This Jewelry Tool Makes Miniature Painting MINDBLOWING!

Cracking work! Ordered a set of the grabber tools. I am a huge believer in sponge painting, the tool should make that even better. Cheers!

I did a similar method during a painting class at a local game store - I painted a space marine in red that I am actually impressed with.

P.s. heres an idea ive found thats excellent for creating great texture and corrosion/rust acumilation. I was a purely military vehicle modler until year or so ago and i had a tin of AK cast steel texture product and its seriously easy to work with,check it out it makes great effects and easy too.

@@mrphucyoo8281 oh I haven’t played with that! Always used the tamiya paste/glue for scale models but that’s a good shout! Typhus corrosion is also good/ texture paints for basing work well too

@MrSneakz i use the valejo putty etc too but i had this stuff from doing tank turrets etc and it sat on the shelf for about 18 months till i started thinking about texture and grime and the like and the lightbulb popped! Its like silicone sealant a bit,you spread it and then sponge or stipple it however you want,also sandable etc, its my secret weapon(well it was!) , but yeah its doing what tamia putty etc does,i find it easier to use as its not as thick and can spread it really thin for tiny effects etc. Now ive finished my AK sales rep spiel ill keep an eye out and probably speak again on next video! Keep it going its good stuff your doing!.

Tried my hand at enamels recently, and what happened is when i applied white spirit, it ate my whole paintjob and even the primer. The acrylic on the model dried overnight, but I didnt really spray the primer properly over the whole model (cos i figured its just a test model) so its possible that the white spirit or the enamels got under the acrylic, scraping it away. Also Ive decided to switch from cottonbuds to those makeup sponges for removing excess grime. What would you recommend, how long should my model dry before applying the enamel? I currently have Revells white spirit but im considering getting a different one. Also did you reapply the highlights with oil paints after the enamel, or did you use acryl? Great paintjob btw, I'll use this for my heavy mechanized infantry as well :)

[@MrSneakz]

@@DinoBProductions I haven’t had an issue with white spirits and enamels over the acryl but could be that you’re being too heavy with the removal? I am waiting on an order of makeup sponges! Might be worth putting a gloss varnish coat in between the acrylics and enamels just in case. I applied the highlights using acrylics after I left the enamels to dry over night- could also use a hair dryer. Glad you like the paint job!
