How to paint white marble for miniatures(NO AIR BRUSH)!!!

[@MonkeyNinja99]

This is a really cool technique, I'm going to have to try this. I hate swapping out airbrush colors and recleaning all the time, this seems much simpler!

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

I'm glad you liked it, one of the reasons why I did experimenting until I came up with this technique. Shaping colors in an airbrush is quite exhausting 😴

[@djoninstark1978]

You have a very friendly voice and do a good job talking through your inspiration process as well as each step of the project. Thank you.

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad you like the video 🙏

Using the plastic wrap to give it some depth is genius. Nice work!

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

Thank you!

[@Balbazac]

This is really excellent, and neatly sidesteps the main issue I ran into trying to do the masking material + airbrush method to minis--it's very difficult to get the baby wipes or cotton sheet wrapped tight enough on anything other than a flat surface. The saran wrap smearing in particular is a fine touch.

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

Thank you I'm glad you like it. I also found that the baby wipe airbrush technique has its limitations and wouldn't work well with other types of shapes so I did some experiments amd came up with this method which can be used with any colors. If you experiment with different colors these same steps you might get some really good unexpected results that work on any model.

Hey Man, it“s 0510 in Europe and i enjoy your Tutorial before going to work !! Thanks a lot, I’m definitely trying this after work 👍👍👍

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

im glad you did buddy, Greetings from the US thanks for the comment :)

Just popping in to say that I wish I had found your video a week or two ago before I did all my basing with the gauze & rattle can method. This seems much easier to do and provides a more controlled result, even if it does take longer. I do plan on using something similar (same technique, different colors) to do the black marble columns for my display board. The gauze method does not work if you have to paint all the sides at the same time, so this was literally going to be impossible for me before. Thanks much for the easy to follow tutorial.

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

I'm glad you found it useful since I know painting marble effect can be exhausting. At least now it'll be easier for you when you do the black marble which will look really good. I had plan on making a black marble tutorial soon as well. Please free to share photos of your work with me on my Instagram @falcon_mini_studios or my Facebook at prince troncoso my main page. I'll make sure to give you a shout out.

[@reyshielharding3987]

Hello! I have watched many videos for a marble effect, in my humble opinion, your technique is superb and is the only one I would consider using. This is superior for many reasons, this effect can only be accomplished without an airbrush, total control is what you have presented! Using an airbrush eliminates the control you will need to truly create this effect! Excellent and spot on tutorial Sir., thank you!!!!!

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

I'm really glad you found this useful! Thank you for your feedback im happy to be of a help!

[@reyshielharding3987]

@@FALCONMINISTUDIOS Thank you for your kind words indeed, every video I have viewed on KZbin (and I have viewed them all) misses the mark completely. I have been frustrated, I have a Greek column for a 1/6 Hoplite figure, this column is 24" tall. You have come to the rescue with your definitive reproduction of scale Marble! I believe that your approach to this complex problem is masterful and it is obvious that you know what you are doing. Thank you Sir. for sharing your expertise with all of us and finally solving an extremely complex problem so expertly! Thank you and take care........

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

@@reyshielharding3987 it is i who is humbled by your kindness. Truly my goal in my channel is to always make it simple to understand and find ways to simply things so anyone who sees my videos can know they have options. I know how hard it can be to overcomplicate something that is supposed to be fun so I'm always experimenting to bring you guys new content as often as I can. If you would like to share your photos with me and have Instagram tag me @falcon_mini_studios my Facebook page at prince troncoso ill make sure to give you a shout out as well for your painted columns 👍

I must say also that you have a superb teaching approach, it has been an honor to have met you, looking forward to more of your expertise on KZbin my friend, take care.........

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

@@reyshielharding3987 wonderful buddy! Thank you again and I look forward to seeing some of those photos 😉. Also if you ever have any video suggestions please let me know most of my video tutorials are based of peoples requests.

[@13Robzilla]

Really liked this method, better more realistic results than other methods I have tried, being able to do without airbrush is also key. Thank you sir!

