Looks great! Im surprised that the chrome spray didnt have you start with a gloss black undercoat. Regardless, the paint job came out wonderful! -John

That was really fast paint work. But it makes a lot of sense to me. Thank you. What are the minis in the video, by the way? I wouldn't mind getting the chance to paint them myself.

I work for the ambulance service here in the UK, so you can imagine we spend quite a bit of our time around deceased people. Your pale yellow/green with the slight purple glaze is the best depiction of dead flesh I’ve ever seen.

Awesome tips! Thanks for sharing! -John

"1941" is a good Christmas movie, I think. And, it's also one of the most comical movies ever made.

Wonderful video

Hi Mandy, technically speaking wood is a composite. Good work.

You do awesome work! Keep rocking the figures.

For paint stripping delicate objects you can get a sand blaster that will connect to a compressor. Build a blasting box out of a plastic see through bin and use a gentle abrasive (like walnut shell) starting on low PSI and increasing until you get the results you like. That nose was probably done for any which way you look at it though.

What an incredible recovery! And thank you back! It's smaller channels who work so hard to create a community. I try to interact with smaller channels because they are so happy to have others comment and react to them. I'm still a small channel and I have made so many friends through other channels with less than 5k subs. Enjoy the Holidays! -John

2:42 When you said “He’s not actually wood, he’s composite” I winced. Anyone who’s had something made of MDF get wet would know what happens next.

Does the solvent free UHU have the same effect?

What colors did you use for the skin?

You do nice work!

That looks so much better than the products decoration. Bravo!

Welcome Taylor! Thanks for the video. I think marks of wear and time are the things that bring life to pieces of terrain and real building too! They help to tell a story behind

This is a great video! You got a sub :)

I have 5 cats too! Keep them locked out of my hobby space

i was always wondering, do they shave those sables to get the hair or... you know...

yes. congrats and celebrations are in order. 🎉 😊 bloopers…. very cool. thanks !!

Aw congrats on the 1k Mandy. Been here from the beginning cause I love yours and Ben's style. Videos are always very relaxing and informative with a sprinkling of added fun. Right, now on to the 10k mark!!

OMG!! 🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations!! I really like your videos, they are heartwarming and motivating 😊

Congrats on 1,000 subs! Well, I'm 999th, so I'm certain that by the time you read this, you'll be over 1k. Just discovered your channel, and I like your style. Plus, you taught me a couple things new. I look forward to seeing what's to come!

Nice guide! I use a lot of those same products and a few others not mentioned. You might want to check your thumbnail, there's a teeny tiny spelling error. Keep up the amazing work, you're almost to 1K! -John

Great video! I was thinking you added to much highlighting until you showed the min under different lights and it looked so much better. One thing I do on my own minis is to use a glossy black to bring out the shapes that are already there. After minimal highlighting dull coat/cheating coat balances it out. I’ll have to find a bottle of nightmare black.

Great vid. Now I need to apply this to black fur. Thanks.

Thanks for this, very helpful and i love your content.

Even with the limited colours it still looks great!

just my two cents, but speed painting doesnt always equal it being a rush job. I enjoy the speedpaint process, certainly not rushing through them at all though.

Fantastic work, as always. Thanks 👍🏼😁

Looks great! I'm going to have to try that! Gotta ask though, what is the figure? I'd love to paint it up as well! Almost at a thousand subscribers! Keep up the great work! -John

For me 4 hours would be an incredibly fast mini. The only actual army I ever tried was my space marines and that took much longer as I was picky about each of my soldiers looked before they died a horrible painful death on the table. Do blood bowl teams count? I saw some good tips in there. Face and skin first then working your way out is good until I realize my mini is really over accessorized. Great looking mini!

Im not a huge fan of speed painting myself. although painting armies does have a benefit. Nice job on those eyes! Keep up on the amazing work! -John

I started with chibi’s but the ones I work on are between 4” - 6” tall. Absolutely agree that they are great for learning!

I love the videos you upload to your channel, they always feel comforting and motivating. Thank you very much!

100%!!!! Make it 500%! This is another great video about things many painters need to hear. Some things came easier than others but There is no skill in my toolbox that did require incredible investment of time and effort. And that means everything from painting minis to welding. You made painting the genie look easy but there’s no way to show the work and endless effort that went into her. Even so Those who know what to look for can see it and it shines. Nice shoutout to more traditional painters too. We could not do this without learning from them first. Keep it up!!!!!

"Art is just working on shit, until it isn't shit anymore." Loudermilk season 3. Good video.

Great discussion, I feel like a lot of people get easily discouraged when they don't get fast, easy & good results, these days... It takes time! Also, I really like the effect of the "smoke" on the mini!

Its great to see this process on a larger figure-thank you this is really helpful. I might have missed it, but what bust is this?

Another excellent video! Your end result look amazing as always. I will confess that I love using metallic paints but they often do not shade or highlight well. You may have an achieved a good workaround here.

the end product looks good. i need to practice some. i printed out a bunch of weapons to play with.
