Ay no. I know that you need to put food on the table but this is wrecking with pay-to-win microtransactions.
There's an old John Blanche artwork that depicts some Imperial looking dudes in front of the Statue of Liberty. It was inside a giant cathedral. Love your execution!
Sounds very cool! Thanks Invictarus :)
resin needs to be poured in small lifts as it's exothermic when drying.
Indeed! And this resin does not seem to enjoy deep pours at all.
That collection of Pratchett Books. Instant love!
Aye. That’s some important reading right there :)
That's some lovely corrosion
Thanks Bill. It wouldn’t surprise me if the next is worse.
Some where in the back of my head I seem to recall in the fluff that the Earth (Holy Terra) was a highly irradiated desert world. Nice diorama none the less.
Gotta love Dryhammer Dirty Gray!
One of the best small dioramas I’ve seen. If you made more Warhammer dioramas that would be awesome
Thank you! More to come :)
I have a recipie for my 30k blood angels that im absolutely in love with.
I airbrush my minis white with a primer, then I add contrast blood angels red, then I wash the details and recess with carronirg crimson, and then I dry brush with asgorath red dry.
Finally, I add nuln oil to the lowest parts of the model, then sponge on some black and silver battle damage.
I really like how your marine has turned out, it has a great look. And while the problems you had with the resin must have been very frustrating it is useful to viewers like me to see even the setbacks when great pieces like this are created. Some videos give the impression that masterpieces just flow smoothly into existence and that's nothing like the experience of many average painters. Seeing that even good painters experience setbacks and importantly how they recover from them is just as important as any discussions of techniques.
Thank you Zingbo, I do prefer to just tell my story. Often very simplified because of narrative and UA-cam as a medium… but I do try and keep mistakes and such in when they occur.
Exactly Zingbo! mistakes and setbacks in tutorial videos are just as insightful and valuable as anything else for the viewer
Pretty sure some resins react badly with foam, even sealed with mod podge. A layer of UV resin cured over the base is often a good precaution to prevent this. Also for deeper pours you need a 48 or 72 hour setting resin to avoid too much heat.
So in the end you made a charcharadon! Also this has a big fallout feeling!
I’ve only just learned about them through comments. Cool stuff.
Although accurate. Horus doing 'a bad thing' is very, very.. very much an understatement.
Also youre diorama is skills are breathtakingly good.
Thanks S!
The base looks less like the ending of "Planet of the Apes" and more like the poster for "The Day After Tomorrow".
Holy moly, what a throwback, love it. Through adversity we grow, and it looks to me like while your diorama may not have been what you originally envisioned, I think its brilliant and allows for a minimalistic story rather than being too busy.
Thank you Dan. It did indeed turn out quite minimal, I even opted out the golden flame of the Liberty torch 🗽to keep things simpler.
I love small dioramas like this, they offer so much to the viewer! Beautiful paintwork on the Marine as well.
Thank you Anna-K!
The space marine looks awesome 👍👍
Thank you Mark
I absolutely love your Christopher Walken style of talking and you are a world class mini painter sir! Saving this one!
Thank you Jeffrey, that's quite the compliment. Welcome to the channel!
Just when I thought I couldn't enjoy this channel more, I spy a shelf full of Terry Pratchett.
I indeed! Not a complete collection… only because some of them have disappeared during the years :)
That was an interesting technique.
Great looking marine.
Feet really look like they are splashing in that water.
Thank you George!
Love the experiments with oils. Looking forward to seeing more more!
Thanks T!
Beautiful! And always a pleasure just listening to you talk
Great to hear Måns, Thank you.
Hey you missed a trick with the arctic theming, New York is a city where it snows in the winter so you could have put snow around the ruins and it wouldn't have been out of place.
Really cool. And i loved your weathering
Thank you Erik!
All looks amazing, fun fact in warhammer the oceans of earth are all gone due to various things done by humans
I love using oils, dotting different hues and then blending with a dry brush I do a lot, and stippling larger panels gives beautiful effects and textured but still smooth transitions, but the dry brush motion I'd never thought to try. Now it's so obvious, a smooth creamy paint that doesn't dry quickly is the ideal paint to build up in patient layers, that's a lot of intermediate drying time but when painting large units or a whole force you just put each to the back of the queue and pick up the next. Shaping the volumes with seamless smooth blends is child's play, every act can have a do-over anyway, every sculpted edge is automatically highlighted according to the direction of your brushstrokes. For painting liveried space marines this is genius and a definitive step forward.
Games workshop will need to find out how to get their new range of pre-thinned oil paints - "Contrast Cream" into ridiculously dumb little pots though. I think it may finally be balls
(mixing balls...)
