What mistakes have you made and how did you fix them?!

@benrichardson5662 4 ай бұрын

I got a splotch of silver on Mortarion's wing, so I just painted over it from step one, with Wraithbone and ran through the contrast paints and used the dry brush highlight to blend it in. I could slightly see the difference but nobody else could tell and after a while, I can't tell anymore either.

I currently have the face of one of my terminators void of detail as I flooded it like an idiot and tried fixing it but it made it worse. And the sword looks perfect and I can only really think to strip it... The rest is luckily just in it base coat but that sword... Its so good

I wish there were more videos like this, it would deffo boost my willingness to commit to a mini that I made terrible mistakes on (which is every single mini I paint).

Oil washes where initially the biggest mistake I’d ever made. Now they’re my favourite part of the painting process :)

This is a fantastic tutorial and just what I needed as I am batch painting my custom space marine chapter, although its not quartered colour scheme. My chapter is half black / half white colour scheme with green chest aquillas.

Great video, I loved the honest approach you've taken here! Howling Griffons always transport me to seeing Fred Reeds army in White Dwarf in the 90s, it's such a great colour scheme.

The key thing I took from painting a Howling Griffons army is - don't sweat it if the quartered divisions aren't 100% perfect. When you're painting 50 or 60 marines, a little blemish here or there won't detract from the overall look of the army. I also went with green purity seals on my army - and for minis in the force that had a plasma weapon, I went with green for the plasma coils as well, just so they force has an overall spot colour. It's never easy painting quartered colour schemes but it's worth it to see the army en masse. They really look fantastic on the tabletop It's also nice to paint something like this just as an exercise in being tenacious!

Great work mister and I know your pain regarding making mistakes. I recently tried the AK washes and had similar results. I.e. after applying too much, taking it off again removed paint underneath. A gloss varnish does help but it adds another few steps which makes the use of an enamel wash counter productive. So I've gone back to standard acrylic washes that I layer correctly. Lovely result though and great to see your contrast corrections, I've been using contrast base colours for years and never see anyone on YT showing how to correct contrast errors. Top marks sir and thanks for your video.

Can't say that I've ever had an all-over wash come out well on red, especially a black wash. If I'm going super dark on the recess shading I prefer doing something like a pin wash, letting the capillary action of the oil/enamel paint outline the features for me. If I want more of a gradient across the bigger areas, I'll use something more subtle on the red that won't be as likely to really muddy it up, like a Payne's Grey or a warm brown. As you mentioned, a gloss varnish is really helpful prior to any oil/enamel wash to help the wash run to the recesses, flow along the feature and make cleaning up mistakes and larger areas that you don't want stained much easier.

No VMA chrome = video reported to youtube :P :P :P Looks great, and I like how you didn't edit out mistakes because we all make them and a lot of channels are 'look at me paint good' not 'here's how to paint stuff' so many thanks!!!

@chetmanley1885 4 ай бұрын

Having to use two paints to touch up mistakes is exactly why I'm not using contast for my Griffons, as nice as those colours are. Still working on some test minis to nail down the method, and the ones I've done are mostly mistakes. Might try an enamel pin was after seeing this.

This was me last night. Spontaneously decided I wanted to paint the Unforgiven’s 5th company markings on a veteran squad. That’s a quartered design on the knee plate. Biggest mistake is not having patience, though all I really need to do now is cleanup. Biggest advice I have, like anything on the painting side of the hobby: have patience

@TheRonan92 4 ай бұрын

An addition to that is mindfulness. If you know you've had a taxing day, stay away from the fine detail!

I might have to unsub because I come here for my Vallejo chrome fix and I didn't get that! Nah jk mate good work as always mate, as always a lot of lessons to be learnt from vids like these. Over watching many different videos and my own experience I try to take to heart that mistakes will happen and can likely just be covered up by other stages. Also one thing I've picked up on is using blood effects/ weathering to fix splodges or other mistakes

I think you could of done yourself a favour by having the helmet separate. Over than that it looks really nice.

Since some vidéos I noticed that you have replaced pro acrylic bold titanium white by AK white. Please, which is your favourite? White is so difficult to paint.

@ThePaintingCoach 4 ай бұрын

They are both good - I find AK is thicker so better for edge highlights
