WHY...why is your channel soooo underated XD, this is THE best Citidal painting channel i have yet seen through mutiple platforms, not just youtube!!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks mate, that really means a lot. 😘

[@farnball1]

Most underrated video for painting miniature bases... Thank you Juan for showcasing your technique!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks! 😘

[@Ed-xo9pc]

Another great video intro! At this point Im loving your sense of humour as much as your awesome vids

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks mate 😘

[@rhag1394]

Wow, you really nailed the look of the boards on that base! Thank you for the great cobblestone tutorial

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thank you for watching 😘

[@AEDEM100]

I laughed so hard on the intro 🤣 great job as always! I used Spellcrow resin bits before, they are high quality! Thank you for the tutorial, keep up the good work!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks mate 😘 Much appreciated

[@vikinggamerdad742]

I just want to say that I still use this video for reference for my bases in Cursed City. It is spot on for the game and blends in great with the board tiles. Spell Crow all the way for the based too. I did my whole set including expansions with their products.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks!!

[@RealLonesamurai]

The foil to make texture is genius! Another like for you sir!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks 😘

[@bingobassen]

Hey Juan. I just wanted to say that you make fantastic content. I used this recipe on my Screaming Bell and it came out amazing. Thank you so much for your hard work and for making me a better painter.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks, that really means a lot

[@13Robzilla]

The accuracy is amazing. Thank you for sharing and please stay safe.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thank you for watching mate 😘

[@SunChaserXVII]

Incredible work! Really good match to the board tile, you even got a similar artistic aesthetic as well as matching the colours. Nice to see someone using those Spellcrow flagstones, too; I've been curious about them for a while, and this has convinced me to try them out.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks! I really appreciate it. I was very impressed by the tiles, the casting quality is just outstanding. Forgeworld could learn a thing or two

[@lovemysi07]

I wish i had the eye that you do in picking your colors. Those two blues are great and the mix with green shade is amazing.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks ☺️

[@pgabrieli]

stunning and really a perfect match to the game's tiles! THANKS!!!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Ice cold! Sweet JH Ice. Wow, yes that Coellia greenshade really brought it home.

Your base looks way better than the game tiles. Great job.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks

[@LocoGod]

Fantastic job. Thank you. Will try it out but with little different colours

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Awesome!

[@TheGavunit]

Wow, your channel is awesome. Your intros are absolutely hilarious.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks, I just try to amuse myself if I'm honest

[@jurriaandejongh8677]

Just did ny first batch following your tutorial for the Ulfenwatch. It looks amazing! Easy when you get into it and just so color accurate to the games tiles.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Happy to help! I'm very proud of the colour matching I achieved, not going to lie

I will as well

[@michaelchurchill883]

I’m trying this out now :) !!! Thanks for the detailed video ^_^

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Happy to help 😘

[@paulbaker5256]

Very nice. I made my pavement tiles by cutting small squares and rectangles out of 2mm plasticard, then using a sharp knife to cut the edges down so they look irregular.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

That also works as do believe it or not lasagna sheets.

[@KOTEC525]

well done! The most difficult part of painting for me is to paint something the color of the atmosphere rather than the color of the item itself... like this base specifically... you painted stone, but didn't use a single "stone" color like grey... great stuff!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks ☺️

[@martinkitt2947]

These are awesome, and quite a decent match to the board tiles too. Did you cut the base stubs off the minis and pin them to the bases or did just a dab of superglue suffice?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

They are pinned yes

[@DareToWonder]

What type of cutters do you use? what do you think of the GW cutter?

[@ignaciodiez7748]

Me ha encantado el vídeo con ganas de ver tutorías de alguna figura!!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Ya hay uno 😘

[@christiansebine7316]

Te ha quedado una base cojonuda! Y verte esculpir da gusto 🤩

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Gracias guapo 😘

[@harrymanback3475]

Nailed it! Great job 👍

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks 😘

[@pete_the_bak]

Love the look of those bases but I've got a ton of stuff to paint so looking to save a bit of time. Could you get a similar effect by drybrushing up from mechanics grey, dawnstone etc then using a contrast? If so, which one would you recommend? Happy to follow with more washes / glazes

[@CrimsonTemplar2]

I’ve been waiting for this video & I was not disappointed. Are you going to use this same recipe for painting the bits of broken masonry on some of the minis (such as the Raven objectives, gravestones, & vyrkos blood-born)? Also, I found the intro very amusing.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks mate 😘

[@CrimsonTemplar2]

You’re welcome. I edited my comment after finishing the video (& buying those tiny tufts).

