Painting a Tiny Avengers Thor! (no spoilers)

Hi mr Scott do you know head too small?

You prolly dont care but does any of you know a method to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me

[@averymoses9744]

@Devin Dakota instablaster =)

[@devindakota3218]

@Avery Moses thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@devindakota3218]

@Avery Moses it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my ass !

[@Miniac]

Sorry about the reupload. Fixed some pretty annoying audio issues. There's still 1 issue and if you can find it you get 5 jonbucks.

[@thehobbyhermit]

I can only currently watch it in 320p? I am assuming (hopefully) so early to the show

[@AJDeLaRosa]

I had watched the first one before it was pulled. Tried to send it to a friend and the share info was gone. I was real confused for a minute.

[@boddie.n_0339]

360p

[@Miniac]

@@thehobbyhermit Should be 1080p now.

[@JohnKessler]

Shoot I didn't notice the errors in the first... loved it and when I saw you where doing thor I wasn't expecting the conversion which made it that much more epic.

[@AJDeLaRosa]

I like it! Paint another! ⚒️ 🎨 You've inspired me to try my hand at a couple super heroes for my kids. Thanks, Scott!

[@BaijoGosum]

Good stuff. My new favorite series

[@samuelrochefort]

Amazing Scott! Thanks for sharing this conversion!

[@JCZFootball]

Awesome video Scott! I really liked the color pattern of the first cape, but I really appreciated you explaining how you went back over the cape when you painted it the second time. I dont have an air brush and really enjoyed seeing how to get a really cool looking cape by bringing up the color from the darks to light. I always learn something new from your videos, whether it is blending techniques, feathering, etc. Thank you for putting out quality content! Looking forward to seeing you PAINT MORE MINIS! - Very Respectfully, Joe

[@adamb3455]

I absolutely LOVE the depth you achieve with your reds.

[@dovel1000]

That does not stink! Yes, more conversions please.

[@xMRxZEROx]

You've quickly become my new favorite mini painter. You're a smartass sarcastic metalhead who knows how to paint a mini with skill. It's like looking into a mirror. Except I'm fat and have an obsession with Harry Potter... don't judge me. 🤟🏻🤣

[@Hynesight2020]

Tip for rolling out Greenstuff/Apoxie Sculpt/Milliput: roll it out on baking parchment paper (prob the same stuff most of us have for our wet palette). Apparently it is laced with silicon which is what keeps it from sticking to baking foods and, subsequently, sculpting mediums. Thanks Uncle Atom! *Insert old 50's thumb swoosh and cheesy smile here*

[@IsenMike]

Parchment paper (like you'd use for a wet palette) is actually really good for rolling Milliput. The Milliput will stick, but you can rub water through the other side of the paper, thinning the Milliput just where it's adhering to the paper, and then you can peel it off pretty easily.

[@Android_replicant]

I was surprised by the work of carving the ax, a lot of work, I think it is the best miniature superhero that I have seen, I would like to see more superheroes.

[@stevenelson7650]

This is my favorite video of yours so far. You are my go to mini painter on youtube for two reasons: First, no one else seems to be critical of their own work or ever make mistakes. Sure, Vince Venturella can put more contrast in an ogre's left buttcheek than ive ever had in any entire model in my life, but I'd rather see someone stick a tiny head on a big thor any day. Fckn up is relatable and like-able and mistakes are better learning points. Second, you're from Minnesota, so.... yeah. We just unconsciously hang dong all day. What it is bro. What it is.

[@bryal7811]

Using the DC icons face in a marvel miniature. What a mad lad.

[@alphabassist]

Nice Dutch angle on the blackboard shot.

[@UncleJessy]

Badass man! Been grinding through a bunch of your videos working on painting my first skin tons on a 3d print... funny enough Thor

[@bahrianpro]

Hello Scott.. Handling with miliput to make it flat, better using baby oil for a better result. I used this kind of clay like miliput or Epoxy Sculpt often and better used it with baby oil. Baby oil can smooth the result and not making the clay sticky to the hand also..

[@klandgraf6956]

even with the head swap size issue its a great mini imo, i especially love the thunder effect that was done

[@9000ethanator]

I love the Source! I honestly think the head looks fairly proportionate, it’s just the exaggeration of the body and cape that shrink it.

[@moonelie]

oh god his head is so itty bitty. edit: I think that its more a matter of the cape is so huge. The end result is still an excellent conversion.

[@georgiosstathopoulos]

Bravo sir!

[@ironreed2654]

Just got my first few tubs of Epoxi Sculpt, thanks for the timely lesson!

