Workshop Wednesday - Ammunition

[@henshel6461]

That's it. It's official now. Jingles can make even building of box interesting

[@wisehero69]

I think he can even make watching paint dry interesting

[@hvymtal8566]

_He already has to a certain extent_

[@denret]

@@wisehero69 thats what the_chieftain did already.

[@rakaorion]

Gold ammo? Now, where have I heard that term before...

[@ParanoidCarrot]

hey jingles, pro tip for small paint work, use the needles yes but get yourself a small block of Polystyrene and some long leather needles, or syringe heads, other style is having tooth pics that you super glue on to a spot that is easy to clean and then paint last or of possible, hide your crime by doing it in a side of the work that will not be visible after its all assembled. good luck and happy buildin :)

[@Kenoscope]

Happy Birthday Jingles, and twice as many more to come.

[@soffici1]

Is that a curse? Live till he’s 150?

[@battleship6177]

That was yesterday lol

[@kingmobmor7656]

I want to see the directors cut! Four hours of watching and listening to Jingles put together a miniature plastic box with a two part Russian DERP round in. It would be glorious. One more thing. More Warhammer 40K! Please.

[@digitaIgorilla]

Happy Birthday. And well, painting black... Overalls get washed. They also lose their dye, they get stained, and dusty. All these things help with showing detail and of course, dry-brushing dark blue onto a black base has a great effect. Never get disheartened by black. Or white come to that. They're just the same as all the other colours, have confidence!

[@meteic]

One tiny recommendation Jingles, make these workshop Wednesdays longer please :-D I'm sure most of us here just like to listen to you for an hour (not a joke) :-D

[@nl5494]

Be careful what you wish for

[@archeopterix22]

Yep, he can make longer modelling videos. I find watching them and listening to Jingles very relaxing.

[@LunarPogo]

Agreed. His voice alone is soothing. His sense of humor is even better.

[@archeopterix22]

@@LunarPogo He tells some intersting stories, i would watch the paint dry on his models. :)

[@WoutjeNLD]

Jingles, Miniart has a really good line of modelkits, including vehicles, planes and a lot of tanks!

[@sternencolonel7328]

Miniart is specialized in oddball vehicles like "Beutepanzer" soviet tanks in german service for example

[@battleship6177]

Trumpeter, Bandai, and Tamiya are also great

[@capnron65]

They have like 10 versions of the M3 Lee and no other US tanks...wth

[@johnparker1696]

If you want simple and trouble free decal application, use a paint brush to remove small decals from the backing sheet and then use the brush to apply the decal to the part. You will find if you use your hand it usually sticks to your fingers and not the plastic part. Nice job though Jingles really liking this series.

[@jimspicer6863]

Jingles! Top tip: for your brass parts paint them a shiny bright white gold like retributor armour and then shade with Agrax earthshade and highlight with a bright silver like runefang steel.

[@prinzalbatross9526]

Hi Jingles, a bit of advice I've seen for painting scale ship models that might help you out some is to lighten up the colors a bit rather than using the exact shade. This is supposed to provide a scale effect and imitate looking at the subject from a distance. For example, black would be a more mid-grey that would give you more freedom to use light and dark tones to spruce up your models. I think that could help with your issue of dark colors appearing too dark for details. Anyways, fantastic work as always, even if it does seem too good for someone just getting back into the hobby. Cheers!

[@Caelinuk]

Blue tack on a cocktail stick or skewer, are useful to hold stuff to paint

[@scipioafricanus5530]

May calm seas and bright sunshine define the rest of your voyage. Happy Birthday and may there be many more to come!

[@Orca19904]

One solution for painting very small parts is to paint them *before* you remove them from the sprue, then patch up the spot where it was attached after you've cut it off.

[@alexmccallum1996]

Very nice, Im a beginner tank model maker, and these videos are great for helping me pick up skills and ideas.

[@douglascampbell9809]

You really need to watch Plasmo, and Night Shift. I've been building models since I was 5. (I'm 51) I've learned more from them since I started watching them. I had 30 years of following Games Workshop's painting and modeling articles before that. I can't stress enough just how much they can teach you. Also for finishes diorama work check out what model railroaders are doing. Those people are crazy with their detailing work.

