It’s been almost 30 years since I painted a miniature (the days of Goblin Green bases) but I’m thinking of buying a basic paint set and a cool looking model this weekend. Watching RU-vid tutorials can be quite intimidating but seeing you paint great models without an air brush in sight really helps.

@Cornerboy73 5 месяцев назад

Once again Duncan, your timing is incredible. I finally, after about 10 months of trying, managed to get my hands on a Lion miniature and I'm looking to get started on building and painting him. I've been putting it off to be honest, partly due to being busy but also because I confess I'm a bit intimidated by him! I collect Dark Angels so I obviously want him to be the centerpiece of my collection; I guess I just needed to see something like this to help me plan my approach to the task. Now if only I could decide what head option... Anyway, this was great, thank you for the video, I learned a lot here o7

@AverageBritishNerd1138 5 месяцев назад

Phenomenal work Duncan! One thing I've started doing for my centrepiece models, if I've got details to paint after wet-blending the next door area, is to thinly varnish the wet-blended area. That way, the paint's sealed in, and it's easier to wash off any paint if you make a mistake and manage to catch the wet blend area.

Go for it, it's not as hard as you think. We advise using a wet palette if you have one though, it'll make the technique so much easier.

@jamesforbes5616 5 месяцев назад

Awesome Lion, Duncan! I did mine with a greenish tinge to the gold to go with the 'son of the forest' theme, using you're Elrond tutorial for that High Elven armour. Was my first use of TTC's glistening gold, which has become my default go to gold for a great many projects.

@DuncanRhodesDRPA 5 месяцев назад

@HGtheoverlord 5 месяцев назад

Duncan,I would like to ask how to prevent the contrast paint from accumulating on a detail, which will make the color distribution very uneven. However, if it is applied directly to the surface of the model without dilution, the color will be too dark, and there will be obvious reflections. And I only added a little bit of water to make it so fluid that it would easily overflow onto other color blocks.This is a problem I encountered recently while making a batch of lychguard （in a strange way）

@NeroSaberius 5 месяцев назад

Something that needs to be said is that nobody is perfect and neither should your mini. If you are happy with the result but it doesn't look exactly like duncans that is ok. You being happy with it is the most important aspect. Do not judge yourself by the master but by what you think looks cool

@InquisitorBot 5 месяцев назад

i disagree with the sub-assembly choice since his cape could well have been left off and not left any noticeable seams because they get covered up by the shoulder pads, infact its how i painted mine, it also allows better access to the underside of the cloak and his back

@DuncanRhodesDRPA 5 месяцев назад

Its a personal choice, if you're not playing and they stay in a cabinet, then there is no need. If you do decide to varnish, then just do a test first. I also advise using a paint on version as varnish spray is way to temperamental

Why are we wet blending when we can use the washes for the recesses? I tried both methods and the wash method was far quicker and looked far better. Or is that necause im just so bad at wet blending? 😂

@ryankyle2467 2 месяца назад

WARNING: This is a bit longer than I wanted it to be…. Which tells me the chances of my question getting answered is almost none! Unfortunately… but I split it up into 2 parts… where the first part after this is the question and the rest is just rambling about what I’ve tried and why the question even exists! 18:39- So I have a question how you did the green of the cloth (but also, I wanted to save my spot….. because I need to stop painting and run some errands and come back later to follow along for the rest of the video)!?! Now would you have ended with the same results if you painted the same area with either the darkest green or even black and then just wet blend all the way up to the lightest/brightest green?!? Instead of what you did which was paint a mid level green then work your way down to the darkest. And then go back to the original green and work your way back up again (which just sounds like way more steps)!?! So no matter what way I’ve done it, my end results have never looked as good as yours! Even when I follow along step by step 100%!?! But that has a lot to do with the fact that you are a great painter and have been doing this for God only knows how much longer then I have (which I would “maybe” finally be able to say I’m out of the “noob” category and am now in the “amateur” category) and the fact that I’m not using the same brand of paint…… the Necron video of yours that I also did the step by step process with I had to watch the whole video, write down every paint name and convert it to the paints I have which was definitely annoying (and even that one doesn’t look 100% the same, even though it was definitely my best paint job ever)! But I just curious if maybe I’m not understanding the point and that’s why I can’t really take it to the next level….. or if it is just “the paints I’m using”?!?