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

I'm glad you found this useful! Thank you for the comment and the sub! More vids like this coming soon 😉.

[@skulker_s8664]

Not being super talented, I gave it a quick and dirty try following the steps roughly. I can't believe it, the result actually looks very damn decent, especially for my first attempt! Will definitely use it more and see what I can achieve. Thank you very much!

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

Thats the best thing about this technique its useful and easy to do for any level. This really means a lot since its a marble paint technique I invented amd im glad it helped. Keep it up and your welcome!

[@phalicmenace7076]

Thanks man. I just got some Knights and wanted to do a marble. I'm thinking of doing a muted bright red wash under the white layer to give it a vibrant look

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

Your welcome, try these steps with any color the results will be as awesome!

[@scoutlaceharding]

Great video! I love the tip about using plastic wrap; can't wait to try it out. :)

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

Glad you like it, hope you can share your work on my Facebook. Feel free to add and tag me at prince troncoso or Instagram the same way 😊

[@andrewbratchell1715]

Oh man, I wish I saw this video before I tried painting my bases. I tried using the baby wipe method without an air brush. Turn out so bad! The plastic sheet wipe method is so clever. I will give it a try, thanks for the tips.

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

thankfully we have so many options now I'm glad this can help! ✌️ Thank you for your comment!

[@marcomosges4255]

Nice tutorial. Any idea what colours to use for black marble?

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

Thank you! I would suggest black as the base, dark grey, light grey, and beige. Following these same steps beginning from the darkest colors up to the lightest. Finally a wash of diluted black to tie everything together and give it that "black marble" appeal. Perhaps I should make a video on other different color marble effects beginning with black! ✌️

[@marcomosges4255]

@@FALCONMINISTUDIOS That would be really nice. Thanks for the advice.

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

@@marcomosges4255 my pleasure hope you have fun with it. I will put that video on my list to make ✌️

[@Clintv42]

Great guide. Suggestion for next time. It’d be fantastic to be able to see the kind of dilusion you’re talking about. Maybe a view of you actually doing it so we can see what ratios you’re working with.

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

@@Clintv42 thank you for your comment, I realized I wasn't clear about that in this particular video which is why I made a new "marble/ jade" painting tutorial recently where I actually show and tell that exact same thing. You can check it out it's my most recent video. Thanks! ✌🏼

[@lancetekk]

nice Video!

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

thank you!

[@FlourEater]

I'll do that to my Sisters power armour..I am afraid of doing it with airbrush, since they have a lot of robes. Your way is excellent and ecactly what I need, thank you

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

I appreciate you checking the video out. And considering the air brush has its limitations for certain things like armor and lots of parts in the way the good old brush really does the job. Im sure when your done with it it's going to look great! 👍

[@amirhayek821]

Very nice! How would you do it if you wish to have more black or blue marble?

[@amirhayek821]

Found your other marble video, will check that out and experiment a bit :)

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

I plan on making more marble effect tutorials and definitely can be done with any colors. Using the same steps in this video you can experiment with other colors and you'll be glad to see the versatility of this technique 😉

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

@@amirhayek821 yes thank one is fun and also great to experiment using other colors

[@AevasHouse]

I cant seem to crinkle the food wrap right it doesnt leave spaces like yours what am I doing wrong?

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

Try wrinkling the wrap first and then place it down, allow it to unwrap itself a little before removing it while on the surface you are painting.

[@watsonlim9449]

What primer did you use?

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

I used Vallejo gery airbrush primer.

[@Boggycreeklife]

I was with you until the plastic, did you let the paint dry a little with the plastic on it? When I tried, paint came off on the plastic but didn’t reveal any of the gray underneath, just smeared the white into a blob. Yours looks great though

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

Using the plastic makes sure you always do it while the paint is still wet. At least now you know by experience lol. Thank you I really appreciate it! Give it another try I promise it'll work this time.

[@MrSocK100]

Is that not called cling film where you are from?

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

Saran wrap or plastic wrap is what we call it here in the States. I've never heard of cling film. I suppose it is the same considering it does cling onto things.
