More of these tutorial type of videos would be amazing, I have been very hesitant to customise figures but your work has definitely inspired me to give it a go, keep it up man

[@LandspeederLuke]

Have you tried it out yet? 😮

[@A98W]

@@LandspeederLuke I have indeed and I must say it turned out pretty good

[@retcxn]

I love these kinds of videos because it shows how realistic and detailed these figures can become.

[@1nceuponatube]

I really appreciate your dry brush explanation. It’s the best explanation I have seen so far. Great results!

[@SailorYen89]

Thank you thank you thank you! Am new to collecting black series and even though the quality is so nice, I was looking for something to do where I could add a personal touch and really elevate the figures but was nervous about customizing anything and this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I really can't thank you enough for your tutorials and vids.

[@Matt_Bryant]

Wow... Pretty amazing for something so simple and inexpensive. NED-B literally went from being a Tonka toy to well used/weathered Star Wars droid. Love it!!! Great video, LL! 👍👍

[@rtb2k6]

The robot characters are always easier imo.just a dark wash makes the world of difference.

[@Camobo3095]

I really appreciate videos like this. It can be hard to know how to start customizing figures. This process seems pretty easy but it makes a huge difference.

[@rtb2k6]

I started by just doing the dark washes.these alone make a world of difference as it brings out all the detail in the sculpt.then i tried dry brushing with silver for that metallic look (this is the real challenge as its so easy to overdo it) acrylic paint is easy enough to wash off with warm water so you can easily star again and just through a bit of trial and error you will eventually see great results.

[@joshwhite83]

More tutorial videos like this please! I have just recently ventured into the world of figure customizing and not knowing where to start sometimes along with the added pressure of possibly ruining a figure can be a little overwhelming. But you made this so easy to understand. I can’t wait to try this out on some of my own figures now. Thank you!

[@LandspeederLuke]

Have you tried it yet?

[@joshwhite83]

@@LandspeederLuke Unfortunately not. We’re currently in the process of buying a new home, so all my figures are packed up at the moment. I’m hoping for an opportunity to try it out real soon though!

[@timulewicz466]

Awesome work Luke, you’re right too, dry brushing is such an addictive technique, love it.

[@RyanByrne999]

More, more, more, and even more of these types of videos please.

[@masterofnone8832]

This was extremely helpful! I always feel anxious about ruining my figures, and you're so chill and confident that it really makes me feel confident to experiment! Keep up the great work!

[@LandspeederLuke]

Glad I could help!

[@ConcordD0m]

Started weathering my figures with vallejo from your Saw video and it's so worth it. The difference is night and day from the plastic-y factory look.

[@StraightOtohGunga]

Screw the algorithm! Keep these customizing videos coming!

[@samuelward10]

Definitely my favorite type of content. You make customizing very approachable for beginners. Look forward to more of these in the future!

[@LandspeederLuke]

More to come!

Hello Luke thanks for sharing your techniques for customization. I'm far too hesitant to ever do this myself but I do enjoy your tutorial videos. Thanks again for this informative video, love your work and effort you put into your collection. Great job, Tom

Hi mate. Love your weathering of Ned B.

[@AnuarSalgadoArroyo]

This looks awesomeeee.... I hope to see more of this...... it´s inspiring... ✌✌✌

[@colinmcauliffe4729]

Hi mate. Two other techniques I think you should try. Use graphite to add very realistic metal effects, simply sharpen a pencil onto plate and then apply the graphite to the model using your finger. Number two. Tear off a small piece of household sponge, dab onto the silver paint or any other colur you want to use to show chipping. then dab sponge onto paper towel until you start to see the effect you're looking for then apply to the figure or part. It gives a nice random effect and is much more controlable than applying with a brush...oddly.

[@RyanByrne999]

Citadel shade nuln oil works awesome as well. I may have already told you this. I cant remember.

[@justinclarke2204]

A good video would be maybe a top 10 list of black series figures that you feel benefit yrh most with a weathering paint job

[@CMCustom112]

If these ever get to be around $22-23 each I might pick one up. The current retail is insane. Might use this technique on my spare bootleg SHF K2S0.

[@PsYChOtlC_ShArK]

Could you do a tutorial like this for troopers?

[@plastikblerd]

dope video !!!

I love every video you put out, especially ones like this. You've quickly become my favorite YT channel, and I'm not just saying that. Also im saving up to buy a bunch of your hexagon BS stands. I need a ton of them, but they are rather expensive so i have to hold uo for the moment. Keep up the great content. Inlook forward to all your videos.

[@LandspeederLuke]

You need a 3D printer! It’ll be cheaper in the long run

[@RyanByrne999]

@@LandspeederLuke Yeah, i know. Hey, just wondering if you bought the S. H. Figuarts Boba Fett and Throne. I pre-ordered from some company in Japan months ago. It finally dropped on the 21st and shipped yesterday. I cant wait to get it. Just wondering if you got one and if you're be doing a review.

[@kevinlumoindong3498]

do you need to put clear coat on it again just before the silver drybrushing ? or can i just drybrushing immediately after the third coat of the black paint without any clear coat inbetween ?

[@RyanByrne999]

You should try using a panel line accent color. I have brown and black and it makes such a huge difference its unreal. I highly recommend you invest in some and try it out and post a video. I got Tamiyas version. Its not expensive. Also citadel color shade nuln oil makes a difference too. Just please post more videos like this.

[@LandspeederLuke]

Do you use it as a wash?

[@RyanByrne999]

@@LandspeederLuke yes and no

[@RyanByrne999]

@@LandspeederLuke it works best on vehicles or figures that have a lot of lines/panels. Its like a magnet how it finds the lines and fills them in. You should definitely give it shot.

[@LandspeederLuke]

I have some but haven’t tried on a figure

[@Maniak3Fs]

Hello, do you have any other option for the Mr.super clean something cheaper ?

[@Daemon1532]

how do you seal the paint so it doesn't scratch off?

[@vidfreak727]

Did you use a clear matte?

[@caduhoffmann]

Hey fantastic job. A question please, why do you spray the mat some times instead of just one in the end?

[@LandspeederLuke]

I’ve found for washes on droids and such it makes the wash sit better.

[@Reesespufs]

Can it be gloss finish

[@jfug4501]

Do you do the wash on clones

[@pawarl.o.s.881]

how important is the matte spray, I want to weather my Delta squad and I don't think they look too shiny out of the box, does spraying them afterwards help protect the weathering or is it just for the aesthetic?

[@MaximilianoSchneider]

Cool tutorial! What about the articulations? Could Mr Super Clear be a problem? Or is it a thin layer? Thanks for the video!

[@LandspeederLuke]

No issues with articulation here. I think if you sprayed it on a figure with really delicate joints, it might lock them up just enough to bend the peg if you’re not careful.

[@MaximilianoSchneider]

@@LandspeederLuke nice! I'll try it tomorrow with this figure. I have a bunch that need a nice weathering. Thanks!

[@scottynorton99]

Is it meant to feel super sticky after... I couldn't get hold of Mr clean in the UK so I used an alternative spray

[@LandspeederLuke]

No. What did you use?

[@kalvarga5667]

Hi, I am just wondering if the Super Clear spray leaves sticky residue after a period of time?

[@LandspeederLuke]

I’ve used it for a couple years and so far no issue, just make sure you shake the can well and keep it upright while you spray

[@pawarl.o.s.881]

is the matte spray harmful to cloth goods. I wouldn't want to ruin my clone wars Anakin or Darth Revan.

[@18ferris88]

What is the advantage of mr super clear over clear matte spray paint?
