HOLY F- one piece of bark cost you 7 euros!? IO got like... a forest of it behind me rn. I am gonna be RICH!

[@DamianM90]

I came to this channel for the painting, I stayed for the comedy….and the painting.

[@Blottingpaper]

I find basing so relaxing, it's like miniature Zen gardening.

[@lol42ab]

Just looked up "Rimming". I found so much helpful tips. Thank you very much!

[@gomezzara_art]

WHAT

[@darkhighwayman1757]

Oh don't do that

[@bartekwwa]

Yes, tonnes of great and fun ideas there!

[@1989eol]

My love life just got 100% spicier. Happy wife, happy life, as they say. :)

[@LostandFoundTravel]

I'll look that up on my work computer later.

[@arnauc7384]

Thank you, Simon! Thanks to your tips on rimming I have found a whole new stream of the hobby that I wasn’t aware it even existed!

[@pablocamargo8744]

Thank you 🙌🙌🙌🙌 Searching Rimming made my life better.

[@enveritas4948]

Follwing the true path of all youtube mini painters, Zumi has entered the basing and scenery arc.

[@starwolf7365]

Okay. Zumiko, I have a suggestion for you. Dry brush texture and rocks. Trust me. You'll see and learn different ways to make an amazing texture and blend for a really weathered base. You almost have this to a 't'.

[@thetabletopsupershow3670]

The water base turned out very nice, dude! If you are using Vallejo Texture then you don't actually need to use glue to hold stuff like bark to the base, just use the texture, stuff sets up like concrete! Good Video, it gets the 👍!

[@AcrylicJumbo]

This channel has quickly turned into my favorite miniature painting channel, I love the content recently, congrats on the editing as well, top notch work !

[@Oreo_cakester]

First seconds put me like: hold on... Is he HOWTOBASIC?!

[@Zumikito]

man, I should've added more eggs...damn

[@jamesvaughan7274]

One thing I've found useful when doing rocks is to use different varnish types. So matt for the upper surfaces (that are dry) and then satin on the areas that might be damp. Allows a consistent colour, but also a bit more realism.

[@CCMinis]

Really fun video Simon, and those turned out really nice! Love the desert one in particular

[@LunaWolves2nd]

took your advice about Base Painting..... Typed in Rimming... was a bit disapointed to be honest... not a paint brush in sight! 🤣🤣

[@klug5916]

I totally loved your ironic/sarcastic tone. But still, the results are interesting

[@discoverymanhun]

hands down the funniest painting tutorials on youtube :D

[@Geordiecrafts]

Oh my WORD! That slenderman base turned out incredible! All your bases look great though!

[@dingwoot]

Sooooooo, the wife and I watch Zumi's videos together, he's funny and we get a good laugh, she is a little sheltered so she goes " I'll look up rimming". Yeah that didn't go down to well LAWL

[@bio-boosted]

Nice work on the bases, desert one is my favourite. Now to Google search rimming 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@timontran4728]

Fantastic video on basing. Thank you for making the painting video fun and educating. I like the last one the most. It seems to tell a story of the slender man as intended.

[@hossep2695]

Basing is one of my favorite parts of the hobby. It's really hard to mess up and it feels great looking at the finished product.

[@Polimathe]

Squidmar styling on the desert bases coming in clutch. I have found 3d printing bits and toppers helps alot with getting you half way there. You can then use miliput to stick on your resin pits and texture paint on top after you smooth it out. Helps with giving volume so you dont have the "super flat terrain" effect.

[@TheSilentW]

Good grief, I'm already getting anxiety attacks from giving my finished painted board game miniatures decorated bases. Handling paint or glue on painted display case pieces would kill me!

[@sareth90]

Golden Demon 2022 pushed you to focus on improving basing skills on a level it looks almost like a fixation!

[@timkruse-vq1pz]

Have a seperate hobby knife blade you can heat up w/ a lighter or something to cut through that plastic rod kinda stuff.

[@timkruse-vq1pz]

or a little hobby saw

[@contrastinghobby]

Loved the video and with you showing off a heap of different hobby products. Just a thought but could simpler be better for basing sometimes? Like the slender man base had this oily dark swamp already from the first 2 stages of painting it and if left at this stage it looked amazing. Or the building site base the rusted cog and bricks are already finished out of the pack so half the job is done. Some pigment to tie them in and bobs your uncle. Anyways love your channel and merry Christmas

[@spacemanERAU]

Spit coffee all over my phone screen at the 2:35 mark. Gd Zumi I love your videos

[@isisnmagic1812]

Awesome to see the aka terrain stuff I use on my bases on video by someone I follow on KZbin.

