Star Trek Away Team: Seriously Simple Painting - Drybrushing & Contrast [How I Paint Things]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 сер 2024
- Contrast, Speedpaint, and other 'one coat' solutions are bringing a lot of people to the painting table who might previously have been too nervous to give the hobby a shot. Sometimes the point of painting isn't necessarily to create a gorgeous piece of art, but to have something visible on the table so everyone knows what it is - and oh boy, nobody is going to say they can't see an away team painted this bright!

Great video -- simple process and useful tips 😃👍🏼
Tally ho Splendid miniatures old top! Quite delightful I dare say! do hope you will paint more things star trek!
Thank you , Troy .

Best tutorials on the internet
Really love these models and the paint job on them. It would be fantastic to see you do a video on fixing contrast paint mistakes. Over splash, a way-ward line, things like that. It seems like it would be very difficult and never match, but I'm sure you have encountered it and come up with genius solutions. ;)
Ha, I wish! My genius suggestion ordinarily is to just go back to the base colour you're painting over, dab a little where you need to correct and then... tickle on just a touch of Contrast with some medium to colour correct.
Nice results with a very small array of colours!
I added speedpaints to my toolkit this year and am pleased with how much they actually can help speed up the process. The modiphius minis have been in a storage case since I built them a few years ago, but I think you’ve inspired me to dig them out and get them painted up soon!
Any plans for painting some Borg soon? I’d love to see your strategy for tackling something with a near-monochrome palette.
The figures look great! The sculpts are very well done and they look very realistic. Thanks for sharing this.
They look bloody ace m8ty.
I always enjoy your painting and I'm thrilled to see you doing some TOS stuff!
Hi Sonic. What a brilliant refreshing video. A simple but very effective method. So good to see Star Trek minis, I'm so excited to see them, "I cannae take it any more captain". But seriously, great job as usual. Thanks for bringing variety to the channel. Kind regards Ian 🖌️🖌️🖌️
Glad you enjoyed it! These were, in the end, a lot of fun. Once I'd let go of that expectation of how I wanted them to look and just had fun with the process, they turned out to be a lot more satisfying than I'd hoped. I was about ready to pack it in and stop recording half way through, but I figured there's a lesson in there for someone that might need it; just keep going!
So, a very special "slapchop" video then? (lol). Some of the areas look better than others (red shirt / blonde hair) - definitely looking forward to the full sledge version of these......!
Prime, Agrax, Dry Brush and Contrast is a suggestion!
At last Starfleet personnel in 28mm!!!
These look great!
I can confirm this method also works well for Reaper minis in gray or white.
That Andorian skin tone mix would translate perfectly to Chiss too 😉👍
I sure like the Andorian gal, but I doubt that redshirt will be giving thanks Thursday. Ha!
As an engineer he might last a little longer than a security ensign, but... well, it's a brave man that raises his phaser at the bad guy of the week! 😂
Yeah , live long and prosper too Mister Sonic 🖖 !
These are epic minis and you did a great job painting them.
The prevailing wisdom for dry brushing is now to not dry off your brush on paper towel as it removes the moisture and leaves pigment which makes streaks. Instead some sort of dry palette is better.
The prevailing wisdom for a good long while was paper towel, until someone started selling dry palettes. 😅 I've been told an awful lot the last few months that I'm suddenly behind the curve, but there's more than one way to mitigate those streaks - or to just work around the effect.
Nice work. Big fan of the Instar varnish
I too have been using this technique quite a lot recently and I like it a lot! I typically use Nuln Oil rather than Agrax Earthshade but the intent and effect are pretty similar. The technique shares the basic goal of giving Contrast more contrast with things like zenithal undercoats and Slapchop but in my experience this one works better for models that you want to be brightly coloured. This technique's preparatory stages tends to result in an overall lighter effect than zenithal primes or Slapchop's method of drybrushing up from a black undercoat and that translates to the finished models - as you demonstrate here!
I’ve also been using this quite a lot, especially on minis for games with hordes, like Zombicide. I suck at dry brushing so white prime and black shade became my workaround. I try to be more careful with the wash so I don’t need to fix all too much so I can go straight to Speedpaints/ Contrasts. Gives great results pretty fast :D
WOW !!! Those look great. Call me old fashion, but I haven’t been a big fan of contrast paints . I guess it because I have so many other paints. I just switched from oil enamels to acrylic paints after 40 years of model making (yes I’m old,mid 50s). But you make it look so easy , I have used some contrast paints on horses, they came out great. Enough about me. Keep up the great work, your videos are an inspiration to everyone. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. Cheers 🍻🍻🍻🍻
I understand - they're definitely a kind of Marmite! Some folks really don't like the style or the results, where others swear by them. I've enjoyed using them for some projects over others, but I'm glad to hear at least the horses came out the way you'd like. ✌ I got my start with Humbrol enamels back in the day, too, and I do not miss those long dry times or having to rinse my brush with turps!
