I know this is (probably) the end of the cursed city series, but wanted to say thanks and really appreciate them!!

Oh people will watch it but it's nowhere near the views of the rest of the series. That's still not a problem as I will for sure make the dead ogre minis. Then I will re-evaluate the series

As I said in the latest PAB, I know very well that because of their nature, my videos are never going to skyrocket in views like other channels, I accepted that a long time ago. So I'm just going to keep on doing what I like and enjoy.

[@youtousim]

Another great tutorial, sparking my interest in contrast paints even more. They do seem to provide a nice variety of adding subtle hues. Speaking of which: For fur, i highly recommend adding a tint of blue similar to the fangs and teeth to the darker parts, where it is fading into grey. As seen in real life wolf fur. Really adds some visual interest to the model, contrasting with the yellow-ish brown tones, without being overwhelming.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Nice suggestion!

[@nessa-parmentier]

I'm not one to paint with Contrast paints (yet ?), but it's very interesting to see what kind of results is possible with only contrast and highlights ! Ultimately the result is not the kind I want to achieve personally, but there are very good techniques and mixing ideas that I might end up using :D

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

I like to see my videos as a showcase of all the possibilities that Contrast Paints offer not so much paint by colours guides.

Como consigues difuminar tan bien las contrast? Intento hacerlo siempre super rapido pero cuando voy a difuminarlo el borde ya se ha secado y me toca "rascar" con el pincel para quitarlo... No se si será por la temperatura o la humedad de mi casa, vivo en Valencia

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Puede ser, la verdad es que como ves no hago nada especial.

[@deamon202]

Hi Juan, this is very beginner question but when you say to thin something down, e.g. to a glaze consistency, is that usually thinning the paint with water or with some sort of medium? I know sometimes it's definitely medium like you said for white in this video but for the average paint is water fine? Cheers!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

If nothing is said and clearly marked in the graphics, then it's water. I actually used water for the white myself, BUT some people might find it hard, that's why I suggest medium just in case.

[@deamon202]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thank you!

[@bartdevuyst]

I'm curious, what made you decide to go for zenithal priming in the latest videos? You didn't do this in earlier videos.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

I decided to experiment with it for the spooky videos, including Cursed City and Soulblight, just for fun and to test out how would it work. The Krieg video I just primed normally

[@bartdevuyst]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thanks, I like the results! As always, excellent work!

[@krausersama9153]

About these bases.. do you pin them or just glue on the models? Especially with the zombies and sceletons I'd be worried, since you have very little space to drill in those legs.

It's Zandri Dust spray yes. The spray colour is different from the pot one. Please note that it has a zenithal prime of Wraithbone form above. I say that in the video

[@chrissteadman4614]

Hi Juan - a little off topic. Call me slow, this morning I have just 'discovered' about AP Speedpaint via couple of KZbin reviews. However, of all the hobby content makers I would value your opinion of them most. If you are not already intending to do a video about Speedpaint, could I please encourage you to do so. Thanks.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Sorry but since AP haven't even considered me for a review even if I'm the most prolific Content Creator with that style of paints, I'm not going to bother buying them, ship them and deal with customs for a product and brand that is very hard to find in Spain and not everyone can get. That's being said and in all fairness, they look very good and seem to be a 1 to 1 copy of the Citadel range so I feel they can be a great substitute if you are in a budget. I just feel it's a missed opportunity that instead of coming with their own colour selection, they instead did what they always do and blatantly copied Citadel again (again, this is just a supposition based on the few paints we've seen so far, I might and hope I'm wrong) If you want to see a review which I would be happy to do, the best thing you can do is actually contact AP and tell them to send me a sample and why. Thanks 😘

[@chrissteadman4614]

Thanks for taking the time to answer so fully Juan. I kinda expected that this might be your answer. I will, today, contact AP and suggest that they send you some samples. BTW the two reviews I watched this morning both mentioned that Speedpaint applies differently to Contrast, appearing to settle more evenly with less streaking. Update- I've sent them an email and added a comment to one of their Speedpaint videos.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks 😘 As for the reviews, they do look promising, BUT I never trust a review that I haven't made myself 🤣 As for the less streaking.... I never had any issues with that so it's hard to judge

[@njkf]

Hey Juan, now that The Army Painter will come out with Speedpaint in the future, will you ever use those paints in your tutorials or only stick to Citadel?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Only Citadel as I do for almost all my videos. I prefer to stick with paints that EVERYONE can get easily. I might get a few for myself but that's it.

[@njkf]

My guess will be that at some point, Speedpaint will be available far and wide and probably cheaper than contrast paints

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

That's still not to my concern. For example I have no shops in a 400 km radius that even stock anything made by Army Painter. Yes I can order online, but I still prefer to make my videos as easy to follow and recreate as possible and that means using the paint range that is most easy to get across the planet. As for price, I honestly think it's meaningless if you think how long paint lasts.

[@bygonesbadjuju7194]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures what would you recommend for a beginner? From the same brand, which brushes would you say are essential?

You just need a Rosemary & Co series 33 size 3, I use that for literally everything from eyes to large basecoats. You can get a 2 and 4 as well for some extra variety
