Finding the best Miniature Paint for you - feat. New P3 Paints review 

... or life, in general. 😊

yes, exactly that.

Thank you Paul!

Glad you enjoyed it!

I appreciate it!

Thanks W 🙏

Exactly :) Thanks dp 🙏

Thanks man! Yes, it’s a great store!

I appreciate it Doug

Thanks Luke I appreciate it

I appreciate it Paul 🙏

I was kind of hoping for something I did not agree with as much… so yes, it was a tricky balance as I don’t want to come across as “someone payed me to say this paint is good”

Thanks B 🙏

Thanks HB! Hope you are well

Thanks G. If you do zenithal priming I find the SoFlat white (diluted a lot) one of the best whites to use.

Thanks Jamie 🙌

Hah! Thanks N!

I belive I’ve done one or two wetblend videos in the past. Have a search on the channel :)

I was rather surprised how “thin” and goopy that orc green colour was.

Thanks Brian I really do appreciate it.

Please spread :) 👌

Thank you Mark! I do belive I spotted some good Vallejo Maroon when looking at the paints in the hobby store for this video

As long as I’m making you want to paint then it’s: mission successful. Thanks T!

No independent stores around?

@52Miniatures there are a couple but none have any of the other brands I'd consider using. They have more train/airfix hobby brands which I'm sure are great but for some reason I avoid them.

Thank you very much!

I appreciate it P 🙏

Thank you for the support! I hope you soon find yourself holding a brush and a mini

Thank you very much!

Thanks Isi!

Glad it was helpful!

Me too Nikki, I think the other qualities of the paint made me paint a little different and I like the feeling. The black however does bother me, like reflections in the paint makes the black kind of not black. I’m working on an another type of model right now, more like a larger display model. Still using the p3 paint but this one I’ll probably varnish matte in the end.

Great green!

I appreciate it John 👍

Thanks You!

Thank you kindly V

All good! Hope you are well too

There is a link in the description I believe

It’s a great store!

I appreciate that

Thank you! 🙏

@@52Miniatures you are very welcome, kind sir.

Thank you humbly Dan 🙏

I think as “toys” go, the colours are well matched. There’s a lot of schemes here, a lot of paints that will go well together. I hope you’ll enjoy them.

@@52Miniatures I'm looking forward to them and what new things they'll enable me to do.

Have you tried the new paints T? I’m curious to hear why you don’t like them.

@@52Miniatures no but until I see them consistently in stock everywhere I’m not interested. , the old paints were never in stock and I’ve had mixed dealings with steam forge before. It’s an easy pass for me as someone with a large paint collection already.

Have you tried the paints J? I think they are pretty fun

@@52Miniatures No. And I won't. I had order some of the last batches of P3 paints just before they completely pulled them off the market before reintroducing them switching them over to the dropper bottles. Unlike the ones I had before they were super thin like water and completely useless until I had allowed them to thicken in the open air for an hour. The flesh was the worst, but they were all really bad and that's not how they were in any previous batch I had order. It was obvious to me that the mixture was thinner to accommodate the new dropper bottles they were planning on switching to. Paint should be capable of impasto and the new batch certainly was not. I don't want every paint to be a glaze. I want to be able to modify the paint as I work. But either way it doesn't matter. As a production artist I need paint lines that never change. These companies do the exact opposite of what the users want. We just want CONSISTENCY so that if we like a paint it remains on the market unchanged throughout our lifetimes and can become a staple of our palette. Both Games Workshop, Vallejo, and now P3 has betrayed their customer base by making formula changes that literally nobody asked for except talking heads on youtube and they've admitted they've done it for marketing purposes as youtubers will review their new lines which they hope will temporarily boost sales. It's a bad business practice as whatever you gain in new customers you lose in old ones.

@@jeremiahembs5343 I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about, P3 was never "completely pulled off the market before reintroducing them switching over to dropper bottles". P3 has never been available in dropper bottles. Maybe you're mixing up your hobby paint companies.

@@tinyfishhobby3138 The new P3 paints are available in both dropper bottles and paint pots. And yes, the original P3 paints were pulled off the market for a while and were unavailable as they went out of production for a while until this new reformulation. I got some of the last of the original line and some of the paints I ordered were not available even though I ordered some of them in boxed sets so they refunded my money for the ones that weren't available. The paint has been reformulated according to the interviews given to the owners to carry more pigment. As an artist I stay pretty well informed about the availability of my supplies.

@@tinyfishhobby3138 "P3 has never been available in dropper bottles." They are now as I said. Check the crowd funding site.

As I said in the video, it’s not the same formula :)

He looks a lot like my yoga teacher now. Though less tattooed. Equal zen however. No judgement on either front or capacitative quality or manner of ones chosen hairstyle.

Tattoos huh… I’ll look into it
