I found this Instagram first. And now I'm here. Hope to see what I can learn from you to make a death guard army .

[@bradt5414]

In the video you said on the nmm gold you started with xv-88 then Baylor brown. I would have thought you would start dark and work light. Maybe you just misspoke. I'm genuinely curious because I'm trying to get a handle on nmm.

[@allenward419]

One day I hope that I may be able to get you to paint one of my warhammer figures, it would absolutely be an honor! I’m new to the hobby and love it already but lack the tools to properly paint my figures at the current moment. Having a mini painted by you would be amazing, not only to use as a playable piece but a conversation piece, your work is amazing and I appreciate the time you put into making these videos because I enjoy them very much and find them very helpful! @maverickspaint

[@TheIronFourth]

Man I've been watching you stuff since day 1 you came out of nowhere with the best gory paint jobs. I see your stuff pop up all over the place. Epically the space marine with the convertible treatment 😂 my name on here used to be Clay P. I'm digging the longer format. I know this is 9 months old but I really hope you got threw covid alright. I had it 3 times last year. Every time with different symptoms.

[@divafever9754]

Hey buddy, I'm gonna need you to clear your painting schedule for my 100 part-painted forest goblins right away!

Dude, this fucking rocks! Thank you so much for sharing (and agreeing to paint him up for me). You're an absolute legend!

As Maverick said, your original mini was already great, I hope you continue minipainting!

haha there you are! and my pleasure dude. It was a lot of fun. Send me your shipping info on IG also!

[@pisaltangponitte6791]

man you're the reason i bought my first box of warhammer from your starter box video, get used to people look up to you already 🤣

duuuude really?? thats insane. Thanks so much man

[@Tina-st2rk]

@@MaverickNicolson I'm waiting to be able to afford it but same I knew about the books and lore you got me into minis and I just wanna paint like you idc about tabel top stats I've never done it once. I can't wait to start and upload a video of my first I'ma use your tips

[@tauront]

​@@MaverickNicolson as I subscribed and watched starter box video i am REALLY considering doing exactly the same as Pisal. Only thing blocking me is that I already bought 1:18 figure and I have to wait for next month to not spend too much money lol!

[@stasmarciniak4193]

Good luck Tina-st2rk

[@ericallen7854]

Killer production value, great editing, awesome painting, and a fantastic concept you have discovered with Plastic Surgery. I would watch this series for decades. Every mini tells a story! Thanks for sharing this Maverick, I am a huge fan! 🔥🔥🔥

[@MaverickNicolson]

Ahhh epic comment dude. Thank you so much. I plan on keeping it up and getting better with the filming!

[@arvernensis8181]

French guy here 👋 Just wanted to say that your videos are the reason I started painting my old miniatures again, so, thank you ! You’re such a source of inspiration that I showed your shorts to all my friends, and now they want to join my painting sessions too 😆 I hope you’ll continue to make quality content like that !

[@dallonrobbins5078]

Your humility is what makes you great, you were able to recognize your short comings and continue to press forward, this what allows us to improve. Continue to Slay the day🔥

[@MaverickNicolson]

Right back at you dude. Slay that day

Ahhh, you've done it again. This seriously rocks so damn hard! A really dope mini, now with an incredible paint job too.

[@MaverickNicolson]

ah thanks brother, I appreciate that.

[@shinkage6949]

I really thank you for all the efforts you put into painting, editing and advicing us with a lot of precious tricks, this new long format is the best ever created. Please keep up the superb work!! 🙏

[@MaverickNicolson]

duuuuude too kind. Thank you so much for the support

[@Uzieleniony]

Man... hands down, you are one of my favourite content creators when it comes to minis. I've found your painting style very appealing, and I'm glad you are lean towards creating longer tutorial-like videos. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and work with us! Keep it grim!

[@MaverickNicolson]

awwww yeeee! Thanks dude I really appreciate that.

[@ArtisOpus]

Tastyyyy! Lucky Matt!

[@MaverickNicolson]

A WILD BYRON APPEARS!

[@Karvoc]

This was really good, I find when painting red I start with a purple base which will cover over black very well, it also helps with the shadows.

