[@MaverickNicolson]

If you enjoyed this video, consider supporting the channel at my Patreon patreon.com/maverickspaint I hope to one day teach and make content around minipainting as a full time job. Your support means a lot, so thanks! If you have a model thats in desperate need of restoration, message me on instagram instagram.com/maverickspaint/

[@natemarsh684]

Awesome video. I think a lot of people in the comments are keen to know what you used to strip it?

[@HighBeanz]

Dude we NEED a tutorial for how you stripped that model so perfectly

[@ComicFreakification]

Yes what did u use in the video to strip the mini I have not had much luck finding anything to strip models these days

[@mathieugervais501]

What did u dip him in if u dont mind me asking

[@HighBeanz]

@Mathieu Gervais in his next short he mentions in his pinned comment that he uses "Simple Green" to strip his minis

[@screaming_cat2007]

I can say, mini painting is such a good outlet for my stress and anxiety

[@A_guy_in_the_comments]

Hey, Jesus can help with anxiety too! Pray to him, it will help!

[@zee_nyc]

Same. I put a ‘cyber punk chill’ mix on KZbin and then get to painting. Good or bad, it drains the stress.

[@thewovenmantis6813]

Everything about this hobby is stress relief *except* the painting for me. It’s such a huge damn stressor with zero room for error.

[@Br1anwastaken]

U guys good??

[@PaganMinn]

painting minis saved my life. i suffer horrid depression and anxiety. when i paint, i feel nothing but the project at hand. in my hardest time my brother bought me a starter box of blood angels. ive drawn most my life and now i just paint figs. im obsessed but im also alive and forever thankful these pieces of plastic somehow bring me peace in a world filled with problems. thank you lucas, you saved me.

[@prometheus7565]

hope your doing well friend :)

[@chase.robinson6625]

Glad you’re still with us friend

[@INSOMNIAREX]

I feel that, m8. They can definitely help with refocusing the mind and thoughts. I find I have to have breaks, though, as I get obsessed and my shoulders end up round my ears from being a little over-focused. Still a very good method.😊😊

[@AlexiosLair]

I'm proud of you for finding what brings you peace!

"Brother, you've pulled through yet again. The Rubicon Primaris is complete, you are now Primaris!"

[@gamechanger8908]

This reminds me of a 4chan post, a guard player and his friend who played Dark Angels were one hell of a duo. Even when his friend was dying of cancer he proceed to give his guardsman friend his models before he passed, and up to the day he wrote the post he played a portion of his friends Dark Angels as a support and the stand in for his friend always had good rolls😢

[@captainchunkplays4961]

Was that the same one where the model named after his friend punched out a Daemon Prince?

[@Mistowgan]

@@captainchunkplays4961 I believe so. as a Dark Angels Fan, it brings me happiness to see the Sons of the Lion do so well but this story is true brotherhood. I hope the noble knight named after his friend continues to serve honourably.

[@jokerledger5400]

now his friend is with the emperor's light, watching over his friend and their models in battle.

[@shotgun0261]

I seen that a few times, it brings sadness to me every time I see it. Even in death the Dark Angels friend remembers his gone in body but forever around in spirit and his models and keeps them how they used to play.

[@TheHellleader]

​@@captainchunkplays4961which one?

[@rham5817]

Brought a little tear to my eye. May the Captain continue to serve. Well done.

[@djnausea975]

You removed all that paint so well.. Would love to see a "how to"!

[@sanowolfenoch6659]

I second this

[@LiveforHM]

use simple green or purple power. soak and use old toothbrush and tooth pick to remove paint. easy stripping.

[@crodolog4134]

90+% isopropyl alcohol

[@djnausea975]

@@LiveforHM do you rinse intermittently with water? Or just keep dipping back in alcohol?

[@LiveforHM]

@djnausea i personally do not use IPA as my primer is lacquer based instead of acrylic. Theoretically i could soak in IPA as that would remove all the acrylic layers, but purple power has worked for me. Extra soaking time is okay if i find some paint still sticks after a good scrub.

