Always happy to see the Dark Eldar back on the channel! Masking can take too much time! Can't wait to see how you fix them!

[@MooreGaming2013]

Hi Jay! Its your Patreon member, Lord James III!

[@mf2943]

I actually really liked this video. Not because you are in agony, but because its just way closer to my own experience. My hobby journey started around 2 years ago and this, while not being in the same situation with masking tape, is what i had to go through. You think about something and then, something else happens and you loose motivation. And I dont paint an entire army in 24 hours, even when broken up over a couple of days. I have a few hours here or there, so seeing your progress in a week of full time work takes a lot of pressure from me. What i would like to see next is how you tackle the issues and how you keep on pushing ahead through that dread of everything that went wrong. And its not because you suffer, but persevere in the end, having an insanely good paint job and pushing your abilities with the time you have.

[@Miniac]

Next week's video is me dealing with these problems and forging ahead so tune in next Monday!

[@Lamefoureyes]

seconded

[@jinofthesheep]

This is probably one of the most relatable “paint an army” videos I’ve seen! I feel like I’m an incredibly slow painter compared to peers and content creators, but I’ve never liked the results of “paint quicker” methods and I like a certain result. Enjoyed this watch and felt your pain with the tape! Also, good job editor!

[@jamesmullineux8449]

Showing the mould line removal and the close up shots of the finished bare plastic, talking about how many times you need to refil your airbrush, how long it takes to do everything even for a pro are things other people seem not to show. You showing all that is great.

[@TetravaultActual]

Honestly? The bits of missing paint helps give a bit of character to the barges. Make it looks like they're damaged areas that have been repaired and filled in with spare parts! You can see this sort of deal with American bombers from WWII that were damaged by flak and patched up with spare ailerons and the like.

[@tay13666]

I was thinking that as well. Work with the damage.

[@ThrowawayClover]

I have a lot of thoughts! Point 1: I also bought Molotow after watching Marco. The random stripping is for sure an effect I've experienced while using it. I haven't ever truly diagnosed why, but i have theories. If the model is wet at all, it will not cure properly, and that moisture spot will strip. If you don't mix the paint enough before hand, same deal. But, that being said, Molotow is not advertised or intended as a true primer. To the best of my knowledge, It doesn't have the same bonding material a true primer would that allows it to adhere to the unpainted surface as effectively. BUT, while not having the same physical resistance to tape, Molotow resists the oils on my grimy ass fingers and mineral spirit washes AMAZINGLY. (I've smudged rustoleum automotive with my *natural oils*, so this is not a light task). Point 2: In my professional experience, i swear by the blue frog tape instead of proper masking tape. The blue tape (to me) feels like it has a softer tack and never peels the paint off of the walls or miniatures I've used it on. I can't scientifically say they're different. I haven't done the research, just based on first-hand experience. Point 3: I feel this is a great way to springboard into a collab with Goobertown Hobbies to have a scientific deep dive about paint adhesion, what makes a "primer" different from a "paint" and how it varies across brands! Point 4: All that being said, RIP your Raider/Ravagers 😢. It sucks when stripping happens, and i hope you feel all of us at home sending our good vibes.

[@henrikwannheden7114]

This is why I love your content. You don't seem to shy away from laying it bare, and raw, and very emotional. That's very powerful. I'm sure everyone has been where you've been, if not in the hobby then somewhere else in life. And we all need to be reminded that we're human, and life's a bitch sometimes, but still we carry on. Together, the burden is lessened. I hope you feel the love from the community, you certainly deserve it. And now, let's bring the next catastrophe! We're here for rain or shine!

[@grantchin3141]

I appreciate that you revealed all of the obstacles that you encountered without editing it to look flawless. It had some classic sad moments that I had experienced myself and suffered alone so I definitely felt for you. I got you, bro. Been there too often but that will make you stronger as you work through it. I am looking forward to see the remainder of the series. Thanks Scott. A big fan.

[@Dylanquinn666]

I love the approach! If I'm honest I can't stand the clickbaity "Paint a million models in 24 hours!" videos. It's not how I enjoy the hobby at all. If you're spending a lot of money on models, you should slow down and take time to enjoy them instead of feeling like you have rush and get things 'done' as fast as possible.

