Star Wars: Legion Painting Guide Ep.8: T-47 Airspeeder

[@krisgonewild1]

This video is 4 years old so you might not see this comment, but between this and the AT-ST video I was able to replicate your techniques on a project I was scrapping (kitboshing is the word I think) together. Taking a gummy vitamin bottle and turning it into a worn star wars drop pod went surprisingly well thanks to your videos. I've only painted one other mini before so I'm about as new as they get. Thanks!

[@Sorastro]

Hey Christopher! Thanks for sharing - sounds like a fun project! 😀

[@torniolol]

Pure class, utter perfection. The maestro strikes again! Thanks Sorastro!

Yay! A Sorastro’s painting tutorial after an almost horrible day at school!

The end result you achieved is really fantastic. Perfect IMO.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks buddy! I really appreciate that :)

[@sanderslotboom7022]

Your tutorials are spot on amazing. Especially the weathering techniques. Super helpful, I used practically every tutorial you did for my Legion miniatures so far. Thanks, incredible paint jobs!

[@Sorastro]

Thanks so much Sander! I'm glad you're finding the videos useful :)

[@sjhhej]

A perfect capture of the Star Wars "used future" aesthetic. Excellent painting tutorial.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks Luddite! Much appreciated :)

[@BadgerLovingFluffster]

I'm a fan of the stuff you do generally, but this is one of the best models I have seen from you. Right up there with the Fire Giant from Blood Rage. Excellent work!

[@Sorastro]

Thanks so much! That means a lot to me :)

[@fortunado21]

Absolutely unreal. Been watching for quite a while now; not sure if you're getting better or if just tackling harder things for the series. Either way, still love your work. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot Alexander! I really appreciate that; I'm on my learning journey like everyone else :)

[@MrForsaken5]

Wow. Such a perfect result. I can't wait to paint mine now.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks so much Brad! That's praise indeed 😁

[@mikeljokinecheveste1287]

Nicely painted and weathered vehicle, I especially liked the fresh blaster impacts and the old trick of the models painters of the reflections on the windows. As usual, an outstanding job. :)

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot Mikel! I'm really glad you liked it :)

This makes me want to watch ESB snow battle scene. Haven't watched that in a long time.

[@Sorastro]

Excellent! Such an awesome scene :)

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot Steve! I'm looking forward to sharing my Veers and getting to work on the Snowtroopers and Leia.. :)

[@gregzuvich1195]

I love this painting series. Very skilled painter. Only thing I would add is this: About the 10:30 mark he is free-handing a block to paint in. He is painting the line in a motion away from himself. It is easier to draw (and paint) a straight line towards you rather than away from you. I am no artist and certainly nowhere near as good as this guy, but I have taken enough art classes to know the how to draw or paint a straight line trick. Otherwise, fantastic work once again!

[@Sorastro]

Thanks Greg! Much appreciated (including the tip) :)

[@JonBius]

Great stuff! I really enjoyed the demonstration of how to make the canopy parts look reflective. Good technique to add to the quiver.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks Jon! :D

[@TheRunesmythe]

Another amazing job; between the weathering and your drybrush sorcery, the vehicle really came to life. For such a seemingly simple technique, the fresh blaster mark really sells the illusion; it looks like it is really glowing hot. This is one of my all time favorite Star Wars vehicles and, in keeping with pattern, the Fantasy Flight model looks great; I'm really impressed with all the vehicles I've seen so far, from Imperial Assault and onto Legion. I never knew the colored panels extended onto the underside of the speeder, its good to know for when I finally get around to painting my Bandai kit.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot mate! Yes.. I scrutinised the Battle of Hoth during my research and I'm glad I did because I had never noticed the markings on the underside before (not that anyone can really see them, but I do like to be thorough!) :)

[@Paint_to_play]

These tutorials are always so fantastic! I've learned a ton over the years I've watched you. Learning more on these vehicles has been great.

[@Sorastro]

Thank you very much! The Legion vehicles have been so much fun to work on :)

[@adammeney8841]

Absolutely fantastic. I though you have been going overboard with the weathering at one point but when you see the finished effect it is quite stunning.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks man! It's a delicate balance to strike for sure, but after the restraint I showed with the AT-ST I really enjoyed cutting loose a bit with this one :)

[@brianroe1474]

Brilliant work! I find your videos to a great way to meditate and calm down. Thanks for creating them.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot Brian! I'm happy to hear that :

[@Dagiantkilla]

Awesome job as always. Love this. The weathering is spot on. Can't say enough about how this looks. WOW!

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot! I did push the weathering pretty far with this one :)

[@RobertSE6]

Another great video! Found the 'windows' section particularly helpful.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks Robert! I tried a range of ideas out for the windows so I'm glad you like what I came up with :)

[@Three_Dog_Gaming]

I'm slightly red/green deficient when it comes to color vision, but that orange you mixed for the first speeder... I find it very pleasing to look at. Maybe because it's so bright, but still. I find it satisfying along with the rest of your work!