I LOVE the little story you added to the restoration process, would LOVE to see more content like this! Your paintings are always breathtaking

[@SurtThur]

Agreed.

[@karmiccj1911]

Man even before the restoration it looked like a damn good job. I wish I had that amount of dedication

[@ayy-lec6462]

"And some of our worst" damn that really hit me. The amount of time I chose to isolate myself only to paint for hours to bring at least a slither of joy to my life, and they do. Always. Bless those tiny plastic things.

[@Kollf0007]

It always bring me joy painting models after a bad day at school, is really relaxing and it helps me with my struggles.

[@jayvin439]

Would 100% watch restorations.. Especially as I found my models from my childhood. Some I am keeping as they are as a reminder. Some are being touched up to show how I can make them look now

[@brendanmartin3359]

I’ve liked your videos for a while, and I’m glad I rewatched this one again. The paint jobs are always awesome, but I think the Voiceover content is what really makes me like your videos. You have a great ability to find very thoughtful and heartfelt things to say when telling your stories, and I think that’s what makes me look forward to watching your videos

[@GioGioPietromica425]

It’s honestly a little touching to see someone this passionate about something they enjoy doing, on go man this is great!

[@owenmurray7588]

Every time I see this video... absolute chills. You paint so well, and I live what you do. Keep it up!

[@MathiasShaw637]

Mini painting saved me from becoming a full blown alcoholic.

[@kingofgames259]

Oh absolutely do a series of this!! so cool to see a model evolve and get "promoted" sort of speak. Must be an even better feeling being the models owner.

[@philurbaniak1811]

👍👍 I can't believe how well that stripped! Awesome work, "painting as a gift" is one of my favourite ideas in this hobby 😊👌

[@fo0w179]

That helmet upgrade hits different. That little fella earned that thing! Nice job!

[@derianmcdougall1441]

Cory did a good job on the original piece.

[@eggmancorp]

The paint job was incredible but it was the commentary that made me hit that Like button.

[@thrilliod147]

Love this. What a sick paint job ❤❤❤

[@GimmeAweapon]

Woah!!! Love the care and thought put into this. One of my friend’s sadly passed away and we use to play kill team every Saturday night. I haven’t been able to bring myself to play since and unfortunately my death guard army just sits now. You’re right to say they take care of us. They remind me of all of the good times I use to share with my friend.

[@theotherhal1770]

Really heartwarming! I wonder if you have a similar story restoring any of your old models?

[@LittleGrayRam]

I'm just starting out painting minis and the steadiness in your hands is amazing to watch, ive never managed to have that level of perfection, even through making art in other forms. you are truly incredible at what you do sir

[@martinsleight321]

I'd ALWAYS watch model restoration videos. Great idea, very satisfying.

[@gamesux420]

Salute this dedicated Captain

[@kylemcmahon9777]

God my family and I started 40k recently... and figures are by far the coolest. Watching your videos makes us want to get some but only when the money is right. Appreciate you 🤙🏽

[@ashduiop]

Would love to see more of this type of video! Super heartwarming

[@M0ADIS]

Absolutely should! I just picked this hobby up a few weeks ago and now watch every paint video there is.

[@dogstar5927]

The nerdiest but most satisfying thing ever ...

[@AegonTheHammer]

I absolutely love your videos. Your painting skills are second to none. I’m new to Warhammer. I bought a bunch of models a couple months ago and am still trying to find the time to complete the laborious (but enjoyable) task of building the models in a perfectionist manner by removing mold lines, sanding, kit bashing and painting. I take a lot of care and time to prep and build the models so that they are flawless. Then comes the painting and Am just not very happy with the results. I’m just not a good enough painter yet. I have this one model in particular that I absolutely love. It’s the Blood Angels terminator librarian turned Deathwatch. If you would paint that for me so I don’t ruin it, I’d cherish it forever! Love the series, keep up the good work!

[@RashaKahn]

I like how you got Tom Hanks to narrate...

[@MeatCognition]

The little stories overlayed on the restoration are so wholesome. Really love this series!

