Speed Painting an eBay TRASH ARMY

[@kellenfoster7893]

I have a paralyzing ADHD problem that keeps me from getting anything done ever. Your tips on how to approach painting full armies has helped me to paint a complete unit. I started by making a plan with test models. I then timed myself painting that scheme with decent speed, worrying less about the mistakes and more about a finished unit. I hope to have a full army soon. Thank you for all you do. It's helped me immensely.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

That's awesome to hear man, keep it up and you'll have that army done in no time!!

[@coreylyman1232]

Man i feel ya.... My adult ADHD kills me when it comes ot starting and finishing projects

[@wideaeladormu]

This was actually funny to read, because me too.. I've got 2100 points of necrons, and i've got about 30% painted, even have some models that aren't even assembled yet, and haven't been for a month. Some are assembled but not primed, some are assembled and primed, not painted, and my doom scythe is only half painted.. It really sucks

@@eBayMiniatureRescues yeah take motivation advice from the guy with jowls. Why anyone wants Jabba the Hutt to tell em how to paint is beyond my understanding

[@ocalicreek]

Sure, the glamour shots at the end are nice, but I get more out of the process. You are really pushing me to think differently about how much detail I include on a model, and what sort of time scale I set for myself to build it. Rescuing old model trains is a little different, but getting bogged down and losing inspiration half-way through a build because I set my personal bar too high is the same no matter what the hobby is. Besides, I can always go back later and add more or refine the model further. Thanks!😀

[@MrShidimaOne]

I'm staring at ~ 70 orks and this video really helps in rethinking the paintjob

[@AKvanguard]

As someone that has painted 5k points Of Skaven. 4K of Imperial Guard, and a Cryx infantry army. Making sure you enjoy a paint scheme that’s time efficient is huge.

[@lavierretraineralex5548]

Ebay restoration armies are such a good idea

[@yagsipcc287]

Yeah it can be a turn off for people to go to ebay when they see a model that well looks in bits or terrible but its just heavy paint and comes off easy enough :-) good way to show it off to people it can be done with no issues.

I Rescued a COMPLETE trash super thick painted black templar land raider and REALLY made an over the top converted Tsons Achillies Pattern out of it... I used bits that were just trash that came off of it and repurposed them. Thank you for your videos man keep up the amazing work

Stunning work Casey! That enamel wash is such a great tool to have, thanks for sharing!

[@isisnmagic1812]

Brilliant video, love the scheme, never heard of this sect will definitely look out for them now.

[@nuriochi]

Questions for you, Casey. 1) What kind/brand/color of enamel spray do you use? And 2) does it stink? Thanks and this series has been excellent!

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Mig and ak interactive both have a product called streaking grime, which is really just a brown enamel wash. They absolutely stink, I run fans, have windows open, and a mask when I use them through the airbrush, with a paintbrush it’s not overwhelming, fortunately. But you can still smell the enamels. Totally worth it though.

[@nuriochi]

@@eBayMiniatureRescues thank you for the info and reply! I wasn’t sure if you were using streaking grime specifically or another shade in their range. The naval one looks cool for a red undertone (for my big orruk beasties maybe).

[@chrisg.2102]

I heard that subtle rebrand. Miniature Rescue 😉

[@bionicgeekgrrl]

Those came out great! I'll have to save the video for future reference as there was a few things that I would like to give a try, including the oil washes, but I hadn't considered using the static grass for my minis as well as the model railway projects. It'll all have to wait until the new year though as everything is boxed up ready for moving house at some point soon. But in the meantime I'm collecting a few playlists of useful videos which will be a great reference when we can get back to modelling.

[@the_mini_axe2817]

picked up 2.5k points of space wolves, including a storm-fang about 6 months ago, most did not need stripping (I got them plastic because I don't have a sonic cleaner) and the stormfang is totally going to be on display between games once it is done, with a custom base

[@Rohnon]

Make sure to remove your static grass from the places where it stuck to the models! Once bought painted minis from ebay that had static grass everywhere, removing it was a nightmare

[@fallstar7013]

I have done this also

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I’ve definitely been there, on both sides!

