I really enjoy your videos. I'm very curious about your choice of brushes. I've been painting for about 1-1/2 total and I feel like I'm doing well because of channels like this. Now I feel like I I've been painting well enough that brush quality matters. If you happen to read this, I'd love to see your hobby station and tools. I love the long format videos as well as the shorts. Thanks for all the inspiration 🙏.

The plastic surgery is my favourite little series. As someone who is also adapting to disability it was very close to home

It was amazing. So good to hear you talk and see you paint like this. All the best to you and everything

Dude seriously story time is the best! You have such a candid way of conveying complex things and an engaging sense of humor, we’d prob watch anything you want to talk about. Your story about our “plastic therapy” hobby really resonates too. I found it after losing nearly everything and digging out of depression during Covid and every time I hear a similar story of what the hobby has done for someone, it’s undoubtably moving. Can’t wait for more vids like this. You’re the hottest new painting KZfaqr and so much better than most. Obvi most of our favs. Lean in man. We wanna blow your channel up so you can be full time and not ever even have to wince at a uk flight so you can go hang w your heroes! Have you built a discord yet? Like where all the Mav fans can hang and build a community around?

Also on your note about building community and learning 10th edition, it might actually pop off if you made shorts and incorporate all your humor in Voice over and editing to learn different aspects of the game. There’s sooo many new people joining or coming back to play in 10th, combined with your painting, might skyrocket growth! And just being so down to earth and earning peoples trust in how fast you became an elite/inspirational painter and teacher that they’d track with you on your journey to become a great player. A student of the game. Imagine the vid recapping placing in your first tournament and how you only started in 10th?! And honestly with your disability that might affect standing for hours, there’s gotta be a badass ergonomic portable rolly stool/chair with great back support you could take with ya!

No shame in my game lol. This stuff is all so common and natural, we should normalize talking about it

@@MaverickNicolson Couldn't have put it better myself. Again; great video. I eagerly await the next.

Its so crucial. When I was initially injured, I couldnt work.. couldnt part take in any of my hobbies. My wife needed to carry most of the groceries. I went from being this big 6'5 "Man" to.. feeling useless. When I discovered mini painting and better yet, found a new way to help people... I felt whole again.

That's the side of injury often forgotten. So glad you found your healing and shared it.

hahaha, thank you, thank you. It was a lot of hard work. Cropping my head and all

Space Hulk special ❤❤

God these comments are gonna have me in tears. Thanks so much.

@@MaverickNicolson you deserve all of it man you truly do

Thanks so much or the kind words man. Appreciate it

It was my pleasure man! Thanks so much for taking me in under your big glorious British wing.

Thats whats key man. You need to have purpose otherwise youll just fall into that trap of feeling sorry for yourself

thanks a lot!

I appreciate that! Just always make sure youre enjoying yourself first. Skill will come with time and practice.

@@MaverickNicolson 😁😁😁😁

thanks brother

So I actually got some help with this and apparently its common for people who have careers in high adrenaline fields. You go from non stop stress to total calm and its so different that it actually causes alarm. Weird hey

Thats why I wanted to share my story. If I can make even one other person feel less alone, its totally worth it!

haha im a fan as well

My days of being embarrassed are long behind me. Its all about being honest and hopefully helping someone else with their struggles

Thanks so much brother, I recognize the name. Appreciate all of your support

Thanks brother! Cov seems to be on its way out. Maybe one or two more days and ill be good as new!

It was! right up until the last day when I started to get random chills and hot flashes lol

Man... this hobby has bailed me out of so many hard situations. Glad it was there for you too

Just gotta treat it seriously and take care of yourself. If ya need a break, YA NEED A BREAK

ah! full circle!

its so addictive but you can tell its so good for your mental health

PICK IT UUUUUPPP!!!!!!!! Glad I could help :)

I WILL PAINT THE BEST VOLTANS THAT THE ANCESTORS CAN OFFER

Thanks so much for the kind comments man, truly appreciated

thank YOU for the support!

Im so glad you found this hobby. I cant explain why but its going to have such a positive impact on your life, I promise you

Haha well at least if it's on the model it feels worth it... But the CHAIR?! Oh hellllll nah

haha maybe I can break into that market of youtubers to fall asleep to?? move aside Luetin!

Well I dont currently HAVE an army BUT.. the plan is to make one for tenth edition. I JUST CANT DECIDE ON WHICH

​@@MaverickNicolsonwith you being the gore and guts specialist, I only see two good options: Imperial Guard, or Tyranids. So many gory yet "functional" model opportunities!

awesome! Im so stoked that you made something that gave you some pride!

haha cov seems to be on its way out! Thanks brother

glad you enjoyed!

Thanks so much brother! I appreciate the kind words. Next time I'm in at miniwargaming studios I'll need to set up a meet and greet for east coast fans! Play some games together and hang out!
