Well, that’s my payday purchases sorted then! :)
Best plastic glue is far and away Tamiya extra thin plastic cement. the brush applicator and high fluidity means you can dry fit and then just brush onto the seam and it bonds perfectly. the brush applicator also means you can melt off flash and smooth out gouges or damage
Haha got to the part of the video where you said you had new merch, and I immediately opened the tab and bought 3 shirts XD
Hit play again and theeeeeres the discount code!
LOL oh well man, I hope that extra 10% goes to you!!
@@mrArd37 it does. Thx mate :)
can get clippers from boots for like £5-8 cuticle clippers realy great shape helps you get into those hard to reach places
I got back into 40k about a year ago. I was so focused on just playing the game. Being on a budget, I had to focus on getting the models I already had ready for the table. Your tips, videos, and just general positivity has made me change my focus to painting and basing. Its a blast so thanks!
Painting is more fun for me personally nowadays due to how much the rules constantly change within just a year of whatever the game's current edition will be.
Prep work is the most underrated part of the hobby and to be honest it's the most satisfying for me. I love building kits
Building is my favourite as well.
It's the most stressful part for me, especially removing mold lines and the small bits of plastic left by the clippers - quite often I cut too deep and damage the mini :-(
Some models are so satisfying to put together. Others are a pain in the backside! There were some old necron dudes that drove me crazy trying to put together
Me too! Have you tried a Gundam model kit? They come precolored, so it’s basically prep work, but once your done cleaning, the kit is done! They are super enjoyable.
I’m terribly jealous of you, not gonna lie. I don’t hate it, but the building is one of my least favorite parts of the hobby
For glue, I would recommend the Tamiya model glue. You apply it using a small brush, which allows for really precise application, and the glue is super thin, so it runs into the cracks you may have missed or couldn’t get to. I originally started dong model tanks, and when I started getting into war hammer I kept using the glue and kept getting better results and having an easier time than when I used the citadel glue.
Second this. Ultrathin glue for plastics from Tamiya, Mr Hobby or AMMO is really good for anything plastic related, not just tanks and planes!
Yeah the Extra-thin version is awesome plastic glue
I am a beginner as well, and wanting to try out the suggestion of Brent from Goober i tried the Tamiya model glue too. Totally worthy purchase, the little brush makes it so easy and pleasant to apply the glue. A bit extra care should be used since the brush doesn't allow the same degree of control of the citadel long thin output, but i find out that i prefer having the glue laid in layers rather than in drops.
Yer but he has a relationship that involves him selling GW products.
UA-cam is 99% advertising now
I mostly make model planes and I use two types of cement: tamiya extra thin cement and revell contacta professional. The tamiya has a brush and it’s great for attaching small parts as well as connecting long seams. The other thing it’s great for is melting a surface after sanding so the scratches etc soften or disappear after fettling. The revell glue has a needle applicator and is great for initial bonding of major assemblies as it is fairly precise, but also very strong.
Please take care of yourself.
New content s always appreciated and I love to watch cool epic projects BUT all of your health should always come first
Can’t wait to get my hands on these models. Please show the finished product or a deep dive on a centerpiece model so I can learn and copy your techniques!
Fir gap filling, I'd recommend Vallejo Plastic Putty. It's pretty much the same process as you have now, except it already comes as putty, so you don't need to mess around with iso or anything. You can also easily file it after it's hardened, works great.
Jes man, you are the king of the base ;)
OMG, you watch squid mar?
@@CarmelloCassarole dude, I'm literally everywhere on UA-cam it seems. :)
*Davie504 wants to know your location*
@@Dracodomin there can be only one king of Bass...
not even close
Thanks for the beginners tips. I'm just starting to get into the painting of my minis. You're helping me a bunch. Thanks a lot :)
Love it! Hope to see a finished version at some point! ❤️ enjoy the downtime week!
Love this more chilled vibe. Great tips and love the new Merch. Well done Squidmar for all you do.
Thank you I'm just starting off and you have answered a lot of questions!!!
I love this! Definitely adopting some of these. I wish more mini painting channels had basic intro videos like these
Thanks for being a good mate and looking after your friends
If you take a break, everyone will be here when you get back! Not going anywhere! Stay safe and healthy!
Those Kruleboy bases are going to be epic cannot wait to see all these guys painted. Another epic video Emil some great tips :)
Great video! I always like to know exactly how models are prepped, they might not be the most exciting videos, but they're among the most useful for sure!
