Lovely comparison! Also, this channel is definitely one of my favorites! The enthusiasm, positivity and excitement you bring to your videos is very enjoyable to watch!
Have you ever tried reversing the primer and the drybush bightness scale such as doing a white primer with a black drybrush? Would be interesting to see how it changes it almost like seeing the negative of a picture or if the settling/pooling of the inks would negate the effect..
So excellent, thank you for doing this! And our Perth store in Australia has now Colour Forge cans, I'm sure it's thanks to your comment about it on their FB page 😊👍
So I have never painted a mini before but I have a couple I was going to try my hand at that had flaws during printing. On the first one I just bought cheep rustoleum flat black primer but it tends to rub off on your hand when touching the mini. I am assuming I need something better and that this should not happen and the color forge and army paint primers will not do this?
I am thinking of picking up a 3D printer and printing models to use with League of Dungeoneers at some point in the future. what printer would you recommend and any tips for a new buyer of printer and where would you suggest to get the fantasy models I need for League of Dungeoneers. I'm more of a traditional painter (Been painting for over 30 years, but I may slap chop the League of Dungeoneer stuff to get through it quickly.
The purple with banana split (yellow?) you said it was green in the video; came out very nice. I think I still like the black best because of the deep shadows and definition you see. But the purple would be my second choice. Both colors give a great gradient change in the colors to make the details pop for me. Great job! Thanks for the video!
I prefer the Brown basecoat and Arctic Blue Drybrush. As I'm not a big fan of the really dark recesses but like the cleaner finish. Would like to see you try out the different colour primers and then all dry brushed white or even another colour.
In my experience with coloured primers it's a time save more than anything. It's one less step so I can get a base or undertone done and drybrush over it for batch or speed painting. Colour selection helps a lot though, for the green skin I actually don't mind the orange and yellow bases at all - I think they liven up the green below. I've seen people do pink undercoats for when they are painting yellow because it makes it richer. These are cool tests and the results are all quite lovely.
Hi, really love your channel. It motivates me to want to reduce my pile of shame! One question, do you prefer GW contrast paint or GW dipping inks and why?
Cheers, at the moment I am loving the GW dipping inks, they all seem to work really well and cost less than other paints and you can get them in bigger 60ml size 😊
Haha, I do keep thinking about it, but they would probably be during the day as thats when I tend to paint but I know most people are on in the evenings but thats when I tend to relax more lol, I will do some livestreams soon as they are fun 😊
I feel like you'd get an even bigger impact if you did three colors for your base coating. A dark, a mid tone and a Dark. With the Green and Orange the colors looked great at the start but I feel like they didn't work in the end due to the lack of contrast. Might look good to do a purple for the dark, orange for the mid and green for the light. Would just need to be a different shade of green and orange. I like the shade of green you chose, but maybe go with a darker orangey red. Something like Orange Red by Vallejo. Or close to it.
Just realized my error. I said a dark tone twice. Should be a dark, mid and light. lol anyhow. If you do try it out, I look forward to seeing it. Glad you’ve been enjoying it.
For the price of those cans you could have bought an airbrush. Then you get a choice of primers and bet of all if you just buy white primer you can tint it with ink, getting from almost black (I prefer that to full black, so does Vince Venturella) then you can white Zenith on top. But you can use drops of ANY ink (or think paint) to create any basecoat you want, warm colours for skin, shadow colours for armour, etc.
I do have an airbrush but short on space so rarely get it out of the cupboard to set up, rattle cans are just more convenient for me at the mo until I have more space to set up an area for them, maybe one day lol 😊
I wonder why the printing lines were so much more visible on the one you primed brown. Maybe it's the resin. That orange primer one was so florescent - definitely something to remember for the right model :)
Ahh you noticed the dodgy one, one of the prints had a small failure on a little finger so I reprinted it but had the figure laying down rather than at 45 degrees so I could print it quicker so it resulted in the layer lines being more visible, you have a kean eye 😊
Most hobbyists like cheap and durable resin. What about a showdown between rpg resin, abs like resin and wargamer resin. How detailed can you make them and if the price is worth it
That is something I want to do as I do have quite a range of resins from different companies, it just takes time cleaning out the vat each time and I guess Im kinda lazy sometimes and all that extra effort puts me off lol, even though it is something I really want to do, maybe one day 😊
The orange green one is my favorite! ❤😂🎉

I'm painting Ork Boyz at the moment, I'm just trying different techniques and that's getting some good variations
I really liked the brown with the arctic blue.
Never would have thought of that, but it turned out awesome

I liked the brown with pastel light blue after all the contrast/dip paints.
Yup that one was my second favourite and looked like it would work well with all colours over the top of them 😊
Thanks for all the videos!
I've been watching so many slapchop videos and a lot of that say not to use Matt primer. What is your thoughts on this?
You need to try it with a Red base coat, drybrush light green, and wash darker green. It gives a really good muscle look.
Ahh cool, cheers, I will get a red primer to try that with 😊

I think the first one looks cool because it has kind of an iridescent look to it

YUp the softness does look good, I will be getting some different colour primers and going with white drybrush to see how that looks 😊

Cheers, yeah its good to do these tests to see what can happen, its all the fun of this hobby, trying new things and seeing what results we get 😊

When will you live stream again? I've been watching a lot of your old streams while I paint, and I need more!
Haha, I do keep thinking about it, but they would probably be during the day as thats when I tend to paint but I know most people are on in the evenings but thats when I tend to relax more lol, I will do some livestreams soon as they are fun 😊
All look great awesome channel❤

Hhhmmm that maybe something worth trying, its certainly fun to mess about and see what the results are 😊

That orange primer with green overbrush might go well with a nurgle inspired miniature.
Yup it would work well for them, not to find some nurgles to print lol 😊
The orange would be great for a chaotic energy

Wow really cool 😍😍
Cheers 😊
like the third one yep purple
Yeah I think that really works well with the green for orks, gonna try out some other colour primers soon 😊
Orange primer would be a cool one for something like tyranids
Yup them or nurgles 😊

@@MiniatureHobbyist Ahha - thanks for letting me know, and thanks for experimenting for the rest of us.
Just finnished a scratch build venomcrawler.... these would have came in handy as now have 800 points of Chaos to paint hahhaa 😅
I actually prefer the orange one. It gives it gives it kind of a tone under the skin.
It works well with the green, other colours not so well lol 😊

Print some dragons and do different schemes they be awesome for heroquest or D&D
I do have my eye on some dragons to print, so maybe soon 😊
Couldn't listen to you saying Syria Tech.
trash bash some models from FOWW nuka factions and compare to prints and actuals,
I do have a lot of miniatures I need to build and kitbashing is so much fun 😊
