Thank you very, very much. Its comments like this that keep us going, we are often puzzled by how sometimes low effort content can go so viral (not look at anyone in the hobby space but KZfaq in general). Sometimes we have big success other times things don't 'click off' the way we hope. So comments like this really do mean a lot. If you want to help, the biggest thing you can do is share, share this video. That tells the algorithm that hey, people are sharing this off-platform. Thank you again for the comment and hope you have a great day

@@WhatareyouPaintingnow I just appreciate the considered and researched detail in the explanation. There's a lot of hyperbole and posturing out there in hobbyland, and this was just an enjoyable, straightforward explanation of what painting our minis can be... Without the narcissistic and imbalanced tendencies of some channels out there. The enthusiasm and energetic delivery with which you deliver the subject matter is also tip-top and refreshing. I particularly appreciate the well-structured flow of your videos; clear and concise - cheers!

I have't painted any in more than 20 years, it's only now, at 35 years, back in it, in peace with my poor skill, that i m finely happy with my minies ^^

Sorry could someone explain which lighting cast by the plasma pistol is the correct one and why? It seems like the weaker light would only spread to the area around it and the brighter light would be reflected on more surface area. Didn't quite catch a distinction or error that is supposed to contrast and distinguish them.
@WhatareyouPaintingnow7 ай бұрын
Hi Yuli yes I can definitely see your confusion there. The correct one would be the weaker light, because the light source (plasma pistol) is not very large and based on its position the glow would not be able to reach as far as the right arm of the space marine. So if we treat the plasma gun as the secondary light source (other than the main overall light which is cast on the space marine itself) it would only cast its light around the area closest to the plasma's glow. I hope that clarifies things ~Sunny
