[@akumaking1]

What about Elegoo water washable resin?

[@cpthardluck]

My brother in Christ you posted every link on the painting vid except for the paints (and primer).

[@danielsw.9409]

Answer to your question: Yes, please more content on different painting techniques or tools. I really like that you ALWAYS! consider an audience which is lacking basic knowledge/ best practices about specific workflows, when creating your videos. This is really helpful for beginners, but I think that even some advanced painters out there might be able to profit from the repitition of basics.

[@therealraysiel]

samesies. always something to learn. what was that rust effect stuff you mentioned? it looks awesome!

[@johgis]

Agree with this as well!

[@monkeydad47]

I would love more hobby centric videos! In general I just really enjoy watching people paint models regardless if it's a tutorial video or not. It's just satisfying to watch, ya' know?

[@TheEightshot]

I am 100% for seeing more miniature painting stuff. I think casting your net wide would give your channel more appeal and resiliance to quiet 3D printing times.

[@Tarok-2316]

Thanks for bringing up OPR, and for the video

[@HamsterChew]

Love to see everybody's different approach to the hobby. Thanks for your time and effort.

[@KevinJernigan]

Nice to see OPR getting some more love, been subscribed to them for awhile now. I wish more people knew about the GW alternatives.

[@MrLightmass]

Yes. Please do more videos on painting 3D printing and other hobby topics in general. Big fan of your no-nonsense opinions that get straight to the point. 100% agree with the speed painting/army painting comment. I have realized that my hobby IS 3D printing, so anything that gets my models painted faster is golden. Probably why I like guy so much.

[@johnrandecker8063]

I love to see different peoples' approaches to patinting models. I take the parts that work for me and apply them to my one process 🙂 I pretty much always pick up a tip or two from everyone and I've been panting minis for longer than Citadel has been making paint!

[@hamthomas4715]

Absolutely add more content around hobby tools other than printers!

[@nm72510]

I would love to hear about more tools for the hobby. I think the painting tutorial videos are oversaturated on KZbin, but things like carrying cases, brushes, paints, display cases, etc. isn't something well covered. As a crafting DM, I have plenty of channels on making things, but a channel covering these tools and accessories would be great (aside from being my go-to channel for all things resin printers)!

[@obsidiancube174]

Yes please! I would love to see more content on painting techniques and tips and tricks.

[@FauxHammer]

Thanks. I just release another one this week about Villiany Inks. Let me know what you think…

[@nannerstout3877]

The other topics would be interesting as well. I'm trying to find my right process for painting, but my first step was just getting paint on a brush and putting it to a model rather than overthinking it. That's been my biggest barrier lol

[@chrishurley3439]

100% yes, please bring anything hobby related, your content is brilliantly done and love watching. So thank you and keep it coming.

[@GDSMiniatures]

No Fauxhammer, you're the hot tool right now... ...is this how you compliment?

[@FauxHammer]

I’ll take it as one

[@Strixx23]

Yes please, on branching out into other hobby tools and techniques.

[@robertpenduck8455]

I love the content of your channel I'm always surprised by your easy painting style and effects and also your printer reviews either resin or Fdm you always give a no nonsense approach to the product and show the good and the bad side of the device under review great channel and you make a Welsh man very happy.

[@nicholassmith5206]

Yes mate. Do some more painting stuff. Don't get me wrong you have helped no end with my printer purchase and I always direct others to your channel for printing reviews but as someone who has watched all your stuff I would love to see more of the painting side of things.

[@SirDarkWonka]

thanks for the video

[@Mikeellis1244]

Personally I'm a painter not a gamer, and the building, and painting is all the fun for me!

[@stacytuttle9332]

Your channel is great. All your topics are relevant and useful. Your detailed, specific, and orderly - so make the vids how you see fit and don't worry if someone thinks your taking too long to "get to the point". This hobby is all about the bloody details to begin with so if someone thinks you need to "just get on with it" I suspect they also only ever want to know "what's your exposure time?" and little else (and wonder why they keep getting crappy prints). Nope. Just keep doing it the way you want. You're consistently spot on mate.

[@chrismyers788]

I am getting into the hobbies of 3D printing and painting and I have found your reviews and videos to be top notch! I will happy watch anything you're doing! Well done!

[@SpudzLuv]

Yes to more miniature painting videos please, just starting out and concentrating on keeping between the lines is my current goal, would be great to maybe go into depth on watering down paints, mixing etc. Do you have a video on prepping large models, gluing, filling in crevasses, what you use etc?

[@zenthai1368]

Been loving these series you've been doing! I appreciate how the time you put into all your videos and how thorough you are. Always very informative and entertaining, but most important, with safety always in mind. I appreciate that very much. Thanks for what you're doing for the community and keep up the great work!!! Thanks mate!

