How to Paint NMM (Scale Mail) - HC 479

[@AislynAlder]

Pickles, indeed. Very grateful for all the hyper focused deep dives. Seems like every time I encounter a new problem in the hobby, there is an answer here. You're doing the Emperor's work.

[@Enballgroda1]

Came here since Vince seemed convinced no one would watch this video. I'm defying your expectations, Vince!

[@milamilla1977]

What!!?? How to paint scale mail???! Nobody? Wrong! Scale mail is the hardest to paint! All glory to the Teacher!

[@bodotrenaud7441]

Those very specific video probably makes lower view. Still enjoyable

[@ryankoehn8477]

Pickles! Even if I'll never paint NMM scale mail I love these videos because it helps me think about a specific application to a general concept. Maybe it'll help me paint NMM wings or anything else with lots of small pieces. Thanks for your consistent hobby cheating tips Vince!

[@Blackchance]

Pickles! Great work putting little niche videos like this out there, Vince. Stuff like this comes in handy way more often than you think. You don't need a video like this until you need it, and then you NEED it. Thanks in advance!

[@VinceVenturella]

You got it. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@MKempICI]

You're the real hero, Pickles. Thank you for the highlighting guide!

[@VinceVenturella]

Glad to help!

[@urnwaddly]

Pickle Vince the real MVP, giving tips to the masses without clickbait. ❤

[@brienheindl]

Pickles! Thanks for the precise detail. Your insight is greatly appreciated!

[@Carstig]

more pickles!

[@Orhnoh.]

I love pickles and Vince V videos! My "Highlight" of my Saturday! Thank you as always!

[@VinceVenturella]

Glad you're enjoying the video!

[@Orhnoh.]

@@VinceVenturella Always do! Thank you for being the biggest part of my journey in this hobby :)

[@jensburkhardt4006]

Thank you Vince. Since there is infinite possibility of surface light interaction in the real world I see watching a video like this as adding one piece to the puzzle that is NMM. I've yet to convincingly render the effect on anything so I am grateful for specifics like this

[@Slayernuke83]

This is one of the most informative videos for painting scale mail I have seen especially for pickles.

[@Finkeldinken]

Pickles for dayyyys! 13 minutes on something detailed like this is MY JAM.

[@KevinWagner-hb6kz]

Hey Vince, the irony of this video for me is, I was recently trying to figure this out while painting a few days ago. I really appreciate that you do videos like this, often when I’m stuck you are the first place I go to see what you have to say on the technique in question. I know it’s hard to do more content like this, because of views as you said, but when you do I’ll always watch and be thankful

[@phookaziz3]

Pickles all the way down! Thank you Vince after a hiatus from hobby your vids are a very nice way to jump back in.

[@VinceVenturella]

Glad you like them!

[@bryanm6826]

Pickles indeed - thanks for sharing your knowledge as always Vince.

[@TheScottishPsycho]

Perfect timing! I'm working on a 75mm Spira bust with scale mail that I'm going to do some NMM on.

[@steve6135]

Pickles! It’s amazing how just a tiny dot can make a big difference and help tell a story.

[@Kryptonite_V]

PICKLES! I love you, Vince - your style, your passion, your way of explaining and encouraging us mortal painters. I've been painting minis for over 30 years (with breaks), and my moving red bar never met yours - my best minis are still below your worst ;-) I still enjoy your tips and advice, and trying a new trick or method on the next mini keeps this hobby always interesting. I will remember this video next time I see scale mail! (though I might just double slap chop it and add a few extra highlights ... =D )

[@jasonfisher5004]

Pickles Mr Vince, pickles are the best. Just like our favorite painter Vince V.! Thank you for your continued effort to improve miniature painting for everyone!

[@ariellouit8523]

Do you need a lot of people and or popularity? Maybe a few good faithful pickles can do enough. I really appreciate the love you have for your work. No clickbait, not building some just to sell. That's mainly why I watch your videos! Hope I meet you personally one day!

[@lazyplatypua9643]

I like your very specific videos since they help the most. Everyone know how to paint a spacemarine, but when I need to paint pickles, I will come to you.

[@johnregister2946]

Loved the principle of treating the light on each scale as a whole, yet the light from each scale in interacting with the ones around them... Excited to fumble through these ideas in my next set of mail!

[@VinceVenturella]

Good luck with it!

[@spacedock873]

Pickles and beyond! 👍😆

[@ImadethisforFP2]

Yup, I needed this one lol. I was working on nmm scale right when this video came out, but I was tired of working on it so I didn't bother watching. Now that I'm back in the project, this is very helpful.

[@stylnox]

No, Vince, you are the real hero. making free content for US on the trenches. This videos are great and explain something that will transcend Scale Mail NMM.

[@VinceVenturella]

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying the video!

