Thanks for watching. Sometimes I base the models first then prime, but I haven't decided yet on how I want the basing to look so I'm holding off for now. Also, I may get some of the Geek Gaming Scenics basing materials which make it easier, rather than gluing sand, painting etc.

Magic Juice is great! works better with some colours than others, but still - really helps.

@@fiftypluswargamer I prefer to use the single shades rather than mixing, use soft tone for pretty much everything except bare steel - which I use Dark Tone for as it seems to give a slight gloss finish.

Thanks for taking the time to watch. Much appreciated.

Cheers. It's getting there.

That was where I invented the zombie hoard sideways shuffle maneouvre LOL

I use magnifiers as well, but I've found that on the Epic scale, gorgeous as the models are (just put together the war elephants from the free sprue with Wargames Illustrated 439), it's just too small still for me. I'd be battling the models instead of enjoying them. 28mm for me!

Cheers. Certainly a learning curve painting tanks with speedpaints which are designed for detailed texture. Thanks for watching.

@@fiftypluswargamer you're welcome 👍😀👍

Cheers for that. I think it looks better than what I did on the Panthers, with the change in greens, and having a light drybrush over the whole model afterwards seems to tie everything together, something that works great at 15mm, but was a little unsure to try on 28mm (1:56).

Again, thanks (Jason?) I wanted to try something new (big supporter of block colours/dip method myself) and it's still very much a learning curve. A few times I've considered selling the speedpaints on and just getting the Fanatic range of acrylics instead, but forcing myself to keep on this for the rest of the year at least, to give it time. Adding a "clean up" stage of neatening up between colours with matt white does slow the process down, but worth it. Watched your video on your SAS force - looks great. Were you at the Warlord event yesterday? I meant to pop along but got side-tracked with a new Flymo arriving.

@@fiftypluswargamer Hi JP, Yeah, it's Jason from the Foundry..... Had my first games of Bolt Action in 10 years at the Warlord Event yesturday.... Lost first two games, won the third, overall an excellent day - even if I didn't win the Wooden Spoon!

I think the smaller the models, it is slightly easier to paint as you're just going for a representation of the colours and for the mass effect of how they look rather than the individual model. I'll be getting the new Epic Hail Caesar 15mm Romans/Catharginians next month so will show what I mean with a few videos about painting smaller scale models.

Thanks - Still learning how best to use Speedpaints to get the proper looking uniforms for the time, and just got a few of the olive and tan Fanatic range for ease on applying highlights. I might do a future video on how I actually paint a model if I can figure out how best to do it. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment - much appreciated.

Thanks - still very much a learning curve purely using Speedpaints, and resisting the urge to go back to standard acrylics.

@@fiftypluswargamer My advice: use everything that works to make the effects you like.

I’m like our brothers, admire this even more than CGI.

Cheers. Very much enjoying learning a new way of painting.
