Foam nail files are the end of the sanding conversation (ok sanding sticks too), if you let the glob of Museum Wax sit out for 5-10 minutes before use it will leave less residue. You can add paint to the UHU glue before using it if you want translucent slime or blood. Michaels Crafts and Amazon carry Golden Paints, Squidmar tested them recently.

Great tips! One I haven’t seen is the “yoga knee pad.” It’s a small 24”x10”x5/8” thick yoga mat I put on the table and it keeps my elbows from getting sore on the hard table after hours of painting. Give it a shot :)

As someone that works in the industrial coatings world I'm always amazed at how expensive mini paint is. $5/.4oz? That's $1,500 for a gallon of paint! I've worked with paints that are designed to withstand ongoing fission or submerged permanently in human waste that cost less.

@@philiptetherow71 I can’t at all comment on the veracity of this but I’ve heard from people that the reason mini paints can be so expensive is because they need to be very highly pigmented to get good saturation and coverage over quite small areas, as well as not clog up detail. Not sure what the margins for mini paints are but I have to imagine there’s some truth to that statement since there are so many competing mini paint companies and all their prices are relatively similar per oz.

8:23 On metal I used JB Weld in conjunction with pins. Drill hole for pins, scuff up touch areas, mix up the JB Weld, put some in pin holes, put in pin, smear a little more on, stick together. If if needs to be held I had one of those weighted things with the alligator clip arms. Hold it in position until it sets. Takes awhile, but you will not get those pieces apart.

I also use Golden titan buff for zenithal highlights. It’s a great starting point if you want your lighting to appear a little bit richer and warmer. The only thing I would add is that it tends to dry quite glossy, so I always add a little bit of matte varnish to it. Great vid as always! I really need to pick up some Uhu glue.

Can i add something? We all, by now, know how awesome Make-up brushes are for techniques like dry brushing are. Especially the smaller varieties for Eyeshadow, but also Powder brushes for bigger surfaces. One day, when i did my make-up i was wondering if Beauty Blender would work for wet-blending. They do - better than any brush, i dare say its basically airbrushing with a sponge. That's how good & smooth the finish is. Beauty Blender usually come in an egg shape, are microfiber/coconut fiber sponges and are specifically used for blending liquid make-up like foundation and concealer. I really recommend using them.

Really useful info. My preferred glue for metal miniatures with pinning is JB Weld Original Cold Weld Formula; this stuff once cured is the strongest I've encountered. The only downside is the long cure time requiring parts to be kept in a stable position until fully cured, which isn't ideal if one is in a hurry.

Some tools I found super useful. I enjoy the citadel paint handles, I just love the feel of it in my hands. They only thing they are super light, but the handle was hollow so I filled it with some small rocks. The added weight really helps when holding (helps dampen the shakes I get). Other benefit is the extra weight makes it harder to tip over when it is down on the table. Small wooden sticks with alligator clips are great I use them to hold small parts when spraying them. Super sharp fine nippers to clip parts. Super fine TAMIYA Photo-Etched Craft Saw. These rock they are .1 mm thick. They make a exacto look super thick. Super great to cut space marine joints apart to repose them. 1 and 2 mm wide chisels. I use them to trim emblems of marine, no longer are the cool looking sculpts are ultra marines.

@@TheEnd The GW handle tends unclip from the base easily. So far I have not had had on brake when I have dropped it, but it does go flying. Also the weight seems to give it a weeble wobbles like effect that helps it not to tip over as easy from small bumps. Before the weight they would tip over just looking at them, so I'm willing to take the chance with it for now. I have not found any other handle that have that thin neck like them and it just fits my hands so well.

Gorilla Glue gel was a total game changer for me. I paint larger scale GK's as well as minis, had tried a hundred different brands of glue, and gorilla glue gel is just in a different league. Once it sets, even on a large cast resin kit, the resin will snap before the glue will let go. Handy hint, for a bit more precision you can always just unscrew the lid and dip a toothpick or q-tip in it to apply it to only the area you need.

*"quake hole" museum tack works better than regular blue or yellow tack.* It's my go to, because it even works for models or parts lacking flat places to hold them and it's handy to be able to stick a model upside down. Biggest tip for that: work it a little 1st, then apply to the holder, stick the model to it last. I can hold it upside down and shake with most models and they stay put. If you try to stick it to the model then the holder, it won't get enough pressure and area spread to stay on the holder, so will both risk falling off and risk breaking some models.

I just purchased the wowstick myself. I love it. A lot easier to control. Prior to this I was using a dermal and I have to say the wowstick was a great purchase.

Neat stuff! I just ordered the drill, museum wax, UHU, and coconut husk fibers. I look forward to stepping up my game!

With the coconut fiber do you need to heat it like sand and such from outside to sanitize it?

Just found the channel while letting KZbin play a few days ago and subscribed. Weird question, but did you make another video talking about managing projects/commissions using a dry erase board? I didn’t get to finish that video and can not find it anywhere now. Seemed to have a lot of valuable information…. Love the channel & will keep watching!

For the Coconut fibers: did you paint over those, or should we wait until the very end to put them on?

The Wowstick has been tops on my list of things to get for a minute, now, and both the museum wax and the coconut fibers sound intriguing. When it comes to superglue, I'm a Loc-Tite gel kinda guy, here; I get good results with that one. Those makeup applicators sound like a good investment as well, for that matter. Good video as usual, Jon, and thank you!

A buddy of mine got a few Wowsticks from their kickstarter and gave me one. It's great! I recommend grabbing one when you get the chance. I haven't used it on metals yet but it does seem to have an issue with resin. Could be user error and impatience with me though with the drill getting stuck on occasion. Edit: Just to add on I have seen some complaints with the QA and their customer service. I haven't had to contact them about anything yet so I can't really say. Just putting this in as a heads up.

May just have to pick up one of those Wowticks. Not been having much luck with the pin vice. Does anyone know what the drill bit sizes are that come with it?

Thanks for this video Jon! Ordered a bunch of stuff. Can't wait to try out the drill (I hate manual pin vises) and coconut fibers.

Question! (After 4 months..) What’s the handle you used with your museum wax? It looks like a moldable grip handle that spins! Looks like a great tool!

Jon could probably convince me to buy almost anything from videos like this. He could just start adding random stuff, give a half-assed reason about how it helps with painting, and I’d buy it.

1: Use my dremel 2: yarp, useful 3: Interesting 4: Stackable plastic tubes are great. 5: Coconut fibre for hedges, yarp. Bolt Actionn loves them. 6: Super glue zip kicker also good. Gel glue hard to get sometimes.

Yup! Golden high flow are the my favorite go to out of the bottle. You have to mix directly tho, shaking will not always do with their hiflow product line. It is amazing when it does what it is supposed to, but if you leave on the shelf too long after opening you'll have some very serious separation (even if it looks mixed, it's usually not). All that said... In acrylic paints, Golden is as good as it gets.

How did you manage to get the Museum Wax to work? I bought some, but it's the same consistency as vaseline. It covers my fingies and is impossible to form into a ball or strips. I live in the UK, so ambient temperature really isn't an issue haha
