How to paint Da Road Boss

[@sethharley5557]

It’s worth the wait, glad to see you back on KZbin 🙏

[@Mezgike]

Thanks so much, I’ve got a lot of content coming for you

[@Numtalegau]

Stellar job. That part about "believing in yourself" whilst freehanding the arm tattoo is Orky AF and lore accurate. Because we ALL believe you will suceed.

[@Mezgike]

Haha! Thanks

[@jonathaningram7529]

You know I love a good smooth rim. I'm proud of Da Road Boss' rim. Incredible miniature, paint job and production.

[@Mezgike]

Thanks bro :) glad the rim is up to your standards

Mez you are my favorite minature painter. Its not just your fantastic modelling and painting style but your relaxed almost uncaring attitude that really makes you stand above the rest. I'm glad you are back brother. All the best to you.

[@Mezgike]

Woo!

[@terrydactyl2077]

So bloke at the Warhammer shop in Broady says that because the models are small that that makes it easier which he said is counter intuitive. Would that be coz a larger model would have more chances to show mistakes and bad brush lines etc? Kinda makes sense but also painting minis seems pretty tricky. I’m still waiting for my first ever stuff to arrive and have no clue how it will be yet.

[@Mezgike]

Well I guess being small makes them easy to handle, and there is less surface area to paint. My advice is to go into this expecting it to be exciting, fun and enjoyable, not something that is either easy or hard. The harder you try the harder it is, which only means you’re pushing yourself to do your best. There are so many ways to paint minis. You can spend hours painting a hand, or you can spend 1 minute. It’s up to you to find the balance of what looks best to you, how long you want to spend, and how enjoyable you make it.

[@terrydactyl2077]

@@MezgikeI’m using this video as a basis for my Orks. I especially like the darker greens you use as I don’t like the really bright green that I often for their skin. I think Orks are good for me to start with as they are naturally messy anyway. But! I have to say I like your tutorials most because of the way you talk about painting and that it isn’t something to fret over. When you say things like “We’re just getting this bit here done. We’re not worried” means a lot and is super encouraging to me and no doubt many painters noob and pro. You often remind us watching that we need not worry about shit so much and that will help us to branch out and get better and not care about mistakes. And I put off starting war gaming coz I used to tell myself I’d be shit at painting the minis. Fucking love your work mate!

[@ElysianClipz]

Welcome back. Your tutorials are my favourite

[@Mezgike]

Glad to hear it. I have a lot of plans for this channel

[@terrydactyl2077]

The green “radar” look on the dials reminds me of the screens in the glider scene from Escape from New York. Interesting way James Cameron who was the FX dude at the time made them. Chucked like glow the dark tape or special black light tape onto edges of black boxes shaped like buildings.

Amazing model and amazing paint job. Always a pleasure to see a Mezgike video. Plus, there is a way to make Agrax better, add more Agrax to it, twice the Agrax is better than once the Agrax, simple Ork math. As a side question, what is your opinion on the good ol' contrast paints, don't think I ever seen you use them.

[@Mezgike]

This is genius. Of course you can make agrax better, why didn’t I think of this! I haven’t really given the contrast paints a solid go to be honest, I mean not like how they were designed to be used. I use them a lot as either glazes or thin them down with washes.
