2 inch resin pours and a creme brule torch are your friends

[@dew7972]

You may never see this, however if you did want to try the glove thing some time, make sure you use a tiny amount of beeswax, it’ll help it peel off, a quick wash and it’ll be good to go. I use that quite a bit when creating a resin mold out of green stuff or that one Japanese toy, what ever it’s called so it comes out easier lol.

[@euansmith3699]

It is great to hear that Jay has had a lot of fun working on his titan. Most Forge World construction videos tend to dwell on what a mammoth chore these projects are; so it is nice to see someone having a positive experience. May Jay have many a happy time stomping on Shaun's Imperial Guard Parking Lot with this God-engine bad boy.

[@AriSolMorningstar]

I also love that he does it in a transparent way not hiding the bad parts but embracing the fun he has too

[@thePaintedDesk]

You eyeballed the resin mix before pouring it on a Titan? You're a braver man than me!

[@SholtoAtIncunabulum]

I was wondering if this video was a joke when he did that, but it appears not! Ballsy, if also completely mental

[@commonsense7754]

Warm the resin in a warm water bath and stir super slowly if you don’t have a pressure pot. Syringes work well for measuring too btw. Jet lighter or heat guns work better for bubbles.

[@Captinsaneo]

Maybe put some ripples in the other body of water near the titans foot that is firmly on the ground. I'd have the ripples moving away from the foot to imply that the ground shakes each time the titan's feet hit the ground. This would bring the diorama to life even more :)

[@euansmith3699]

Jurassic Park T-Rex Style? Nice idea👍‍🐉

[@craiggordon2502]

There are a lot of videos on how to work with resin especially what water does to resin

[@craiggordon2502]

Also you should have nitril gloves and trying to cure it on the gloves if it’s too thick can generate heat and may cause some burns.

[@Dagggits]

Looks amazing! I wonder if you could cover up the bolt under the stepping foot to make it look like a lampost/tree/upright object about to be crushed by the foot. Double-action prop and support strut.

[@ToraminoSiB]

Isn't the foot supposed to be lifting because the water is running down?

[@Asageun]

​@@ToraminoSiBthis is a polelayer reaver titan. They use it to set up telephone poles

[@electricimpulse7]

​@@Asageun he's with the union

[@apinakapinastorba]

I'm relieved the resin on your gloves was thin enough, so it didn't burn you with the heat from the chemical reaction when you blasted it with the UV light.

[@kolosmenus]

My favorite life hack for doing "water effects" on bases, or at least making the ground look wet. Do a regular base, use an ultra matt varnish, then put a gloss varnish ONLY IN RECESSES. Takes a bit of time, but it will look like water pooling in various dips in the ground.

[@ghoulcat6352]

seems simple

[@Tryel]

if you want to tint resin, a little bit of acrylic ink/paint isnt going to hurt it too much. However, you were spot on with the 'oil and water' thing, you shouldn't really mix them. For the blood, next time you can try resin specific dyes, or even oil paints. Also, use some of that gloss varnish in the boot prints, as those turn into mini pools!

[@MunchChomp]

Jay hit us with an amazing 'agua transparente' out of nowhere - 10/10

[@tyrodinpainting]

This is a great video, very interesting. I would like to suggest something as you said you didn’t know what to do with the bolt coming out of his foot….perhaps make some of that blood resin with opaque paint and cure it onto the bolt with some body parts (whatever army you hate) as if it just squished something

[@patmigroin2808]

Jay, I know this is a crazy idea. But why not just use a measuring cup?

[@edpacca]

Favourite bit was the UV resin on the glove just not working at all. Was expecting a really cool unique effect. Love the optimism 😂 could try dripping it onto some bunched up clingfilm or something to see if that would give you the desired effect

[@ethangriffin3935]

6:23 I love your content but good lord please trim your nails

[@margaretwood152]

"NO BUBBLES" That would only be the case if you were Pouring your Resin on *_The MØØN._* (* Unless you use a *_Pressure Pot,_* you will _Always_ get Air Bubbles in the Resin. )

[@rickyspanish6596]

One small thing. Titans weigh thousands of tons right? So in a muddy environment they sink. He missed an opportunity to put massive foot prints or represent the titans massive size by having it sink in the mud. Right now it looks really toy-like.

