This was such a great episode for me. My wife tried painting minis once. We compromised on a Necron Chronomancer (she wanted to paint a C'tan shard) for her. And when ever I wanted to give any adivse, she was like: "Stop it, you can do it, so it can't be that hard."
@madMARTYNmarsh1981 20 күн бұрын
My wife chose the same model (Chronomancer) for her first miniature. It was just before Christmas 2022 that she started. It is still sitting in the drawer waiting to be finished because she got so frustrated with it. After using the exact same line as your wife 'you can do it so it can't be that hard' 😂 I have managed to rope three of my four kids into the hobby, but I think my wife is a lost cause in that respect.

For a first time painting, this is awesometacular! You managed to paint a smooth and evan coat of paint on the model. a point where first timers always struggle with. also you paint verry precise. no overspilling of colours onto other areas. i would say you have a solid foundation to become a great miniature artist, if you so desire to persue this more. And scott, you should repeat the challange, but together with Ninjon, to have an evan match ;) one with the crappiest brushes and one with all the fine arts supplys

@Misterfairweather 20 күн бұрын
Something I regularly explain to new folks in my other hobby, working on cars, is that you can do a lot of the jobs with basic tools a lot of the good tools will make some tasks faster or easier. Some of these tools make sense to pick up early on because it'll make learning basics easier because you are no longer fighting the tools. I'd say a wet palette and a good variety of "ok" brushes are big areas that make fighting the tools less of an issue.

I was just wondering about this exact thing the other day. I've been collecting a entire studio of high-end gear for a couple of years, but truthfully not painting much. In my perfection-obsessed brain I need to have everything of the highest quality in meticulous order before I even think of starting. So, naturally, I never start. Latest excuse: "I can't just use rattle cans on what seems like thousands of grey minis. I need an airbrush. But not just any airbrush, it has to be... blah blah, and on and on, etc. etc." But you two just inspired me though. I'm gonna stop making excuses and dive in headfirst literally right now as the sun comes up. Keep up the rad content, Scott!

I think she could really do legit paintjobs with a little time and practice. Scott's looks great and it does indeed prove what he was saying about tools in a way. In another way though Amber's proves that tools can make an inexperienced painter do wonderfully. Great experiment.

One of the people that got me into the hobby had a friend that worked at an Apple barn plant. When they'd switch paints in the bottle filling, there'd be some purged mixed colors that were just a little off. So they got bottles of those for free and would give them to friends. I still remember that house full of metal minis painted with those slightly off colors but they looked fantastic. They had a multi tiered lazy Susan that looked like a rainbow because of all the subtle color changes in the bottles. The irony is that the painters than can really make the budget tools shine are those with a lot of experience and can work arund the limitstions, and the best tools let beginners learn without being limited by their tools. But people with experience don't want to be hindered by their tools and beginners don't want to invest a lot of money into something that might not be for them. This also highlights for me how some models have just gotten so fiddly and highly detailed more for macro photography than painting and how important models like this with big simple shapes and wide spaces are for getting people started. Some companies are too focused on making mini perfectly scaled elaborate statues rather than toy soldiers and game pieces for people to play with.
