your not kidding about the reaper stuff, i wanted to build an Undead Army based on the World of Warcraft Scourge, i got about 20 figures from them for less than $100 bucks. I'll have to watch the rest of your vids, i need to learn to do glowing blue eyes
Great video, although I recommend using washes after the main base coat. That way you have greater control over the highlight colours as they aren't altered by the wash. Doing this really makes the model pop.
The "fingers" on a bat wing are called digits. Also, the bony structures in a bird's wing are called digits. Therefore, one could assume that the bony "fingers" of a dragon wing could, in fact, be called "digits." Just for your edification.
First all very nice video! He looks amazing! I was wondering is there anyway you can list the Paint Numbers? I am still learning what and how to mix paints and finding same paints you used without the numbers is proving more difficult then I thought.
Great channel. 2 questions: 1) What glaze do you use with the ink washes? I've seen your magic wash vid. Is it Pledge? 2) What do you thin the paint with for the airbrush? Water or another medium?? (it would be great if you could do more content on airbrushing! Specifically with Vallejo paint.) Thanks.
They haven't answered, but I would always varnish models, no matter the brand. For Bones specifically, you also need to prime them first. Sometimes they need a wash with soapy water first to clean off the mold release agent. If you try priming a piece and see that the primer beads up and/or shrinks while still wet, it needs to be cleaned.
+Shockwave Drybrushing is a bit crude when factoring the affects of overhead lighting. If you don't know what that means, don't worry about it. Dryrbushing is fine, just not always the best method since it highlights just the raised edges and not necessarily where the light hits.
+Doctor Faust's Painting Clinic I kind of do. In your tutorials you use you fingers to describe light.over head. I'm starting to kind of understand. I'll go back to that video and try to make sense of it all. Thank you
+redgreen09 Wash them with rubbing alcohol before primer. Still an occasional issue with them being too glossy even after a flat varnish, as you may notice on this project.
+Doctor Faust's Painting Clinic wel thanks did exset this so fast do do with all em ? and dragon scails shud have a sheen to em my scails are like ten fold shels and my breath death smog from the hobit
I would paint a model for you and send it back. I would do my very best to get these effects. I would only ask for payment for the return shipping-- I just love painting and basing minis so much that I would do it for free. If you give me your email address, I can send you some pictures of minis I've done so you can see if you like them. I use Vallejo and games workshop paints and effects. I would base it for you too if you want.
As for, "Show up on the table once, get killed of, never seen again", I do this stuff for display, not gaming. (exception being Battletech mecha). Do it for the art, even if it is a quick job.
I've been wondering what to do with my own Cinder. I primed it and it's just sitting there gathering dust. Time to fire up the airbrush!Also, the music was a bit too loud in places. You speak kinda low at times and the music runs over you.
Great work!!! I love the orange brown effect you did on his wings! Makes me want to go out and buy one of them! Thanks for sharing
The wings came out perfect.
Looking good. I also like how the sculptor of this figure recognizes that wings are, in fact, arms or their equivalent.
Buen trabajo de pintura.
Good painting work.
Top quality of video and model. Love this channel so much :)
Great work on him buddy!
been looking for an excuse to paint a larger model..... thanks man!
man are you the best, are you my inspiration
Very nice Dragon.
You are inspiring me to get my butt in gear and paint something!

Nice work. I wonder how you'd fare panting up one of those old, old lead dragon figures from Grenadier.
Wich colour do you use for the mouth and the tongue ?

Nice work and a great video mate :)
How do you handle the "shiny" factor for the ink washes.
It looks like for the majority of the Paint Job, the figure seems super slick and glossy.
Use a matt varnish to finish the mini.
SIMPLEMENTE HERMOSO!!!
perhaps a dumb question but did you prime in black or white???
I think black.
First all very nice video! He looks amazing! I was wondering is there anyway you can list the Paint Numbers? I am still learning what and how to mix paints and finding same paints you used without the numbers is proving more difficult then I thought.
Did you have any problems with pinning the Bones material? I am thinking of making a weapon from a paperclip and inserting it into a Bones Figs hand.
+Neal Leffler It's like drilling into Silly Putty. Use extreme caution and go slow.

+Stephen J 1) Depnds. Normally just water. Sometime I add some Glaze Medium. 2) Vallejo Airbrush thinner.
Very cool!
Would an air brush be required or could one do this with a brush?
Regular brush is fine. Airbrush just makes doing the basecoat quicker.
Still super useful video. Do you varnish the bones models?
They haven't answered, but I would always varnish models, no matter the brand. For Bones specifically, you also need to prime them first.

What did you use for his base? Whole dragon looks amazing.
+drazuel Piece of wood from a craft store.
Would it be ok to dry brush his scales? Is there a reason why you didn't? I'm just trying to learn and understand. Great work thank you!
+Shockwave Yes, but it's not as accurate.
+Doctor Faust's Painting Clinic what do you mean? More detailed? I appreciate your reply.

do you use a retarder or thinner with your paints when brushing? thanks
Do you have a video where you explain "tide marks?"
+T.D. Williamson ua-cam.com/video/vuTCEzyZ50o/v-deo.html
Excellent!
Have you seen the "Dragonslayer" kit from Pegasus? This made me think to ask.
+ssgtslick Yes.
+Doctor Faust's Painting Clinic :) Okay, what did you think? I was thinking of investing.
Haven't looked at it closely, so I got no opinion.
Amazing...If I send you a model will you paint it like this and send it back? I will pay you

Doctor... what's the name of song you use in the opening? (the first seconds of your videos)
also... nice job!
+Juan Milanese MST3k bumper intro.
ahhh... cool! thanx!
yeah it sounded like something i knew XD
And I'm still waiting for second part of AT-ST project...

Kerbal space program music? 😀
It's actually free music released under creative commons license that ksp used. I really need to play that game again :) also awesome video as always.
Enfach nur geile arbeit
this is the one you gave to critical role!
Which episode did they receive this?
The model is named Cinder not Ember. :)
+DM Brad Aww crap.