[@SerikonIsHere]

Donttell people what they should or shouldnt do. Mnay people dont enjoy painting and just want to get things done. Eqch to their own. There are 100 aspects of the hobby, each one as valid as the other one.

[@CronosVids]

Amen brother!

[@backfirecomics]

Relatable. One of your BEST videos.

[@CCMinis]

Great video Scott, really enjoy seeing the challenges that arrise and how you are tackling them. Godspeed on this, really looking forward to these videos! - and to answer your question from 6:35 , yes duplicating steps accross multiples of the same model saves a lot of time and energy - at least to me, your milage may vary, fingers crossed it helps 🤘

[@amalgam5107]

You can’t let Jay beat you Scott! You gotta have them 10 pts!

[@naphaneal]

when it comes to large armies, it crucial to understand, when it's okay to omit painting certain parts, especially the ones, you can't see, because they're either obstructed or in the deepest shadows...

[@brionl4741]

I almost never choose a color scheme that needs lots of masking. If I do need to mask off a small area, I use a little blob of silly putty.

[@ScytheNoire]

I didn't realize this was going to turn into a horror video near the end with the masking tape removal. Vince and Jon have been using Mr Hobby lacquer primer and it's the one that is most often recommended by war and car hobby modelers.

[@ScytheNoire]

@@chocolatebutter192 It looks like the primer pulled off, so the primer didn't adhere well to the plastic, which is the one thing the primer needs to do the most.

[@chocolatebutter192]

@@ScytheNoire yeah you are right. Completely saw it wrong with night mode colour correction

[@FredRothV]

Ugh. Brutal discovery. Forget asking yesterday me "why did you do that?" What's worse is when yesterday me sabotages today me unknowingly. Good luck! They look great, and imho we learn the most when fixing mistakes!

[@MinisMapsMayhem]

5:30 shot is SIIICCKKK! Excited to see everything on the table top!

[@TattooedTabletop]

No grief from me dude! At the end of the day, everyone has said it before, they are YOUR models. Do you paint them however you like, for however long you like. I do a lot of speed painting stuff, but I'm also just excited to get them to the table fully painted, and I still paint them up to a quality that I'm happy with. Probably not winning any paint awards, but that's fine with me. I also probably doomed myself when I low-key became affectionately known as "James Workshop" for all the models I have 🤣

[@awolphotos]

This is so helpful and makes me feel so much better about my efforts getting started painting and assembling models. I’m so excited to watch more of this series, your drukhari look so cool and I’m learning so much.

[@josegonzalezcastillo7021]

Relatable and closer to our experience.. thanks for tackling this project like this. Cannot wait to see the rest, not only how you fix your problems but which steps or parts you "give up" to keep yourself grounded to the project.

[@nurglematthew]

You got this, bud. Nurgle Bless Miniac Great Guy

[@elijahhaase5058]

Oh man.... I cannot express the amount of actual pain I felt watching the tape pull off the paint. That is SUCH a frustrating thing to deal with, not only because it's tearing off work you have already done, but now you have to deal with repainting and hiding the edges of where the paint didn't pull off. All that said, this was another FANTASTIC video! I really enjoyed the honest feelings/emotions throughout the video.

[@Clarke-S]

I think you are doing a great service with this upcoming series. It is good to see KZbin miniature channels encouraging folks to slow down and enjoy the hobby aspect, instead of trying to rush through armies to get their 10 VP on a fully painted army at a tournament (or whatever the reason may be). Society and life seems to be in a hurry lately, so encouraging people to slow down is not a bad thing.

[@chicagohobbyhero]

The pain we all felt when the paint came up. Keep going, Scott, you got it. This is your hobby and your army, not anyone else's. You own it and it should bring you joy. Thank you for bringing us along.

[@Writh811]

Hang in there! Seeing this has done more to encourage me to get back painting my pile of shame than the videos of folks jamming out flashy armies in a week. When the process is presented as too smooth it makes me think I should stop because I struggle. Seeing someone I consider talented in this area struggle means everyone must struggle, and that means it is not a reason to give up. I can't pick between you and Jay so I'm cheering for you both!

