Anyone got some hand painting tutorial videos they recommend? I wanna learn some more dumb techniques, but I can't watch the 30 minute silent videos with text overlayed

A lot of them are "how to paint this specific Warhammer guy the way he looks on the box" but there's also videos on how to do different patterns or weathering techniques. They all walk you through step by step in a very understandable way.

There's also Goobertown Hobbies, Pete the Wargamer (Who does some vehicles too), and Sonic Sledgehammer for minis. For scale models, there's guys like Plasmo and Night Shift - their stuff is mostly airbrush, but the weathering steps use different brush painting techniques.

I also disagree with him w/r/t using lovely brushes as a beginner but your mileage may vary

Just finished the legs to my RG Sazabi. This is quite the chonky boy.

I wasn't even a huge fan of the Sazabi until I could see it from all angles. It does such a good job of looking intimidating in motion. On a completely unrelated note I picked up some Lotos and I'm a) charmed at how tiny they are b) weirded out by getting 2 dudes in one package

I like my Lotos but I wish they had bigger feet. Theyre very top heavy.

About brushes: I think there's far to little said about them, and they're treated far to preciously. There's a solid midrange of brushes, between the "ohmygod it won't even pick up paint" or "leaves 80% of it's brissles on the model" and $50 per brush, made by naked artisians at 72.1 deg and 41% humidity of the finest camel hair harvested from 8 month old calves..... The "kind" of brush, matters more. Is it stiff? Is it supple? is it round? Is it flat? Where do you want to use those? How often should you be wetting it? etc, etc, etc.... These aren't discussed nearly enough. My experience with brushes comes from my mom. She painted professionally for most of her working life. Flowers, and houses mostly. For commission. She.. made a living at it. And did very little of what I see people do to protect their brushes. Never did I see a brush clipped up in a cup. Never did I see a brush much more than washed in rinse cup water. But brushes were NEVER left with paint in them. Brushes were often left in cups. (my most common two brushes are currently IN my cup upstairs... They're not wooden so i'm not worried about it..) Arcsquad12 posted:I like my Lotos but I wish they had bigger feet. Theyre very top heavy. I've bought that kit.. four times now. Attempting to perfect it. The knees are hilarious, and kill the kit. Also, the parts fit on the legs is... iffy at best. There's currently 5 of them built around here, and two more in a sealed box... They are going to be my first custom gundam. I am going to do at least one in snow-camo colors. And maybe a stealth-ish one. I'm quite amused by the idea that one of the smallest gundam, is ALSO the one that carries a squad of troops in the back. And has one of the smallest reactor outputs.

 Can we use discord as an image host or does that cause problems? (Been a while since I posted here)

Imagine getting a bunch of people who are unfamiliar with Gundam, showing them this kit from, like, 30 feet away, and asking what they think it is

In the thumbnail I can see it as some kind of avant garde flower arrangement, or maybe a model of the Challenger explosion.

Speaking of, is the funnel missile effect box a one-time thing? I want one, but I'm not sure I want to buy now.

wdarkk posted:Speaking of, is the funnel missile effect box a one-time thing? I want one, but I'm not sure I want to buy now. It's unclear. They've been playing it pretty fast and loose with their special editions recently. It could be semi-regular, it could get 2 waves and never be seen again. It'll almost definitely show up as a Gundam Base "Exclusive" in a year's time for twice the price with a ~special coating~ though.

Is it just the effect parts, or does it have the Xi and Penelope kits too? My impression was that it was everything, and I’d kind of expect the effect parts by themselves at some point if so.

Mark Simmons' illustrations were unique if a little simplistic, but his rendition of the Penelope was my favourite.
