[@neilbrown2451]

Thanks for watching?!? Are you mad?! Thanks for spending time to make this amazing video. First thing I thought when I watched it was it feels like the mini is moving. Beautiful work. Till next time!

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot Neil! I'm glad you got that sense of movement I was after :)

[@BadgerLovingFluffster]

Amazing work as always, Mark. Almost entirely OSL and NMM, with a smattering of realistic leather. Also love the attention to detail on the base too. Really impressed with this.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks so much buddy! I really appreciate that :)

[@balrog9360]

Amazing work, even after watching so many of your videos! Your techniques and advice have helped me achieve some real progress in my own custom figures painting and I know I'm going to keep learning more and more from watching your inspiring videos. Keep up the incredible work!

[@Sorastro]

Thanks so much! That means a lot to me 😀

[@ryankeith4322]

Ahhhh! I’ve been waiting for this one.

[@MrMagicchrisi]

A fantastic video! It is amazing how many shades of black are possible and how dynamic a model can look. Great achievement!

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot my friend! I'm glad you liked it 😁

"CreAkIng at the DoOr!" Love Nicolas Cage and great job mate.

[@Sorastro]

[@simonedesanctis3887]

Your videos are amazing, but those on Marvel Crisis Protocol are really something else. Every single one is like a masterclass on miniature painting, I'm learning so much from you thanks for the amazing work you do

[@Sorastro]

Thanks so much Simone! I'm enjoying pushing myself with these Crisis Protocol minis for sure :)

[@mikey_vengenz]

Waking up and seeing a Sorastro MCP video is like a treat!

[@Sorastro]

Aww thanks man :)

@@Sorastro any time! You're marvel mini videos have inspired me to push my painting to that level.

[@Sorastro]

That's awesome, and makes me happy to hear 😀

[@leonosborne3461]

Looks amazing. I haven't painted anything this year. But Ghost Rider is sitting in my paint area right now, so may have to give it a crack tonight. I love how you painted him, it feels like everything about this was subtle but leads to it really standing out.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot Leon! I really appreciate that compliment :)

[@warmasterraven1447]

Ooooh very well done on the flames! Can't wait to see what tutorial comes next 😁

Thanks a lot Matthew! I really love working on the MCP minis, and I'm glad you're enjoying the series :)

[@13Robzilla]

I would like to do him with the blue flame but would need to change the jacket and bike colors to match/offset the blue flame. Great job the "litter" really makes it a snapshot instead of a figure. Please stay safe.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks mate! I think blue flames could look awesome. I might humbly suggest looking at my Red Skull PDF; although I went a little over the top with the OSL, it might give you some ideas (using warmer tones for the "black" leather etc: sorastro.com/2020/07/02/red-skull-pdf-painting-guide/ :)

[@srsgoblin]

How has your 2021 been going, Mr Sorastro? Haven't seen a whole lot of uploads from you, though maybe that's my algorithm being broken because I am subbed and it seems you're still on the bi-weekly schedule. They're always tremendous works and I feel like I learn a lot every time!

[@Sorastro]

Hey Casey - thanks a lot! I've been pretty busy - not just with the videos, but the PDF guides too (for my patrons, and some for the website which are free for everyone: sorastro.com/). Also, some videos have to go in a "licensing queue" before I can release them, so things might seem quiet even though I'm working hard! (I've actually got the next Legion video ready to release tomorrow...) :)

[@blankierex9952]

It looks so cool I think that you did a Great job on this ghost rider is one of my favorite marvel characters

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot mate! :)

[@blankierex9952]

You are welcome

[@SamuraiSeanM]

I may be biased as Ghost Rider is my favorite character ... but this maybe my favorite of your videos. Close to Captain America. I love what you do with metal, reflections, lighting, etc. Only wish I could have you teach a in person class!

[@Sorastro]

Thanks so much Sean! I really pushed myself with this one (as with most to be honest) - so I'm really glad you liked it :)

This one is really amazg because it s a really not easy mini. Cause of dark colours leather fire relections it s hard to have a good result . i justed finished my marvel united core box i really liked to show you the result with your help with your videos

cool!

[@vikinggamerdad742]

Great video. I'm working on him now. What do you do to fill in the seems of the model? Any recommendations for citadel paints?

[@Sorastro]

Thank you sir! If the seems are quite small then I usually just use some brush-on matte varnish by Vallejo. :)

[@AnythingButOnes]

Love your videos!!

