There's an old saying where painting is concerned: "Faces and bases make everything aces." Just pick a couple of details that stand out on a miniature and spend a tiny bit of extra time on really making them pop, and the rest will serve as an interesting backdrop to that effort.

I'm always impressed by anyone who can paint eyes. Also, these Star Wars models you've been painting look like better, crisper sculpts than the actual licensed Star Wars Legion models.

@SonicSledgehammerStudio Год назад

I think part of it comes in that I do my own quality control. 😅 But the prints generally come off very nicely, without a lot of cleanup required.

@michaelpatton4012 Год назад

Thanks, I literally just got these in the mail today, perfect timing

@tk-eva72minis Год назад

Very nicely done. Great print too. 🙌🏻

I don’t know how you continue to manage to post exactly what I need exactly when I need it. I had just decided to pick up my old legion starter set from home and was wondering how to paint my rebels!

@leeperry7068 Год назад

That eye technique was really excellent!!!

@justanothercaptain6566 Год назад

Awesome as always! I really liked how you just fixed your camouflage pattern in real time. We all been there and grabbed a colour that didn’t work out the way we wanted. Who hasn’t? And you fixed it with another colour in seconds, proving that mistakes can be fixed by just painting it over. Cool 😎! Thanks again! Cheers 🍻

I can recommend using acrylic fine point pens for things like camouflage dots and squiggles or any fine lines for that matter. Also soft pencil like B4 used over the top of black weapons to give that underlying metalic look. Thanks for all you do. Regards Lexi

Thank you , Troy . 🐺

@johnkelley9877 Год назад

I like the color scheme and given the backstory it is a good choice. You did a great job on the eyes and having tried that myself I know how difficult it is to paint them. Thanks for sharing this.

@jwchampagne1 Год назад

I was hoping at the back of my mind you would leave the trooper all googly-eyed. I can't help seeing that image in my head.

@andyshaw5378 Год назад

Great video. The dry brushing on this one was awesome, I’ve put those GW paints on my wish list for next time I’m in the store 👍

@Strawfoot Год назад

Thanks for another great painting tutorial!

@Spec0psGrunt Год назад

Eyes are scary to do, but I think I can try them now. Great video as always!

@thelonepainter4760 Год назад

Nice job on the eyes 👀 👍🏽😊

@Anyway99973 Год назад

Top tier content !

@mg1342mg Год назад

That's a solid paint job that is readily achievable. I really like the palette. I always have trouble making pea dot look random, so I'm gonna try the mouse ear thing.

@alessiodecarolis Год назад

These new Sw minis are astounding, being 3D prints means that you can choose the dimension, contrary to Legion's ones, beautiful but too big. I always liked to imagine a "First Contact" situation, where the rebels steps on '80s Earth, and can be aided by Western industry with uniforms and gears(plus some very experts soldiers!). P.s. cheap make-up brushes are great for dry brushing, normally I wash them with brush soap and a bit of fabric softener, so they' re more durable.

@AnExtrovertPaints Год назад

Technically correct is the best kind of correct.

@eclipped Год назад

This paint scheme will help me immensely! Would you be able to do a sullust rebel color scheme?

@nickdavis5420 Год назад

Oh if your gonna do hobby talk segments can you do a throw back one called when I were a lad.

@SonicSledgehammerStudio Год назад

That's not a bad idea, that one!

@JohnR1298 Год назад

The size of the peak on the hat I still wouldn't paint eyes 😕

@boshuka_games Год назад

Nice video, but also a little bit strange that your choice of miniatures in the past 6 months looks almost identical like my own pile of opportunities in my basement...

@stevebuk100 Год назад

Are these 28mm or 56mm models?

@SonicSledgehammerStudio Год назад

There's a long answer, but Legion miniatures are considered 1/48 scale - they hover around 38mm or so.

@Fluffykeith Год назад

This is going to sound like a super duper noob question, but have you done any videos that focus on how to LAYER stuff like cloth? Because I see a lot of videos and such saying things like "stay away from the recesses" but when I sit down to try and do a cloak or robes or anything with non rigid shape, it's hard to tell exactly where those parts are sometimes.

@SonicSledgehammerStudio Год назад

Unfortunately, there isn't really an answer to this beyond practicing and getting your eye in for it. Since the folds and curvature of any miniature are wildly different to one another, short of demonstrating on individuals exactly how to do it, 'stay away from the recesses' really is the only broad advice that works. Just remember that if you do overdo your layering or highlights, knocking things back with a thin shade will help any exaggerated transitions.