[@alexmccallum1996]

@@douglascampbell9809 thanks for the recommendation s, I will look into them! 👍

[@tru1639]

You might also want to check out the tips, tricks and dioramas of the late Sheperd Paine. Back when I was a kid he was considered one of the masters of military models. You can see some of his past work here: sheperdpaine.atspace.com/ sheperdpaine.atspace.com/lee.htm (Shep's example of an M3 Lee) Books by Shep: www.amazon.com/Shep-Paines-Armor-Modeler-Guide/dp/1627003932 www.amazon.com/gp/product/0890245517/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i2

[@nofxaddict6798]

I enjoy doing model tanks ,aircraft,syfi.i kinda suck at painting though,so this series is helping me not suck,well atleast more than i did.great vid jingles,keep em coming 🤘

[@SonsOfLorgar]

Reminds me of painting two of my Forge World Armageddon Pattern Bassilisks and Medusae. I have three of each. I only painted the inside of one of each and glued the rear ramp of the other four shut after painting their insides in bleached bone citadel colour. They have almost the same multi-part interior with only two parts different between the Bassilisk and the Medusa: The main gun and the Sub-floor ammo storage and hydraulics. (B=howitzer M=siege mortar, think 155mm PzHbz2000 and 400mm ww1 Skoda respectively) The floor of the fighting compartment consisted of a rectangular resin cast containing ammo storage and misc exposed hydraulic and electromechanical components, a brass laser etched floor grate that had to be slightly filed to size and was sharp as fuck along the edges before sanding or filing, and a, usually very warped with flash everywhere, resin floor texture frame with all the hinges, lifting handles and obligatory rivets out the waszoo. So first you straighten the resin, then dry fit and file to size, then glue brass grate to floor texture frame and then paint inside the component tray and top of the floor as well as the rest of the fighting compartment, breech assembly and rear ramp, masking the glue facings with stickyputty before assembly. Also, happy birthday Paul! Do something you find worth remembering until your centennial!

[@jamatheo]

Well, Jingles, these large scale fantasy miniatures have boxart usually painted by top of the top, world class professional painters. Don't go "half as good as that" route, there's only frustration to be found there. And it's not even about the talent, it's about the practise. One time I spoke to a painter of that calibre (there was some vodka involved as well). He told a story of how he got good - painting 8-10 hours per day for months. It costed him his then-relationship. Sure, he got to a point of being comissioned by G.R.R. Martin to paint miniatures for him, but it all came with a price, and he was determined to get to that point. I say, paint it so that you like it. Nevermind the boxart.

[@miroslavtordaji1675]

nice work Jingles.....only one small note.....152 mm ammo was a two piece ammo and it was loaded as such......first shell than casing with propellant

[@jimbe01]

Jingles, just name that elf “Rita” and then see what happens.....😀

[@LionofCaliban]

You're not the only one Jingles. Somewhere I have a few models of Sophie, aka the Reaper Mini's succubus mascot. Adventure Sophie to be precise. I need to make sure I still have the model. One day, I'll paint her up. When I'm way more confident and certain of my colours.

[@lloydgarland4667]

Really good, only thing I would have done is get rid of that joint line on the shell, but hey - who knows, maybe there's a casting mark on the real thing! Great video sir, keep it up :)

[@katfezza4570]

Jingles, GW do washes in regular or gloss versions. Might be worth picking up the regular version of Agrax and Nuln for use on areas you don't want to be shiny.

[@none3763]

For holding tiny parts buy some Rodico. It's a bit like blutac but doesn't leave a residue, used by watchmakers.

[@talancarr-altizer5663]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JINGLES!!! 🎂🎂🎂🎈🎈🎈🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁

[@nekonekolen]

love how in the OP card Akizuki looks all princesslike,lol...

[@killer0005_]

Happy birthday Jingles. Hope it was a good one. We all enjoy watching these videos... Maybe extend them to 20-25 mins? Cheers from Australia :)

[@Almightyrastus]

If you are using Citadel shades for the washes then they should come out pretty matt (unless you use the gloss versions of course), just make sure that you shake the ever-living crap out of them. Then shake them again, shake them like the first time you found your mum's underwear catalogue. You want to make sure that you cannot see any solids in the bottom and they should be fine. As for the transfer shinies, just get some of GW's Lahmian medium (again, shake the shite out of it) and paint over with that, it will dull them down perfectly.

[@LunarPogo]

Congrats on level 50 O' Mighty Gnome Overlord. This salt miner hits level 49 on 3-29 :) And also, awesome job on making a box with WoT gold ammo . . . LOL

[@blainefrenette3520]

So now we know what gold Ammunition looks like thanks jingles

[@shrikes45]

Painting black clothing on figures is preferable to white. Shep Paine, god of scale modeling (god rest his soul), in his book "How To Build Dioramas", gave some advice on how to paint white clothing on scale figures: "Don't". LOL! I highly recommend buying the actual book, by the way. It is a fantastic source of information on things that make dioramas look right. Keep building and having fun!

[@Juansolous]

Now you got me interested in buying models now, I want Sherman's and Gundams maybe paint Sherman's in Gundam colors. I love Workshop Wednesdays and I hope you don't lose interest. hope you enjoyed your birthday Jingles.