[@Sorastro]

Thanks so much! I also like that orange :)

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot Ben! I’m currently working on the General Veers episode :)

[@kelvingriffiths6017]

Hi sorastro. Ive been using your epic videos as a guide to my legion minis and so far they look fantastic. I really feel like my painting (which was already pretty good) has hit a new level. Thanks for the vids, but gotta ask are you planning on doing a tutorial on General Veers and other releases? Also would love to see a few more guides for runewars such as the latari and uthuk factions. Keep up the excellent work brother

[@Sorastro]

Hi Kelvin! Thanks for the kind words! I'm really glad that your Legion minis are turning out well :) Yes, I will be producing many more videos for Legion - in fact I finished the Veers video over two weeks ago, but there is an official approval process they have to go through (for licencing reasons) before I can release them, and this can take some time (especially when LFL are busy with the release of a new movie!) So fear not - there will be more coming soon.. :)

[@MrCrimsonshadow]

Was wondering how you were gonna do your windows, excellent job as always. Cheers

[@Sorastro]

Thank you! I tried a range of approaches for the windows.. I'm glad you like them :)

[@gstealer11]

[@NecroMancer84]

Great work! I just don't have any Star Wars games and no sci-fi minis so I have really only checked out the last few seconds of all the most recent videos. Like I said great work but feel like this has become a how-to paint Star Wars channel.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks Chris! I have been covering lots of Star Wars lately because Legion is the game I've been waiting for since I was a kid, and I make no apology for that :) (You might be pleased to know that I've finished the next Blood Rage episode however, which is currently on Patreon early access.) :)

[@NecroMancer84]

Sorastro's Painting that's awesome! After reading my comment I think my comment may have come across a kind of rude and that wasn't my intention.

Hello. I know this is an old video. Real cool paint job with the speeders. Would be really neat if they actually made correct size at-at model to go with these games. I'm sure it would be expensive, but would be nice to see a paint tutorial for that.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot Richard! Wow yes - a full-sized AT-AT would be incredible :)

[@dariongray519]

Hey Sorastro, I just bought that new Rising Sun board game and it has a ton of really cool Japanese themed minis and there aren't a lot of painting tutorials for Rising Sun so I thought it would be awesome if you did a Rising Sun Painting Guide, just a suggestion but it'll really help me and a lot of other people out.

[@johnnycooper7019]

Dear Sorastro, Fantastic! You make it look so easy. One question was that a normal bath sponge ripped up to create your chipping effect? Kind Regards Johnny

[@Sorastro]

Hi Johnny! I bought the sponges from a local art shop, (something like this: amzn.to/2Jq8nQI) but you can use any old sponge really, provided you're happy with the fineness of the textures it produces :)

[@andrewspoelstra87]

Are you going to make a video for the other legion characters (Veers, Leia, snowtroopers, fleet troopers)

[@Sorastro]

Hi Andrew! Yes - I actually finished the Veers episode over two weeks ago, but the approval process sometimes takes a while.. :)

[@ere15xkmc74]

I will propably paint my t 47 in sandspeeder design. Also do you have any tips of how to make good shadow paint/water and how to not make lighting look like whote stripe? Also great painting, i love your sponge method to make scratches on red stripes

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot! I think just thinning your paints appropriately, and gradually lightening each layer of highlight would probably help :)

[@Critical677]

Hey I really like your videos and I learn much from it. l‘m trying to paint the airspeeder and the At-St like in your videos. But I would wish that you comment more on some of the technics you are using. For example for the weathering stage you could describe how thin the paint should be or sometimes the camera could be closer (like when you are applying thypus corrosion to the guns of the airspeeder). Just seeing you do it is cool but it is sometimes difficult to get the color just like you did it. For example like the shading on the back. I tried „liberal“ amounts of nuln oil, and my speeder looks a lot darker than yours. Or the scratches on the At-St...should the black line be thinner than the white part? Also on some other vehicle I would like to see a red engine glow. Thank you for all the hard work you are doing!

[@Sorastro]

Hi Philip! Thank you so much for the kind comment and useful feedback! It's always a bit tricky to judge how much detail to pack into the videos whilst keeping the format reasonably concise, but I truly value your suggestions :D

[@Critical677]

Sorastro's Painting thank you! Duncan from warhammer tv is very good at summarising such infos in his videos. But you are definitly better at painting. I find it so amazing, how you know what colors to mix to get the exact right tone. Yeah you have to consider so much for making these videos, it is very impressiv!

[@thedarkknight803able]

[@derwolvi]

Nice work! Have you ever done a Muzzle burn in one of your Painting Guides (or want to do it in a future guide)? I want to paint the end of the T-47 guns being colored by the intense heat of the weapon and have no idea how to do it good :D

[@Sorastro]

Hi derwolvi! Hmm you mean so they're kind of glowing hot? That's a nice idea.. leave it will me and I'll have a go in a future video :)

[@EivindPT]

Great video as always. Enjou watching them and picking up tips all the time. What is roughly the ratio for the Dark Prussian Blue and Flat Blue?