[@alfieweyman7304]

Love a new miniac video! Thanks for your amazing influence on the hobby 😊

[@richardebourne6332]

One other tip for masking, to prevent any bleeding is to use as sharp a blade as you can. I either put a fresh blade in my scalpel or use the scissors I also use for cutting my decals. Avoids any fuzzy edges that can let paint seep under. And for your tip on batch painting, I did that for my aggressors very recently. Built all 6 got a good base layer of light grey down and then airbrushed on my increasingly white paints. Then went down the oil wash route. As a first time doing this and not just using tamiya panel liner (which I used a lot on my scale models cars) I wanted a practice. My varnish layer wasn't thick enough and during clean up I took off some white. Lesson learned! I then experimented with an acrylic using lots of contrast medium and pre washing the recesses with water to guide the capillary action. This was better and cleaner. And didn't need to wait for another varnish layer to dry. I may go back to the oil wash, but for my white scar successors I'm enjoying toning down the grim darkness of the far future. And it's a way of painting I enjoy while not being too slow!

[@petercarducci9136]

As someone who's just finishing up a Necromunda gang I started painting a year ago, this is highly relatable. I find all the videos of people powering through entire army paint jobs in a day or two to be more demoralizing than motivating, making me feel like I shouldn't take the time to enjoy painting my models or put the work in to get a result I'm happy with. I'm excited to see more of this series, and if there's anyone who can salvage that gnarly masking tape situation it's you. Keep up the great work!

[@ReynardCalcifius]

As an ex gunpla builder/painter, masking was the bane of my fucking existence and I'm never doing it again, I felt your pain when the paint peeled off

[@Cajpaintballer]

When he said he didn't prime the models....

[@racketyneptune5559]

Hey Miniac, watching the end of the video rn. Just wanted to leave a positive comment since you mentioned people picking fun at you. I have nothing but respect for the dedication and love you put into each of these even when you’re doing army batch painting. They are looking great! Can’t wait for the next episode!

[@Falhurk]

I enjoy being along for the ride. It not going perfect is most of our experience.

[@Speakhardly]

I really liked this video because it reflects my experiences. There's always so much more back and forth in each process than what I imagine when starting, that it's refreshing seeing the same happen to a pro like you Scott. Looking forward to the next one!

[@daveshellabarger6352]

Great job, appreciate the candidness, like to see problems and how to work through them! Keep painting!

[@thesonofvader]

Great video Scott! I really appreciate how you keep it real with painting an army, especially because I am a slow painter too and that can hurt my hobby experience at times. I try to forget what the conventional expectations are for the time it would take to complete a model and enjoy the process. It is difficult when you have a deadline, but I’m always inspired by what a fantastic and talented painter you are! Also I appreciate how beautiful your miniatures turn out. I have full confidence that this will be in astounding and inspiring army!

[@Daealis]

I recognize those molotovs! Marco Frissoni used them all the time - probably still does, haven't watched his videos in a while. He does often start with the airbrushed layers, then varnishes the entire model for oils, varnishes again, and then comes back with whatever his flavor of the month paint product trial is. I imagine there's a decent amount of varnish keeping those molotovs down on the model by the time he gets rough enough that they could potentially chip off.

[@brokenheroics8223]

Dude, take your time and have fun with the project at your own speed. I was the same and rushed and hated my projects just to complete and play. Hope you get back to enjoying army painting as much as you love painting one model.

[@MikeScarbro]

Ah, I’ve been skipping the morning soda! That’s the key to painting like a fiend.

[@bryanbosse5513]

I love the honestly and quality. Don't stop because you inspire us

[@RunawayMisfit]

Love watching this video! I'm so sorry your had some casualties during this masking but it was so inspiring to see u keep going. I would have been furious and not looked at the models for days, I can't wait to see more ❤

[@LordScimitar]

It's great to see the work in progress! As a slow painter I can relate to the anxiety of trying to tackle multiple similar models. You shared some great airbrush tips too. I'm looking forward to watching the progress on your army!

[@hyosworld109]

I really appreciate you sharing your mental struggles during the process, I can absolutely relate and I'm not even making a video on top of the hobbying!

[@coryvinson1038]

Thanks for keeping it real scott.

[@saint-lu_antonin]

It feels really good to see you through an army. I'm more on the 40k side of the hobby. And I identify way more when you paint GW stuff. I also love others, but man, it just feel good to see you go through the same model I have in my room!

[@Acrylicviking]

Love it! Masking airbrush work is scary stuff and can definitely cause some frustration. I suppose I'd mask 1 model at a time, and make sure to take the masking off the same day!

