This is simply amazing. Would you recommended this technique for smaller vehicles? Like the Speeder Bikes or the BARC Speeder, etc? I really enjoy the way you organize your videos. The paintjobs are incredible, and on top of that: watching you paint i actually think i can give it a shot. Thanks for the inspiration!
@alexs76702 жыл бұрын
This technique works well for vehicles and buildings. Just make sure you go from light to dark smoothly and thinly when sponging, it's easy to clog up detail. For the bark speeder specifically you could prime dark grey and work up to white and then use apothecary white contrast paint to smooth out the blend and bring out detail.
@Sorastro2 жыл бұрын
Thank you very much! I think you could use the technique for smaller vehicles, if you’re after quite a metallic look of course. I’m not sure I’d use this approach for say the Speeder Bikes as they really have more of an opaque brown layer of paint on them.. 😀

@heh_boaner2 жыл бұрын
Sometimes the colors are close enough that cleaning the brush with a paper towel is sufficient, but if you want to be extra careful to keep your paints pure, then using a plastic watercolor mixing tray would be perfect. The only drawback is you will be going through paint quicker, as you will likely put more paint on the tray than you need and won't be able to reuse it.

Really hate to say. I’m not a fan of this kit. The paint job from Sorastro(I have not been paid to say this, other less worthy model, miniature painters are available) is it’s only saving grace. We are so far away now from a war/skirmish game, realms of model making now. We need more characters with their ships etc. ghost + Crew etc. AT-AT….I can dream. But now it’s 28mm scale Astro droid in 57 small, tiny, model kits. Plus this new faction coming in 2022 does look like Atomic mass are moving away from what came before. Marvel Crisis proves one miniature can be to small/damn near impossible to build with big hands. Anyway ranting at 5.59am in morning instead of sleeping.. isn’t productive. Thinking about opening the Christmas chocolates now maybe.
