Might be the best Harrison Ford looking mini i've seen. Very nice. I love the high contrast highlights too. Makes those important features pop. I also have to say it is truly incredible how you keep your brushes SO darn fine and pointy. I have that same R&C brush that I clean regularly that isn't anywhere near the surgical tool yours is. Most impressive. Keep up the great video series.
@Sorastro5 жыл бұрын
Thanks a lot John! I couldn't agree more about the figure. It wasn't until I applied the zenithal highlights that I fully appreciated what a strong likeness they'd managed to achieve. Regarding the brushes, since filming this I've actually switched to the R&Co Series 8 (still size 2) which I'm really enjoying; it has a beautiful point, but a little more firmness and "snap".. 😀

Great video once again. I particularly liked the way you walked through the stripes on Han's pants. I also liked all the subtle shading you did on his overall figure to make him pop when the color scheme didn't appear to have much color variation when you look at Han Solo in photographs online. I love this painting series and I look forward to the next one.

The community this podcast is building on Instagram is wonderful!

I would be honored and delighted if you would be willing. Please let me know. Thank you very much for your consideration and I look forward to your response. :)

@Sorastro5 жыл бұрын
Thanks Stephen! Regarding the bases, I tend to skim over that in the later videos as I've already gone into it in some detail in the earlier episodes; if you skip to the "Finishing Touches" stages of the first few videos I think you'll find the extra detail you're after. Regarding products, I believe Woodland Scenics are US based and they make a wide range of excellent scenic products: woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/ They're not especially cheap, but will serve as a good starting point. GamerGrass is also quite popular amongst hobbyists at the moment: www.gamersgrass.com/ and they have a nice range of tufts etc. Beyond that, any local model railway type stores will also likely stock things like turf, and static grass etc... I hope this helps :)