[@TabletopTitan]

You're killing it, dude! Army painting isnt a sprint, it's a marathon.

[@Brettpw]

Keep at it Scott! Painting an army is about blood, sweat, and tears aka the journey. When you look back at your horde of completed dark elf boys you’ll feel adventure of it all every time. Looking forward to the rest of this series!

[@Xvampirex2]

Dude you're doing great! keep going I love watching it progress at any rate. Ill keep tuning in no matter how long.

[@iamaraindog385]

Looking forward to this! I've loved watching EonsofBattle paint his Drukhari, so seeing the counterpart is exciting!

[@TacticalMetalhead]

This is highly relatable. I paint to a very high standard, and halfway through my Dark Angels-themed Knight Warden, some metallic sparkles found themselves speckled on its armor plates. This came from airbrush particles floating ENTIRELY across my room. 3 days later, the armor panels are fixed. Nightmare.

[@stevegoudreau7973]

Bro. You are doing what makes you happy with your hobby. Keep rocking

[@Rynhelms]

Great video! You're killing it man! Love how the army is coming along!

[@Zerthinium]

Oh dear god. What happened to Scott with that masking tape is ALL of my experience with masking tapes. Ever. At some point I was convinced that this is what always happens and was seriously surprised that do many painters just recommend using tape

[@Miniac]

First time this has ever happened to me with tamiya masking tape 😭

[@frugal10191]

I have never understood why people spend hundreds of dollars on an army, but then want to bash out the paint job in an hour. If painting is part of your hobby, then it should take as much time as you want it to.

[@CupolaDaze]

Some people hate painting and just want to get it over with. So the painting "should take as much time as you want it to." Apparently they want it to be done in an hour.

[@SeerIbarelyknowher]

GW profits from wargamers racing to have full armies painted and played with while rules are still relevant since an entire edition usually fully rotates in about 4-5 years. Some models also lose official support, and are discontinued. GW is financially incentivized to keep that grind going, and folks are rarely capable of keeping up. I think that's the largest reason why it's like that anyway.

[@theBomblu]

Miniac Mondays! ❤ Thanks for sharing your unedited process, it’s great to see that we all need to deal with unexpected situations when painting!

[@Haggispk]

You're a trooper! Never give up! Never surrender!!!

[@arved.jeltsch]

Thank you for this awesome video! I really enjoyed both the stunning videography as well as the "I take you on my hobbying journey"-story telling. Keep up the great work! 🎉 P.S. and - yes - I could really feel the pain when you removed the masking tape from the older models 😢

[@Breland1976]

Awesome realistic approach. Looking forward to this series.

[@theromeog]

thanks for doing the honest hobbiest video. Love learning and not just watching. Seems like a lot of other channels are just "I am a god painter and never make mistakes" 20 minute videos that make me feel like I am doing things wrong.

[@southpaw2144]

Scott, Loving the content of your videos lately. I been painting for a little over a year now and decided to take the plunge for Armies on Parade 2025. It's refreshing to see someone of your experience run into similar problems like the rest of us mere mortals lol. Thanks for the content, it keeps me steadily inspired to get better despite the steep learning curves and set-backs!

[@gideongallant1185]

Looking good! And your experience is very relatable

[@mr.moustache.alberta]

Another fantastic video bud! If there is a silver lining to the paint stripping, it's that you determined the root cause and informed your viewers. You identified the issues and quickly came up with proactive solutions going forward. That approach is so incredibly valuable to new painters, to understand that sometimes we are ambitious and we try something different and but it doesn't work and we must persevere, learn from it, and take those lessons with us. That's what's important. Also, the pale tan / khaki and matte black aesthetic is SO sick dude!

[@kjstrohs11]

Love this break down. Feel like it often goes like this... Two steps forward, one step back.

[@LuisSanchez-fm4bu]

Scott.... Awesome video! Love your work and your way to keep us motivated to keep building and painting. I like how you tried other ways to achieve your goal. Sometimes things don't go the way we planned. You didn't block yourself at the moment the masking tape pulled up the paint (sometimes the worst thing a painter has to deal with 😱). Also, I'm 100% with you when you mentioned that "you don't enjoy the methods of painting faster". A great friend and mentor in the hobby told me that "build what you like the way you like it". For me it has been my golden rule since I started building model kits for more than 30 years. For the masking tape Mr. Hobby has a low taking tape (blue one) and is thin. Also check on one of the Gundam stores, you will find precut masking tape in different shapes that will save you time and headaches. I have been using them for years without issues. There are a lot of tools from other types of model building that can help you a lot. Thank you again for your time and effort to help us to enjoy the hobby!!!!!