[@owenmayes2128]

Happy Birthday Jingles. And I'm also blaming you too, I've bought an SE5a (as flown by Major James McCudden VC, I know his grandson, so it'll be a surprise present) and I'm not looking forward to doing the rigging! As a present I give you my reading recommendation, "Flying Fury: Five Years in the Flying Corps" by James McCudden VC. Enjoy... :- )

[@Fr3shrid3r]

buy some flat topcoat and spray it on stuff like the ammo box, so it doesnt look that shiny anymore, also protects the paint and decals

[@sksaddrakk5183]

Just in case you did not know already (and for anyone else who cannot read Russian) the inscription on the stronkest of stronk turrets reads 'Sa Rodinu' which means as much as 'for the Homeland' or propably more fitting 'for the Motherland'

Not sure if you'd be interested, but I would love to see you paint some d&d monsters in the future. A dragon would be the obvious choice, but I think something that has a little more character and memeability would suit you better. Like an owlbear. Or a flail snail XD.

[@thecatwithatophat4069]

Jingles, I'm blaming you for the fact that I just purchased my first model kit. It's the Airfix P-40b so it'll be a challenge but I think I can do if you can assemble a box.

[@patrickdoherty3118]

Many happy returns jingles

[@shogunnate7724]

Another great video! Really enjoying these. As an aside, have you thought of looking into some reverse action tweezers? They are extremely helpful when working with small parts as they hold items without the need to squeeze them. You only squeeze when you want to open them. I believe Testor's makes one. Good sized handle as well. Thank you for the video!

[@shogunnate7724]

P.S.-Happy belated birthday!

[@Zaaphod]

A few comments... clean the seam lines. Like really clean them. When painting stripes, try some masking tapes. It will make your expirience much more enjoyable. But overall, good job. Keep at it!

[@EA-History]

Wow! 20536 people (when posting this) is watching you watching paint dry! :D And I'm still watching after writing this!

Did not know it was your birthday, happy birthday you old gnome

Easiest stuff to apply decals with is microsol and microset.

[@Sir.Craze-]

#ActuallyJingles if your box is six(6) pieces it takes seven(7) pieces to put it together. Your choice of glue or rope xD well, unless you're a Jedi... Or as high a level as Tom Cruise in that one church... XD Thanks for all the great videos, mate! I appreciate every single on.... *Almost very single one!* 🎩👌

Happy Birthday son

[@bazoconnor3196]

good luck with venatrix... i enjoyed it loads but damn , was it fiddly

[@larryfontenot9018]

The olive drab used is much too dark, which is why the lettering of the decal wouldn't show up against it. Russian olive drab is a much lighter shade. An example of it can be seen here: midwestmodelrr.com/product/val70967/ Yes, the trick to contrast is to use a related color but several shades darker. Model kits, being small, need high contrast for their details to be seen at any kind of distance. I'd have painted the box dark brown, drybrushed it in a light tan or sandy wood color, and then washed it in brown to tie the colors together. There's a trick for painting circular or cylindrical objects, especially ones that need stripes. Get a tool that can spin things slowly, like an electric screwdriver. Mount the object on a stick or stiff wire so that's it's squared along the line of axis. Then turn on the device and hold your brush in one place as the object to be painted rotates in contact with the brush. Voila! Straight, even lines produced like a boss. The technique can also be used for base coats of the same objects. Makes painting tires and the rubber on tank bogies easy too. Another old favorite painting trick: Get some small steel ball bearings and drop two or three into your paint bottles. When you shake the bottles to mix the paint, they make the process more efficient.

[@Deliurus]

Happy birthday old dude, even though I am same age as you in May. Enjoy your work, keep it up. LOL maybe Rita should start doing copyright claims every time you mention her name or you treat her with a present or a night out.

[@majorbloodnock4281]

You can make brass colour by adding a little brown to the gold

[@royharmsworth2708]

Very nice although the last shot showing Stalins hammer should have had the shell and case seperate? 2 part ammo?

[@kyostioksanen7155]

tell me if i'm wrong, but i think that soviet 152 mm ammo is separate load. Like 1st you smack shell (the one with pointy head) in and then cartridge that has powder. It's not preassembled..

[@warthog2022]

Next weeks workshop Wednesday is the Cold Dead Hand of Stalin LOL

[@AlphaHorst]

this series needs to be atleast 1444p or even 4k.

[@jaketeppis]

I see a seam on that arty shell. REEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

[@whya2ndaccount]

Its a Frigging box. Also if its two piece ammunition surely that's how its loaded in the Turret, why would you put the two pieces together outside??? In a naval context its the same as having a 16" round and the various bags of cordite lying together outside the gun.

[@Steelmage99]

For anybody making such items from scratch, from plastirod and styrene sheets; As resistors have colour codes, so does ammunition. www.alternatewars.com/BBOW/Markings/US_Ammo_Markings.htm The US uses the NATO standard of marking. A quick Google search can handle the Warsaw Pact markings, if needed.

Here is a tip. Don't paint black, black! Paint Black as very Dark Blue. that way black can be used for shading and midnight blue for highlights.
