I have watched this video four times and tonight I did my first cockpit jeweling of the newest Rifleman and Griffon miniatures. WOW! Thanks to your vids my skills keep going up and up.
Thanks for sharing, and glad you tried it out. Glad I could help!
I'll be coming back to this video, I think. Great tips and you made cockpit detailing less intimidating. I also appreciate the reminder to clean the brush out. I'll try and make that a habit.
Very subtle result. Nice
Very cool! Thanks!
Wow! That is impressive. Thanks for sharing this tutorial. I will try this method out.
Glad it was helpful!
Great tutorial! Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
I tried this for the first time today - but I did it with red and orange for my Davion Brigade of Guards Wolverine. It stands out nicely against the blue and the technique wasn't hard to follow. Thanks!
That's great to hear it helped you, glad you like your results.
@@CamoSpecsOnline I would never have had the guts to try that stripe if not for the other video, either.
Nice video! I like it
Thanks!
If you varnish the cockpit, do you prefer a gloss or matte varnish?
I always use a gloss on mine but that's because I like to let the ambient light add those white glare effects to them. If you paint them on as white dots, then it's really up to you which you prefer.
I tried gloss and it kind of made it difficult to appreciate the subtle effect of the highlighting, so I dialed it back to satin.
You are missing the white highlight dot in the darkest part.
Thanks for the tutorial - I'm confused, though, on how to choose where to place the lighter and darker colors for this effect based on the light source. If the light source is overhead, it seems like the white would be where the glint is strongest and the colors would get darker from there towards the bottom of the cockpit. What am I not understanding here? Or is what you're showing here some light effect that happens with certain shapes of glass?
It's not uncommon to think the way you are. It's also not wrong. In fact the color of the gem or lens would most likely be throughout the entire area but at differing levels of brightness. The reason the darkest colors or even blacks are used commonly is that at this scale and even ones larger, it's very difficult to not only paint the gradients, but for the human eye to notice them. Take a look at some "Paining gems on miniatures" images on google or look up a few tutorials and see a bit more examples that follow the light theory. Sometimes things in the hobby have to cheat in order to look their best. You can always add the white sharp highlight at the very upper edges if you feel it fits your painting preference. I usually don't simply because I use gloss and let the natural reflections take place.
Glad I read before commenting. I was going to ask if the little white dot and glossing were used together. How bad would that look? I was shown to do the dot and not gloss. I like finding different methods!
@@alanprihoda7772 Gloss all glass, I have glint on most it accents the natural glint on mine. Glints are best used on weapon jeweling.
So. On BattleMech aircraft style cockpits, how would you do them. (Stone rhino, viper, Ect)
Same techniques apply for the application of color, just the light reflection points change a bit. Here's a painted example: ua-cam.com/video/QFHy3y3xFEM/v-deo.html
And another example on a Battlemaster: ua-cam.com/video/nHa3yJZ24HI/v-deo.html
So. I’ve another question since I recently stumbled across your channel.
Why distilled water. I just started watching yesterday and have not heard your reasoning.
Depending on where you live, the mineral and chemical content of your tapwater may cause tide marks or salt stains. I use distilled just to avoid any of that surprising me and causing trouble.
Even if it doesn't cause visible staining, it can affect how your paint thins, flows or even affect the color somewhat.
it just looks so cheesy to me
Some people like cheese :) Admittedly, for years I painted my mech cockpits pure black and gloss varnished them because I thought it looked more realistic. The color jeweling allows for a contrast pop on what can sometimes be boring looking military equipment so I see the argument both for and against.
very ugly figures. (not the paintjob)
It all depends on the 'mech. Some of them are ugly, some of them look pretty, it's part of each design's personality.
A lot of rl military vehicles look ugly. What is your point?
Whaa. ?? They are Beautiful! I know some of the older BT models are Wacky and Ugly but these two are Great. The Asthetic with the Yellow and black is perfect. I love The MechWarrior Online Piranha Games Mech designs Too but That old cyclops is just beautiful