[@MaverickNicolson]

gal vorbak is kind of a burgundy and I feel the same. Purple is probably way better coverage

[@Karvoc]

@@MaverickNicolson Yeah I find when I am going from black to yellow, white, red, pink etc that I look for something that will aid in the shading process. Take out a layer to get to the highlight by adding one back in the shading process. A shortcut. For example, I want yellow so I start with browns, I want pink so I start with creams. I want white I start with a cream/grey. this also then becomes my glaze later on when I highlight to bring the shades back and smooth out the transition. This waffling aside I really like what you do here. Cant wait to see more.

[@kirksabio2382]

Man, that intro genuinely gets me excited every time i see it.

[@MaverickNicolson]

hahah awesome! I love it too

[@MultiZegamer]

you are amazing and you have a heart of gold by showing so much love to your community. Cheers man.

[@tightywightys]

You’re a true inspiration man, keep it up. Love seeing these

[@MaverickNicolson]

Glad to hear it man! Thanks!

[@Rescinded_Rainman]

As much as I love the shorts, gotta say, the long format stuff for plastic surgery, it’s chefs kiss 👍🏻

[@MaverickNicolson]

haha im glad to hear it! was worried about the switch

[@Rescinded_Rainman]

@@MaverickNicolson I like the more in-depth look at your style, got a whole chaos army I’m gonna try your NMM scheme on however I need to shift it more dingy, and old, so the closer look is definitely appreciated 👍🏻

[@SgtBotBot]

Love the new music and production values!

[@iggiboii]

Everyone talks about how well you paint (which is entirely true) but the music choices in your videos are soooo good, the synthy metal is awesome

awesome! I really gotta paint one of their models. So gorgeous

[@MaverickNicolson]

YYYYEEEEESSSSS!!!

[@theelderkine]

Coming back to the hobby after over 20 years away. Your vids are inspiring me before I delve into painting again.

[@adedimberline]

I love your painting method of going piece by piece and being as careful as possible, it’s almost meditative. It shows a serious amount of respect for your work and I’m sure the when Matt gets this model back he’s going to be blown away.

[@euansmith3699]

Mavericks Paint, along with eBay Miniature Rescue, are the real 4th Emergency Service. The pixel-grafix on this channel are wonderful. For me, Black Templars, Sisters of Battle and the Inquisition are the twisted soul of the Grim Dark; and John Blanche is one of our greatest tour guides. The rule book for the Inquisition game is peak 40k ("Everything you have been told is a lie!" sums up my vision of the 40k setting). The point on the brush in this video is amazing. Great control. All the best with getting over the dreaded COVID.

[@MaverickNicolson]

Epic comment! haha the 4th emergency. We need a hotline on the phones now hey? Thanks so much for the beautiful words

[@MolaAlexandrini]

Holy hell that's good! With the shorts the models look really good but actually getting to see it come together is amazing. It's actually quite theraputic, I love watching the colours slowly come together on a blank base coat, like the model is coming alive. The music is killer too, really nice match for the vibe of the channel

[@MaverickNicolson]

thanks so much dude. Im glad youre enjoying it, im hoping to keep improving upon the quality

[@hairysticks74]

The AK Paint Stripper is awesome :)

[@ionminiatures]

Dude! You’re amazing! You have many fans and some of your work is inspiration for a diorama I’m planning and hoping to enter at Adepticon next year (hope, but we’ll see).

[@MaverickNicolson]

dude do it!! also adepticon is such a good time if youve never been

I'm currently waiting for my first ever minis and paints to be delivered today (UPS takes SO LONG ;-; ). I've never been artsy in any form, but I think mini painting could be up my alley and it's 100% because of this channel.

[@MaverickNicolson]

dude, its such a good hobby. Youre gonna struggle at first but honestly, just remember that the best part of the hobby is that every single model is going to look better than the last. That constant progress is pure dopamine.

Great stuff!! Back in the old days we used pine sol to strip painted models, but I think that melts or softens most plastics today. And yes, I agree the original paint job was amazing.