[@Sorastro]

Thanks Eivind! The ration was roughly 50:50 :)

[@edwardclark2620]

Nice base colour you're building up to there. I've been trying this with the exact same paints, and it somehow keeps ending up with a more greenish grey hue...

[@Sorastro]

Thanks Edward! Hmm I do find that the precise tone of the Vallejo paints can vary slightly from batch to batch (frustratingly). You could try mixing in just a tiny amount of pink-ish skin tone to counteract the green tint perhaps... :)

[@edwardclark2620]

@@Sorastro Hi, thanks for the tip. Never even realised there could be variation in the batch, nice to know it may not be me after all!

[@jonathanfreeman5894]

Another amazing tutorial, may I ask how you decide on the colours to use. Do you try colour schemes out on a vehicle or figure before making the video? I have to use a magnifying glass to paint with do you have any suggestions as to what is the best type to use?

[@Sorastro]

Thanks Jonathan! Yes, I always try colours and techniques out on other models first to arrive at my final approach. Regarding magnifying glasses, I'm afraid I've never owned one so I can't really advise. Sorry! :)

Hi there! I've done a colour match for the Citadel line which you can find in the video description but haven't matched to Vallejo yet. You can pretty much use any red/orange brown tones you like though, and I think Vallejo also do a rust paint of their own but I haven't tried it yet.. :)

You. Are. Awesome. Truly. Now I want to buy an other speeder and paint it lighter (My current one is pretty dark blue/Urban)

[@GiftofChaosStudio]

Quick question. I use Tallarn Flesh which was an older GW paint, but I can't figure out what to mix with it to lighten it without causing "ghosting". I haven't painted minis in over 5 years so my lighter flesh tones are dried up. Any idea what to mix? Also, really cool to see this painted by brush. I'm using my airbrush for the larger vehicles and having great fun. Mini painting has sparked again!

[@Sorastro]

Hi there! Hmm I remember Tallarn Flesh but don't think I have it any more. You could try lightening it with a pale cream colour like Screaming Skull perhaps..? :)

You should add how long all of this took you (not putting the vid together but to paint all these) in the description or at the end of the video

Dear Sorastro, Yet another masterpiece! Just catching up on my admin, as I have been overseas for awhile. Just wondering which superglue you normally use? Kind Regards Johnny

Hi Johnny! Welcome home! Regarding super glue, honestly I don't have a regular "go-to" and haven't really found much of a difference between those that I have used. However I am currently using one by "Gorilla" which has both "Brush & Nozzle" applicator which I really like. :)

[@johnnycooper7019]

Hiya Sorastro, Many thanks, any advice by you is always taken on board . I have also checked out Rosemary & Co brushes (I think I might have to take a second mortgage out) Could you possibly suggest any 'cheaper' alternatives. I'm glad to be home, but Er' Indoors keeps asking me to do something called 'housework' If she reads this please visit me in hospital..LoL (I hope!)

[@Sorastro]

Ha ha - hi Johnny! I'm afraid it's been so many years since I've used any other make of brush I'm afraid I can't really recommend any alternative, except to say that if it's for dry brushing, then the Rosemary and Co Series 768 flat brushes are a lot cheaper that the Series 56 and will still do the job nicely: www.rosemaryandco.com/acrylic-brushes/red-sable-blend-acrylic/flat-brights-sable-mixture?filter_name=%20Series%20768 :)

[@DavidSmith-vw5eg]

Do you thin out your typhus corrosion?

[@Sorastro]

Hi David! I like to use it with varying consistencies, so might use it neat for areas where I want a heavy build up of grunge, or I might thin it right down to create more subtle shifts in tone, and everything in-between :)

[@DavidSmith-vw5eg]

Sorastro's Painting cool thank you for the info.

[@DavidSmith-vw5eg]

Sorastro's Painting one more question if you don’t mind. I used a spray can primer and the next day it has a cracking effect going on. Should I sand it? Or somehow try to remove it?

[@Sorastro]

Hi David! I've never had that happen before, but if the cracking is quite localised I think I'd be tempted to try sanding it down; even if you end up with some small patches of exposed plastic, you should be able to paint over it with your base colour :)

Sorastro's Painting ok that’s what I was thinking but wasn’t completely sure. I was able to find all those citadel paints and what not you used here in the states. Except the primer. I used a krylon primer for plastics and kinda freaked out afterwards. Finer than 200 grit?

Hi Sorastro, would you consider doing in the future the minis of World of Smog Rise of Moloch ? I believe they are worth your time, check them out !

Ok, now *this* is very confusing. You've said in the video that you wanted to create a movie like look. I have the Star Wars Chronicles book and looked up the T-47 reference pictures in it. Those are photos of the set pieces and used models and the orange parts are all grey. My first thought was "WTF?" but then I re-watched the battle on Hoth scene and every other Speeder is orange/red... only Lukes speeder is grey. Well, how about that XD After all these years I find out that Lukes speeder is grey because of a plastic toy I painted ;) Thought you'd like that information. PS: Still hate you, but not as much anymore ;)