[@khardram]

10/10 Audio special effects

[@Scaraman2112]

After seeing you cut the head off superman all I could think was paint the superman mini! N.b. never stop using the chalkboard

[@FirstLast-ks6vm]

To be totally fair to the head swap, this mini had some weird proportions to begin with.

[@MarketResearchReading114]

Hi Miniac I thought the lightning effect on the blade was good enough, but I know that it could've informed the NMM a bit more, and I wish we could've seen you wrangle that sort of problem. I know you might have wanted a more game-ified effect so its not a bad solution, but I also thought that up against such a realistic shine, that it was an abrupt contrast. I hope you do more videos. I hope your patreon is working out well for yal. I also want to say that I really enjoy your podcast. I know its hard starting out with anything so please keep it up!

[@redrooster7371]

I like the sculpting of the hair. Why did you use milliput for the axe and not a piece of plasticard?

[@Miniac]

I'm not sure, I've just seen a lot of professional sculptors take this route. Miliput is for sure a lot easier to shape, but also more brittle

[@redrooster7371]

@@Miniac To shape, yes. But to make a flat piece to cut out the axe? I made lots of tiny tools like hammers etc. for a diorama out of plasticard. If you shape something by sanding and cutting away I'd try plasticard the next time. I find it a lot easier and less messy to sand than milliput. Give it a try. BTW for my german ears you pronounced Mjolnir correct.

[@dungeonsanddobbers2683]

Scott: Does a black metal music joke by throwing the horns and playing a clip of a few notes from a song. Me: "Is that Impaled Northern Moonforest?"

[@Miniac]

Classic band

[@marcwittkowski5146]

You pronounciation of Mjölnir isn't too bad for an English native speaker, tbh. Not a fan of the lightning myself, but the rest is great.

[@thecadaver]

I feel like the issue with the head is bc classic cape comics have very little to do with actual human anatomy, trying to apply reason was always going to fail. Like you said, he's not the shape of a normal man, so I think you would've had to find a similarly Liefield-esque mini for it to look totally perfect. I think maybe you could've cut the neck down shorter to match the super swole look, but it's superheroes, it doesnt matter.

[@joshgibbs3337]

Great video!!! Definitely should try to paint all the Avengers or or paint a historical duder!!!

[@Anthony-hp2kt]

I really enjoyed your interpretation of infinity war thor! I found it interesting the way you sculpted the weapon stormbreaker and really liked the conversion head. I think my favorite parts were the weapon sculpt and the chest piece. I think its pretty sweet how you bring so much contrast to each area. Also thought it was interesting how much control you had with edge high lighting with such a large brush, or it seemed large. I find myself trying to use a small brush to paint on my warmachine mini's, but I'm struggling with this nasty dry halo near the feral on my brushes. I really enjoy your vids, don't waste time on the boots boss!

[@SC0E]

what an entertaining and informative video! high quality content as always. happy to see these videos intersect with current pop culture, may help increase exposure to this niche hobby. TL;DR keep up the good work Scott!

[@Kojak0]

Regarding the head size: One (I guess ironic) thing about that is that in the comics, heads are drawn smaller in order to make the characters look more imposing and taller. Of course, since this is the movie version, that makes it... wrong. So to speak. That said, I didn't see a real issue with the head size per se - the armor might bulk him up quite a lot - although, in all fairness, I think that might come down to the simple fact that the scult itself is subpar. But nice and entertaining video, so props for that.

[@grayire]

Do you have a sculpting tutorial? Would watch the heck out of that

[@snoopanoop7705]

Awesome video

[@Michaelkayslay]

What is the best way to remove decals from plastic shields, file or some sand paper?

[@mandzakminiatures]

Use baking parchment paper for rolling and flattening your putty on.

[@keithgraham8874]

I've never done miniatures, but it looks like something I'd like to try. Where do you buy them?

[@plastefuchs666]

I wish Knight Models would still produce their Marvel model range. Can't comment on the quality of the game, but the models looked dope.

[@benthomson9066]

I feel that since your base has the deepest recesses being blue it kind of makes it look like the axe has recessed blue parts as well. It looks like they're glowing blue cracks and not lightning. Not that's really that bad or anything.

[@ludvigd4341]

11:33 was the soundeffect from Gittuar Hero on PS3!

[@CyberDagger003]

I wish the Marvel miniatures weren't out of print. I want to paint some superheroes, and I like the Marvel cast more than the DC one.

[@Dermetsu]

You can find them on ebay!

[@codelicious6590]

Do you prefer Milliput to green stuff? I'm curious because I have not tried green stuff on anything.