Just the blending on the miniature with a rather large brush was a fun experiment. There is so much inherent knowledge from acrylics getting in my way of oil paint practice.
Depending on the resin, the reaction of polymerization can generate a lot of heat, which is why many creators who don't want to chance it just pour small layers.
Other resins either react because of the UV light or have lower reaction rates (that's to say longer curing times) and don't generate that much heat all at once
Re sand: I've had some luck adding a little Instar Spectrum gold shift to beige tones, so it catches the light a little.
Cool idea Stephen!
Turned out fantastic yet again Alex.
Thank you I!
Funny you mentioned the marines being like sharks, if you had made the lenses shiny black that would be a perfect Carcharodons Astra (space sharks) chapter scheme, red lines and all
Loved it just like the previous diorama!
Great to hear, thank you.
masterpiece. I'm impressed.
Wow, thanks!
On sharks being around in another 30,000 years, they've already been on earth longer than trees so it was a great choice!
Happy you posted a new video of an awesome marine and diorama.
Thanks Matt 🙏
I’m at 8:30 and the marine really has old school Carcharadon (Space Shark) vibes!
Marine sharks! Didn’t know they existed. Cool stuff :)
@@52Miniatures it’s my favorite chapter! Great job with everything.
Echoing what has been said before, most (all?) Resins have pour thicknesses, some in mm's thick. From resin tables to small displays they are often poured in layers after each cures. Great of you to recover and keep going!
Thanks for the beakies
Thanks Martin!
Wow, the atmosphere of this diorama is perfect for a grimdark setting. Bravo!
Thanks M! I'm glad you like it!
If you want to try a sand texture, I can recommend AK Interactive Light Sand. Will have to try out painting a model with oils only, it looks great!
Thanks for the tip!
My freind you alway come through with a film. You dont make videos on painting, you make short movies that inspire creativity. Thank you brother for all you do for us. Your films kick my day up to 11!
Charles, thank you. A great thing for me to hear, I really do appreciate it.
absolutely splendid
Thank you PPF! Much appreciated
Oooh, the shark disappeared, too bad for him! Anyway, that's a nice small diorama, and very remins me of the end of the Planet of the Apes
Aye, shame on the Shark, but I did have a lot of fun regardless :)
@@52Miniatures Well, it's showing through your video.
That's one reason I very much enjoy your channel. You can share your passion through your videos.
Fantastic job Alex, never considered using oils for minis outside of pin washes on armor models etc. That's a cracking little diorama, looking forward to seeing what you come up with next.

Thank Nick! I have a few more fun ideas, but I really should do some regular vids in between :)
5:30 the Abteilung oils do indeed dry faster than regular oils.
I thought so Wijkert, thank you for confirming :)
Wow, another brilliant video. What a great scene too. I remember it well, from my childhood when I watched Planet of the Apes for the first time. Has always been one of my fondest movie WTF? moments. And you'll be happy to know that I lingered in front of the oil paints section at my local hobby store today.....
Great Sean! Slowly luring you in :) seriously.. for staining and washes alone it’s worth the little time of learning to work with a new medium.
What an interesting technique! Going to have to go to the crafts store, pick up some oils & give it a shot.
Good luck Brooks 👍
As with every video of yours, I absolutely love this! I love the humour and I love the overall outcome. Definitely something I want to try in the future
Thank you very much Chris, I appreciate it greatly
@@52Miniatures you're very welcome, I aim to catch a live stream at some point
Youre one of my favorite painters!
Well thank you humbly Louis
Shame about the flash cure! But the final diorama is super nice. Sand looks great, got some really nice tips from that! :D
Great to hear, thanks Nat.
Absolutely beautiful. Honestly, I think the failure on the first resin poor was a happy accident, because I really think that this Marine looks great in this setting. I think the subtle blue-green shadows of the armor contrast really nicely with the patina on the statue's remains.
Thank you DB, I think I agree with you.
Great video Alex. Enjoyed as always.
Thank you Rob 🙏
This was another great production, keep it up
Thank you Steven
This piece needs to compete to GW Golden Demon !
Amazing model, the first base is so cool though, I would of had to of found a way to use it.
this is awesome
Brilliant as always!
Thank you Patrizio!
I hate that you had resin problems - if not for 'having ' to produce the base for the video I would have been sorely tempted to shelve this for another day (like when the sun goes cold!!) - enjoyed the 'new' oil painted marine! MORE!
A lot of learning to be had for me John, so in the end it’s all good. Thank you
God damn you Alex! You always start with something weird, I always think that this time it’s not my type of project… and then I love it at the end. Bloody hell.
Hah, thanks Filip!
Like making good fried potatoes, painting sand is deceptively tricky, but i thought you pulled it off beautifully. Cheers
Agreed! And now I’m hungry too… hope you are well!
