seems you have to “play their game” or your videos disappear into non-viewed, algorithm ignored obscurity. And at that point, no ad revenue = no more videos. And you’re sitting in the dark at home with the electric bills piling up. 🤣