[@sw33n3yto00]

Pickles!! Thank you, Vinny, for making the narrow niche videos. Outside of a master class at a con, the information like this is impossible to find.

[@VinceVenturella]

You’re welcome! I’m always happy to cover the more niche painting topics.

[@wesleymatthews390]

Pickles! I don't always comment, but I do always watch to the end. Thanks for sharing your experience and wisdom! =D Cheers from Melbourne, Australia!

[@Ed-xo9pc]

Pickles!!! Although I always get to the end of your vids because I always learn so much from them. Plus you're a major source of hobby inspiration

[@andylewis7267]

Pickles! I love watching your videos. Very instructive and inspiring. Thank you

[@baslelavery8177]

I really do like videos such as these, even if something that I'm having issues painting isn't precisely what is being shown, there's always many tips that have carried over and helped. Also, pickles!

[@DanteStormsoul]

Pickles! This helped me think about highlighting in a different way. I am getting into NMM and this is going on my playlist of guides. Thanks!

[@derekgarcia3069]

Thanks for the pickles! Sorry, I mean the tutorial! I really enjoy these specific videos, even if I don't intend to paint display models. There's always something I can use for my tabletop painting (especially heroes and elites).

[@Gaslamp-Films]

Pickles. And I actually sent this to a friend who was stuck on her current painting that involves scale mail, so great timing!

[@VinceVenturella]

Excellent! I hope it works out for them!

[@dwarfanage9379]

Also, just fyi i’m already using this. Dont forget vince, that when you make a video, it also encourages us (the imaginary viewer) to pick up a mini that needs this technique

[@darrinscott6612]

Ain't no way I'm not gonna finish a hobby cheating video! Them pickles is what expanded my painting knowledge beyond Duncan Rhodes' tutorials years ago (and have improved since)

[@Illindi]

Looking forward to the third piece of this particular pickle, a very worthy addition to the well indexed library indeed.

[@epicbento7303]

Pickles! Thanks for the library of problem solving mini painting !

[@VinceVenturella]

Anytime! Keep painting!

[@kaikropp3254]

super specific but specifically helpful video! The whole deep dive series here is great! Thanks!

[@VinceVenturella]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Winterydee]

Pickles! I believe I've pickles for every HC video you've ever done. While I didn't start watching till shortly before you did your first video covering the color purple. During the time between then and now I went to the very first HC video, bad video & sound and watched them all. Out of all the miniature painters on KZbin, you are the one I recommend the most to anyone I meet who wants to learn any specific topic or techniques. This is because you always give such detailed explanations on each video as to exactly the how you are doing something along with the why.

[@VinceVenturella]

Thanks so much for the kind words, it really means a lot!

[@edavenport100]

I'm tickled that you had such a specific video on scale male NMM. Cold highlights sounds great too!

[@michaelbeighley775]

Pickles! I enjoyed the video and find your perspectives very helpful. Thank you!

[@the_sigil4340]

Vince, you’re a technomancer of the brush. I’m sure you can paint anything, even, I don’t know, a pickle or something

[@phoen31]

thanks for the tips, I don't think I'll ever get THAT detailed on painting minis,but I do appreciate the knowledge.. sometimes when I'm painting I hear "Shingles on a rooftop", so it helps me even. I need to add pickles to my shopping list.

[@heathersanto7779]

Pickles! This is incredibly informative to help me understand this. You could even have taken longer. These are the kind of videos your heroes want!

[@tjthompson379]

Pickles! Thanks for posting this. You continue to provide incredibly helpful and informative painting tips. Always one of the first sources of info I go to.when trying to learn or develop my skills

[@VinceVenturella]

Much appreciated!

[@benloukomies2147]

Pickles. Always pickles. Keep doing the Lord's work, Vince!

[@VinceVenturella]

Thanks! Will do!

[@Pharune616]

Pickles! Thanks for the great specific tips and overall wonderful content.

[@Razoth0815]

Pickles, also love the consistency of the extremly technical term "sticky outy bits". :)

[@dalekurdziel94]

Pickles. Thank you for being the tower of knowledge.

[@VinceVenturella]

Appreciate that!

[@janicetaylor3249]

thank you for making this! I watched through the whole thing!!! 🖤

[@dagor81]

How many pickles will make me a hero? Thank you for a yet another very comprehensive guide! I love watching each and every one of them!

[@bethanygraham427]

I learn something from every Vince video - pickles indeed :)

[@VinceVenturella]

That is what I aim for!

[@milamilla1977]

So do I. Pickles!

[@jacobtaylor9879]

I think i learned more in this video than I have in the last 10 year painting 😅 (extra pickles)

[@valeriepass]

Pickles!! Loved this! Thanks so much!

[@VinceVenturella]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@nothinboutnuthin]

I love pickles! This was a great video. We all are going to need this one day!

