I’m not sure exactly who you are talking about, but generally speaking I think some of the larger channels commit to posting at regular intervals for algorithmic purposes and channel growth. I admire this consistency immensely, but also sympathize with them because for me, that would likely cause issues with burnout and quality control. I also struggle to do certain things that may seem simple to others at times. Not every video is going to be a home run, this is true of every content creator on KZbin! I like to judge people by their best work, and the big channels are big for a reason...because they have put out tons of awesome content over the years. I appreciate your comment though and am really glad you have been enjoying my videos!

@EricsHobbyWorkshop5 жыл бұрын
Shane Flickinger the cheap paint i use is pretty thick with a rubbery sort of medium. This allows me to do some impasto-like texture and fill minor gaps if needed with the paint. The hard part about these builds are choices -each decision uses mental energy. Painting everything one colour is basically done on autopilot while watching tv with my wife or something, so it uses almost zero mental energy. On the flip side, I would need to take a rattlecan outside to spray. Long story short, I’m not likely to switch over in the near future! I appreciate the thought though.

I enjoy your videos. A suggestion if I may. Regarding your wash, it may flow better if you add a surfactant, a chemical which reduces surface tension of water, you can buy these, but a drop or two of dish washing up liquid will do the trick. It improves flow and reduces wash clumping and collecting on flat surfaces Regards.

The masking fluid and paint job turned out amazing, and you really kicked it into high gear when you showed the screen glow effect, and the free-hand graffiti was excellent! Some ideas for patron content, set up a gallery or Pinterest of the reference photos you use, maybe a video on how to do the layered graffiti on a miniature scale, or pictures of the specific paints you use, I'd especially like to know that gray-green one! Oh and the new mic sounds great! You are improving so quickly, you'll be at 50k subs in no time.
