Hi! Can you tell, is that drybrush on roofs looks good to you? I think it looks out of place, and on this scale it looks just like bad painting and not weathering or any other effect it tends to show. Is it only me? Should i rethink my point of view?

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Hey Uterr. It definitely could use more time then what we had as far as those roofs go. I found Applying the lighter dry brush as Brent did worked well, but then afterwards applying more washes or overtones of paint in various areas like the big dips in the roof etc to give a more natural look on top of the dry brush. We did what we could with the time we had, but I’d definitely recommend doing the light dry brush over not as it really brings out the finer detail and makes it feel a lot less flat. Afterwards, if you do the steps I mentioned above it’ll really give it a nice natural blended look and feel.

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Also, it makes sense the peaked areas on shingles would be the most weathered and lose their color first.

[@leftwingdragon6235]

Dear @goobertown hobbies it's because of and @Real Terrain Hobbies that I got back to painting after a 7 year break. Thank you both so much

[@readhistory2023]

Try dragging a paper towel over the rocks or even a fine tooth spongue. It leaves the grout in the cracks and cleans off the majority of the wet powder off the rock faces. I have have ten of Tabletop's buildings and they set a high bar for the rest of the terrain.

I am a huge fan but I can't lie my mind went straight to the gutter when you said " it was 5 fun filled days, I went to Canada, lived in Neil's basement and we made video." Fortunately for me my wife has the same since of humor so I didn't need to laugh alone. Now I have 9 of these buildings here from Table Top World to paint. So thankful to you guys for showing us this.

[@TabletopWorkshop]

Stunning work and quick&dirty is the best way for getting much terrain on the gaming table. Maybe a little hint: Try a fine deodorant atomizer for putting water on your model. And use distilled water (avoids chalk edges) with a tiny drop of dish soap. I think it works much better than a huge atomizer with regular water.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Hey thanks! And great tip with the water, much appreciated :-)

These models have a striking resemblance to the architecture found in the city's of Final Fantasy 9.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Yeah it's always neat to see where the inspiration for these artists comes from :-)

[@TheZapan99]

Square Enix concept artist usually visit cities like Colmar, Annecy and Prague to get their medieval inspiration. Before they could visit Europe, working with photo references caused them to get the scale wrong every time.

Mate u are awesome, keep making videos. Bro u are a legend at your trade. I would love to see more diorama build paintings

[@emilydowd-arrow3751]

I am really enjoying the videos from this colab! Thanks to you both! @Goobertown Hobbies. This is off topic, but I also want to thank you, Brent, for representing. I’d been watching your videos for a few months, when my five-year-old son came to me crying that he wanted to cut all his hair because boys at school teased him. Apparently, his short locks looked like “girl hair” to them. I was so hurt for him, but then I remembered you and your kick-ass hair. I showed him your video and said, “Look at Brent; he’s a scientist and a painter (two things my son loves). Check out his cool hair. Those silly boys don’t know what they’re talking about.” My son woke up the next morning smiling and told me he’d changed his mind: he likes his hair the way it is. Keep being awesome, Brent.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Hahahaha, happy to help! However he wants his hair to look is fine by me :-)

[@emilydowd-arrow3751]

Goobertown Hobbies it’s definitely hard to raise a son without a buzz cut these days-among other things. I appreciate being able to show my lil guys cool and successful people who don’t fit some stereotype.

[@nicholas1254]

When you sprayed the water directly at the pigment it blasted some away, next time try shooting the spray directly vertical over the area and let gravity do the work, do this when you need to wet stuff but don't want patches or blobs.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Good call! Neil and I were just figuring out this technique, that sounds like a solid modification :-)

Hey thanks for leaving this note! I'll keep on making these vids :-)

[@andrewtate4897]

Brent, a little tip mate you can buy powdered paint pigments instead of paying a fortune out for so-called weathering paints you can mix the to get exactly what you want for about a quarter of the price most good art/hobby shops sell em, you might be able to get em on Amazon ( not sure bout this you'll have to check)

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Hey Andrew! yup yup! On both the pigments and the washes we overpaid because we were on a time crunch and just used what neil grabbed from his local hobby shop. I've found some etsy stores that sell ~bulk pigments for reasonable prices.

[@13Robzilla]

@@GoobertownHobbies On that note you can also just buy a pastel stick of whatever color you need and shave it with a knife and make the pigment yourself.

[@Ronodentron]

I'm kind of curious to see what goober town looks like. You probably get off the train at station. The stations a little battered. But there's a happy ork selling some sort of meat on a stick. As he smiles at you that's when a motorcycle rores by....

I'm going to have to do a deep-dive into possible looks for goobertown. I think you've got a good starting point there :-)

[@tssteelx]

Well it be a great opportunity to do terrain tutorials. But I'd imagine given your resent actions. What you do is invite a bunch of people from the community to help you out. Also two words: mono rail.

[@khagan]

I learned a lot from this. Thank you! :)

[@haukionkannel]

Not related to this video, but could you make a video about mediums and flowenhancers. What Are They, how They Are different to each other. What to use in miniature painting... Just started (after over 35 years of pause) the miniature painting again and the stuff and materials have changed a lot! I have not seen food description about mediums and flowenhancers and there seems to be different kind of them ro different purposes. So it could be nice to have introduction video about this subject: who, what, how, why...

[@GoobertownHobbies]

I'd love to do a video on that someday. I've only just started doing the necessary research. someday, someday...

[@GoobertownHobbies]

[@jmarcin]

Hey Brent, question for you about your airbrush setup. In your videos you don’t use a ventilator or anything. Do you find that getting paint particulate and dust settling all over the room to not be too much a concern? I ask because I’m researching an airbrush setup for myself. Thank in advance!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

The settling around the room doesn't seem to be a problem at all, at least not in the quantities that I use. Just be careful with your direct spray, and don't spend too long breathing in the mist ;-)

[@robj8472]

For your next HOBBY SCIENCE video, do you think you could do one on the different types of plastics used (viz. polystyrene (including its variants) and resin)? I know they need to be treated differently, but I don't really understand why...

6:40 I don't know how to say this, Brent, but I think you just made an enemy of about 100 generations of stonemasons and bricklayers throughout history :) You absolutely wouldn't expect grout or mortar all over the place, unless it was a slap-dash, built-by-half-wits shack, that wasn't expected to last more than a year :D

I'll definitely will have to try that method for stone, I have some Desert Dust pigment lying around which should be close. What colour of paint did you use for the stucco? It looks nicer than the Deck Tan I've been using so far, it's a bit too yellowy.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

That stucco was "parchment" darkened up with a bit of nuln oil. I bet you can get a cool look with almost any beige/ bone color

[@Maeyanie]

@@GoobertownHobbies Thanks, I'll have to look into something like that next time I'm paint shopping. I've actually been using that same Vallejo Deck Tan for bone, teeth, claws, and other stuff like that too, and it works alright for those, but then they're a much smaller surface area.

[@seanmalloy7249]

@@GoobertownHobbies Several years ago, I did an experiment with several 3D-printed dungeon tiles where I primed them with either a very dark grey or a pale grey, and then used not-quite-drybrushing to do the stonework of the walls and floors, with the priming kept as the mortar color, working up in brightness from the dark prime and down in brightness from the light prime, and going back with slightly tinted shades for individual stones to get more variation. With a final edge highlight -- upper edges lighter for the dark tiles, and bottom edges darker for the light tiles -- I'm not sure which I liked better, although esthetically, the darker prime fits better for the environment of a dungeon. They both took about the same time, and I would need to do it again with more tiles to get a better feel for how long it takes.
