Since the brushes are designed for fine detailing, I decided to try them out using a painting technique I learned at Wonderfest in 2021 by modeler Randy Van Dyke on a bust of Picard. The technique results in a more realistic skin tone with natural color variations. A summary of the technique is available to my subscribers free of charge.
The incredible Picard bust was designed by Antonio Dato on CGTrader and has an incredible likeness of the famous Star Trek captain. More of his work can be found at the link below.

Very nice review and demonstration. Well done Number 1!

[@InterstellarModeler]

Thanks Marc

[@apostolosroulias8]

Your Picard voice is spot on! And the figure as well:)

[@InterstellarModeler]

Thanks so much

[@celticarchie]

Instant like from the opening... I'm rolling on the floor here... :D

[@InterstellarModeler]

LOL....thanks so much, "Picard out"

[@AntonioDato]

Thank you very much for your help Ozzie! I love the video and the paint job. Very nice!

[@InterstellarModeler]

You’re welcome

[@Tim-57]

Hey Oggie The bust is very realistic, with your paint job he looks just like the Captain. Take care 😊

[@InterstellarModeler]

Thanks Tim

[@OldFlapper]

Splendid work. The Gaalheri brushes are extremely pleasing. I always feel a little "Wow!" happening when I open my box and see it. I've had mine since they first released and if anything the performance has improved. My Iwatas havent seen very much use since the Mobius' arrived.

[@InterstellarModeler]

Thanks so much. I totally agree about the Mobius brushes. Thanks for watching

[@ralphlyons8020]

Nice work on Picard. I’ve been looking at the .2. So your review has helped me in deciding to get one. Thanks for the videos and reviews. I enjoy your work. Thanks.

[@InterstellarModeler]

Thank you very much Ralph. I appreciate your kind compliments

[@HobbyLinkInternational]

Very nice airbrushes thanks for the reviews. You did an outstanding job in Picard!! I am going to have to get those files.

[@InterstellarModeler]

Thanks Kenny. The likeness is just incredible. Print him larger if you can.

Another great video. With all your sci fi builds, I’m a wee bit surprised you haven’t built an ED 209. That would be an amazing kit to “bash” and add lights and more details to the mechanical systems. Also,,, I recently picked up the Hasegawa Ma K. Camel kit. If you check out other videos of those who have built it, it’s fantastic for detailing, but especially for adding lighting to the cockpit. Cheers

[@InterstellarModeler]

I’ll check it out. Thanks for the kond comments

[@Marielcs]

Awesome work!!!!

[@InterstellarModeler]

Thank u very much.

[@franco3584]

[@travisweeks7819]

[@InterstellarModeler]

Thanks Travis

[@voy709]

Awesome tutorial! Thank you

[@InterstellarModeler]

You're very welcome, thanks for watching. Appreciate the compliment too

[@JAMScale]

Very nice work. I had a lot of cool greys on hand but I do regret using those he looks a lot better with the warm greys and umber.

[@InterstellarModeler]

Thanks. I wasn’t quite sure how it would work out but am pretty happy with the results. Thanks for the compliments

[@Mollari]

Good informative episode! The 24 minute run time is just right for me. You manage to pack in a LOT of interesting content in that time. Was there a sweet spot for air pressure? That paint filter looked interesting. I now filter my paints. Had some annoying incidents with airbrushes clogging, when I first started. I use nylon empty tea bags, as I could not find something specific for airbrushes.

[@InterstellarModeler]

thanks for the compliments. I used about 15 psi for the most part. As for the paint cups, yes I have had problems with clogging and have tried various methods but these work really well.

[@davidf9257]

That looks great! I have the Spock bust printed but I haven't started it yet. Would you mind sharing the Word doc or Google doc file that has the step-by-step instructions on it?

[@InterstellarModeler]

Thanks for the compliment. No problem with sending the instructions to u. Can u email me at Interstellarmodeler at gmail? Thanks

[@meccamw]

Is there a video of Randy''s skin painting process? I thought I saw one but can't find it now.

[@InterstellarModeler]

I’m not aware of one. I just attended the panel and recorded a few steps.

[@apostolosroulias8]

Search for "Grex Model Figure Flesh Tone Airbrushing Video Series". Its a series of videos I found a few years ago, that if not identical is very similar to the technique shown. Though I think they were meant for larger scale, it gives awesome details on the skin.

😂Look like he should visit sick bay at one point 😅

[@InterstellarModeler]