[@RavensDagger501]

"This did nothing." That had me cackling. Great scientific methodology!

[@bopaintsminis]

Mad kudos for taking such risks with what amounts to thousands of dollars and hundreds of man-hours worth of model. You nailed it.

[@electricimpulse7]

Don't forget the months it took for him to physically receive it

[@MogoPrime]

You know you're doing something right when you can make it compelling to literally watch water dry. :)

[@toml1446]

they make measuring cups specifically for resin, you should invest into those, also all resin will have air bubbles, just get a heat gun and pop the bubbles.

[@origulator]

I feel bad about that guardsman's incoming case of severe trenchfoot.

[@euansmith3699]

In grim darkness of future, trenchfoot step on you.

[@NotOnLand]

Be careful with the glove idea, UV resin gets _super_ hot when it cures, especially if you use a powerful light

[@Selckunk]

If you want to do more splash effects may I suggest Carcharadons

[@davidwintherjensen3317]

It looks really good already! Maybe you could add some bullet splashes in the puddles to really add to the dynamic look and feel of the base

[@tomwahli3053]

Wouldnt' it be nice to gloss (or at least satin) varnish the whole muddy area? It 'currently looks very dry. Good job anyways 🙌

[@MightyInHiding]

Looks great but perhaps maybe you should tint the splashes just a tiny bit somehow, to reflect the grimy nature of the water it’s actually stepping in

[@lamMeTV]

I was SUPER sceptical but yea ... those feet look like they are pushing huge amounts of water out of the way! Amazing job

[@mavericktaylor2960]

I'm about to get a Reaver titan painted and this has definitely inspired some ideas!

[@HomeDrone]

There's going to be crap floating on the surface of water in a muddy battlefield, so I think glassy clean water would be weird.. I'd think INTENTIONALLY adding dust would be preferred ;)

[@chroniclesoftinybattles]

Resin : bloody resin ! It's a thrill when you get back to your piece to see if it has worked Like a kid would check for gifts at the foot of the Christmas tree in the morning !

[@ashpotter4299]

Just a thought but what about some of the brown puddle colour over the support screw so it looks like water dripping from the middle of the foot and helps hide the screw?

[@darthrevan4485]

Those bubbles in the resin would actually be really good for muddy water, muddy water will usually foam up at the top when stirred so the bubbles would give it that dirty foam effect

[@leborhal7450]

"I've never done this thing before... so I figure the best way to do it is to try it on a 1400 dollar piece with a 100+ hour paint\assembly." Were you dropped on your head as a child?

[@nick7626]

I'm sure it's been said already, but I'm not weeding through comments to look, but... Look into a small vacuum chamber setup if you're planning to use resins. There are a ton of videos of it on KZbin and the setup is not terribly expensive to source. Use fairly large containers for the resin, as they swell a ton as the air escapes, otherwise you're in for a huge mess.

[@ryenschimerman2127]

So what I've recently done is used only the UV resin, but tinted it with dry pastel powders. I've noticed that while mixing other liquids with the resin confounds setting, solid pigment doesn't, yet still looks like a running liquid.

[@RuthlessMojo]

Acrylic paints and inks don’t work great with epoxy. You’d have a much better time using an alcohol ink or a pigment powder which you can mix straight in.

[@ThBlackLst]

SUPERFAST BUILD MODE, if you know then you know

[@Player-fz1et]

Hey, this reminds me, what happened to that other, new Warhound Titan? The one that was still in the bags that you mentioned during your "fixup" Warhound video?

