I found that added a gloss coat helped immensely for both adding decals, and oil washes. The oil wash applied through an airbrush is called a filter, at least in model railroading terms. ^_^

Fantastic work. The gradient + weathering oils give an amazing effect

[@marcshaman7984]

That was the most amazing intro I have ever seen. The sheer genius and execution of the art was phenomenal. This was an object lesson to the no-tubers out there of how to control and engage the audience, and allowing them to invest in the performance. Mega tubers have nothing on this, you have raised the bar so high they cannot even see your feet. Wonderful work sir.

[@musachioworkshop6506]

The production of the video is insane, Scott. Glad to see you are improving the quality even further with your new workflow, congrats!

[@mycommentpwnz]

Most mini-painters go over-the-top with shading & shadows. It's refreshing to see more subtle color changes.

[@sebastiantrost6409]

There are many painting tutorials on youtube - but your videos go beyond that. They are art, entertainment. Not the relaxing start painting usually has, but exciting. Most painters draw my attention because of their detailed depiction of techniques, some because of the calm atmosphere they create... I watch Miniac to see what the heck the video starts with (and to scream at the end). It gets me pumped and excited and sometimes this is exactly what I need to grab my tools and some models. Piece of advice: use scalpels after the exciting intro is through...

[@Multielladan]

Holy shit that lotr style intro was friggin‘ good! The shots, the edits, the Galadriel voice of the narrator - awesome! And yes yes, the rest of the video was freaking awesome too but dat intro tho

[@whatkilledjeff4356]

Hey Scott, Just wanted to thank you and John for the videos and podcast! It has helped me get through a tremendously hard year of non stop work and not much to look forward to. I watch your videos as soon as I possibly can and have even got involved with Kingdom Death models as a side hobby. I wish you all the best and I hope you keep doing what you do!

[@RandomHeroScog]

From the epic LotR style opener right to the end with the human condition and reality of the situation I was hooked. Really nice to see such an awesome piece of your work get such an awesome video to show not only it off but the work that went into it. I'm sure with the planning, build, paint, filming, editing and audio this took hundreds of hours and all I can say is, worth it. So very worth it. Awesome stuff as always!

[@MrPug-dt4sd]

26:35 Ah yes easter legs.

[@chrisedwards9543]

A couple of tips for decals: They go down really well over a gloss surface, even for a matte finish, a common practice being to lay down a gloss coat or three before decaling, another coat before washes, then a few flat coats to flatten it down. Second, never, ever, EVER use Micro-set and Micro-sol with Tamiya decals, they really don't agree (I'm speaking from experience as an aircraft model-maker).

[@Jawsofhana]

you can dip the decals in a bit of vinegar, too. it has the same effect.

[@Finkeldinken]
