I try out my new Anycubic Photon Mono X by printing and painting a BIG OL' DRAGON - NO airbrush, and testing out a new method to try to get her done quickly and looking pretty good. Let's see how it turns out!

It's not just the technique that's impressive - it's the overall composition. Being able to get the colors to work together and contrast so well seems equally important as the actual brush skills. Well done!

I have been using oil paints since I heard you and Scott talk about the Dimitri video on the podcast. I immediately bought a thing of Windsor newton oil paint starter set and I have been implementing them ever since . Oil washes are my go to washes now and the oil paint blending has really helped me with non-metallic metal since I can smoothly blend out the brightest white and the darkest dark of the Gradient. Thanks for all your content and fun wit to keep the hobby exciting

This video is really helpful! I’ve collected various paints, inks, and kits for painting across a lot of types of crafting- so seeing you use oils (I have water soluble oils so I will give it try the same way) and acrylic inks (I have calligraphy/ alcohol inks would those work? ) - gives me so many ideas to use what I have and new pigments to use in mini painting

Great video on oils! I'm currently working through two boxes of indominus with every single Marine being a kit bash using strictly oils. It's been an incredible push of my skill I feel like I learned a lot. The necrons will be next. I feel you've covered everything I would have wanted to explain to someone using oils for the first time in a very approachable way.

@4hedgesfamily 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for doing a large model, and for making mistakes. Too often I see people like Duncan Rhodes paint where eveyrthing goes perfect. That's all nice, but from you, I'm learning how to not get discouraged, and how to fix things. Please keep up the great videos. I recently finished an imperial knight and I'm working on a Baneblade, all without an airbrush. By the time I was finished with the knight I was almost insane (well, more than usual) , but I learned a lot of new techniques: First was using straight ink to brighten and even out a patchy color. I got a neat mottled effect I will certainly use in the future. Second was that super "slick" paints like Krylon aluminum don't take acrylic washes that well at all. I'm not quite brave enough or equipped enough to try oils... yet...

Would you be willing to make a I guess how to video for your new printer? I have been 3D printing for a couple years now but have only ever used FDM printers (which have a hard time printing small detailed things) so I've actually been eyeing up these brand of printers, but have NO idea as to the best way to use them or remove supports since its a completely different kind of printer and uses resin. Been loving these videos! Excited to see what other ones you have in store :)
