Battletech Miniature Painting - Turkina Keshik

[@AlexDenton0451]

This is pretty much the exact guide I wanted to make a solid base coat. I'll give this a shot, thanks a ton!

[@redpianominiatures]

Hope it helps!

[@rafaelebolivar]

Great video!

[@vectremy]

Subscribed! I hope you do more minis especially Battletech ones! Great job!

[@redpianominiatures]

Thanks! I will do, I'm working on more videos, I'm a bit late releasing my next one, I just haven't had time to record the audio yet, but it should go up this week.

Exactly what I was looking for in a video. The length was good, all the techniques are simple to understand but very effective and the end product is wonderful.

[@redpianominiatures]

Thanks dood

[@shaneflickinger]

Nice color scheme. I also love the idea of adding the triangles and circles as warning signs and such. Great idea.

[@redpianominiatures]

Thanks, I think I picked it up from someone else on youtube and went with it.

[@PrimalAce]

Great video mate, love to see more Battletech hobby videos on youtube.

[@redpianominiatures]

Thanks, I will try to fill the void somewhat.

[@MrFaboulous60]

Love this paint scheme you do excellent work

[@redpianominiatures]

Appreciate it!

[@BigZaeon]

fantastic work

[@TheStrandedSavant]

I did my version of this and the panel liner helped alot

[@Skringly]

Absolutely beautiful Turkina and a great video, really well explained. I'm sure you've already got a bunch of ideas in mind, but I'd love to see a video on making a Urban base like you have here!

[@redpianominiatures]

The next video will be making bases similar to this.

[@real-normanhome]

Good stuff. Especially the cockpit cuts are great too see steps and changes. Some cuts like hazard stripes are a bit quick but enjoyable overview. Great insight

[@redpianominiatures]

Thank you, I think I need to iron out a system for making videos, to ease up things like some of the quick cuts and such, which I'll work on in the next couple videos and forward.

Great video. Clean paint job. How did you do the lasers??

[@redpianominiatures]

I'll have a separate video on painting LAZORS in the future.

[@Anon-nt3xx]

Did you seal the model before applying the enamel? Is there a risk of the white spirits stripping off the acrylic paint?

[@redpianominiatures]

No I don't, and no there shouldn't be. As long as you use an acrylic or lacquer primer, and use acrylic or lacquer paints underneath the enamel wash, there shouldn't be any risk the previous layers being removed.

[@Anon-nt3xx]

@@redpianominiatures Thank you for the quick reply! The Turkina came out beautifully.

[@HeadHunterSix]

3:00 when you say a bluish or purplish grey color, what particular color do you use or recommend? I've got a few purplish greys from Citadel and it looks like you are using a grey with some purple to it.

[@redpianominiatures]

Gray is the majority yes, it doesn't really matter tbh, I have like six or seven grays and I just grab one and go. You can start with just any gray and mix a little blue or purple into it, the idea is just to use a gray with some purple/blue to it as it helps give it a metal look.

[@HeadHunterSix]

@@redpianominiatures I have discovered that when doing metals this way, it helps to use a satin varnish over those surfaces to give a sort of metallic luster. Gloss varnish gives an unrealistic effect and matte varnish will make those areas look just grey.