Love TOS, and this is a great finish you got there.
Also if I am not an huge ST fan, these minis are really beautiful, being originally in classic 28mm scale helps a lot for mixing with others' producers'minis, looking how successful are all these plastic sets, someone should try to make a plastic, multipart box of the original ST, one male and one female, with various poses & heads. Given Stargrave 's success, imagine how such a set would be an hit!
Killer job sir 🤌🏼🤌🏼🔥🔥
Very cool. Thanks for sharing. 😎🇨🇦
A very satisfying video. 🎉
I think he's showing us his Space Station Zero crew LOL
Now we need rules for Star Wars: Legion for Star Trek landing parties! We need this. I need this.
Stargrave or Space Station Zero spring to mind, or something like Wylie Games' Galactic Heroes would do the job.
They look great. I've been wanting to get and Trek miniatures but I don't really "need " them. I'm gonna have to find a game to use them in so I can justify the purchase to myself. 🤣
Psh, 'need.' That's a dirty word! 😂
I wonder if you would consider doing a side by side painting session of a figure, my preference would be ww2, one with acrylic paint the other using purely contrast. I think it would be an interesting video and I suspect create a lively debate. Thanks.
I've done something fairly similar a while back, though not exactly the same colours: ua-cam.com/video/DZ29VF0Df64/v-deo.html I think it does still go a way to showing on very similar miniatures just how different the style looks.
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio ok thanks I’ll watch.
Wonderful stuff. I’m going to try this myself. Any Next Generation in the queue? Thank you!
A slap chop video without the clickbait title! They look awesome.
The technique itself predates the goofy name by a few years... 😅 If it's helping people to find something useful, all the better, but I've been doing this since not long after the Contrast line came along. The Rusted Claw Genestealer Cult stuff is probably the best example of it, they came out *super* well by comparison!
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio A few hundred years actually. Raphael was a master of it, just not on toy soldiers.
You reckon if we'd gotten him some Space Marines...?
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio If someone were to scrape a layer off The Fire in the Borgo, there would be genestealer cult underneath!
Any chance of some of Modiphius’s TNG and/or Klingon minis?
The Klingons at some point, and the TNG crew whenever they're released as STLs. I'd want to be able to rescale them to match these guys, my scenery and such.
Seeing how black the Black Legion contrast paint is, is there even a reason to get it when i.e. Vallejo makes a great regular black for way cheaper?
Mostly it's in ease of application. The Contrast stuff can be used straight from the pot, and since I'm aiming here for something at the absolute basic end of painting, having that rather than needing to thin down the black paint a little is the main consideration.
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio oh, so it's basically a more user friendly black for when speed is more important than the price :)
have you noticed Agrax Earthshade dries with a glossy finish anymore? do you have any suggestions for other brown washes?
Mine didn't seem to dry glossy from this new pot. If it does, it ultimately doesn't really matter - everything gets varnished anyway, so whether it's matt or glossy is of no consequence once the miniature is finished.
would you consider painting an Enterprise ??? ANY?? A B C D or E???omg please make it so
Way ahead of you! ua-cam.com/video/kE-r-p_gxp8/v-deo.html
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio not the wizkids ...an AMT one...1/1400 scale....bigger video for sure...but please..pleaeaeaease!!!!1
Black Primer -> Grey Drybrush -> White Drybrush
Grey/White Primer -> Brown/Black Shade -> White Drybrush
Gives the same effect right?
Not really. The true black to grey to white will give you a far darker finish overall, with deeper shadows and fewer 'highlights' from the Contrast. Some people like the look, but it's a very different finish to starting from white and shading.
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio It reminded me of slap chop or Zenethial primes.
Star Wars Legion size. Yah, I dare you to take the Andorian in place of Leia or some other female leader, or a man for Obi-Wan or something else. Start that fight!
I see the magic "instar" word and I am back and ready to evangelise. dear reader: get Water+. get whatever else you like out of their range too (they're all very good and quite environmentally conscious!) but GET WATER+
live long, and prosper, Troy