[@patrickassmus3132]

Dry brushing for the win. Love how it pulls the details out. I like the “back to basics” videos.

[@christiangruening352]

For the priming phase I highly recommend either the AK Primer and Microfiller from the Xtreme Metal Range or the spray can AK microfiller. It really bonds to the mini and fills any layer lines that might be visible very well. The approach is the same as with any primer 2 to 3 very thin coats then one final slightly thicker coat

[@Deefourteen]

Looking forward to part 4 and 5 of 2. 3D modeling and 3D scanning. There is always more that can be covered. Thank you for the helpful info. Keep them coming.

[@marinermerrill3884]

Please talk more about tools as well! I’d really enjoy that!

[@Valllentine]

I've definitely gotten more interested in painting miniatures and statues and what not so this is cool to see

[@theinsane88]

From the STL to the game table! Amazing job on getting more people interested in the hobby

[@Orothrim]

Absolutely I'd enjoy videos about other parts of the hobby. My main reason for interest in resin printers is the printing and painting a much larger variety of minis.

[@matthewdavenport4030]

If you're priming with airbrush primer, I recommend a drop of matt varnish in your primer. Airbrush primers lack the binding agent of rattle cans, and on resin in particular, I've found that the paint will chip off easily. Alterantively, you can also just throw a quick coat of varnish on after the original priming layer.

[@Iskelderon]

Thank you! I'm more of a scale model and diorama builder and only dabble in figures, but most of that still translates quite well.

[@kieronlong7032]

Yes, I thank a lot of people. I would like to see more on the painting side. I would also like to see resin reviews as well. Different brands versions of clears or tough resins, best for its worth and what to avoid cause I know that's a big problem beginners don't know where to srart

[@Pacerfan]

Really enjoy watching others hobbying techniques. Please continue with this kind of content.

[@colinrice9302]

Yes, do more varied equipment! I’ll check out your recommendations, tutorials and brushes.

[@supertopdom]

Fauxhammer is one of the reason i started to really get into 3d printing. all the printer reviews really helped me out. Its too bad i didnt learn about it before i bought my first printer else i would have bought a gktwo to start.

[@MiaTsukiyoko]

Personnaly, I tried some portable airbrush, with a can sized air compressor under it (there is also models with it linking to a more classical tube) for around 40€, and it also work relatively well. Mostly use it on large model with speedpaint on top of my slapshop base to speed the process of getting them on the table, and it work well

[@predator837]

great video like before! I recently found out you can make your own texture paint with sand and watered down pva glue, mix in some paint and it's ready to go for anything you might need, and you can keep it mixed in an airtight container with no problem.

[@venmita]

Even though miniatures are not my cup of tea, the techniques you display here are very valuable even for the type of products I would love to make with a resin printer! Really nice to see your skills and technique here :]

[@pablofiasco2]

ive Finally been messing around with Speedpaints myself, picked up the "Battletech starter" paint set from The Army Painter, its got 5 of thier speedspaints in it (although they give them battletech related names, they are duplicates of other speedpaints they sell), very very slowly learning how to use them and contrast and all that jazz

[@tv9mpeti]

I've started following your channel for the 3D printing stuff, but that being said, I'd love to hear more about painting and all the other aspects of the hobby.

[@Tetsant]

I would absolutely appreaciate content related to paint techniches and tools, I am on the boat of making it easier to enjoy more of the miniature when you don't want to make an art piece out of everything.

[@xX_Zieva_Xx]

I would love more videos on painting techniques and different tools. I love painting and I do have an airbrush but getting the paint to go where I want it too has been a struggle. Thanks for another great video :)

[@RedGentlemanPrivate]

As the other videos great information and plainly explained. Never thought about how my primer coat changes the outcome of my top coats, really helpful information. Keep up the good stuff and would love to see more painting tips

[@orwinden]

Definitely would like to see reviews/guides on other tools and products since miniature painting actually got me interested in 3d printing :)

[@TrueKelawi]

I would love some videos on paint and painting! Even suggestion on how to paint terrain quickly and efficiently.

[@karljackson9523]

Good advice and useful techniques. Always wanted to airbrush but lacked confidence, dry brushing seems a great place to start though. 👍

[@nickbuckner7302]

Just looking into resin printing and miniatures. Your videos have been informative and encouraging for new comers!

[@scotthoeft6633]

a good reminder to not take other advice literally, apply what works for you

[@Gregatron13]

I would love to see more about other tools you use, and especially hear about things you've tried that didn't work so well.