[@evilpeachesofdoom]

Greatness! Thanks for a video with lots of downs and ups. I think you are finding your ground. Keep up the excellent work.

[@KK-nl1kn]

I really liked this, with all the "CRAZY HACKS TO PAINT YOPUR ARMY IN A DAY" videos, this is very refreshing, seeing the strugglle and the slow process. But still very enjoyable and relatable because im sure stuff like this has happened to all of us. I think it's a great video and i'd love for you t continue this series and to see how you actually progress forward and fix the damaged parts instead of just seing someone present a shiny en product.

[@sindrestorheim7241]

Great jobb! You got alot done, and to an amazing results! For how good the raiders already look, you working at a nice pace :D

[@SeerIbarelyknowher]

@6:30 You bet your sweet bippy I do! I paint armies for a studio in the states, and anything that keeps you from putting a tool down and picking something else up is golden for mass batch painting. I did 30x poxwalkers recently and I stuck each of those bad boys onto some poster tac and 30x small mdf model holders on a tray. Assembly line is boring, but it is the way when it's about time for your $$.

[@rybastudio.artwork]

I mainly paint armies so I've been there. There are a lot of tips and tricks that allow me to paint one army per 5-6 weeks and the most important thing is to use a varnish in the middle of work and before masking. One more thing - just use a can of good primier, not speedpaint method with magenta/cyan, we need one solid prime. The most funny thing for me is that I was struggling with masking tape during painting Raiders xD

[@ThroatSlam]

As someone who just bought like 35 boxes of Drukhari units thank you for posting this 😂

[@hudsonmayne8702]

Painting chipping is free weathering, trust

[@havelock1982]

Hey Scott, I can totally relate to your experience here. Sometimes it feels like most of my precious hobby time is spend fixing my own stupid mistakes.

[@chrisbell292]

I have to say, showing a negative result in a KZbin video is really refreshing. No plan survives contact with paint. As someone who uses tape frequently to mask off areas, try pulling the tape off as close to 90 degrees as possible to lessen the chance of paint coming off

[@falcogress1136]

Great video! We've all been there that a plan we had for our miniatures didn't work out for whatever reason. Very relatable! And thank you Chris, great job by you also!

The while Taping part just makes ne shiver somehow lol. This is a part of the hobby that just drains my soul.

[@Grrizz84]

I'm right there with you, speed painting is efficient but the results always leave me wanting. When I see what you got done in a week I'm impressed, I'm a slow painter but I enjoy the process (at least when its going well 😅). I want to get faster but every time I tell myself I'm going to do this one quickly coz I dont care that much about it, I find something new to try and it still takes ages 😂

[@sociallysupreme7101]

i have a bunch of cities of sigmar cavalry and infantry. i spent an entire day on one, like eight hours, and honestly it was super fun. i dont like batch painting at all, i only ever enjoy painting single characterful minis. i painted a goblin warband and its my best work, just because each mini was done individually with care. thats how i paint minis, i do it cause i love it.

Dude, its looking really good - don't take crap from anyone, this video is great and as much as it hurts / sucks / is not great, it will be interesting to see how you are able to fix the issues and continue to move forward.

[@heriomortys]

@Miniac I just had an idea for that sand wave under your flyer. If you were to try it again I would use fishing line or hair. Get it fixed into shape in the curve you want, then spray some glue and dust on it. You could maybe even do it like really long tufts of grass with a bunch of dirt on it. I dunno maybe wouldn't work, maybe it would.

[@FelixZwirn]

Thank you for showing us moments of "weakness". Too many content creators only show perfect moments. And even if they show failures, they seem scripted. When the tape peeled of the paint, I wanted to give you a patt on you back and say: "It'll work out, don't you worry."

[@ryanbaconsizle9119]

Im glad we're getting more content about how these "speed paint challenges" aren't realistic! Yea they're cool to watch but I can see how some would get overwhelmed by the idea of it
