As someone who poses people in front of a camera for a living, all that work for really just changing the stance to something more dynamic makes a MASSIVE difference in the feel of this design. It takes the model from a yawn to a wow. Incredible work my guy!

The talk about the problematic part and the need to refresh your head and go back made me subscribe.

[@WePaintMinis]

I feel its important to let people know that it doesn't always go the way that you want, but also, it's not over either. A lot of people take a break from painting and then come back, so it makes sense to do the same for kitbashing 😊. Thank you for the comment. 😊

[@oilyalarm0614]

I made something similar using a normal primaris captain and Ulrik, i didn’t use Ulrik’s cape as i were not confident i could do it, ended up removing the helmet from his hands and using it, sculped the wolf skull on the crozius, ended up using a normal heavy bolt pistol instead of a absolver pistol, used a hand from the wulfen kit on the left arm and made him hold the crozius similar to how Ulrik holds it, then i used Ulriks backpack. A fine wolf priest for my space wolves succesor chapter, that is a lot more welcoming of the curse of the wulfen, therefore the use of a wulfen hand. Didn’t end up finishing the painting, mostly have the highlights left

I’m a long time kit basher Since about 10 years old when I turned a mig 25 into a space cruiser by way of a Bismarck and a billion extra pieces I got from damage model grab bags from my local model shop in 1978. I think you might be my favorite modeler on Utube. As of now, I’d like some shorts on your process for sprue goo, types of tools you like and why Your paint techniques and process if your looking for a direction for future videos. Consider a static time-lapse with a voice over on painting vids. Hit that algorithm get paid and explode in popularity.

Hi Bill, thanks for the feedback. I do intend to get a lot of what you said going in the future; currently finding my footing in the world of KZbin as well as striking the right balance between thus, family life, work and fun haha. I appreciate your kind words and I have most definitely taken on board your feedback. I hope I get to integrate it into my content sooner rather than later. 😊

[@jaggedtoothgrin]

Wow that turned out great I was really expecting this one to be a little underwhelming because of how recent and good the plastic Ulrik already was, but damn you knocked it out of the park. One thing I would have done differently was the wolf tail charm, which seems a bit too bulky up on the chest, I likely would have used that down on the bottom of the backpack, but yeah, got me itching to get back to work with my Primaris conversions! As for ideas for future videos, I'd love to see you do something like Inquisitor Coteaz, or if you're sticking purely to Rubicon based mods, Telion would be a good one

[@pierrew1532]

Looks truly amazing... Just one question, did you use some green stuff or equivalent to fill all the joints between the cut parts that you put together ?

[@WePaintMinis]

I use a concotion called sprue goo, you may be familiar with it, but if not, it's just plastic glue with cut up bits of sprue in it. The plastic melts and you are left with a plastic goo. You can then use it to fill gaps/seems etc. It's a bit more unwieldy compared to greenstuff, but I enjoy using it. Thank you for the kind words. :)

[@WePaintMinis]

[@ericsmith9212]

What is the Sprue Glue(?) You used to fill in gaps?

[@WePaintMinis]

Sprue Goo is bascially plastic glue (I use Plastic Magic) with cut up bits of prue in it. The plastic sprue melts int he glue forming a a goopy liquid that is essentiall liquid plastic. It's not a delicate as green stuff or milliput and not something you can sculpt with, but it does a good job of filling most holes and you can file it down once dry. I hope that helps and thank you for the comment. :)
