BLACK FRIDAY! WOO! Lots of things are happening at Miniac HQ so here's the big Black Friday post explaining it all: 1. Everything on my webstore is 20% off (even the new stuff). This will be the first time items like The Duchess and the digital course for The Duchess will be on sale since they came out. The same is true for the podcast merch! To get 20% off on teespring, you need to type the coupon code "TUP2020" in at checkout. 2. I have a new shirt and it's not black (for all 3 people that have asked for a nonblack shirt). It represents how your backlog is always trying to literally murder you. 3. The podcast has a new shirt and it's a glorious homage to tendies! 4. I have a PDF guide on how to paint The Duchess! This is great if you aren't sure if the digital course is for you, and you want a smaller investment. 5. International Shipping is cheaper on orders under 1lb! Store: miniac.co/ Podcast: teespring.com/stores/trapped-under-plastic

@herald0fmanwe 3 года назад

Just bought the pdf, and I have to say the production quality is top notch! Worth it for the first few pages of technique descriptions alone. I hope it sells well and you consider doing the occasional pdf guide for mini painting in the future.

@dannyeccles1894 3 года назад

Hang on, did you say that a static grass applicator is a crazy buy? Didn't you recently purchase a plastic cutter thingy? That you admitted you'll hardly use on your recent trapped under plastic? I picked up a small one for doing bases for around £20, I'm not sure what that is in dollars, but I doubt it's as much as you've spent on some of your toys.

@dannyeccles1894 3 года назад

The static applicator I have is the PECO SCENE PSG-3 Pro grass precision applicator. Cheap, and perfect for bases. I put a straightened out paper clip in the crocodile clip to help get the charge where you need it. Highly recommend if you can get it that side of the pond.

So true 😆 Yet also makes sense. In miniature, that real stuff just looks... odd, in that scale. But yeah I've taken white things, coated them black, and then worked my layers and brushing up until the final layer was... white again 😛

Hey Scott! I’m not the best painter, nor am I really a comment type of guy. I’m sure you won’t ever see this but I just wanted to say thank you! You’ve really taught me how to paint and you probably had no idea but I’m a huge fan! Keep it moist lol

You might need a PSA about using paper towels on super glue, at 11:24 or so your paper towel starts to smoke (wisps are at the bottom of the screen), it can potentially burn people/set on fire

Scott, I just noticed that you weren't naming the paints you were using and wanted to let you know that I appreciate that! Too many people get hung up on getting the exact same paint, and I think this helps fight that, so thanks!

@ReddCrystal 3 года назад

Oh thank heavens, another base video. You may remember me from the others, these are the best for figuring out how to base my minis (none of which I am certain of anymore). This is an awesome series.

@jherazob 3 года назад

Extremely nice and usable, i like this series! One thing about the static grass: get an empty herb shaker from the kitchen, but look for one that has the big holes. Wash it well and fill it with the grass, and shake it on the base/terrain with glue already on it, from a height. On the way down many of the fibers will straighten up and end up standing. *Still* not as nice as an actual applicator but works better than just with hands. And for the tube city base, for us cheapskates, while you *can* get a lifetime supply of styrene on a plastics supplies place for the price of a small sheet on a hobby store, you can do this on the cheap with cereal box card, drinking straws and the bodies of q-tips.

@EricsHobbyWorkshop 3 года назад

It looked like all the dirt on the football pitch disappeared when you sprayed it with superglue thin 😂. Whats the name of that circle cutter you used to cut the styrene? It looks cool

@Miniac 3 года назад

It's the "olfa rotary circle cutter". Hi eric!

@ForrTheXP 3 года назад

Aesthetically I love the Dragon's Lair the most. It's simple and really gets the point across Conceptually I love the football turf base. I don't even play Blood Bowl and I knew exactly what that base was for and additionally I've never seen anyone do that before!

@DeathEatsCurry 2 года назад

For the Sports base, you can always use a popsicle stick to put down the clean(ish) line. Saves the finicky process of the masking tape, and you get a popsicle out of it too.

Cobblestone idea. Cut little pieces of sprue roughly the size of cobblestone tiles but not too thin Put pieces in a rocktumbler and you end up with a ton of little natural looking tiles or stones or anything you want to smoothout. A rocktumbler can be a great way to recycle sprues.
