I really enjoy your video. New sub earned. I would really love to see the process of building the picture frame out to the correct depth. I'm working on a diarama with Calis and Toll from Age of Sigmar. I didn't see a tutorial for the frame on Roman's channel either. Any help is greatly appreciated. Edit: I just finished the video and WOW, the finished product is beautiful. Awesome talent my friend.

@@WitnessMyMinis "the amount of paint" does not change fundamental paint properties. You cannot mix different kind of mediums just so freely. Again - oil layer requires up to one year to fully dry - and it will never do if you prevent the oxygen to come. And acrylic just do not stick to the oil surface, so the whole "construction" of layers will just break and fall off sooner or later in time.

how do you deal with camera over heating? and lighting. i can get my iso under 1000. but it always makes it look like i have a light constantly over the model so the face is blacked out from shadow
@WitnessMyMinis4 ай бұрын
thanks for the comment ! honestly never had the problem with the camera over heating , I think it might be an issue with some cams , I know I heard it about some Sony but never had the issue with my lumix. yeah you can't hunch over the mini i angle the light close to the mini and then zoom in and use manual focus to get it as crips as it can be . And it is hard to find a good angle to both paint comfortably and get good shots, the best angles I think is when you basically got the camera over your shoulder . hope it helps !

Awesome video. This was incredibly helpful as I'm starting to experiment with oil paints on my miniatures. What kind of finishes and varnishes do you use and how do you decided which one to apply? I'm making Black Death Guard space marines with my oils and I noticed oils leave a very nice shiny sheen to the metal armor. So, I'm trying to decide if I should go gloss, satin gloss, or just matt finished? I don't want to ruin the look of the work or oils.
@WitnessMyMinis4 ай бұрын
Thanks Mate ! :D its really a matter of taste, if I where to use metallic + oils I would either not use a varnish at all or I would go a satin one, maybe even gloss on the metallic. when oils have dried its very resilient the same goes for metallics

@@WitnessMyMinisSo Let me get this straight, or maybe I did not pose my question correctly. So basically you have to pay for everything upfront. Do all the work, client sees the final pictures does not like your work and you lose the time and money you paid for everything. That was basically wanted to understand by asking you the question. Do I understand this correctly then? That you run all the risk of money, time and investment and the client can say for whatever reason, no thanks.

@@Lalaland.001 its not that easy , fiverr will hold the money until you've marked the work done. When you've done that you will get the money within a couple of days, if the client want to make any kind of claim he/she could do that within. that time frame and not afterwards. that said like with any kind of transaction there is some trust involved and of course you have to be able to communicate and not over promise anything . also there is an option to offer your services in installations , costs upfront if you want that to. every client is different in what they prefer, I now have great return clients that I trust and that trusts me.
