    "Fast painting is all about cutting corners" - Could not be more true.

    • @tabletopminions
      @tabletopminions  8 років тому +6

      +SDub It's totally true. Thanks for watching!

    Great vid. just one suggestion can you zoom in on the finished pieces more when your done so I can really get a good look at it.
    spend perhaps an extra 20 seconds just showing off the finished piece ?
    THANKS !

    3:07 You can pant your hands if you want to; you can smear those paints around; and if your friends don't paint, and if they won't smear, well they're no friends of mine; you can paint...
    On a more serious note, what about a gentle scrub with some steel wool either pre-primer or post-final layer?

    • @tabletopminions
      @tabletopminions  7 років тому +1

      +aspektx I'm not sure if the steel wool would work. Thanks for watching!

    Seems like all your vids have a cool blue color filter over them. That's cool. But weird on tutorial videos where I want to see more of the real colors. Thanks for all the good videos.

  • @Panzerkuchen
    @Panzerkuchen 8 років тому +1

    ow man all these technique videos are awesome, prolly won't look as good
    when I do it but man Sam seems to be a good teacher, clear instructions
    and explaining why you want to do it that way in the process. Thanks and
    I hope you guys will release a lot more of these in the future :D

    • @Panzerkuchen
      @Panzerkuchen 8 років тому +2

      on a side note I don't know how you guys decide on the next video but maybe glowing effects could be a nice topic in the future :D

    • @tabletopminions
      @tabletopminions  8 років тому +1

      +Gloir I'll let Sam know that. Thanks for watching!

    nice video, answered some of my questions on the salty n hairspray technique ...well all of them actually. Grand job guys oh yea and liked the arty B&W intro. Thanks.

      +shirlzknight We're nothing if not artsy. Thanks for watching!

    Thanks for a good demonstration of the salt-and-hairspray technique.

    • @tabletopminions
      @tabletopminions  8 років тому

      It works pretty well, and saves time. Thanks for watching!

  • @dmoats8695

    I'd love to hear Sam's thoughts on painting birds or pegasi... feathers and such.
    Great vids!

    Nice tutorial, I love the salt technique. I've never used hairspray tho. May need to give it a try

    • @tabletopminions
      @tabletopminions  8 років тому +1

      It helps a lot with the salt, from what I understand. Thanks for watching!

  • @titanterrainstudio
    @titanterrainstudio 8 років тому +1

    great tutorial. im actually doing a little personal set using amera plastics vacuum form kits and ive been meaning to try this technique for a while

    • @tabletopminions
      @tabletopminions  8 років тому

      It works surprisingly well on things that are supposed to be metal and have chipped paint. Thanks for watching!

  • @khadorstrong
    @khadorstrong 8 років тому +29

    any specific hairspray you prefer?
    As a bald man, I don't know much about it

    • @ILikeToColourRed
      @ILikeToColourRed 8 років тому +2

      cheap :P

    • @tabletopminions
      @tabletopminions  8 років тому +11

      Cheap, water-soluble, and pump instead of aerosol (because it smells better, in my opinion). Thanks for watching!

    • @ARescueToaster
      @ARescueToaster 6 років тому

      A year late to this punch line but.....Can you use Rogaine instead? :D

    Sam lenz it's great seeing a pro work!! The only other channel on UA-cam doin that shut down!! Please dude do more full high level mini paint projects like this here. No other you tuber does

    • @tabletopminions
      @tabletopminions  8 років тому +2

      I feel like there are others: Dr. Faust and Orc Painter Nerd are two I can think of off the top of my head. Thanks for watching!

    • @HiveMind3006
      @HiveMind3006 6 років тому

      If you want high level painting tutorials broken down into easy to digest steps check out Vince Venturella's channel and his Hobby Cheating videos. I have been binge watching them over the last couple of weeks and he has changed the way I even think about painting, colours, basing and even priming- IMO the guy is a genius.
      Having just given Mr Venturella a glowing review there I'd like to second what 'Farts' says as it is great watching Sam work and even better if the two of you could get some more of these Painting with the Pro videos done. I realise it must be hard to make these videos with all it entails and the logistics of getting yourself and Sam together but I really hope you do and bring us more Sam Lenz magic. I hope you don't mind me mentioning another UA-camr's channel here Unkie Adam!
      See (or hear) yah either on The Every Other Sunday Show or The Patron Minions show.
      Cheers :)

    Yay Painter Sam uses P3 paints \o/ My Wargame Consortium - Games & Gear Hydra Brushes and P3 paint set arrived today, looking forward to painterating with them!

    • @tabletopminions
      @tabletopminions  8 років тому

      He's a big fan of them. No one around here sells them, sadly. Otherwise I'd try them out. Thanks for watching!

