Hi Dan, I really like your castle of grayskull video it looked really realistic. Thank you for my shout out, I now have the Vallejo paints for my Salamanders can't wait for your next videos Edward
You are very welcome indeed. I bet your excited to use those new paints. Keep practicing and your painting will continue to improve with every model. Take care my friend and have fun 👍🏻
Thanks again Robert, this one was different and really fun to paint. It’s nice to have a real mixture of paintings and models on the channel and to offer people a really great mixed range of punting styles too.
Thanks a lot braam. It’s been a really fun project. Although it looks really detailed and a bit of a unit to work with it’s been fun trying to make it nice and easy to follow. Even the lighting and osl around the mouth can be achieved and made in such a simple way. I’m glad you liked this one. Take care my friend 👍🏻
Outcomes like this make me want to brush everything. I'm trying to only use an airbrush when I need fine gradients fast or shadows if varying degrees of fineness similarly fast.
Thanks so much. I get what you mean about brush vs airbrush. I find both have their own place and their own very unique style. An airbrush is fantastic for smooth transitions and fast colour blends and using one is an art form all of its own. However brush painting also offers a variety of different textures to create its own story on the minis. As an example brushing stone creates a fantastic organic looking rough highlight. Thank you so much for watching and of course commenting too it really helps the channel to grow and I really appreciate it. Take care my friend.
Thank you for the content and sharing. When painting the Dark Green base coat, any tips/tricks/hints to minimize Brush Strokes? I am brush painting several large surfaces and looking for advice. Cheers.
Thanks for tuning in and watching my friend. To try to limit the amount of brush strokes on the model itself I try to make sure the paint is thinned with water or flow improver. This allows the paint to move more freely and blend into the model. It helps with brush strokes and allows for the paint to dry in a more even and flat style. I hope this helps you out. I use a brush for everything and haven’t yet tried an airbrush so this is the way I personally try to avoid those pesky brush strokes.
Hi mate. I certainly did prime the model. I use “rustoleum” Matt grey primer on most of my models. It’s a happy medium for me where it’s neither too dark or light as a primer. Great idea about using a spray can on the first and it can certainly lower the amount of work load for sure. Although the ak interactive paint that I used is fantastic at coverage even when thinned and does dry down to a great Matt effect. These are all great questions and suggestions. Thank you so much for dropping by and offering a different perspective to this painting video. Take care my friend 👍🏻

@@Bread0fHeaven Me as well, no Airbrush...I like old school. Be well, your time is appreciated.
hey, firstly Did you Prime the model?
Also I would definatly use a rattle can to apply the first 2-3 basecoats before washing and dry brushing.
