Assembling, building and painting a 1:48th Nashorn scalemodel tank from Tamiya, manning it with a Goblin crew and building a small display base - Whilst talking about some differences and common nominators between scalemodelling and tabletop miniature painting. I also touch on a few favourite techniques like, dot filtering, oil washes and wetbelnding.

As an interloper (refugee?) from the military modeling world, I love your project and videos, and so I've been looking forward to this episode! I don't know if the fantasy/military hobby divide is that large-- a fair number of my YT military model colleagues are also fantasy and sci fi fans. But that's just an anecdotal rather than statistical or scientific observation. Anyway, goblins with a Nashorn is an inspired combination and I love it! The oil streaking is brilliant and I'm glad you used the green; something a bit different on a vehicle of German origins but most appropriate for Goblin armor, I think. And yes, scale modelers dry brush. And use wet palates. 😉 At least this one does. And the talented scale modelers even paint NMM, although I haven't reached that pay grade yet! Thanks Alex. This is 👍👍👍

@anotherzingbo Жыл бұрын

I didn't see much evidence of NMM when I was playing closer attention to scale modelling than I do now, but that's not to say it wasn't out there. What was popular however was NMF, or natural metallic finish, getting your metallic finish to look properly metallic and reflective, rather than just generically shiny. Similar acronym, but kind of the opposite intention! Some brands, such as Alclad/HR Hobbies, have some products that can produce some impressive NMF results.

Fantastic work Alex, love to see more crossover stuff like this. I've dabbled in both camps over the years. One thing I love about scale modelling is that is is history and no one is going to retcon my collection of WW2 tanks out of history like they might with my space marine army. Also my airbrush would've come in very handy when I was painting 100s of space marines all those years ago. 52 Miniatures is up there on my subscriptions just as much as Nightshift or Plasmo. Hope the algo treats you right so we get more like this.

Tamiya kits are a joy to assemble. Right up there with the amazing engineering of Gundam bandai kits. Yes, yes, I know, gundam kits. Not our thing. But if you want to experience the highest level of assembly precision with minimal cleaning or even glue try a cheap HG kit. Maybe diorama it somehow. Anyway, sort of the ramble there. I've picked up more than a few Tamiya for purposes of Pulp settings with the aforementioned Pulp Alley (although the rules can house any setting/theme). I'll have to give this dot filtering a try. My goodness, you make it look so good. Please can we have a patron saint. It's not fair that even fishermen have patron saints. My uncle has always been a scale modeler. We've been bonding a lot lately and sharing our different techniques. It's been quite enlightening. I gain more skills on making vehicles look better and he learns quicker methods for getting his people done on dioramas with more detail popping. All in all, a lovely video break with coffee. Thank you for this. Cheers.

@anotherzingbo Жыл бұрын

I've been both a scale modeller and a miniature painter and I too have found it curious that the two hobbies are so similar in some ways yet so separate in others. Your example of their different approaches to oil and enamel paints is spot on (though it does seem that for regular painting scale modellers are slowly moving more towards acrylic paints). In the other direction I remember seeing a scale modeller on a forum expressing delight and amazement at having discovered Nuln Oil, something nobody else on that thread had heard of! And to partly answer your question about wet palettes - they're something I only discovered once I came back to miniature painting, I don't remember hearing about it while I was only building scale modellers. I do remember hearing about sprue goo from scale modellers years before it spread to the miniature painting side of things though!

@anotherzingbo Жыл бұрын

@@52Miniatures I tried some Contrast paints on a tank commander a couple of years ago. I ended up mostly painting over them with regular paints. Most Contrast paints are noticeably more intense than the rather muted greys, greens, tans, etc used on scale models so they looked out of place next to the sandy tones of the tank's armour. The main places I kept the Contrast paints visible were probably on the face and hands.

From what I’ve learnt from doing historical miniatures and from friends who do fantasy ones is that most of the time, historics are like fantasy but with a more agreed upon lore, the two are like siblings, can peacefully co-exist despite some low level bickering between extremists of the crafts.