[@S.A.S.H.]

By all means I'd love to watch more varied videos! Your approach to reviewing 3D printers would, I think, lend itself to other tools of the hobby quite well, so go for it. Please.

[@OmniCookie]

I’ve always wanted to get into mini painting. And find these videos about the basics very informative.

[@windforward9810]

The answer yes I would expand what you present. The key sometimes is do what you enjoy add that to your content otherwise you will get stale and later burn out.

[@jasoncheung9410]

Awesome video as always . Nice technique on painting and very simplified about painting miniatures. Do more content about tools ,Printers ,resins, paints and all products you think that would take out the guest work for beginners . Cause of your videos I now own a ElEGOO SATAN ULTRA using water washable resin and the prints come out awesome. Keep up the good work . Looking forward to your future videos

[@EverywhereDatGuy]

Beginner here and I'm learning quite a bit. One thing that I've been a little wary about is painting the models I want to print. It's kind of scary! Thanks for the video. Very informative.

[@Legionx17]

Thanks for another excellent vid! I find keeping it simple always best, so keep the back to basic vids coming!!

[@michaelpurvis2387]

A very informative video! I had never seen the "slapchop" method of painting before. It's given me an idea for painting a "ghost" effect on a larger injection molded styrene figure kit that I've been working on for years.

[@medianx-work]

This is really helpful. I am about to start painting my first miniatures from the Stormlight Archive kickstarter.

[@Wayatoon]

More videos are always welcome.

[@Brettoh]

Chaos Black, then paint. Never fails.

[@threegees]

Great vid. Love the painting, love the shoutouts to other great hobby KZbinrs and yes please to more hobby videos to compliment the printer vids. Keep up the awesome work!

[@-Wolfheart]

I’m just getting into 3d printing. I just got a Saturn 3 the other day. I think painting will be the toughest and most tedious of the processes doing this.

[@PhilippeCouture-vz3tf]

i would love to see more details on YOUR techniques on how to paint and on wich tools to use for each techniques. as for now a followed all of your tips and i can't be more happy. i even become friend with some of the uniformation staff because they wanted to know how i was able to print on 0.75 sec. exposure. i just said that i followed all of your tips and tricks and that you pointed me in the direction i needed to learn and become better at each print :) so i wanna do the same thing with my painting skills. and now, it's done, done and done 🤣😂

[@minky1990]

Wouldn't mind you branching out to some more miniature painting content, or rather returning to what you started out with in the first place.

[@BrenGunR]

Hello! Please do more hobby centered videos. I always find them very helpful. Even if I've seen dozens of videos, I still pick up a new tip or trick.

[@armoredjoey]

warp models also comes from letting your models get soft by sitting in warm water or your cleaning solution for too long. I dont like using the warm water because of this. A hair dryer on low warm setting works much better than the warm water IMO. It also helps dry off any remaining cleaner left on it.

[@austin11germer]

Great video! I'd love more info on airbrushes, brushes in general that you'd recommend and other tools that make painting miniatures easier and more successful.

[@kurtkuschinski1425]

I like the "back to basics" approach.

[@PulsefiredGaming]

This denser content is huge improvement on your previous videos. Painting videos are good content to have going

[@Pyro-89]

I liked seeing the painting, I think you should include some painting videos more regularly on models that you have printed.

[@frozenhowl]

thanks for making an intro series :) very handy to show to people

[@jon007agent]

Great video as always. genuine great advice for anyone how starts painting

[@winjones4255]

This is an entirely new world for me and the video is incredibly helpful as to how I can get started if I win the printer

[@PaulMD]

Loved this one and would love to see more painting tips/workshop tour type of thing.

[@chrisradford5630]

More detailed model painting and techniques would be great ... recently just got into 3D printing but only fdm but seriously looking at a resin printer after seeing the detailed models they produce. so going to hit up your review videos before I take the plunge and make my mind ....keep up the great work !.

[@Elijah.Lionel.Newmacht]

I say yes to the question sounds great would be cool to find out what products are available out there. Also great channel recommendations for painting Duncan is the man !! And I also agree about your approach to painting being therapeutic. Im currently creating a major 40K narrative requiring a ton ov conversions and top quality painting so honestly the whole process is so rewarding creating characters you’ve been working on for years finally brought to life. I use to study 3d animation and wanna get back into it to creating and sculpt figures myself and maybe animate some stuff to anyway to translate my ideas would be sweet. Again thanks for great video mate always appreciated here best of luck to the winner 😁🫡

[@brianmaxwell912]

I like this video a lot, I also love to print my models and then paint. I’d love to see some more paintings and possibly some tutorials for painting. I have my first resin printer ordered which is the Phrozen sonic mighty Revo. Can’t wait to try resin. My Bambu lab printers are amazing but can’t capture that insane level of detail. Also I need a review for that Revo! lol awesome content keep it up!