Fantastic use of oil paints! They can do so much more than just washing
Very much so. A lot of experimenting to be done.
ELF eyeshadow brushes make a great soft dry brush. Wonderful weathering and diorama. RIP zombie shark.
Rip Zombie shark! I’ll check them out. Thank you.
Alex, I always get so excited when I see a new video from you. This was absolutely fantastic. Shame the frozen underwater scene didn't work but I loved the gloss modpodge waves!
Thanks Bill! I’ll save the underwater scene for another day :)
I love the final result. Theres a wonderful nostalgic feel to it that captures the 40k art and image I grew up with. Just the right mix of oldhammer and middle hammer visuals.
Theres a brush I've always seen referred to as a blender brush that's somewhat common in traditional oil painting. The idea isn't too dissimilar. Use the clean blender to soften edges and transitions in an oil painting. It's great for making particularly fluffy clouds.
Also known as mop brushes
I’m going to brows the art store and the makeup store for alternative brushes :)
Thank you for sharing 👍
My pleasure CJ
This is great!
Turned out great! Maybe even better than with the pour?
I don’t know. A snow landscape would have been fun. But I can use that idea for something else :)
It was cool to see that when you add the rust and other weathering to the marine, then the blues and greens reallypopped and looked great.
Aye! Pale cool colours are just so much better to chip and rust. Green works great too.
so cool!
That paint job on the marine is freaking awesome; like something from an Enki Bilal comic strip.
Great Euan! Lovely compliment thank you :)
i really like listening to the 30k audiobooks when i paint. many of them are really really good
Great stuff 👍
very cool!
exellent video, whit the fail too
Thank you Martin :)
You might enjoy James Wappel's oil painting technique, it is also reminiscent of dry brushing but all the mixing is usually done on the mini.
Aye, I need to study James more. Thanks :)
Great end result! Really nice icy blue armor!
What a shame initial pour failed. Would've been an amazing diorama!
Thank you Patryk!
Damn, you're good, dude! Really good!
Thank you humbly Max
Excellent work (play) as always Alex. Carry on 😉💕
Thank you 🙏
Great result. Excellent colour scheme and effects on the Marine. Another top job 👍
beautiful!
Thank you Pedro!
Your stuff is consistently great! Fantastic even! The realism to your paints and dioramas is beautiful, and your videos themselves are a work of art!
This deserves more than 26,000 views. Keep up the good work!
Well thank you Wyatt, I really do appreciate it.
Judging by the scale of the statue in relation to the space marine I'm guessing that he's in post-apocalyptic France
Nice one!
Thanks Steve
awesome video... again. and stunning diorama. thank you.
Thank you BN!
@@52Miniatures every time i watch one of your videos it moves me one step closer to simply paint miniatures for the joy of painting a miniature... as trying to army paint has virtually killed my passion for the hobby.
@@dark_SDKR Army painting can have that unfortunate effect. I'm glad that my videos help a little!
Oil drybrush is a difficult technique to master, and that is too little spoken of. Well done!
Thank you very much!
Excellent!
Thank you Garry!
gadzukes, I'm the second individual to remark upon this.
This is like: “Second!”
Another great video.
Thank you D!
I love this
Thanks Brandon!
My personal opinion is that if the human race manages to survive for thirty thousand years, they may as well be aliens from our perspective today. That being said, if you are going to play at war and the strategies of war with miniatures on a tabletop, I say make it as extremely outlandish and far out as possible and whoever dreamt up the concept of WH40k I think had a superb idea!
Epic!!!
This was so relaxing, thank you! Stunning Diorama/Paint job.
Thank you very much!
Geeez this is cool!!! Well done as always.
Thank you 🙏
I love this so much.... Subbed!
Lovely! Welcome to the channel Wedd
Enjoyed the video. Drybrushing oil sounds like a very interesting technique. Nice recovery of the diorama.
Great to hear Christoffer, thank you.
This was FANTASTIC!
Thank you Stephen!
Bravo! I love your honesty in story telling, such a refreshing thing these days.
Thank you Josh! I’m glad to hear it and appreciate it.
Evocative! Bravo Sir. While I was a little sad that we didn't get to see him trudging across the frozen depths, the second go looks great ⚡⚡⚡
Hi Alex, strange work yours , some inspired from planet of the apes, but from the good old '70s. Looking at you working with the oil paints, makes me think that I still prefer acrylics
You mentioned wanting to find some softer brushes good for dry brushing. You might enjoy trying some makeup brushes ;)
Thanks for another enjoyable video!
Thanks Lauren 👍 yes I think the big ones are too soft, but I was considering browsing what more is out there.
Great work and colour choices, dry oil brushing definitely is an interesting idea to consider.
Thank you, I had a great time :)