I really enjoy chill videos like this, you can take it easy more often!
An excellent video, Squidmar and Co. I am new to painting minis and the tips you’ve given are exactly what I need! The Milliput and iso paste is genius! It would be so good if you did a series of short “tips” videos like this. They wouldn’t need to be high production; just you and the camera and solid advice. Your videos give me confidence to try things out. Thanks, Squidmar, Lucas and Victor!
Very nice video, loved the relaxed approach
I'm not even close to the level of basing skill you guys have... finished a pretty damn high quality Katakros the other day and was damn proud of myself. Then I see the work you guys put in before even touching paint to the model! Impressive and inspiring, as always!
This was hands down one of the best videos you’ve put out in ages. Absolutely loved it! This is why I started following back in the beginning. Please more of this format. Thank you 🙏! Cheers 🍻
A lot of people poke fingers at the Citadel tools, but I would still highly recommend the clippers and the drill (and the water pot actually). Gone are the days of sprues flying across the room when clipping them or whiny gears drilling rough barrel holes. Both items cut like absolute butter.
Agree 100% about the citadel side cutters. I haven't tried the drill myself
YES we need videos like this. I really enjoy watching streams of people working on building their models.
Awesome chill video. Definitely enjoyed the vibe.
Awesome tips! Keep up the great work !
I do really like these relaxed kind of videos.
Actually greatly prefer this style of video. Very chill. Lots of great info and inspiration.
Awesome stuff.
Thank you for your wonderful videos, I am loving everything minis.
Great vid, I've learned a lot. I would not mind seeing more of this kind of videos!😄
Just got back into Warhammer to relive some of my childhood and you've been by far the best channel for tutorials
I also love your smiley friendly personality
Inspiring work. Thanks for sharing!
Wow this must be the coolest channel on the internet! What a handsome person.
0.o Emil? lol
Meta….
@@charleyedwards2121 of course ;)
😂
Ehhh I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder and what not
Now this video came perfectly on time as I am doing some assemble and painting tonight XD
I just put together some boyz :) now to prime and paint! Got like 3 other boxes waiting for me and this gave me inspiration
Love the Video!! thats exactly what i needed for my new minis :)!!
Thanks I needed this
This is super helpful! Thank you! Especially the miliput + alcohol trick is great :D
Honestly can't wait too see what you do with these bases been desperate to see some good swamp basing ideas and tutorials
Thank you for this video! I needed this to send to a guy who is new at Warhammer
Love the chill vibe
This is perfect! I just got my first set of WH40K, but haven't started, since I'm trying to finish up my D&D mini backlog first. Now I know what to do for the steps I've never done before, since Bones, D&D minis are pre-assembled
Building Warhammer miniatures is a whole nother hobby in of itself, especially if you also magnetize certain bits like weapon options.
Hope everyone gets well soon.
Thanks for the chill video.
Cant wait to see the final result emil. They already looked dope with the zenithal. Any project for the stormcast half of the box?
Sweet work.
Some great tips in there! Looking forward to seeing what you do with Dominion. Don't push yourselves too hard though - health is more important.
Perfect timing i ordered my first set just the other day :)
Please do a video on painting the Orruks. Love your colour scheme! Especially the shields
Hi! Returned to watching your video's recently and now want to pick up painting again, but really at a higher level. I would love if you picked some basic figure and make a paint along sort of video, where we go stel by step and can follow along. Keep up the great content!
I’m loving the chill video! No special effects needed!
Hey man. I subbed today after a long time lurking. Milliput hack with iso is definitely something I will be trying out, great vids keep it up!
Just got the Votann box and I'll definitely use these tips
This video more of a fully fledged video than you think. I learned and was entertained. Well played.
Thx for the code and a great video again.
I quite enjoy the prep part.
great video squidmar!!!
Can't wait to see how these come out.
I love the idea of 3d printing such a staircase so much, thanks for the idea!
I really recommend you try out Tamiya plastic glue; the thin type that flows into recesses through *extreme* capillary action. They also come with a little brush, which ai find way easier to use than the Citadel nozzle.
Good vid dude, it’s nice to see a back to basics revision on our favourite channel 😁
Love this kind of chill videos too ! Take care of yourself, we don't need ultra epic content every week.
I usually dont like sponsor shout outs but i really liked yours! I even subscribed to them! yey!