    • @lunahula
      @lunahula 8 років тому

      I find that quite surprising. Though I suppose it's a bit like reaper master series paints here in the uk, getting them is difficult, getting them at a non crazy price is not possible xD

  • @themadgi
    @themadgi 8 років тому +3

    That's one neat little trick.

    • @tabletopminions
      @tabletopminions  8 років тому

      Quick and easy paint chips. Thanks for watching!

  • @codelicious6590
    @codelicious6590 5 років тому +1

    You can limit the chipping to hard edges and details only if you just omit the salt.

    Good stuff guys! One thing, do you water down the ink in the airbrush?

    • @tabletopminions
      @tabletopminions  8 років тому

      Nope, just straight out of the pot. Thanks for watching!

  • @joshmccarthy9605
    @joshmccarthy9605 8 років тому +3

    Is the FW ink sprayed straight, or is it thinned?
    And also Sam is quickly becoming one of my favorite tutorial guys.

    • @tabletopminions
      @tabletopminions  8 років тому +1

      I believe it's sprayed straight. Thanks for watching!

    Does someone have the link for the video where Sam sells Tau? I saw a clip from it once and I have not been able to find it.

    could you do a video on painting metal textures?

    • @tabletopminions
      @tabletopminions  8 років тому +1

      I'll add it to the list. Thanks for watching!

  • @stephengedra1833
    @stephengedra1833 8 років тому +1

    What do you mean by dull coat/clear coat at 9:16? I'm admittedly a little inexperienced and have never heard of it.

    • @tabletopminions
      @tabletopminions  8 років тому

      I generally use an aerosol spray called Testors Dullcote. It's a clear spray-on varnish that is the opposite of glossy. It helps protect the paint. Thanks for watching!

  • @igelkott255
    @igelkott255 8 років тому +1

    yay Deadzone! Are you going to do more deadzone painting?

    • @tabletopminions
      @tabletopminions  8 років тому

      Hard to say. I own some Deadzone, but I think Sam mainly just owns the terrain. Thanks for watching!

  • @jonathondaniels2127

    Nice. Simple but effective.

      +Owf Gaming It works well,and it's pretty easy. Thanks for watching!

  • @sageeidolon6817
    @sageeidolon6817 7 років тому +4

    Would you use this technique on vehicles?

    • @tabletopminions
      @tabletopminions  7 років тому +1

      Absolutely you could. Thanks for watching!

  • @rustedbeetle
    @rustedbeetle 8 років тому

    Salt flakes works if you want larger pieces.

    • @tabletopminions
      @tabletopminions  8 років тому

      +rustedbeetle I could see that. Thanks for watching!

  • @hyaground
    @hyaground 4 роки тому

    Can you please advise how to do this WITHOUT an airbrush?

    • @tabletopminions
      @tabletopminions  8 років тому +2

      A terrain kit from Mantic, I believe they're called BattleZones. They also come in the Deadzone game. Thanks for watching!

    Whenever I hear "Bloodstone" I get Judas Priest stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

    • @tabletopminions
      @tabletopminions  8 років тому +1

      Things could certainly be worse. You might get Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" stuck in your head. Thanks for watching!

  • @Lancegrim
    @Lancegrim 8 років тому +1

    That looks realy interesting and good. But i dont like that white tone. A very bright silver would have looked cooler, but thats just my tase.

    • @tabletopminions
      @tabletopminions  8 років тому

      +Lancegrim I like it better with a lighter color, myself. Thanks for watching!

    • @Lancegrim
      @Lancegrim 8 років тому

      Yeah well personal taste and all that :) Keep up the good work.

  • @justinh2791
    @justinh2791 8 років тому +2

    Awesome painting technique, but video production needs a little work. The camera angles and lighting were just kinda meh.

  • @jazeroth322
    @jazeroth322 8 років тому +1

    cool work!😠

  • @larabic
    @larabic 8 років тому +1

    why salt? why not basing gravel or Sand?

    • @tabletopminions
      @tabletopminions  8 років тому +2

      +larabic The salt reacts with the hairspray and sticks better than gravel or sand would. Plus, when you get it wet, it comes off easier. Thanks for watching!

  • @GeneJordan
    @GeneJordan 8 років тому +5

    I do like the weathering technique.
    However, I don't recommend dipping your large brush directly into the pot. I mean, it's your paint, but thinning it with some distilled water wouldn't hurt. Dipping into one color and then the other made me cringe. Again, it's your paint, so do with it as you wish. ;)

  • @codelicious6590
    @codelicious6590 5 років тому

    Trivial fact: typical Americans should never eat only sea salt because iodized table salt is our main source of iodine, which is essential to the human body. Also, the only real difference between sea salt and table salt is textural.

    Sorry, but you lost me at "using an airbrush" thing, as I am only an average joe in a world of terrain painting...
