Sorry for the delay. I had an audio issue, so I had to re upload the video.

That,s okay I know you always reply to any of my questions and i don,t mind waiting for your answer

[@RickSanchez-1943]

In the 80's Japanese Gundam modelers used to use the chalk technique. They apply the chalk with one brush and use another brush, to brush and move it around the area they want.

[@cherryblossoms4163]

Hi! I really love your paint work! I think you are the best I’ve seen. I was wondering, do you ever do painted print models for sale? I wanted to request if you could do a 14 inch tall Judy Alvarez from Cyberpunk 2077 figure. She’s a very loved video game character by many people. It seems that no one yet has ever done or made a Judy Alvarez figure, so you might be the 1st one on youtube. She has lots of tattoos, so I believe those can be done with water-transfer method. I would be interested in buying a Judy Alvarez figure from you, if that’s ok with you. I’m just getting interested in learning how to do airbrush painting & your videos really inspire me & really make me want to learn. Your videos are awesome!

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Thank you soooo much for those kind words. That means the world to me to hear that. Right now, I don't do any commission work. As far as that character, I'd be interested to see if there's a file available to print and paint. If I found a good one, then I'm definitely open to that one! I'll keep my eyes open for a model of her.

[@JohnVanderbeck]

Envy your talent so much. I wish I could do this with my prints (which are all just left grey) but my hands just shake too much and I can't paint in the lines :)

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Have you tried using some type of optics? It helps me a lot and keeps my hands from shaking.

Great video. I watched my wife apply make up, the only thing I learnt was how she'd look as a s*x doll when she applied mascara!!! Lol. I always learn something here.

@@TheCreativeCollector most welcome great stuff mate

[@cesarrodriguez8331]

So cool man!!! How do you seal the model before you use the pastel chalk??

[@TheCreativeCollector]

I just use a flat clear coat before and after from a rattle can.

[@jayers79]

Man I have the hardest time painting straight clean lines!

[@TheCreativeCollector]

It takes a lot of practice but you can do it!

[@jarellano1014]

Amazing paint job, imo not a fan purple chest piece

[@oldmanmaye8490]

Is it cheating if I have the same model and do exactly what you do? Lol It still comes out much different, different colors, washes.... however out of all the channels on KZbin, I find you have the best touch of instructing. I might have even said this before. The characters you paint and collect are right down my alley. Just watched your Wolverine museum piece and it's so badass!

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Thanks 😊 I appreciate that 🙏

[@mamedovramil2099]

Thanks for this video. Do you apply a coat before washes?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

You mean do I seal it before washes? Yes I do.

[@TheSpider-ManSanctuary]

How do you get your models to look so good. Can’t get mine to come out like that

[@TheCreativeCollector]

It's all about the prep work before paint. Just take your time. Make sure to patch up gaps and seams. Sand where you need to and remove all dust. When you hand brush, do it in layers so you don't have streaks. Use a good sealer in the end.

[@Azurawulf]

Another great video ! I'm realizing that I am doing everything wrong and you are helping out a ton. Can you recommend a set to get for the air brush? I'm looking and I have no knowledge of it I just bought army painter mega set because thought my paint was bad but seeing now that air brush and coming in with detail with paint is what most do for clean paint Jobs all your info helps if you've already mention I'm a video or anything just refer me to that if easier I'm bout to buy a air brush too but want to make sure I get what is right and need for these projects

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Army Painter is a good brand to use. Just thin it down good for the airbrush. I use Vallejo but I'm getting ready to try AP myself

[@Azurawulf]

@The Creative Collector is Vallejo paint brand or air brush ? Trying to see what app need for an air brush o see they have different packages but idk whats what in those packages besides the extra paint in some

[@александрсамойлов-ж3ч]

Please, if you have such an opportunity, make a video about Kitana, Milena or Jade, very beautiful characters from the MK universe, it will be very pleasant and interesting to watch your cool work. Thank you in advance

[@TheCreativeCollector]

I'm already looking into it. I got an artist who does some amazing MK stuff. Stay tuned!

[@darrellhood5430]

Awesome video very helpful....what kind of sticks do u use to hold small parts i cant find anything like those

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Thanks! Actually I use kabob skewers and put some alligator clips on the ends.

[@thedude333]

another great job with the vid and model, as always :) a question, if you were to use the airbrush for the shading step, what type of colors would you use instead of the pastels ?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Thanks. I probably would have used a lighter blue for the suit to highlight certain areas, and maybe a little black like I used the pastels

[@alanlarman7049]

Henry, maybe a silly question here but in general when you do washes do you use a paper towel like you did with the face and get off as much as you can eg on the: Base/gun metal parts?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

No for those parts I just let it dry then maybe drybrush over it.

[@3Dprintingtimelapse-jp2mx]

don't know if you covered this in another video. What type of printers do you use?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

I try to disclose what I use in the videos but the main ones I use is the Uniformation GKTwo, Linant Deck and Phrozen Sonic Mega 8K.

[@JohnSmith-rt5yq]

Where do you get those sticks you use to hold the parts while you paint??

I got them from hobby lobby but you can use skewers.

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Thank you. I mix up my own color for skin.

For just the eyes and lips, no. It's kinda thin straight out of the bottle

Hi which resin and printer is your go to for your figures?

I have 15 different printers and I mainly use Sunlu resin.

[@danielasalazarsilva]

Is there too much difference between Vallejos game and model paints? If so, to paint models and I only have game paint, will it look ok?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

To me there's not much difference except I think the game paint goes on smoother and I think its supposed to be stronger.

[@sladewilson2838]

what mix of paint did you use for highlights thanks

[@TheCreativeCollector]

I just used a lighter tint of that color by adding a little white to it.

[@andredupont7598]

Love all the painting process, its so satisfying. I always wondered, how many bottles of resin does it take to print those 1/6 sculpts you uploaded from Wicked and B3Dserk? and 0.5kg or 1kg per bottle?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

It depends. I hollow all of my models so some don't take as much as others. The basic ones take around a 1500 to 2000 grams most of the time. Sometimes not even that much.

[@andredupont7598]

@@TheCreativeCollector Nice tip! Have you done a video "how to hollow" or are you planning to, chief 😅?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

I haven't done a video for that yet. I'm thinking about making one on supports since I get asked about that a lot. If I do, hollowing will be part of that process.
