Just a tip for using Vallejo Metal Color paints - you want to wick away the excess moisture when you're using them in a brush. They're diluted for airbrush use, so they're quite hard to control and much less opaque otherwise - just touch your brush to a paper towel for a second or so before you paint and you'll find they're anything but. Vince Venturella has several videos on how to get the best out of them:)

2:55 - you want to spray outside and then leave your models outside for 10-30 minutes to let them degas. Some paints may take longer. Then you shouldn't have too much of an issue with odours in your office.

@rasmusolesen5307 2 жыл бұрын

I agree that spray painting outside is the ideal approach, but there are so many reasons why that might not be a possibility for some people. Most neighbors don't like spray dust for example.

@idontwanttopickone 2 жыл бұрын

@@rasmusolesen5307yeah, I appreciate that. But I think it's probably easier for people to spray outside than inside - just do it outside at night on some derelict land in the middle of nowhere. But seriously, if you can't spray outside, at least do it in a room you can air out and leave your models in there with the windows open and a fan going for an hour or so. You definitely want to wear a mask if you are spraying models inside, especially if it's something as large as a titan. Trust me your lungs are way more important than any model.

Tip from a mechanic that knows hydraulics, a small nick in a cylinder rod will lead to a leak, causing dust to gather in the run of oil that works it's way out in the nick. To make this part of the weathering, you can put a small ding in a rod and leave the rod shiny, but make a run of oil at the lower end of the rod with lots of dark mud/dust.

If you're planning on weathering that monster with dust tones, I can highly recommend the ultimate modelling products weathering washes, they're a clay based pigment in a water soluble medium, so once you put them on, you can re-activate them with a damp paint brush to make nice streaking effects, they airbrush reasonably well too, so that can speed up the application and go best over a gloss/satin surface, a Matt surface will grip better making them difficult to re-activate and remove, and the clay pigment is heavy so you'll have to shake the bottle up a bit every now and then

Seeing as you mentioned your Blackstone Fortress videos, I just wanted to say that those vids got me back into the hobby after a break of around 20 years. The last thing I had painted as a kid was 2nd edition Space Hulk but only the Terminators and about 3 genestealers. Since getting back into it I've managed to paint the Blackstone Fortress set (the last few minis being far better the first few), some Necrons in the classic silver and green and have just started with the kill team starter set (terrain only so far). Thanks again for reminding me how much I enjoy painting these models and for your speed painting tips which have been a massive boost for my painting confidence 👍

Hi Guy! Awesome content yet again, thanks! Quick tip if you're going to work with stencils (most people make the mistake), is to start with an initial layer of the original paint. This will seal in the edges and prevent any paint from leaking under the stencils! (also works great for when you're painting rooms and need to tape off an edge for different colours). Cheers and looking forward to the next content!

So you could actually go all in on a super grim-dark rusty, barely colorful model - a few splashes of color to break it up, but mainly via flaky rusted-through panels, make it look like a super grim murder-machine caked in blood, oil, verdigris and rust. I think it'd be a super nice piece. But that's just what I'd do, I feel like everyone's titan is always a really personal build.

Some high temperature tips: Drink lots of water, like absolute loads. Try and find someplace with a crossbreeze, it will keep the air around you from becoming stifling, and will help the sweat on your skin evaporate, cooling you down. I also recommend not wearing much in the way of clothes, but if you do, they should be light colored, preferably nylon types and fairly tight fitting, so your sweat will soak them and still be able to keep you cool.
