I'm not sure why your video popped up for me, but I can say as a woodwright ( frame to finish carpentry, fine furniture and cabinets) that it was neat to see your craft. Your attention to detail and design ideas, as well as your " tricks" to gain a desired effect are all things I can appreciate and use in my own line of work. You are a craftsman on your own level, and you should hold your head high with pride.

I don’t play Warhammer. I only stumbled across these videos because I watch a lot of restoration combined with magic/flesh and blood Contant. You’re very talented but what impresses me the most, is how kind you are to the people that initially painted these projects. You don’t discourage anyone from painting and if it fails, you only hope they went out and got something even cooler. Glad to see someone as supportive as you hopefully being a prominent figure in your community.

Looking good dude. I'm really digging the taking on projects others would consider a lost cause and turning them into models people can say looks great. I think a lot of people fear messing up a model, but with the will and some different techniques you can make most things work. Hopefully causes some people to smash through some projects that have been haunting tables for a while

@taurusfiend5836 3 года назад

i think my only critique, and this is coming from someone who has never painted models before, is that the white areas are too white. imo some definition would help make the model look more real and imposing. it is a giant death robot so it would make sense to have shadows in the grooves. i cant remember what the technique is called but its really similar to what you did on the chest and arm blades.

Theres a thing called 3d printing. Theres also another two cool things called stl files and a 3d design program called blender. There you can take your models stl file and change it however you want on blender. Once you're done you can take the new and custom model stl and print it. Presto you got a cool custom model.

I hate to nitpick on such a fantastic job on restoring such a mess of a project, but I would want to go back in with a fine detail brush and some black paint to just to cover up that support wire on the mini's right foot as it connects with the terrain piece, the shine of the metal... it mocks me so!

@Khemri7 3 года назад

Very nice base, but I think the Knight could use something to help tie it to its environment a bit more. One nice trick is to spray a very thin earthy color at low PSI over the feet to give the illusion of a patina of dirt that accumulated from it stomping around. Really helps to make it seem like the piece lives in its world.

@fulldrawpainting 3 года назад

Amazing resurrection of this model. Love the base, and I love the story of the restoration too. I know you were working to a clock here, but just four more hours applying some brushwork to the head and bringing out all the gems would’ve put this entirely over the top. It’s definitely something to be proud to put on the table though, especially given the model’s history.

@Papai_Pai 3 года назад

Normally when you magnetize things most people will just magnetise weapon ports giving you the option to replace them if done correctly it can look really good a little bit of gorilla glue to hold the magnet and place and a little bit of green stuff to smooth out any gaps that are there and it can look seamless

The paint job's overall fantastic, far better than anything I could do, but a small point is that the Soul Gems on the armour probably would've looked better if they had some colour to them. With them being black, they just kind of look like primer parts of the model sticking through the paint job, and something like some red on them might have brought a nice pop of colour in to contrast the green. Sure, it's Christmas colours, but there's a reason they look good together. :p

The green turned out great. I think a bit of off-white on the pure white areas would be good for some definition. Pretty easy to do with an oil wash. The black gem stones would look good on this model with a simple Shifters paint. Jet black gems are kinda hard to pull off they require some paint transition to get the depth. I do get that the eldar players are split between painting them as gems or just lumps in the armor. I'm of the latter myself.

Me a gunpla guy when he broke out the panel liner, "So you have discovered the ancient arts. BUT CAN YOU CLEAN THE PANELS PROPERLY!?!?" Then he used a makeup brush which I have never seen done before. Just use some cotton buds and Tamiya X-20 my dude.

@minisanddragons 3 года назад

what thinner can you use to clean the panel liner on an acryclic base? I am afraid that if I use an enamel thinner it will melt the acrylic paint.

@seanhigby2656 3 года назад

@@minisanddragons as far as I know your best bet with acrylic is one of two ways. Either you could apply the panel liner then us a cotton bud to grab the excess. Or you can spray the acrylic work with a clear and gloss lacquer like MR. SUPERCLEAR Gloss. Lacquers are stronger than both Acrylic and Enamel so if you apply the panel liner over lacquer then use an enamel thinner to clean up the lines, it will not undo any of your previous work. There are acrylic thinners like X-20A from Tamiya, but I don't know if that will remove panel liners since I've never tried it. Also understand that enamel thinners and panel liners do affect bare plastic, it is recommended that you use a lacquer like I mentioned before, because what can happen on bare plastic is it will Crack, melt or misshapen it, kinda like plastic cement. Personally I like the challenge and have found that as long as you wipe off the excess of both the panel liner and thinner it won't run so much and won't break plastic I'd you keep it strictly to the panels, not corners. Hope this helps!
