Rescuing BLOODCRUSHERS for Warhammer AOS and 40k

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Lol exactly, I always find myself getting too excited and just putting everything together. It usually works out, but sometimes it’s the worst.

[@crowdemon_archives]

@@eBayMiniatureRescues that's why I always paint in subassembly 😂

[@mcth0ny]

I've found that freezing metal models really helps to get glue off because the metal and glue expand and contract at different rates when frozen and rewarmed. That makes the adhesive really brittle and easy to chip off.

[@kausalkraken5951]

As the original seller, a bit of a back story. I have been buying and selling Warhammer for 15 years. I also do professional painting jobs and commission for fun. About four years ago, a fellow wargamer gave me his 9-year-old son Khorne army after he passed away for free. It was his first army and was using it to learn how to paint. I placed them in simple green but ironically moved to Reno NV shortly after for work. When I returned back home to PA beginning of last year, I discovered them and put them up for sale (I was downsizing at the time). Ironically, If I had them with me in NV, I could have walk a mile to the house and said: Free army, here you go. Please remember, we all start somewhere.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

This certainly marks the first time that a seller has come forward after a video that I’ve made. Thank you for sharing, I really appreciate it. It’s very unfortunate and sad that your friends son passed away. Hopefully I can do a little justice to the army by fixing it back up. Being from Reno as well, crazy coincidence. Such a small world man.

Good way to remove super glue from metal, is to use acetone (nail polish remover), it makes the glue into a super soft goo and can be removed easily. And well acetone also removes paint.

If you pick only one color scheme I think the black offers good contrast to the army as a whole. But seeing the final display I think you could keep all color schemes side by side. Makes it look more like this is their natural skin color instead of armor plates.

[@richardorta8960]

a few questions 1. have you ever aquired obvious rip-offs and counterfiet minies? like ones that companies have had or could have legal actions taken by the original designer/company. 2. how would you convert a nutcracker into a boss/hero for tabletop gaming? How would you convert ornaments into minies, like santa, elves or the reigndeer that you hang off the tree. 3. have you colored minies with permanent markers only?

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

A few answers 1. I have received items that were counterfeit, my thought is that, while I won’t promote it, or play them in a game, I might as well keep the models around for conversions. Same as 3d printed parts in my mind. 2. Converting Christmas things into warhammer, hmm. Papa Nurgle might as well be Santa, so add tentacles to everything and spread the gift of corruption! 3. Never fully, but trim, yes, the paint sharpies are amazing for trim.

[@richardorta8960]

@@eBayMiniatureRescues cool! 1) though you won't play them, you've held onto them you say. do you know any of the knock-off histories? have you painted and/displayed any? or do they become kit-bash parts like for terrain? 2) papa nurgle as santa. got the feeling his song would be Messed Up X-Mas. Hate to end up on that naughty list. 3) I used sharpie to color the mane, hooves, horn, eyes and mouth of a unicorn. the material loved the ink and held it well. trim and minor detail work was suggested to me before but i am still curious to see if anyone has went full marker on a mini. plus get an idea how a hard core or at least enthusiastic mini maker/painter deals with different materials when using marker. i need t try magic markers on the minis i have too... maybe i could smear the ink to get effects? thank you for answering my questions!

I've been looking for metal paints with good coverage and my flgs sells those same Vallejo pots, so I'll be trying them soon on my AoS Ogors. Do they need to be thinned a lot?

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

The best part about these paints is that they are airbrush ready, which means they are already super thin! What you are seeing is pretty much directly out of the pot. I do dab a little off on a piece of paper so it doesn’t run everywhere, but not very much.

[@Twillow28]

@@eBayMiniatureRescues I got a pot of the gold recently, and didn't realize it's alcohol based, and it did unholy things to my brush. Gotta look up some tutorials for working with this medium next time!

[@frequencynz5778]

Love what your doing man, great content and all of your finished products are amazing. Just thought I'd ask why don't you ever rescue / paint any larger models ? E.g Space Marine Dreadnought, Eldar Fire prism or even a Tau Piranha. Is it because larger models would take a considerable amount of time or you feel your able to show more detail and better techniques with troops and Named characters. Thanks in advance.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Thanks man, I'm glad you are enjoying the videos! To your question, I would love to do larger models more often, the biggest hurdle is honestly finding models of that size in need of rescue for a good price. People want a lot of money for larger models even if the condition is bad, so when I look at an auction I tend to skip over it. That being said, I look on eBay every day to see what I can get for the channel, so you really never know what's going to pop up from week to week. Weirdly, painting larger models doesn't really take much longer, the spaces are larger, but the amount of details are generally about the same as a smaller model. Think about a Gargant. It's mostly skin, so I would airbrush that and 80% of the model would be done. it depends on the model of course, but I've always found larger models to be either quicker or about the same as smaller ones time wise.

[@frequencynz5778]

What are you using to thin Citadel paints for your airbrush?

[@chopstyx1]

Glad to see I'm not the only one who holds models while airbrushing and ends up with fingers covered in paint. lol

[@swansman2007]

What process did you use to put paint in your airbrush? Thinner, paint, then water? I'm asking because I'm always dealing with dry tip and it makes me not want to use an airbrush.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

You pretty much nailed it, thinner, paint, then a little water. Mostly that’s just to keep the paint from hitting the needle first, too thick, once it’s in the thinner it won’t clog the needle with pure paint, the water is just to make it go a little farther. Sometimes I end up adding more paint after the water, but as long as you get some liquid in there before paint you should get less dry tip. Best practice is to just keep a toothbrush around to scrub the tip every so often, that way you just don’t have to worry about dry tip at all, you can’t prevent it in the long run.

Great Video! quick question though, You mention that you printed out the bases for these blood crushers. Do you use a resin printer for that or is a FDM printer preferred when doing bases? Im new to the idea of 3D printing and trying to figure out which path I want to take.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Yeah I printed them out on a resin printer. For miniatures, resin is absolutely the way to go. Small details come through really nicely, and for miniatures that’s definitely a plus! I have a few videos on the channel that are all about 3d printing, mostly during an ork army project I was doing, but here’s the link :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooeYg3mKeMilo8U Also, if you want to see some really gold stuff about miniatures and 3d printing, or just what to do with it all, check out Danny over at 3d printed tabletop, excellent channel and 3d printing stuff! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooeYg3mKeMilo8U

I love what you did with them! Do you have an videos for how to do stripping without a jewelry cleaner or a dremel?

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Thanks! A lot of my videos I don't use a Dremel. Generally I just go with a toothbrush and that will do enough to get the model cleaned. The sonic cleaner, I tend to use it because it makes the process muuuuch faster. I can strip a model in cleaner in a few cycles rather than letting it sit for a week. But that's also the alternative to using the sonic cleaner. Get your solution ( I use LA's Totally Awesome) and a jar with a lid or some Tupperware, submerge your model and let it sit for a few days, come in with a toothbrush and take away as much as you can, if it still needs more then let it sit for longer. Use 97% and above isopropyl alcahol for metal models and you can get them stripped in minutes, plastic too if you don't let it sit for too long.

[@rokurokubi3273]

I can't put my finger on why exactly, but the proportions of the Bloodcrushers kinda bothers me. Regardless, you've done some nice work restoring them. I think any of the colour schemes could work, but I'd throw my vote in for the midpoint one between the more pure black and red variants.

Why when stripping metal models do you not use acetone? Everyone has their preference of course but I was just curious.

Sometimes I do, it really depends on what I have available when I go to strip models.

LAs totally awesome I have a ton of right now, and it works well enough in the sonic cleaner. :)
