The Biggest Space Marine I’ve Ever Painted!

[@Bulkamancer]

Not being a painter myself, I have to admit I've never fully watched a video like that up until now, but this one was super entertaining, enjoyed every minute of it (and not because we paid for it, lol)! Amazing technique, loved the result! Also, thank you SO much for making this video! It's our first experience sponsoring such a project and I have to say it was an utter pleasure to work with you from start to finish! Seriously, can't recommend you enough to anyone who asks (and oh, they do)!

[@smokedog7730]

I'm printing this as my next project once I've caught up on my backlog of jobs to get finished (great model thanks for commissioning it, thank you, Smokedog77 (A.K.A Simple-Yam-2546)

[@eivl_eivl]

This video got me to find you, and I'm now a patreon supporter and I will paint this model after I have printed it! :D

Hi Undead Bread Baker!

[@Groundeffected]

Thank you dude!!! You were honestly too kind to me!! Would happily work with you win the future!! I hope everyone goes to join your patreon!!

[@Abedeuss]

Bulka is definitely one of the best 3D sculpting groups with styles and genres for everyone. Also probably the best supports with effortless removal.

[@braddl9442]

I usually find the best results come from blending good brush work with Airbrush skills. I know a lot of people that can do one or the other but cant do both. But those I know that can do both just produce some insane stuff. I love watching your airbrushing techniques, they are easy to understand and you explain them in a very normal way.

[@HobbyLinkInternational]

Hot damn! That is one huge model. Awesome paint job. Never painted a Space Marine but now I want to!

[@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS]

Absolutely beautiful build and paint work, I've painted a lot of Space Marines with my boys back in the day, plus Orks, but never this size, only table size, really enjoyed it, happy new year 🎉 Cheers 🍻🇦🇺🦘🪃🏔👍

[@Groundeffected]

Happy new years dude

[@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS]

@Groundeffected thankyou very much we appreciate it 🙏 😊

[@shaneschossow9705]

Love your work. Been painting for over 30 years and still get impressed with your style

[@Groundeffected]

Thanks dude

[@SgtMajorSav]

Awesome as always! For gaps have you tried mixing resin with acrylic powder? You can mix powder acrylic to resin to make it thicker, like a putty. I might do a video on it, pretty useful.

[@GMsw1fty]

Fantastic! Thanks Brent.

[@polyestermammoth740]

Love it. Love this guy. Great skills.

G'day Dad!!....im a recent subscriber to your Channel, and Boy im glad i did. You dad are just like my uncle "Once in a Six Side". You both just "Just Tell it like it is", in your own Flavour. As a new learner painter, this Vid is a 10/10 for video and audio, each detail clear, precise and no long winded side tracks. You Bloody Rippa Ol son and merry Xmas From A M8 Downunder🙃

[@Desmo904]

Fantastic work Brent! Love the 5 o'clock shadow. I never considered clear resin for the helmet I must admit, so there's one thing I picked up. That is a truly impressive model when it's all done! A keeper. 👍

Haha yea. I did it with the gremlins on witchblade a base

[@DChustle1994]

Just started printing this. Time to go buy every color you used haha

[@Archeagle]

Awesome work man. All your job are top nutch. I'm from the province of Quebec in Canada. I use to talk French. I'm new in the 3D printing world. I bought a QIDI 4 PLUS a couple of months ago and I've printed some nice models already. Small ones to practice than I did a Lion-O from Thundercats and now I'm doing LOBO from DC standing up on his space motobike crushing an alien on a rock with. I evaluate about 450 hours of printing. The caracter is done, the rock too, now I'm printing the space motobike than all the rest. :) Just for info, how many hours approximately you put on this paint job? I've subscribe to your channel. So much stuff I need to learn. I'm like a sponge and I try to learn the more things possible to be able to do great job like you do. I know, it's a time consumming, but it's so a great domaine. Have a nice day man and keep it up!

[@Groundeffected]

Maybe like 15 - 18 hours I don’t usually time myself but I think that about how long it was.

