You're absolutely right, watching makeup tutorials is what made me more confident in painting faces so they look decent. You couldn't force me to paint in eyes though. Not a chance.

Yay! Citadel paints! I love when you do that brand of paints.👍🏽☢️

floofy gate 2022... love the work on this piece. Well Done

Looks bloody ACE m8ty, all I can hear in the background is a wookie Growling and Han shouting calm down Chewie you know she will get us out of here :)

Very nice! In regards to thinning your paint to milk consistency is good advice for airbrushing, but certainly not for brush painting.

Ok the main thing I got from this video (awesome as ever!) is that your using a paint brush cover tube to keep the pot open...awesome! 😀

Nice work Sonic.

Looks incredible 🔥

I really wish someone had’ve clarified the “thin your paints” advice to me when I was a kid. I wasted so much time building up like 5 layers of Dark Angels green to get a solid base coat for every marine.

I'm a real masochist. I have zero skill at painting minis, despite having tried many times over the past 40 years, but I can't help watching "how to paint minis" videos. Love how this turned out. Nice job.

Funnily enough in Finland vallejo and army painter are usually more available than citadel products since at times GW has had some major issues with shipping etc (since the UK decided to leave the EU).

Looks great , you do extremely excellent work, cheers to you 🍻. May the fourth be with you always. 😁 🍻😁

Love the detail tips you did on this Han. It's gonna help lots when my Bad Batch guys come in.

This is a very realistic sculpt. Your paint really makes this figure look great! Thanks for sharing this.

I always enjoy your painting videos, no matter the subject!

Very nice. I'm really impressed by your ability to do faces.

13:04 Sage painting advice!

9:47. It's thinned down. But I'll allow it.

Love the sculpt and the paint job. Thanks for the video👍🏻

Love star wars but I have enough figures to paint so wont be going to them, Excellent stuff I love the poofy Hair Brilliant figure expertly painted.

Darn I'm loving this so much! :D I need to get my hands on this model soonish :D

Thank you , Troy . 🐺

You only thin paint to a milky consistency when glazing. The purpose is to add transparency to take advantage of underpainting. It's the same consistency as contrast paints which are also exploiting transparency to create the designed effect.

Thanks for the video. I'm sure I've said it before, but I love your teaching style and painting style. You're very approachable and warm and your models always look fantastic - how realistic everything always looks. Not as painterly or stylized as some of the other painters out there - which is also great, but your look is what I really want to get down.

Very interesting, I've been on a long break from painting due to ruining a project and I gotta say, that comment on thinning paints resonated with me. I'm a little fed up with spending so much time trying to get a consistant layer when I could've just done it less as long as I get it off my brush. Thanks again! Though I do find it strange that they never released an "Smuggler" Han Solo in legion; it's always his endor fatigues.

The contrast medium mix would never have occured to me. I'm definitely going to try that. Also, why has it never occurred to me to prop open the citadel lids with a stopper. Mini looks fantastic.

Looks more like David Hasselhoff!

looks awesome. how did you shade his hair?

This is another great tutorial, pity that these figures are too big (almost 1/48!), if only they were in 28/30 scale. I think that if they were made compatible with other minis could sell more

Great tutorial, as usual. Could you post the Vallejo Colors in addition of Citadel ones?

Han didn't shoot first, he shot. I think it is Han from ANH as he's wearing gloves and i think it was the only film where he did.

What a nice surprise to wake up to! Wonderful video as always :) The advice on watering down your paints was extremely welcome! As someone who only got back into the hobby a few years ago, I've never gotten good results with ultra-ultra-watered down paints, and found myself keeping my paints a bit thicker than "milky." But that left me wondering if I was doing something wrong to not be getting the best results with "properly" watered down. Glad to see that wasn't the case! As for the pockets on the back? I always thought those parts were reinforcing panels - sort of a cheap and easy way of stitching the vest's pieces together - or padding. And remember: Han shot first.

Thanks a big bunch for the video, Troy. Seriously there is so much in every video helping me painting my minitures better. I also have a 3D printer, but mine is not near good enough to print that level of detail. May I kindly ask you to do a walkthrough of you printing a miniture? Nozzle size, material and all that jazz? Anyway, thanks for all your hard work 😀

High standard as usual but the sculpt is inaccurate - he should have a great big red light sabre in his gut and be in the process of saying "aww you've stuck me u f***er ya, ye are no son o mine" or something to that effect if I recall that gonads up of a movie correctly. Correct me if needs be someone.

I think that's padding on the back of his vest.

how do you maintain sharp points on your brushes?

Can you post some photos on your insta comparing him to other rebel troops from Legion?

What brushes do you use thanks

i really love your videos, do you have a patreon?