[@imofage3947]

Damn! That shield makes one hell of a statement with an enemy corpse mounted on it.

[@argus8326]

That's not an enemy corpse, but likely an honored member of the Imperium. By the mark on its forehead, probably a valued servant of the Inquisition or Priesthood.

[@imofage3947]

@@argus8326 Are you telling me that the cadaver on the shield is an ally of the guy holding the shield? And this is a way to honor the dead? Most cultures would call that desecration of human remains. Humans have a pretty strong natural revulsion to such practices.

[@argus8326]

@@imofage3947 well in that setting the bones of heroes or saints have some holy property that protects against the evils of chaos, so why not add an extra layer of defense? See how the skeleton is cleanly wrapped with scrolls and ceremonial seals? The corpse is treated with respect as it protects the shield bearer.

[@imofage3947]

@@argus8326 You got me, I know very little about 40K lore. But I can still recognize a glorious work of art in that re-painted mini.

[@ardenhayle7825]

God if I could just send you my Kriegsman, I don't know if I'd even want them back with how much love and dedication you put into every piece. I'd have to gift them. Amazing.

I’ve never seen zenithal highlights presented so well. Would love to see your technique for this.

[@WorgenGrrl]

I don't play the Game, but I LOVE the Lore. I have a massive amount of respect for those who do play and are passionate about it. I also find that miniature painting is an art form all its own and can be beautiful and exquisite.

[@journeyinto40k62]

It would be amazing to see more videos like this

[@bigcahoonaburger8550]

Warhammer is my youth now I’m a fossil but it’s still going. Blood Marines and orcs were my battles. Amazing to see it’s still going strong over 30yrs. Let the dice and battles never stop!

[@wexadexwes527]

I love this so much! Please could I ask for the paints used for the armour? Such a great colour

[@wigger69]

no

[@REAL_BigBoiLifts]

Since it’s a dark angel most people use caliban green and warpstone glow

[@TwinSkullsPainting]

You can't start to imagine how much that resonates with me. Although I am, and always was, a CSM player, I was painting a friend's Dark Angels space marines, when my mum was in the ICU battling with cancer complications. She did not make it in the end, but in the haze of the next few days, I still recall painting miniatures to overcome my grief. The amount of psychotherapy painting provides, the seer focus and blocking everything outside for a few minutes or hours at end, cannot be explained.

[@2013Arcturus]

What is it you used to remove the paint from the plastic?

[@rafaelpraca6077]

Absolutely i love watching really cool looking models become absolute legends

[@pocketoniofficial]

I am getting back into the hobby after about a decade and I have always needed to brush up on my painting skills. More of these videos give me great ideas, but tutorials would be even better! Keep up the good work!!

[@MasonWilliams13]

I had seen this video the other day and loved it though I didn't really notice the channel. Today I caught a video talking about you specifically and came back and noticed this was you! I am having a rough time right now and this and your words are keeping me grounded. Thank you.

Ive been thinking about doing stuff like this to some of my sisters, and also some of my old warmachine models. But this videos are AWESOME for painting motivation. Thank you man! More please!

[@DJM3nos]

I've just started to get into 40k lore the past few weeks and I love it!! I could easily see myself painting a few models down the line, even if I don't play the tabletop game. I think a "how to" paint video for beginners would be great, especially a list of tools and supplies to start out on, if that's something you'd be interested in making. I'd definitely watch that!

[@buddyeplays]

I always see these models before the restoration and think “Wow they already look dope. Idk why they would want to have it repainted.” And then I see the after photos and it makes complete sense. Super badass.

[@schwickman24]

Love watching these videos they bring so much joy to paint again

[@andrewfewtrell3983]

More videos like this please, I love Warhammer for it's lore, it makes me happy. But seeing the models brings it to life in a way. I don't want to say I know they're just plastic. The setting has me so enchanted it's...

So i dont play warhammer, but i do make custom figures. And what you said about owing them appreciate is so true. I've had some god-awful days where once i got home, i sat down, prepped parts, and began to paint. It's relaxing and helps you forget bad stressful days.