[@eclectipunk]

There is never enough footage of grown men priming little statues

[@demingzhang7204]

IMO, You could make a Henry Cavil's head and stick it on there. It's like a preview for the upcoming hbo drama

[@z8ttov]

I'd be disappointed if he was to play Titus. As Cavill said before himself, there are primarchs and Constantin Valdor, not to mention the Big E

[@demingzhang7204]

@@z8ttov You are right. My thoughts is he could play Yarrick. It would be EPIC with Ghazzy.

[@nas4ra2]

Amazing work !! Inspired me to join Bulkamancer to get this file. Is your Space Marine a FDM or SLA print ?

[@TheWestWoodian]

Do you still put the pictures on the bottom of the base? if so i'd love to see a video about it. I've been thinking about doing it on my own prints but idk how to do it.. just a thought.

[@TheAsylumchild]

OMG dude! If you haven't printed and painted that awesome Sylvanas Windrunner at 5:51, I'm putting in a formal written request. I would even buy it if you did!

Before i get into this i want to be completely honest.... i watched a couple of your videos a couple of months ago, and thought i cant watch, thinking this blokes going to get on my tits if i watch anymore, fast forward a couple of more videos a few days later and i was hooked. Amazing content and im think im actually learning stuff. So thankyou for the amazing content and sorry for my initial thoughts😊

Lol I’ll take it.

Heyoo I'm half way through printing this too!

[@mechanical_bob6591]

great! I was hoping for some T1TU$ inspiration. I have a different version I'm still printing at 200mm tall. ;)

[@damo_paints]

[@kanubul8142]

After you put the oil paint into the cracks/crevices, how did you buff it? Was it a dry sponge you are using? Did you have to put anything on it like the spirits or water?

[@Groundeffected]

Dry does work a bit. Don’t let the paint dry too long. But you can use some of that thinner to help get any stubborn bits

[@eazykiel9710]

incredible, following your video I signed up on Bulkamancer's patreon to have this model, I'm in the process of making it and I'm going to try to reproduce your painting process, the question I have for you is: why after making the undercoat in black and white do you apply varnish? what is the use? If you apply the contrast directly, what changes?

[@Groundeffected]

Gloss clear is so that the oil wash flows better over the surface and also to protect the layers of black and white from the thinners when cleaning up the oil wash stage. If you apply contrast directly you’ve missed the oil wash stage but that ok you don’t have to do that if you don’t want to but that’s how to make the creases and cracks look darker

[@darren990]

sick

[@theSnapcaseLIVE]

hey brother when you do your airbrushing do you use a mask and air filter etc like a car painter kinda thing? Just curious...

[@ChallingerScaleModels]

How much did you upscale this? Awesome work!

[@Groundeffected]

150%

[@perche26]

incredible work, 2 questions, with the small base can you add the banner? and at what layer height do you print?

[@HeroFighte]

The small base is missing the banner and the Heretic being crushed beneath his boots The big base is able to be printed in smaller parts though (it increases the amount of gaps needed to be filled in though) My proof? I have printed this model with the bug base and have nearly finished painting it, this video was a great educational piece though to show me on how to improve :)

[@miguellopez3392]

If you have a drill and some glue you can, i did my big base at .03 layer hight and model at .02 to hide layer lines.

[@Groundeffected]

Thanks. Someone already answered you. You can’t really use the banner. But I guess you could drill a hole and glue it in if you wanted. And I print at 0.05mm layer heights. With anti aliasing it’s good enough then a small amount of prep gets rid of whatever needs removing

[@DrasticXtempZ]

Love your vids. How much and do you thin all your paints?

[@Groundeffected]

Depends on the application. Not one answer for that really. If I want it to be thicker I don’t thin it but if I need it to flow more or tint stuff it could be thinned to near water

[@DrasticXtempZ]

@Groundeffected for example on your older superman video when you painted the yellow on his chest was that paint thinned or did you apply straight from bottle.