[@MonkeyNinja99]

Pickles! This was a super helpful video! Not sure why, but I would not have figured the correct lighting out on this. Can't wait to see part 3, also a topic I struggle with.

[@VinceVenturella]

Thanks! Part 3 is going to be great.

[@jefferymartens6303]

Pickled it to the end, lol. I was looking forward to this one!

[@bitflipped]

15 minute videos on hyper specific subjects really pique my pickle...s Also I tend to watch your videos for the general technical detail you always include, I may not want to paint scale mail any time soon, but I am interested in learning more about how lighting works and I just did!

[@notjunie]

Pickles! I'm definitely interested in more hyper-specific topics, this was incredibly helpful. Thank you.

[@micheljacobs5370]

Thank you for sharing this video. Here are some pickles of appreciation.

[@MaskedRiderChris]

Garlic. Dill. Pickles. My ongoing struggle with NMM can only benefit from this video, so thank you, Vince!

[@craftworldbononia]

Pickles!! I am learning the NMM and this video is gold. I hope you can give us an other video on this topic and how to make it work with 28mm miniatures because i struggle with their tiny details

[@randallschmucker7590]

Pickles! Really enjoy the explanations of lighting.

[@VinceVenturella]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@coryway6951]

Pickles! Great video, I've always found NMM on small items a huge challenge

[@VinceVenturella]

I know what you mean, it takes practice!

[@rhag1394]

Great guide once again!! Thank you.

[@hendrickvanrensselaer5147]

PICKLES. Ive been struggling with understanding nmm, but that scale metaphor had definitely helped me to conceptualize it

[@nittneylion84]

Pickles. I WATCHED! I’M AHERO! Thanks Vince. Good video

[@Benstinator5000]

A few days late to the party, but this video was great. Can't wait to use a lot of this advice painting some seraphon

[@solstica]

Thanks for the great video, love the depth and detail you put in each one of your videos. I have been learning alot since I found out about your channel ,let’s pickles away

[@VinceVenturella]

I'm glad you're enjoying the channel!

[@ByEmberAndAsh]

Pickles. Looking forward to part 3!

[@deathabillypete570]

I highlighted the pickle and now I'm ready for the realm of ghur-kin!

[@Glatius]

Pickles ❤. Also what are your thoughts on using different varnish to sell different effects? I.e. maybe putting satin or gloss over nmm to sell the effect further?

[@VinceVenturella]

In general, it won't sell. It's actually counter-productive to the illusion, because it creates unwanted reflections and light where you have placed shadows or so on.

[@tychoMX]

Pickles are good, but not as good as the specular reflection at the tip of every scale. Very clever idea to continue selling the credibility of these materials.

[@coffeepoweredgaming6634]

Pickles. another awesome video, will be sharing with all my buddy's

[@johnattemptsstuff5206]

Thank you! I watch for this Specific reason.

[@TheMiniaturesPaintbrush]

Awesome advice!, Thank you, you had me rethink scale!

[@VinceVenturella]

Glad it was helpful!

[@redrooster7371]

Pickels! 😊 I always watch the whole video!

[@VinceVenturella]

Yay! Thank you!

[@Bladeofperdition]

Pickles. Thanks for the video, very helpful and informative

[@amuk3]

[@devinchisholm5587]

Pickles! While as you say these videos do not do well, I very much appreciate them!

[@VinceVenturella]

Glad you enjoy them!

[@Baron4Oz]

Pickles. This was awesome, really good info.

[@VinceVenturella]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Uselesswizard]

Pickles! Great video Vince!

[@VinceVenturella]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@andyharris5022]

Pickles. Thanks Vince. Nice guide.

[@robmaeda6233]

Doing my part. In any case, I always think about where light would reflect to the viewer’s eyes based on the type of light source. I guess, I assume that the metal surface is like a mirror (more or less scratched up) and think of bounce lights as things in the scene reflecting towards the viewer. Just my 2 cents. Thanks for your insights.

[@johnattemptsstuff5206]

14:30. I'm glad Jon gave it back.😂

[@JWbrasser]

VINCE VINCE HE TOLD ME PICKLES IT WAS THE FUNNIEST THING I EVER SAW!

[@alexapplegate932]

Pickles. I find all your videos useful!

[@claytonleal7947]

Sweet dilly goodness i love this pickley niche content

[@tomekhekin914]

This is not weird it is very useful. I was struggling with exactly nmm chainmail on my Valten month ago

[@davidgrimmer9219]

Pickles, thanks for the detailed breakdown.

[@alun7006]

I am nowhere near this level, but I am still learning! Thanks for sharing. (Pickles)

[@VinceVenturella]

You can do it!

[@pauls3585]

Pickles! Awesome video!