[@KrogunDK]

Stormbreaker was very well done, sir! Having Thor land with such force that the earth is splitting apart, was a brilliant idea. That part looks badass! I've been thinking about this for some time: NMM which isn't near perfection looks just straight up worse than TMM. I think it takes an insane amount of skill, time and effort to pull. Hell no - I can't do it myself. I respect the effort, Scott. It's like it looks bad, not at all. There are some competition pieces out there with some staggeringly gorgeous NMM work, which I dare say surpasses any TMM I've ever seen, but the investment is for sure enormous. Have you guys had similar thoughts?

[@keanueraine]

Love the conversion. Can't say I like Non Metallic highlights. They make metallic paints, I'm going to buy metallic paints. I don't think your head is too small, it's pretty good to me. Your Stormbreaker was great, just a little more meat on the hammer side maybe. Whowever wins your Conversion I.W, Thor will be very lucky. Great Video Miniac. Now you need a End Game Captain America with Shield and Mjolnir. :)

[@IzzysIssues]

Did you happen to have this already or did you get really lucky hunting for one? I'm looking for some of the Marvel ones still because I didn't discover Knight Models until recently and most everything I've come across online is being sold as painted

[@Miniac]

I got really lucky at my LGS and found a 4 pack of marvel characters

[@luferox3443]

Why didn't you use plastic card for the axe-hammer head? Wouldn't it have been easier to handle?

[@RM_3D]

Its tiny head and hand man! with the powers of disproportions. jk looks sick non metallic is super cool

[@plasmofandwedge7142]

Aw man I saw the first vid either way great job love your stuff maybe next time do ravin from teen titans or a villain?

[@aythrea]

Clearly hat needs its own camera.

[@Atiklyar]

Anyone else think the face looks a bit more like Ego than Thor? Awesome conversion regardless!

[@TheMiniJunkie]

Cool, but yeah the proportions of the model make his head look a bit small :D

[@rustedbeetle]

The MiniJunkie , to me it looks like Kurt Russel, as Ego, cosplaying as Quiltman!

[@chaosslayerofworlds6020]

That was cool. I know I can't sculpt for shit. Scott, awhile back you mentioned a company that makes inks compatible with the old GW ink, I've been searching through your vids and haven't found it yet. Any chance you could let me know who it was that makes that stuff? Thanks for your time.

[@Miniac]

Coat d' arms is the name of the company, I believe

[@Mrrtchbrrx]

Great video, as per usual. But I need to know about the music pls.

[@TheGrimmShado]

I really like the proportion of the head, and the sculpting is simple and effective, great job. On the other hand the lightning on the blade is pretty... meh. The effect it's not convincing and the lack of OSL from the axe pushes that fakeyness . I would probably keep the clean blade, but you know. everyone is a critic. you rock.

[@CATAHA986]

LIKE for the AWESOME custom haircut!

[@archiebattershill7266]

where do you buy these miniatures

[@Darkurge666]

Mjuelner is pretty close. ;D Its "Mjölner" but you don't have the ö so its hard to translate the pronunciation, especially via writing.

[@Shalnork]

I like it a lot but I think the lighting effect on Stormbreaker was not on point. Seems more like cracks that flowing electricity (which of course is far more difficult to achieve). I would love to see Iron Man since there are light effects (like Arc Reactor) that I would love to see.

[@Darkteddybear87]

Like the conversions but not a fan of the base. To me there's too much grass and there should be more transition in the lightning on the ground, maybe transition from blue to lighter blue to white in the middle? I'm still new so I'm most likely wrong.

[@bigb1078]

So, he's a little Thor? :)

[@AVspectre]

Only after a good workout... :)

[@luisdelgadoamores1828]

Hmm. Scott I will tell you first that I couldn´t do it better. The Skill in you is strong. But that is not your best work, it looks kinda ... hmm ... you finished it just for finally finishing it. Still, this is really impressive.

[@breandan3280]

Any reason you didn't use on of the Heroclix heads already based on Chris Hemsworth? Legitimately just wondering

[@Miniac]

Well, I didn't think of it is probably the primary reason. Another reason is historically, heroclix miniatures don't have the greatest detail.

[@neilbrown2451]

Hi. I love your vids but this one didnt moisten my loins at all. The Shazaam and aquaman models were absolutely amazing. Didn't like the base at all and the scale armour and cape weren't up to your usual standards, IMHO. Not being a hater - still admire your work.

[@leefryett6858]

You forgot to sculpt his Endgame beer gut and long hair n beard

[@testthewest123]

I like it, but the lightning somehow looks off to me. The whole model is painted in a realistic style, while the lightning looks cartoonish. Also (see 21:18) it looks somewhat rough, compared to the fine detailed looks of the rest of the miniature. Those lightnings should have been more white and more varied in thickness. (compare to this pic: geeksoncoffee.com/avengers-infinity-war-thors-new-weapon/)