[@TallDarknGruesome]

for anyone else with bubble in resin problems - the answer is to pull a vacuum. The bubbles expand and rise to the surface faster. Since most hobbyists wont have a vacuum chamber unless you work with resin a lot, you can rig one out of a large container, a shopvac and a lid that can be fully sealed down. you wont get a full vacuum, but it will pull a lot out of these small batches.

[@stephenhasty252]

Thanks, Jay and Eons fam... I fall asleep to your painting and hammercrafting all the time...

[@lokan1212]

Looking at him measuring 1:1 ratio was nerve wracking for me ! :D Americans are really allergic to any sort of real measurement aren't they ? :D

[@stujm84]

The best dust free place for a model.to dry in, is a microwave. Finding one big enough for a Reaver titan might be a challenge in itself though!

[@thomaswetzel6796]

Something the size of the Statue of Liberty is firing truck sized guns you should expect ripples

[@roodledoot]

The problem with using resin on your $1400, 200 hour model is that it turns yellow after roughly a year

[@LuceoX30]

I'm disappointed you didn't use mud - a "String" of it coming from the foot would help hide the screw in the raised foot!

[@rabbibaby]

Lets be completely honest here. I have yet to see a convincing water effect on minis, including this video. It all looks like clear coom.

[@elfmastercool4734]

I'm gonna hang on to this video for future reference, as I have had a tube of AK interactive water effects for almost a year now, waiting for the right project to use it on. This video has inspired me to get moving on it though

[@xanderkan2971]

Where is the mic? Behind the apron? Under the desk? I NEED ANSWERS

[@TheOldgeezah]

Try using scales to measure the resin combo. Trying to pour both together by the same amount sounds like a recipe for failure.

[@pedrodu3626]

You could cut out a plastic bell to fit the base and protect the titan while displaying it anywhere.

[@REDEADTHEUNDEAD]

I had an idea to hide the post on the foot. Should make it look like the titan stepped on something like a body and it’s stuck the bottom of its foot like human bubble gun. Would be a good use of those new resin skills to make stringy gore effects.

[@nozyspy4967]

What is the intro music to the videos? Also awesome job on the resin, you're a braver man than I!

[@Naetheras]

The bolt under the foot really breaks my immersion Id probably try to impale a chaos marine or make a flag out of it, so it looks like the titan is stomping it.

[@jaydndsh]

Wouldn´t it be a possibility to form a tree around the metal rod with the treetop broken and laying on the ground. This would hide the metal and give the look that the titan smashed the tree with his giant foot. 🤔

[@viciousyeen6644]

Hey I’ve got the same UV lamp for my resin recently! Be careful it get quite hot

[@nameputhpong9041]

*sees multi-man-job* Oh thank the lord i have three younger siblings to spare

[@dominantwolf4593]

Bro has thousands of dollars in models and art supplies, can’t buy a 10 dollar balance 😂

[@tibi423]

Using plastic shotglasses to measure out the components would've helped

[@madslagsallupinthisgaff]

Jay, why not hide the screw under his foot with some falling resin 'water'?

[@ChronradBones]

It resists yellowing *adds a yellowish brown*😅, loved the base

[@dontsub6003]

It's interesting to me that you want a glass-like finish on a muddy trench

[@pseudozero]

Love the blood in the water. What a great idea and well executed

[@TheOnlyBlackInMeWasWillieBrown]

Next time try putting some mold release of Vaseline on the glove before you pour the resin on it.

[@alexanderk.7782]

do you have no idea to hide the screw under the food, like something he stamp on a Pipe or smth.?

[@rctheleaf6241]

honest opinion? i like the small bubbles in resin, becus it makes it look like the water is "alive" to me.

[@RaZziYoutuber]

That's what she said.. oh wait

[@Plonkemonke]

Games workshop sells blood paint called blood for the blood god

[@silabar5751]

Thanks for your video. It´s always a pleasure to see your work.