[@Cool34001]

I havent done any painting before. I might try it

[@JameTek]

I appreciate these videos. I'm waiting for my first resin printer to show up next month (ugh, the wait!) and I'm famously clumsy and incompetent at anything artistic. But I'd sure love to make decent looking models now that I'll have the capability to print them...

[@BarniMolnar]

Thank you for making an extra part to the series! I'd like to start painting my minis eventually so I'd be interested to see more of your videos on the topic! But first I want to get better at actually printing the minis lol

[@louis_sckr42]

that brings me back to my scale model days. Now I can print that stuff and paint it lol. Eventhough I mostly do engineering parts.

[@henrywood8380]

I definitely have learned some useful information from your videos and reviews. Thank you!

[@SparktheFox]

Nice introduction to painting models. I am just starting out painting my 3d prints, and I like to see, what kind of techniques are out there. :D

[@charmande80]

Liking the shorter video format, still lots of good information. I need to start painting my stuff at some point.

[@angelofmenoth]

Remove supports BEFORE curing. Hot water always, then remove supports. No real clean up needed unless you're using supports that are too big to start with. Cure and you're good to go. Any super thing support strings that you didn't manage to separate on both sides will pop off perfectly after curing without any marks. Use poster tack on feet and you won't need to do any drilling. Chaos Black is a spray paint, not a spray primer. There IS a difference.

[@mhateys]

on my ender fdm i've never had good prints for miniatures, but since a have my bambu p1 series, goddamn im back into miniatures.. its amazing what the latest fdm printers can do

[@tcunero]

so nice to have printing and painting all in one. Thanks!

[@Guzwar]

I'd love to see in-depth air brush (and compressor?) reviews in the style of your printer reviews. Not just "Button good, flow smooth", but the little things that other reviewers can't/don't pick out for whatever reason.

[@StumblingBumblingIdiot]

Definitely branch out and have fun with it! I hate painting..I HATE painting. I have 0 patience for it and I suck at it so all of my stuff is unpainted. This is why I gravitate to using my FDM printers more as I can do colors a lot easier even though I am not lucky enough to have a X1C.

[@krempelritter9950]

I'd like to see you talking about various tools and techniques. Also I'd like to know more about your extractor in particular and about ventilation in 3d printing and spraypainitng in general, like what fans to use and airflow needed. If you don't mind getting into detail, I'd like to hear about your opinion on active charcoal filtration, automated fan control and ideal climate factors (especially humidity) for painting and printing, too. Great viedo, btw. I'm very happy to have your guides to my newest hobby. Thank you!

[@FauxHammer]

Already got a video on the extractive that helps? It’s a Benchvent 300D

[@krempelritter9950]

@@FauxHammer I kinda missed that one, but I just watched it and I think I might get one of those. Tanks again!

[@jaym2381]

Definitely interested in more painting technique videos. I wasn't aware of the term "slap-chop" for a technique I was using on 15mm miniatures about 30 years ago. I also wonder if you could do a comparison video between the GKTwo and the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra?

[@simonhigginbotham5663]

Thumbs up for branching out to other hobby subjects.

[@angelofmenoth]

Who doesn't love some OPR models? I see Saurians and Duchies of Vinci. some of my faves. Hot water is for before curing. Never remove supports after curing. That's how you get bad marks and pocks. Curving during curing is entirely up to not knowing the proper curing time for your resin. If you're going to dial in your print settings, you should work out the best curing for your models. Some resins are much more forgiving for over-curing, too.

[@windforward9810]

😢 Had a long winded statement type up and it’s deleted. lol So you are a very good painter that represents how most people paint speed paint your base troops and spend a little effort on the character troop aka leaders or big models. As far as onepage rules miniature they are a little odd on how they designed , I signup on there paeton page since November the odd part is there is so much of a choice that you can choose from, I don’t know which to print out. There supports are the easiest to come off the miniature and leave less damage. So as I said they are odd in that someone over there spend the time placing the supports on there models. I would 100% say if you have not printed one of their models you are missing on model that is just great to look at.

[@archfrank]

Yes, more content on hobby tools Whatever you put on your site could be on your youtube

[@Lotorens]

nice tips, love painting my prints and realy make them pop.

[@soup-r-stitious]

Nice, i just printed some minis and this really helps.

[@josephhalfacre1584]

Nice culmination to a beginners guide.

[@B3RG3RS0N]

Yes please. More details as I'm petrified of painting😂
