DON'T Recreate Warhammer Box Art, Unless You Can Handle These 5 Steps!

[@Smelly13]

Researched the rimming together with my mother, father, brother, wife and daughter - made a whole power point presentation about it, going through all the steps; making sure they circle the base with just enough pressure. After that we practiced together. We are now experts.

[@klug5916]

As alsways, I very much enjoy your self-sarcasm. It renders the video enjoyable and also brings some "veracity". Too much time, I see videos were everything seems flawless and easy. I get the fact that the more proeficient a painter is, the less mistakes he can do, but insisting on the time passed on one single model and not being ashamed to explain that it's difficult is something that I always value. Excellent result anyway

[@Schneedrache06]

Outstanding paint job as usual Zumi! Thanks for the rimming advice, gonna research it with some friends and family now.

[@gdonaldson26]

The technique can also be used to get the last drops out of the paint pot. Very helpful 👍

[@dezzyschannel3078]

Imagine doing sub assembly to recreate box art and not because your hands shake while painting, so you sub assemble so you make smaller mistakes on a smaller area while painting.

[@UnyieldingRylanor]

I honestly never thought of that. I usually hate sub-assemblies but my shakes are getting worse

[@apkeggs7401]

I just naturally have the shakes so sub assembly with the models push fitting should at least be more common

i've never seen someone who does shading before a base color! This is the opposite of what I've see everyone else do. This is so helpful. If I ever get his talented I'll be sure to try this method

Excellent model you should be very proud. Particularly helpful content in regards to painting the glass on the canister at 15:40 Thanks for the great video as always

[@richkibble9688]

This is exactly why I love push fit. So much easier to do sub assembly. Usually just leaving off a part or two is all you need.

[@lostsanityreturned]

Paynes grey is the blueish grey paint I use for a lot of shading, including as a light glaze for whites.

[@B1ackSwordVids]

Ahhh thanks Zumikito! Going to grab that AK interactive White to edge highlight now! Thank you!

Can you make a video on how to clean and generally treat our brasses?

[@SwopetheDope]

I agree, black is the best base coat for metallic

[@pazuzu_666]

I've mixed Retributor Armour with Vallejo metal colour gold for a while now. Not because one is too thick or thin, but Vallejo is a very cold gold, and GW's is a very warm gold. I personally prefer a more neutral gold where I can adjust with inks/contrast paints as needed. Mixing them is a great base. Perhaps the consistency is better too but I never realized it!

[@bobongler]

Nice video! Painting a white apothecary is no easy task and your final result looks stellar. Thank you for your efforts in sharing the process.

Add gloss medium when panel lining / recess shading, makes a heap of difference

[@Pikilloification]

Or use oil paints

[@Ramborg3]

Very nice work and you are right about AK paints, they are great!

[@jorey4565]

Oil washes my friend ,and zero problem with bad over paint on white !

[@jmo8391]

I have spent hours searching for rimming videos. Can't seem to find any related to base painting techniques. Will try with multiple search engines.

[@patryk9354]

When it comes to metal color from vallejo, the best way of working with them is leaving them on a normal palette for about 30-45 seconds, and it works great.

[@GoufinAround_]

I like to use the box art as a color guide more than anything. I'm not a huge fan of the eavy metal style and I'm very much a beginner as well

[@gomezzara_creative]

I give 10 of 10 Sniffs to this video. Marvelous video as always my friend!

[@xommul79]

In the shading step could I gloss varnish the model and use oil wash? That would then be easier to tidy up and flow into the recesses better.

[@Gorbachoph]

Loved the video, looking forward to the next one!

[@tommcfly2731]

Incredible, thanks a lot.

[@jackmcewan3070]

Fantastic video as always! I wish you also had a website or something to track your preferred paints for various situations. Like what specific brands/paints you prefer for metallics, including highlight and shading; or what brand/paint you use for white edge highlighting, etc. Super useful stuff in the video, but it could be a year from now when I’m wanting to rediscover what paint to use for white or metallics, but it would be hard to find which video and what part it’s covered in. Or if you’ve found a better solution since the video.

[@Zumikito]

Thank you! I was trying to set up a website for a little bit in the past, but I can't seem to prioritize it at any given time. However, I really hope that I am able to set it up properly this year!

[@Urdead2700]

​@Zumikito do you do commission paint work ? I was wondering if you would paint some of my models

[@docwex]

Great video! Thanks! Question: Ok, so you have the box art and import the picture to photshop. When you sample a color from the photo with the eyedropper (3:30), you then eyeball it to choose a matching paint color, or is there another tech secret to getting a better color match?!

[@denisl8899]

Keep up the good work.

