[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thank you for Subscribing to this channel and showing support over the last couple of years whether by joining the Academy (duncanrhodes.com) or by subscribing to our channel, leaving a Like or a comment, we both really appreciate it, and once again, a massive, massive thank you! Here's to the next 250,000 subscribers 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Cheers Dunc & Rog

[@surtrpicks]

Deserved, thank you.

[@MangyForestCat]

Please show us how you would approach building, assembling, and painting a Gundam from Bandai. If you need recommendations on which one to try I have several which fulfill different criteria from beginner friendly to more complicated, from 1/144th to 1/100 to 1/60th scale.

[@wrnjr1701]

Long live the Lord of Layers! The lessons I’ve learned from your videos over the years have really helped my mini painting.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

That's awesome William, thank you so much 😊

[@Fulgrim2]

Bust out the champagne and congratulations guys!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thank you Fulgrim the second 🥂

[@mirage809]

Those wetblends take the model to the next level! The Avatar is an imposing centerpiece of an Eldar army and with a paintjob like this he will do more than just have scary rules, he will look stunning too! Games Workshop have been on a roll lately releasing drop dead gorgeous sculpts and Duncan's been doing a great job making painting them approachable.

[@Retrosicotte]

It's such a weird feeling. These videos both help and make me feel more confident, and yet also still struggling to feel like i'm not ruining models when it never goes quite right1

[@Alex_Owlbear]

Congrats on the channel milestone Duncan ! Great paint job as usual !

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thank you! Cheers!

Congrats for 250k, weil deserved. What a blast to end this working day. The Avatar of Khaine is a miniature i am craving for to add to my bigass miniature collection

Always a treat to have these Academy Vault videos. Especially with how they're used sparingly and kept mainly to your website. Do you have any advice for painting yellow? I've heard it's difficult to paint with

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thank you, check out the tutorial on painting the Imperial Fists Legionary 😊

[@andrewamann2821]

Pink undercoat and yellow paint, or, if you're feeling ballsy with getting down a smooth coat of white, then straight white, yellow ink wash, and shadow that sucker by wet-blending with progressively more red ink wash mixed into your yellow ink wash.

Hello Duncan, congrats on your channel milestone. Khaine looks awesome! How did you develop the manual dexterity to paint so well? Do you do any special exercises to train your hands or is it just a matter of painting enough stuff and eventually it will look good?

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thanks Elinoir, it's nothing more than practice. And also learning the right techniques to start with as well learning that it's okay to make mistakes. IF you learn the fundamentals, the rest will come easily.

[@scottlewis3506]

I see Duncan using both a wet and dry palette I have a wet palette but have been using the disposable palettes for the stuff you dont want on the wet palette. What does Duncan use for the dry one, or what kind of things do you all use?

Hi Duncan loving this paint scheme. Really need your help. How can I paint the rune type runes on the base? I want to be able to get the paint to fill into the writing round the summoning circle

[@leeknight8838]

Hey Duncan, thanks for the video! Is there some reason you didn't use your own range of paints for this project?

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Yes, we did this tutorial some time ago and at that point, they were still in production 😊

[@raskov75]

Mold lines inside the cross guard? Or is that the sculpt?

[@johnroy2567]

Just the very man... Sir Duncan, this Q is in regards to the new Chaos Chosen minis. On 1 of the sprues there's 2 bolt guns & 2 chainswords with tentacles wrapped around them but do you know where they should be glued (if opting to use them), a friend from WH Glasgow suggested they should be put on backpacks, but which 1s as the spares are clearly meant to fit somewhere, it doesn't show them on the build instructions

[@magnusmillerwilson]

Duncan, when you thinned the AP white to run into the line crevices between the muscle “plates” on the abs, was it as thin as an ink like Dayler Rainey (no idea how to spell that, sorry) or Liquitex? Or was it a little thicker than that? Just curious for trying it out in the future since I have some ink I could use out of the pot.

[@Amberpawn]

On the dry palette, is there a reason the paint is being placed into a new location and not into the area that the color was already in?

Why can i only like this once!? Bah

This is very great! But I've encountered a problem, I follow along step for step and am very careful but yet mine is still too bright almost while his is super dark but also vibrant? What am I doing wrong

Random question - do you have a big display case or something with all these models, or just like 500 armies in transport cases? lol

[@yiningsu2576]

What is your favorite miniature to paint?

[@Thornspyre81]

I was under the impression that diluting Contrast Paints with water instead of the dedicated Medium was detrimental since it broke apart the bonds or something like that. So confusing.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Yes, it is a little confusing to be fair. It depends on how much you wish to dilute it or what the effect you are going for is...so many factors. If in doubt, just thin it with the medium :-)

[@Thornspyre81]

@@DuncanRhodesDRPA I really appreciate the response. I figured as you said it likely comes down to how much Contrast Paint and how big of an area you are painting. As a follower for years I've come to trust your results and techniques so again I really appreciate it.
