[@atherma7229]

Holy crap man, that's a very good tutorial.

[@TotallyNotAMimic]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@radjoelad]

Love the different green accent look - nice to see some cool variation on these droids

[@TotallyNotAMimic]

Love units with a little custom flair.

[@nofoxtugiv7377]

Highly informational and entertaining! Excellent editing work, I look forward to seeing what comes next! Those droids look ready to blast away some clone troopers!

[@TotallyNotAMimic]

Thank you so much!

[@spacendeman]

Great fist video! And awesome paintwork. I also just started in October but with the Empire faction. Welcome to the hobby!

[@TotallyNotAMimic]

Thank you! How is your painting coming along? What Empire units have you done?

[@wkh1395]

looks really good for your first couple of mini's ,keep up the good work.

[@TotallyNotAMimic]

Thank you! A personal goal of mine for this channel is to be able to track my progress as a painter. I started painting in September of 2020 and have totally fallen in love with this hobby.

[@thekawna]

Awesome job! The squad looks great, I cant wait to see what other videos you have planed. KAW!

[@TotallyNotAMimic]

Thank you! KAW!

[@megapedia3981]

Really great work! I look forward to more content!

[@TotallyNotAMimic]

Thank you! I've got plenty more videos well on the way!

[@StephenMunzerCyni]

Great first video, man! Very well edited and informative

[@TotallyNotAMimic]

Thank you! I'm glad it was informative and not just me rambling for 10 minutes haha

[@SuperJeremy1982]

I followed Sorastro's guide when I painted mine original B1s, and I had the same problem with the contrast medium. I like your idea with the dry brushing of the guns with a metallic though, I might re-do my gun in with that technique. Good job, keep at it.

[@TotallyNotAMimic]

Thank you so much! How did you paint your blasters? I haven't really tried using the contrast medium since then but maybe its a situation where less is more?

[@SuperJeremy1982]

@@TotallyNotAMimic I just gave my blasters a coat of the Black Contrast paint, then dry brushed them with a tan. They look okay, but I think the metallic might give them an extra layer of interest.

[@TotallyNotAMimic]

Just a very light dry brush is enough to give a good effect. I like doing it this way because it gives the impression that the black is chipping away to reveal the metallic parts underneath.

[@KippyP77]

Well done...very professional!

[@TotallyNotAMimic]

Thank you!

[@TheHobbyman9]

Great video and the base looks great good job

[@TotallyNotAMimic]

Thank you! Im pretty limited on my basing supplies at the moment, but just started expanding my options which I'm really excited to try out.

[@slusby9013]

Great job! Nice graphics to boot!

[@TotallyNotAMimic]

Why thank you sir!

[@POzziee]

Great first vid, very professional. If I can make one suggestion, add a second coat of black around the base. Some are a little patchy and is a shame to let that spoil well painted miniatures

[@TotallyNotAMimic]

You're right! I miss details like this all the time haha

[@Ronin-ou2bu]

Congrats on your 1st vid

[@TotallyNotAMimic]

Thank you so much!

[@Toby0895]

Awesome job is mesmerizing your art

[@TotallyNotAMimic]

[@jonathankilby6636]

For a first squad thats pretty impressive

[@TotallyNotAMimic]

Why thank you!

[@MrAkuyume]

Great first video!

[@TotallyNotAMimic]

Thank you Thank you!

[@ZioGabrio]

Very good tutorial! keep it up waiting for the new tutorial on star wars legion

[@TotallyNotAMimic]

Thank you! I'll be posting new videos every week, this weeks video will be on Phase 1 Clone Troopers painted in 501st and 212th schemes.

[@ZioGabrio]

@@TotallyNotAMimic I look forward to it ☺️

[@mogwaiman6048]

Yeah the grey Vallejo primer is very light, reminds me of Citadel Grey Seer.

[@TotallyNotAMimic]

I'm loving the Grey Surface Primer for painting up Clones and Storm Troopers, it makes the process so quick and easy as well as gives a nice clean finish.

[@none-mv5ip]

When would you be uploading the super battle droids or ark troopers

[@TotallyNotAMimic]

I have the models for them but haven't painted them yet, not sure but I'm really eager to. Next video going up with be Phase 1 Clone Troopers

[@123Patrick]

Awesome! Very inspiring

[@TotallyNotAMimic]

Aww Thank you so much!

[@porgstew3657]

You are amazing but i feel like im slacking... you said you have only been painting for a few months. You show amazing high quality painted droids. I have been painting for about 7 months and mine look bad. Ill try these when i get the phase 2 clones. All i have now are american and germans from warlord games bolt action wargame.

[@TotallyNotAMimic]

So sorry for the late reply! You are not slacking! Everyone progresses at their own pace. I did a ton of research and practice before putting these models on camera. You should have seen the first model I painted, man it was rough! How has your painting progressed?

[@porgstew3657]

@@TotallyNotAMimic Dont be sorry. I would say im quite a bit better. I painted 40 germans in a few hours and that was not good but I realized I needed to slow down and do one squad at a time.

[@davidbright8978]

I notice my issue with the contrast paint is it seems to dry super fast

[@TotallyNotAMimic]

Yeah it can dry quite quick. Can be a good/bad thing depending on what you're doing.