[@Diazz-vl2dz]

I TRUSTED YOU! I GOOGLED RIMMING LIKE AN INNOCENT CHILD HOPING TO IMPROVE MY MINIATURES!!!... and now I will never be the same again.

[@motherreaper7287]

Maybe you should try googling "Water Sports", something about playing volley ball while swimming really helps a person concentrate on painting.

[@CaringClover]

I subscribed because of our shared passion for rimming.

[@Himle_]

Great work! Water base and Space marine was the best ones imho. (-: Do love the AK products and the Still Water one is so easy to use. (Tip. Don't ever use to thick a layer with SW, because it will create a hole in the water. (-: Which i guess could be nice, if you're looking for a whirlpool, but....)

[@stevec9315]

lol use a hobby saw for thick styrene. goes through like a hot knife through butter

[@christophercassidy-schroed9169]

Well done my friend. Great video.

[@randomusernameCallin]

I work to get a fade to black from the character for the base.

[@Fr0stguard]

For me the resin bits from epic basing were what really helped my bases look a lot better. Didn't have bits that were out of scale like when I was trying to just find scrap stuff. Pairing the bits with some ak texture pastes, milliput and cork makes really nice bases.

[@blitzz2713]

Thanks for showing the mistakes and how you decide to fix them - that's what makes the difference and what aspiring painters can connect with. The tip with re-applying the pigment is what I missed! I always had this issue that when it got wet, it never got back its freshness and vividity. I was wondering how the others achieve it, especially for tabletop pieces which need to last.

[@beaubooker433]

Dude!!! Legit!!! Some of the finest basing I have seen!! Great job!!

[@mitch3384]

I was listening to this video in the car, and when you mentioned rimming, the girl in the passenger seat of the car next to me immediately cocked her head and looked over with wide eyes!

[@chester1882]

The Zumikito Bases Villian Arc is on going I see ;)

[@jamesvaughan7274]

For water on the bases, you can also cut holes in the base and then make a damn underneath with plasticard and green stuff. Allows you to have more depth to run water effects into to create puddles etc.

[@darthinfamous73]

I had anxiety at 10:44 when the cap pressed against the arm and it bent!

[@naphaneal]

need to get my hands on this stuff...

[@joeydukes7886]

I love basing. I use budget items though like toilet paper, sand, coffee, anything I can get at the dollar store.

[@Chodor101]

Space marine is poorly attached and sister looked better before in my opinion. Having said that you nailed slender man!

[@gomezzara_art]

Amazing vid as always my dude! I really need to play more with my pigments... i havent give them a lot of time to them. Now is the time!

[@HeroSevenRacing]

Awesome looking bases! Are you please able to link or list the product details/brand on the bricks, scraps, rubble and the construction beams?

[@Zumikito]

It is from online store "pk-pro"

[@HeroSevenRacing]

@@Zumikito thanks!!!

[@reyalskrad1]

I loved your tip on the rim, was really satisfying!

[@chriswallace756]

Very nice. I like all of the bases. I can't wait to see more as I need more help with my bases. Much love

[@natecleary]

The slender man base is amazing I can’t lie

[@daviderimerici6990]

If you go to the dollar store (chinese market here in Spain) you can find a lot of useful stuff for the hobby in general, stones of different sizes and sand for aquarium, handcraft material and lot more but a lot cheaper then the Vallejo/GSW/AK... versions

[@Micsma]

Dental & sculpting tools, work like a spatula but are smaller and have finer points. Perfect for spreading texture paste.

[@aussiesoldier0177]

I love all of your videos Zumikito, you have taught me so much. Thank you 😊

[@Wijkert]

Love seeing video's on basing (and diorama building)!

[@GrapeHate]

I love how exasperated you look at your own shortcomings

[@Izzyspaintingworkshop]

Great video as always!

[@elminiaturista]

But your original Krieg base look beatiful also! i like it a lot. Sometimes I use Isopropanol to fix pigment, spread fast and dry fast too.

[@Dave-jh7rj]

This is awesome. My minis are def going to level up now……or at least they would if I hadn’t had discovered rimming now.

[@jacobb.9181]

messy base on the sister is perfectly fine seeing as... its a bunch of ruins. they dont tend to be neat!

