    I love how you make the slate tiles :-) I use pine cone pieces for most of my roofs, as I make mostly Halfling/Elf type scenery, but also use cut up cardboard plant pots for slates, as they are smooth on the outside, and rough on the inside, so are reversible. I simply MUST try making the Goo From Sprues you use, just to see what I can do with it for myself :-) LOVE all your sprue tutorials, as I have a LOT of them lying around, as I collect them from my gaming mates and figure painting service customers, so now have lots of inspiring ideas to try out thanks to you :-D

    If I might make a suggestion, if you want to expand into doing this fulltime it might be good to look at people like Midwinter Minis who have achieved that through patreon and stuff. You could also go further down the art patreon route with rewards like uncut painting processes and things where you explain or help people through painting and modelling since apart from lore videos a lot of people are looking for those really big models or armies as well as beginning tips and tricks to help them start painting well. Simple vids on colour washing and techniques like that could do well but I’m not sure

  • @Chinahat242
    @Chinahat242 3 роки тому

    Having the planes reminds me of slab construction in pottery, essentially you can use that to start building any basic geometry along your sprue frames you made in previous videos.
    You could use the syringe to draw things onto the sheet pan you couldn't otherwise make by just dripping it off a clothes hanger. That way you could create rings and therefore chains. Just spitballing, anyway cool videos keep up the great work!

    Love this build! Really want to get into making more of my own pieces. One thing you can do for the base is add actual stones and sand (before priming) and/or use textured paints (tiny bits of grit in it), then dry brush and then grass - gives it a real natural look. And also add a bit of felt on the bottom of the CD (which is a brilliant idea for a base).