[@waterdrinker4706]

Good thing the glove uv light thing didnt work cause uv lights can give u skin cancer lol

[@ub3r73k]

I am researching resin for next years project so this was helpful

[@jodyhorrell341]

Jay a good way to pop bubbles in resin is use a hair dryer on max heat from a distance

[@johnherrera5261]

Theres actually great water ripples by woodlands scenics

[@SolarisWesson]

Why would you not use a measuring cup for the resin!?

[@reddogterrain]

Your resin looks great. Well done, Jay.

[@proowlgaming3517]

First view finally

[@timeguy441]

Jay really milking that reiver content. good for him.

[@derschattenkaiser4187]

''Wich i had a little trouble holding onto'' * explodes *

[@Lessons_from_the_front]

Kitchen scales: that is the simplest way to get a reliable ratio.

[@notcreativeside]

Get a cheap kitchen scale, makes measuring out equal parts a lot easier.

[@leonardneubeck1003]

Wow

[@diabolihellscream3410]

That's quite good spanish at 8:01 Nicely done vato

[@jananay2768]

That’s what she said. Great video, Jay you mad lad!

[@Lademonio-opm]

Good to know that im not the only one that uses a paintbrush to point out details or instructions

[@justinwilliams1333]

Maybe brush some resin into all the boot prints on the base for even more realism.

[@NefariousElasticity]

I'm actually a bit shocked you didn't get a grain scale for this project considering they're like $20 and the titan is... a lot more expensive :D

[@JayPlazma]

Something I learned from Evan and Katelyn is that a silicone stir stick helps cut down the amount of bubbles created. Wooden sticks are porous and seem to introduce more bubbles

[@xzyled5684]

I work with epoxy resin for a living, the part B is always thicker than the part A, so you were right about why your measurement was off. Also for future epoxy resin pour's, you should measure your mixture's by weight on a small scale, or you can just get some small plastic measuring cups from Home Depot or paint supply store's for relatively cheap to ensure your measurement's are correct. As for the bubble's, like other's have mentioned, you can use a hot water bath, or a small torch to pop em. Look's wicked though 👍

[@dderajj2166]

An episode released on Tuesday?

[@dderajj2166]

I procrastinate watching videos, no clue if this is a normal occurrence and I'm stupid. Also the gloves thing made me wince, blasting skin with UV (even if brief)

[@philobskera334]

Space marine jump packs are back in stock on the GW store

[@TMillsYo]

I absolutely love how informative your videos are. From some genuinely fantastic applications creating these models to showing failed attempts at things that didn't work. It really nicely humanizes the finished product and enhances the whole thing. Top notch my man!

[@Compyniro]

I really want to see a picture of the Titan next to the Titan crane 😍

[@Bamboozlenoodle]

Indeed, try it for the first time on a throwaway model :p

[@brianhogg358]

Use a kitchen scale to make sure you get a 1:1 ratio!

[@freyjaslittlejeeps1602]

You need a cheap scale for measuring both parts of the resin, and it may be easier to add the ink/pigment/etc. to one part before mixing them. The casting resin I use just dies horribly if I tint it after mixing, but adding it to one half (I think it's the resin) and mixing, then adding the second part and mixing again.

[@stuartfields9177]

I find that using heavily crumpled kitchen baking paper with UV resin works a treat to give you ripples and random pieces of interesting resin to apply to models. Also, please show the completed titan in a battle report so we can see it wrecking everything!

[@namuesmeralda155]

That Titan just gets better and better

[@connorlockee1619]

i would paint the bolt under its foot black

[@bunionsandcabbage6764]

Watching Jay measure made me think of 8th grade science when we learned what a meniscus was and now I can't stop hearing my 8th grade science teacher scream about what Jay was doing.

[@odharrison23]

Dang!!! Thanks gents!! Fantastic as always!!!

[@benweinberg3819]

Just did my own first resin pour. Not sure if it works for all brands, but a fine list of iso alcohol will break surface tension and pop bubbles very nicely!