[@Cliffjumper24]

I painted this model a couple of weeks ago and largely followed the same steps you did. My marines are Imperial Fists, and rather than orange, I use Rakarth Flesh for chest eagles, and 'Festering Blue' (an old GW paint from when I started in 1996, still available from Coat d'Arms) for the fabric. Painting white is a challenge, exactly like you said in this video... any small mistakes (eg black behind the knees, etc) means a lot of wated time repairing the error. Also, getting a visible highlight is a challenge too. With highlighting in mind, I used Vallejo's Model Colour 004 'Off White'... which is an ever-so-slightly creamy white. My one and only criticism for your model is an error I see even on verteran painters such as the Eavy Metal team. When highlighting reds... don't use 'orange'. Take a look at a red car, or a fire extinguisher and you don't see orange. It all comes down to colour theory, and if you open up MS Paint, or graphics software, and look at the slider to darken or brighten that colour... you'll see it darkens to black, and lightens to white. Here's the magic sentence... You're not changing the 'colour'... you're changing the 'light intensity'. If you add a pale neutral grey (made only from black and white) to the red paint, it will 'desaturate' the colour becoming a pinkish hue while still remaining a shade of red. Give it a try and see what you think!

[@Zumikito]

Perhaps it wasn't meant that way, but your comment seems to be lecturing me on stuff I already know and it seems just rude to leave a criticism like that, especially since I mentioned I was copying the Eavy Metal paintjob, I wasn't trying to paint "correctly"

[@Cliffjumper24]

@@Zumikito My apologies... I was giving you something to consider, rather than abject criticism. This was the first video I'd seen of yours, and I watched another four after (and subscribed). The Eavy Metal team do the same thing, highlighting reds with orange, especially on their Eldar Sam Hann themes box art. The difficulty I see with 40k/Sigmar painters, is GW guides you down a "This is how you paint ourmodels... and if you don't follow our way, you're doing it wrong!" trail, and people blindly follow the crowd singing the same song. Once more I'm sorry I gave you the wrong perception... I truly meant no harm. I hope you'll forgive me for that?

[@Zumikito]

Ye, I agree with you. Eavy Metal style is a very stylized approach to painting so it looks good on boxes, magazines etc. and it doesn't necessarily reflect credible results - it's a good exercise, but probably not something to see as a golden standard of painting (which some people do consider though). No worries, I do realize you meant no harm.

[@Cliffjumper24]

@@Zumikito I have three modelling hobbies... model railways, 40k and model aircraft, and I've found all of them are rather 'insular' hobbies... with "This is what tools, paints and materials you use. With model railways, there is no highlighting, and enamel paints are still the standard issue! The trains are highly detailed, but the people for the trains are always dreadfully painted, with flat skin and clothing, with no shading or highlighting at all! But the scenery is excellent! Aircraft modelling taught me colour theory. But with aircraft... it's not like railways or wargaming, where you 'play' with the models. Aircraft are something to buld and paint before going on a shelf and moving to the next model. GW modelling is an interesting thing. I enjoy the modelling and painting, and then get to play with my models... but as I said, GW is an insular hobby with a theme of "You do it OUR way, or you're not doing it right!" In terms of the models, the troops are brilliant, but when it comes to vehicles, they are really basic kits. If I were to buy a Rhino, or a Valkyrie, it has 1mm panel lines. The Rhino is roughly 1/55th scale (Primaris marines are about 1/65th)... so there's that inconsistancy... ...but unlike model railways where there are four Class 37's to choose from, or aircraft modelling where there's a dozen F-16 manufacturers, each competing with each other for realism... so an F-16 could have a 0.25mm crack for a panel line and tiny parts in cockpits, etc. But because GW has no rival competition providing another Rhino with better detail and thin panel lines... they still pump out vehicles with chunky details and panel lines the scale equivalent of a 55mm chasm! It's the one thing I think GW could do with improving with their models. And it's not as if they can't do it. Look at the panel lines on the back of your space marine's legs. Even old models like the Scouts Marine Scouts... you can see the curvature of their eyeballs!! If they can produce that, Sorry for the big rant. I do that sometimes. One of the best thing about modelling, is how social a community it can be... especially forums, Discord/Instagram, and youtube. I enjoy seeing a channel like yours which offers new ideas and challenge modellers/painter to push the boundries and become better modellers/painters. So keep doing what you're doing!! :^)

I jsut got out of hospital after a month due to infected lungs and my hands has been shaking ever since, I miss my hobby of painting warhammer figurines. Got any tips to help my hands shake less when I try to paint precisely?

[@Pieternel2002]

I myself suffer from shaking hands and using a paint handle really helps me. Also, I often put both my elbows on the desk when painting precise details like eyes.

[@jorgemontero6384]

The best I have on this is look for a video by Jose David on edge highlighting. He goes through hand techniques, self bracing and brush form. It's fun to see how even a Golden Demon winner will get very iffy details when painting in the air, and how changes in hand positions, bracing the wrists, and prepping the paint for small detail changes his accuracy so much. He doesn't have Zumikito's good english though, so instead you get an Andalusian accent, while the English comes with subtitiles.

[@jesperrehmeiersrensen5774]

I learned a lot about rimming. Thank you. Off topic, did you only paint one layer of silver? I'm gonna try the same mix with the same colours.

[@Zumikito]

yea, pretty much all of it was one layer - basecoat, shading with black and edges with almost pure steel

[@marklucachev6695]

Hey Zumikito, what do you typically do with 'connector' parts, that aren't a part of the model but are just there for mould purposes? For instance, if a character has a skirt, usually the bottom will have an 'edge' of the skirt, but then the middle will be filled-in. I always debate whether to paint the 'filling' black or the same color as the surrounding piece, but it gets even more difficult when the 'filler' piece is connected to several different color parts!

[@qzxerty]