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot! :)

[@GreenDestruction]

fantastic turtorial

[@Sorastro]

Thank you kindly! 😀

[@nictay6180]

I would REALLY like to see how you would paint MODOK. Whether you would use a non metallic metal or a metallic metal. More gold, or more original yellow. 😁

[@Sorastro]

Thanks Nic! I'm looking forward to painting MODOK too 😀

[@CloudGraywordsVII]

Amazing work!

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot Julio! :)

[@CloudGraywordsVII]

@@Sorastro i love the base man, those newspaper details really gave sensation of movement into the figure. i kinda exagerated the reflections on mine a lot more but thats more of my preference than anything else.

[@Cachai_]

First video of yours I’ve seen and it’s great. Q: what brush are you using? The point and snap on it looks amazing!

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot! I'm using a size 2 Series 8 brush by Rosemary & Co (there should be a link in the video description) :)

[@simpsonorthodontics1119]

Great work as always! Not trying to hijack the comments, but any estimate on how long til Lando video released? Just trying to decide if I want to wait on video or wing it? Thanks!

[@Sorastro]

Thanks Rich! I just heard the Lando video passed licensing approval, so I'll probably release it tomorrow :)

[@RealJotaEme]

Hey Sorastro, have you tried the new(ish) AK Interactive 3rd Generation paints?

[@Sorastro]

Hi Jose! No, I haven't tried them yet. Am curious though.. :)

I knew that'd be epic and you NAILED it !! 🔥 👏

[@Sorastro]

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

[@peinoftheakatsukiXx]

Stuck in the middle of a big move across the country, so I can't paint my minis. But these give me life.

[@Sorastro]

Doh! Good luck with the move :)

[@nictay6180]

Just wondering, I recently got a ghost rider, but his chain hangs very low and close to his face. Did you have the same issue? Or if not, could you possibly reccomend a fix to help me put it into a higher position?

[@Sorastro]

Hey Nic! Hmm I didn't have that issue myself, and I'm not sure if there an easy fix. You could perhaps reglue the hand holding it, but angle things to your liking a bit..? 🙂

[@AlkanDW]

Nice tip with newspaper ^_^ like it

[@Sorastro]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked that idea 😀

[@joseluizblanco9534]

[@geteavnroc2250]

How long did this mini take you to paint, excluding the video editing?

[@Sorastro]

Hi Geteav! I honestly can't remember. but I certainly took my time with him :)

[@DuoXCity]

33:48 And suddenly, the bottom of the wheel is painted! I must have missed something cause I didn't see him do that

[@Sorastro]

Lol Justin! You feel you've missed out by not seeing me paint a part of the model that isn't visible once the figure is glued down? 😄

[@johnnycooper7019]

Dear Sorastro, Outstanding workmanship! Without a doubt my favourite Marvel Character Johnny Blaze. Perhaps it has something to do with the name? Ghost Rider's chain would have driven me to distraction, whilst trying to paint the model! I think on pay day I'll order the character! Kind Regards Johnny

[@Sorastro]

Thanks so much Johnny! I hope you and yours are all keeping well :)

[@johnnycooper7019]

@@Sorastro Yes, we are all keeping well thank you. I do hope that you and your Family are keeping well also?

[@Sorastro]

Great! Yes we're OK thanks; the kids being back in school makes life a bit easier..! :)

[@DarthP00P00]

I wish they designed the model with both tires engulfed in flame entirely. Its a classic look. It looks odd just having flames moulded onto certain areas and not others, the transition from rubber to fire is too stark for me. Nothing against your paint job, its fire.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks man 😁

@@Sorastro always

[@iangiovanni6555]

the only place u screwed up was : ghost rider's bike's tires are made of flames . not rubber thats on fire...

[@Sorastro]

Hi! That wasn't a mistake but a deliberate choice, inspired by the way the bike appears in some of the comics, and also the suggestion of the sculpt itself. But you could of course paint the tyres yellow/orange if you like. 🙂

[@CamilleDeveveraux]

If only (is this still a game?) this thing was less expensive

[@Sorastro]

Hey! Yes, Marvel: Crisis Protocol hasn't stopped being a game :)

Do you mean a video on how I made the scenery?

[@DFloyd84]

You misspoke when you described painting the flames. You said the white would go where the fire is "cooler" when you meant to say "hotter."

[@Sorastro]

Hi Derek! I really didn't. The base of a flame is the coolest (it's where the least combustion occurs), and the hottest part is nearer the tips. 🙂

[@terrybartron915]

wow motion effect on the wheels is great, shame there is no alternative head sculpt of Nicolas Cage to get Sorastro treatment!