[@Zand3rParkour]

Yeah, I'm working through building some Bladegeist Revenants which are a nightmare to put together. I'm trying to keep motivated by planning to reward myself with building the Mortis Engine when I'm done. Nice single bigger model, and it's an older kit so should be much easier to build. Thankfully I already have my Nighthaunt scheme planned out and it's only like 6 paints, thanks to my CC Death Elemental/Mourngul that kicked it off. So once I finish building those I just have to strip some preowned Hexwraiths and then prime everything together.

[@TheMiniJunkie]

Killer results (and great video), Casey! But I wanted to see that big static grass applicator in action a bit more clearly/closely - looks really interesting.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Thanks man, I’ll definitely get more glamour shots of the static grass next time. I need to get longer grass though, it’s hard to see it doing anything with the tiny 2 mil grass. The results are still pretty sweet though, totally worth getting an applicator!

[@TheMiniJunkie]

I don't think i've even seen Nagash painted in red, and damn I wish more people did, that looks awesome. I'm about to start painting some admech for the first time, but concerns keep putting me off and off, only now that i'm going to be very passively occupied for a couple weeks in a place with little net connection has caused me to get everything together, even then nerves still getting to me.

[@VJMorph]

Casey do you varnish after the white ink or mix some varnish with the ink? If not how do you stop the contrast paint from reactivating the ink?

[@Nukacola38]

EPIC work

[@MaskedRiderChris]

I'm taking a break from the (exhaustively elaborate) Protectorate of Menoth minis I'm painting to sell on eBay, here, because OOF. They require a lot of time and effort for each one because so much is going on with each mini. I'ma actually forcing myself to do Ninjon's 3 Random Paints challenge with my current project and it's opening up new possibilities for me!

[@iglusmulmus5171]

I love these ebay rescues. I just got a nice deal on some oldschool high elves myself. I'll definitely subscrbe.

[@cj7113]

What's that stuff you use for gluing down the cork to the big guys base?

[@Quisite]

I'm using the Sotar 20/20 as well, but I am having trouble in smaller areas. How much PSI do you use for smaller areas? (like with the purple)

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I keep my psi around 25-30. If you are using super thin paints like Golden High flow, or inks, you can usually go down to 15-20 to get a little more control, otherwise its just about practicing that trigger control and just getting better at putting the paint where you want it.

[@Quisite]

@@eBayMiniatureRescues thank you!

[@TheENxis]

I've found that the Liquitex whiite ink strips really easily, do you just let it cure for a long time before hitting the model with the wash?

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I’ve definitely had the same issue with this ink, washes, contrast paints. Any kind of water based paint really tears up the ink. I let it sit overnight if I plan on using that stuff with a brush. I haven’t had any issues with enamels though, probably because it doesn’t interact with the ink in the same way water does. Still. It never hurts to use a varnish before using any other products over the white ink, that or let it sit overnight to let it fully cure.

[@Trisaart]

i really wanna do ossiarch for some reason!

[@user-ut2wv4zw4u]

What were the brown enamels you used to coat the minis with? I'm definitely interested in creating this sort of effect on some of my minis. Is there a line of enamel paints you would recommend?

[@jaratt85]

-.- You have a 3D printer.. there's no reason to ever not have any headstones and other grieblies on your bases. I hate your thing about "we all have unfinished miniatures" or projects or whatever you said.. uh.. no we don't all have unfinished stuff, some of us can't afford miniatures/paint and haven't been able to for a very long time. I will say that combo of purple and brown over his stomach gives a very convincing mummified skin look. If you look at the pictures of mummies without their wrappings, especially the early ones that were buried in sand without a sarcophagus, it looks a lot like that. At least it did before you stripped it back to fully purple.

[@luclin92]

Printers are perfect for stuff like that, just adding extra detail that changes up stuff. Changing small stuff that makes the regular foot soldiers a little more unique since the bases are different
