@-Benedict 3 года назад

Great stuff, Guy. I've been using a very similar recipe for some time now - the only difference is I use half a pipette full of acrylic flow improver instead of dish soap. A bit more expensive yes, but doesn't foam up.

@TylerProvick 3 года назад

"DIY" in this case means use a product specifically formulated for this purpose but not universally known within the mini world. BTW, instead of soap, try flow aid from the same manufacturer. It does the same thing with less extra additives that aren't needed.

@Marconius6 Год назад

I was about to say this, using airbrush flow improver seems like a better idea than putting orange-scented dish soap into your expensive mini paints.

@flatline42 2 года назад

Good video! If you don't use medium at a high rate then consider using distilled water to keep things nice and neutral. I also use flow-aid from Liquitex instead of dish soap. Less bubbles. 10-1 ratio of water to flow-aid, then 1:1 matt medium to your special water. Little more expensive but it's *really* really nice goop that lasts a long time.

@hoshi314 Год назад

can i use flow improver from winsor newton instead? for some reason that is the only one i can find

@ColonelSandersLite Год назад

@@hoshi314 You didn't get a response so I'm just going to say this - Probably. You'll have to try it and test to confirm. *Most* art supply acrylics are compatible with each other for the purpose of mixing things. They *may not* be compatible with your stuff made for modelling though. One example I know of off the top of my head, because I keep abusing it, is that vallejo's medium is not compatible with daler rowney's acrylic ink medium. I found that one the hard way as it kept clumping and clogging my airbrush. There is a useful way to abuse it though. Let's say, on your wet palette, you brush mix a bit of vallejo red ink and a bit of fw yellow ink. You get an orangey mix that will go on with splotchy colors. Mostly orangeish with red and yellow splotchy areas. This can be abused for the purpose of color modulation. I happen to know the tamiya stuff is some kinda weird chemistry and doesn't like to play well with others in general too. Note though that this information applies to mixing wet acrylic mediums. I have never had a problem with compatibility when putting something on top of a dry acrylic. There may be something on the market out there that will cause problems though.

@BarokaiRein 3 года назад

This made me start using my vallejo thinner medium for stuff other than airbrushing. I wouldn't thin literally everything with medium but for glazes, especially mixed glazes it's just way better than water, behaves well on a wet palette as well.

@AKKK1182 3 года назад

I've had some issues with using tap water to thin paints and acrylic thinner tends to either wash them out too much or dries too fast. Tried this out with Vallejo matte medium and it's almost magical. The coverage is amazing and it makes the paints act almost like contrast paints which again is amazing for zenithal base coats. Thank you very much!

@SaraGrapes 3 года назад

Hey Guy! I found your channel a few weeks ago when I was looking to get back into mini painting. I love your videos. Your tips are super accessible for newbies and I love these sorts of money-saving hacks. I also love Penny's reactions to some of the sillier/incredibly stupid parts of WH40k. The reason I got back into mini painting was that I found a Blitz Bowl Season 1 game on sale and I thought it would be a good game to play with my less nerdy cousins at our Thanksgiving family reunions when everyone's watching the game (I'm USA based, if you can't tell). Since my family is from Chicago, I of course did the human team as the Bears. They turned out great, but it took some experimenting to properly mix up a Dark Navy color (using Army Painter paints). I was wondering if you had any tips on mixing paints? Like an easy way to find the right ratio of bottle drops? (Any other viewers, like if you'd also like to see this video!) Thanks, Sara
