Thanks so much! It really was a lot of fun... had to make sure I didn't get rusty with that technique. Ba-dum-dum! 🤣 Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
That was an excellent video Jon, I really liked the way the rusting ended up. I also made note of two of the citadel paints you mentioned and I will order them the next time I place an order. Thank you very much.
I'm glad I watched this video. Not that I miss one of yours anyways. I am working on a sopwith camel right now that I want to eventually turn into half of a Snoopy vs. Red Baron that will hang from the ceiling. I'm going to paint the Sopwith yellow like it was in the Snoopy video game. I had already primered black, but I'll hit it with some brown before I go with the yellow. This is all with the assumption that at some point I will be able to get all the seems and holes smoothed out.
Thanks so much for your kind words and for watching the videos I post - I am grateful! A brown primer or base paint coat will definitely make it easier to get the yellow on. Anything that's a bit warmer and lighter will make the yellow go down easier. It sounds like a cool project! Happy day to you!
Pausing at the ~14 minute mark to say I love the discussion about references! Especially the need to look at the big picture and see things from more of an overall view- makes a lot of sense as that's how most of our works are initially viewed- from a distance and as a whole. Okay- starting the video again to listen to the Ork lore and check out the action! (Speaking of lore, have you seen the videos that Leutin09 does? That's what your example sounds like to me)
Thanks so much! I actually learned that concept while in the infantry. A wise NCO told me during land nav "always look back to see where you're coming from. It looks different at a distance." That thinking kinda worked its way in to my model building. :) I have been looking all over for that video. I *thought* it was Leutin09, but I can't find it on the channel. I knw I shoulda bookmarked it! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
@@JonBius oh wow! What a great lesson (for model building and land nav!) Very cool that you could incorporate that into your work and I appreciate you sharing with us on RU-vid. You say the secret is airbrushing 300 models but I honestly think that if I watch 300 videos, maybe I only have to airbrush 30 models! 🤣 Kind of like standing on the shoulders of giants- your content along with many others on RU-vid has certainly helped elevate my skills while saving me years if not decades of self taught practice, trial, and error. Hopefully you happen to come across the original lore video, if I stumble across it in my own RU-vid adventures I'll be sure to drop the link here.
When brush painting, how do you keep different colors of paint separate from each other without masking? I have a hard time when applying this to gunpla.
The short answer - be careful. :) I think keys are to make sure the paint is well thinned so it flows off the brush smoothly, and it's best to use a high quality brush. (Kolinsky or Pure Sable) In a way, works like using an ink pen so you add in your demarcation line, and then paint up to that line. Paying attention to having your hand, brush, and the model itself aligned for the paint stroke is important too. Also - sometimes I add tape not as masking, but simply as a visual guide. I hope that helps - thanks for watching and commenting!
@@JonBiusthank you for your help! I’m trying very hard to try and make acrylic water based brush painting work for gunpla, but I’m struggling to get a clean finish… it comes out a bit textured. I feel like there should be a way to get a smooth surface but Im not sure if what I’m after is really possible with brush painting these kinds of paints, any thoughts?
@@Mr._Gunpla It can be done, but it requires multiple thin coats, allowing drying time between each coat. I think my acrylic paints at least 1 to 1 with water - that's the minimum I start at. In the end, it will never be quite as pristine as an airbrush finish though - but you can get quite close.