[@sweatilaa5325]

For beginners and novices in basing (like myself) I recommend getting a tub of AK Interactive texture paste of your choice (or similar) and a packet of tufts to compliment it and maybe a packet of flowers. That will go a long way in making the bases look way more interesting than they have any right to be with just texture paste and tuft and it’s an easy way to learn basing :) And it’s cheaper than getting Citadel stuff :D

[@echtervogel]

For like the beam you could get a razor saw. Really cheap, very effective.

[@dand1789]

Ice ice baby...to cold to cold....😉

[@Grabacr]

Awesome!! Looking forward for more basing videos!

[@tomkilger9854]

the Almighty Spatula, nice reference 🤣

[@damn_it6971]

Great job man! I really liked the water base the most but two other ones are quite unique as well)

[@khankong4307]

I googled rimming like you said and it took me to artis opus 😂

[@MiniQuest64]

The ultimate product review!

[@phoulmouth]

The sister base came out perfect, how can you have too messy on a battle field? A battlefield should be as messy as you can make it.

[@JacobHo161]

Instead basing is the easiest easy to make your mins look much better.

[@RuthlessMojo]

I recently got back into the hobby after being away for 26 years. In the last 6 months I've probably spent close to $3000 procuring everything I needed. It is a costly hobby. I'm starting my own channel. Partly to justify my expenditure and also to keep me motivated.

[@motherreaper7287]

The closest thing googling "rimming" led me to for art was paint sticks, I thought only children used those. O.o

[@daniellof453]

Nice rim job

[@ckoetael]

Funny! the base for the battle sister is peculiar :) next time if you want to age the paper, then try soaking it in strong tea, it looks much more natural

[@Cottontopexotics]

evergreen scale models make easy cutting I beams and a bunch of other things like that

[@RubenPaintsMinis]

I think your slender man base looks best because you focused on story over color theory. Marco Frisoni says that focusing on story at the start will help inform all your decisions after.

[@knockedgoose4206]

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm a bit disappointed in this one." Me, who still uses citadel astrogranite on every base: _Oh_

[@heretic192]

Great video. Maybe it would have been worth mentioning how much texture paint or pigment is actually in such a jar, and while the cost compared to one base might seem high, but the stuff will last for like hundreds of bases easily.

[@Blackrage916]

Thanks for the Tips and tricks mate!

[@shawnrobins5509]

just got my 6 year old daughter to google 'rimming' while i do the pigment! thanks for the guides :)

[@shawnross120]

Well, I googled how to finish my bases like you said, I am now unemployed, I will be at your doorstep to crash on the couch next week LOL

[@sevencoloredmage8726]

Only model painters will use stones, prime them and then repaint them to look like stones.

[@quintinjansevanvuuren9638]

Looked up rimming but it took me to this weird black and orange website and I couldn't find much in the way of hobby equipment. Odd.

[@RannarV]

For Sister You should use brass gears that "rust" green (verdigris)

[@blaarghwee]

Welcome to terrain =)

[@juancarloshortaflores1327]

6:21 its a traaap!!!

[@jamescrawford8538]

Awesome

[@jsseehorn]

If you're going to be cutting largish styrene pieces like that I-beam a hobby saw will help prevent accidents.

[@martins3655]

Sir, did you buy this lovely spatula at SPATULA CITY?

[@Jake-lk8sx]

Just curious, why prime the base when it already looks amazing? is there a reason for this or just personal choice when wanting to design the colours better?

[@DensPaintingStudio]

Excellent video, where did you get the bits from for the the urban base, for sisters of battle?

[@johnosminis]

Well, I guess it’s time to spend £500 on basing equipment!

[@honeybadgerbravo]

Rimming, huh... "It's a trap!!"

[@Bloodworia]

Imagine literally buying tree bark and stones lmao. Just to the nearest forest

[@greglohman6750]

My process is to just throw a bunch of basing garbage on that round thang.

[@blackwood138]

Anyone knows if those plastic rods are available on amazon ?

[@Crackparty803]

Thanks, now my 8 year old son knows what rimming is.

[@youtubevanced4900]

You bought woodchips from some miniature hobby shop?

[@spacemanERAU]

Where did you get the bags of bricks, metal pieces, etc?

[@Zumikito]

It's from PK pro

[@GenJester]

Mooor KDM!

[@Siile_]

This dude is funny af

[@Turtle00001]

Hi can anyone help me find flesh color paints to paint an Asian character? I'm still bad at painting, but I guess I need to know a base color, two layering, a wash and a highlight? Or how would you guys go about it?