Love this type of down to earth videos
Just discovered your channel and i'm already a huge fan, greetings from Sweden!
Great video man!
I can't wait to try the milliput tip tonight! What an awesome idea, I hate filling gaps!
totally do more of these simpler videos! the higher production stuff i think should come out slowly so you dont burn out
Great ideas.
I was happy to see we handle our bases much the same. I build every single base for an army separate form the mini initially. Where we differ is that I will fully prime and paint the base completely separate from the model, and only glue them together after they are each painted. My mini's get stuck to the tops of Rx bottle via double sided tape similar to Miniac.
Exactly the type of content i was looking for😊
Great advice!
Love your vids
Good job
Would love to see a tutorial on these bases and paint scheme!
Just started working my my first miniatures today, boought myself a box of skitarii. Already had a few bad accidents but enjoying it so far
Depending on the gap you can also press milliput in the gap and use a worn brush dipped in water to sculpt / smooth the area down to hide tedious gaps.
Thank you for all your beginner vids. I quit warhammer before I got started ( to overwhelmed I think ). Have a starter box of sorts with a few units of chaos marines, possessed and a rhino along with 5th edition core rules and chaos codex. Thanks to youtubers like you, fan animations and lorevids I will probably give it another go this fall. Tack som fan!
Did you end up building them?
@@Shartlemon yes, used them to learn so they look bad.
Nice video! If you haven't tried it yet I recommend trying the Tamiya Extra Thin plastic cement, with the super tiny brush applicator is like painting glue!
Thanks emil,
I was building a few sets of skitarii rangers and vanguard and I painted two to see how they would come out and I was totally bummed out by the gap in the cloak and was trying to figure out how to fix that. Your tip of "milliput and iso" was a godsent. I will definitely try that out!!
Could you, plz, explain for the outerworlders what is the ISO?
@@kostiantyndanylchenko8628 I THINK he means Isopropanol (Alcohol) but I'd like to get a conformation for that too
sorry guys, it's isopropyl alcohol. I use the 90% kind but anything from 70 or up will work 👍
@@greenhowze Thx so much :)
Good stuff! Really enjoy watching your videos, I just wish my hands could follow your instructions on painting!
Chill vibes are the best
Love you guys, please take care of yourselves so you don't burn out!
This is pretty much it! I follow the same procedure, and I even enjoy it almost more than painting.
For glue its Revell plastic glue for me (also because of the needle applicator. Tipp: burn it out with a lighter if it clogs..), and gap filling with milliput or vallejo's plastic putty.
Maybe the only thing I do differently is check for sub assemblies if possible. Makes painting so much easier. But for the easy fit models from the starter sets its almost impossible...
Thanks for sharing. Great tips for everyone!
Thank for this video, I can never seem to get rid of moulde lines
For plastic test tamiya extra thin cement. Its the best I have found: mainly because of the packaging (there is a very thin brush (that is durable) than is very precise). It can be use to fill gap.
What a lovely chilled vid perfect for a chilled monday!!!
i zenithal highlight with first chaos black then mix in the Airbrush Vallejo grey Panzergrey Primer with some drops white Ink from the top then more white... you can not get smoother results no splatter anymore ;)
Can't wait to get my hands on them
I really like the Tamiya super fine glue. You get a big ass bottle and the cap has a little brush for precise application. But since it's a thin liquid it evaporates quite quickly if you aren't kinda thick with it
Ive found that using fewer and thicker coats of paint is a great way to cover up mold lines
I hope that the milliuput in alcohol works for me when I get around to trying
Byda time I get around to using my liquid green stuff it's usually completely dried out
@@samvimes117 I hate liquid gs 😄
While I love your more advanced videos I'm a bigger fan of these simple ones and seeing more of the "how to." Love your content!
Oh damn i just got my first minis like, 2 days ago damn nice timing
Keep it up. We like your content man!!
Nice, nice tutorial vid. These I do like :)
Okay, I won't be a nub ... I won't prep my miniatures
you should take a look at revell's plastic cement.
miliput and isopropyl, I cant wait to try that.
@squidmar I've started using airbrush black primer from Vallejo with a brush for priming. It's a bit slow but the paint shrinks when it dries so it's super durable and extremely thin when it dries.
Have you thought about, Balsa wood filler? super soft and easy to work with, softer than the plastic, so ideal for feathering.