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Yes I will, I want my minis to be fully coordinated in colour

[@CrimsonTemplar2]

Excellent. I’ll be sure to tag you on IG when I post some painted minis.

[@cartouchator]

You can also buy a roller from green stuff world where you just roll it over the green stuff (or milliput your choice) and you get perfect paving stone effects. Warning, keep the roller very wet so the green stuff doesn't stick to it.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

They are a great option for sure but I always get a better result sculpting it by hand

[@r0bb909]

Used this sweet tutorial on a Bloodborne character I printed.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Awesome fit for this basing!

[@TBrand5]

I’m all about those intros, had to stop and like!

Could you make a guide on feathering please using these colours I’d love to attempt this base but don’t understand how to feather the paint. Thanks for the help! Beautiful bases mate 👍🏻

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

There's nothing more to show than what's there in the video. Is that simple. Apply paint, clean brush in water, absorb extra water from the brush, blend paint with the clean brush. That's all.

[@xboxSeMpLe]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures much appreciated bud, thanks for the reply!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Always happy to help

[@C3ns0rious]

great video as always thank you for making it.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thank you for watching 😘

[@DiegoPerez-ot5jl]

I really enjoyed this tutorial. Can you use milliput instead of green stuff?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Of course, but as it behaves differently you might need to tweak the technique a bit. Also remember milliput dissolves with water

[@michanowak3207]

This looks amazing! How many pavements should one order from Spellcrow to base the whole game?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

That is a good question actually, but I don't know to be honest. You can see at the start of the video how much product I used for one skeleton and more or less calculate how many models one slate will do. Sorry I cannot be more helpful.

[@MartinoFisogni]

Amazing work!!!!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks

[@craigrides3209]

Fantastic video as always, so looking forward to painting up my Cursed City miniatures and will definitely following your guides! What method do you use to fix the miniature to the base afterwards? Plastic glue only, Super glue only or a combination of glue & pinning? I ask as the plastic tiles seem to be pretty fragile so concerned that drilling into them to pin a miniature in place will cause the tile to break

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

I just use super glue but pinning is 100% doable

[@jocruzf]

Otra clase magistral. Que buena capacidad de replicar colores! Grc por compartir. Voy a copiar tu técnica pero con el roller y putty :))). JH una pregunta... Cuando haces el feathering, tu pincel tiene agua? Esta inundado, húmedo, lo pasas por toalla antes te pintar? Grccccc

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Está húmedo pero ya, no quieres demasiada agua

[@kjackson939]

Fantastic video! Bien hecho! Do you find that the Vallejo textured line adheres well to unprimed surfaces?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

It's not bad, as good as any other textured paint but if you want a super durable base, prime the empty base first.

[@jpick8245]

jajajajjajajja best intro in painting ever

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Gracias guapo 😘

[@kaibe5241]

FUCK that looks good. wtf Was not expecting that end result from the base colour!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

IT'S MAGIC

[@life_kluda]

Did you apply a primer before that first color? Should I do chaos black or corax white?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Corax

[@Voxen88]

beautiful

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks

[@GeekHouseYT]

Aaaaaaand ordered.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Awesome!

[@Happytrooper6]

Quick question: could you use sprues as tiles and rocks for this?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Why not? Feel free but I personally think it way too much work for it to be worth but you do you!

[@Happytrooper6]

Thanks man

[@joan500x]

Es la base mas bonita que he visto en mi vida :O

Love all your videos and painting style. Would you be interested in doing a lovely Slaanesh deamonette model? Cheers and keep up the great work!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

All factions will get a video with time.

[@diregnome4898]

Won't the green stuff come off of the base or is the texture enough to hold it? I know it doesn't stick to smooth plastic. I have had to super glue it.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

GS can come loose of bare plastic once it's cured, yes. If you are careful you shouldn't have any issues but if it comes off just glue it down

[@clintari]

I need help! I’ve included some wood bits onto my cursed city style bases but can’t figure out how to paint them! They look a bit off. How would you paint wood in this style?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Watch the Deadwalker Zombie vídeo, there's two types of wood there.

[@vikinggamerdad742]

How do you mount the minis to these bases? Just super glue?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Yes, pinning if necessary
