welcome back to my pile of shame where i
0:03
a painting noob and videographer try and
0:05
learn how to paint exclusively using
0:08
content on the internet
0:10
[Music]
0:13
this is part two of my road to painting
0:16
a walksmith series you can watch part
0:18
one just up here and in that episode i
0:21
painted up four marines from four
0:24
different creators to try and get to
0:26
grips with how to paint i'm warriors in
0:28
this episode i'm going to take those
0:30
four marines and try and
0:32
smush them together into a scheme that i
0:36
want to paint my warpsmith with i also
0:39
want to try and figure out the best way
0:40
to paint hazard stripes too
0:42
i'm also going to be trying out microset
0:44
and sol for transfers and dirty down
0:47
rust and verdigris for some extra
0:50
weathering everyone's raving about these
0:51
things
0:52
online so like the impression about a
0:54
little boy i am why not anyway i'm
0:57
getting carried away
0:58
build montage
1:31
i've sprayed these either lead belcher
1:33
or black and in a variety of
1:34
sub-assemblies some with weapons
1:36
separate backpack separate or
1:39
everything everywhere i want to try and
1:41
figure out which way i like the best
1:43
because you know i don't know what i'm
1:45
doing and for those of you that have
1:46
watched part one you might remember i
1:48
had a bit of a nightmare with green
1:50
stuff world chrome paint none of that
1:52
this time got the real deal
1:55
so i started from black and i dry
1:57
brushed lead belcher over the top i
1:59
really like the trim of pete the
2:00
wargamer's marine so i wanted to
2:02
replicate that
2:03
but with the armor from juan hidalgo's
2:06
tutorial with the shading and colours
2:09
from duncan's tutorial still with me
2:12
good
2:13
after dry brushing the model and
2:15
preserving it on the trim i filled in
2:17
the panels with a belcher by hand which
2:19
took
2:20
ages i really don't feel like doing that
2:23
again
2:27
[Music]
2:41
using chrome model air was awesome but i
2:43
definitely overloaded my brush once or
2:45
twice and gave this guy a really bright
2:48
ass lesson learned for next time we'll
2:51
be removing some of the excess off the
2:52
brush before going in for the highlights
2:56
[Music]
2:58
taking on the recommendations from all
3:00
of the comments
3:02
here on youtube on tiktok and instagram
3:05
i bought some two millimeter tape to try
3:07
and paint some perfectly straight hazard
3:10
lines
3:11
i had some issues trying to get them
3:13
round the shoulder pad and over the trim
3:16
see some paint got underneath the tape
3:19
but it was really easy to clean up and
3:22
for the most part the results were great
3:25
but are they worth the faff involved
3:28
with putting tape on your marines
3:31
more on that in a bit
3:39
[Music]
3:47
i didn't base any of my miniatures last
3:49
time so for this one i'm following
3:50
duncan rose's martian bases tutorial no
3:54
particular reason i just think martian
3:56
bases are really cool
4:01
i also followed the quick tutorial from
4:02
maverick paints over on his instagram
4:04
reels for the transfers
4:07
using the combination of microset
4:09
microsol they do look great you do get
4:11
that painted on look this was my first
4:13
attempt and
4:14
i think it went pretty well the only
4:17
thing i think i need to work on is the
4:19
gray highlight
4:20
on the black shoulder pad it's
4:23
definitely a bit fat
4:25
here and you can see that the transfer
4:28
sort of poked over a little bit so more
4:30
attention to thinning that down next
4:33
time
4:34
[Music]
4:41
[Music]
4:47
the rust on this model turns out pretty
4:49
good
4:50
but i'm not sure i'm a fan of the
4:53
verdigris more practice perhaps overall
4:56
i'm really happy with this iteration of
4:58
my iron warrior though something i
5:00
definitely got wrong was the shade color
5:04
on the hazard stripes all of these
5:06
tutorials rattling around in my brain i
5:08
mixed up i think wild wood and flayed
5:11
one flesh i used wild wood on this one
5:14
and the results aren't great as you can
5:17
see i couldn't really glaze it
5:19
particularly well
5:21
and
5:22
as it's thinned down it started to
5:24
separate and some parts look like
5:25
they've dried slightly green tried to
5:28
eliminate it by glazing up with with
5:30
yellow but it it it just hasn't really
5:33
worked very well well i've covered it up
5:35
on the leg with some stippling and dry
5:37
brushing of the dust from the base but
5:40
on the shoulder it's particularly
5:42
noticeable
5:43
something else that i chose to do that
5:45
didn't work in my favor was highlighting
5:47
the trim
5:48
gold stupidly it does cover up all of my
5:52
dry brushing work that i'd done earlier
5:53
which was exactly
5:56
the whole point of doing the trim like
5:58
this so that was
6:00
done
6:03
i want to paint the trim last so maybe
6:04
next time i can simulate a dry brush
6:07
after painting the armor
6:10
who knows we'll we'll see what happens
6:12
with this cat out of the way i am
6:14
absolutely set on the silver armor and
6:15
the colours that i've used to shade it
6:17
but i want to decide now on the trim and
6:21
the best way to paint the hazard stripes
6:25
a few people have suggested using a
6:27
pencil to make guidelines on
6:30
the yellow and as you can see here the
6:32
results weren't completely perfect but
6:35
they're way less fast than using the
6:38
tape which i definitely feel like i
6:40
struggled with
6:41
and as i'm going to be weathering these
6:43
stripes and cutting into them i did find
6:46
that as i painted over them with the
6:48
mechanical standard gray and then the
6:49
black templar i could just cut into them
6:52
to straighten them up and i think the
6:55
results afterwards look fantastic i use
6:58
the word fantastic rather loosely
7:01
by my standards i was pleasantly
7:03
surprised by your standards which are
7:05
probably higher than mine with all of
7:06
that fantastic painting experience you
7:08
have
7:10
and then i think this one was a tick
7:12
tock special and somebody
7:14
recommended paint markers or in this
7:17
case a gundam marker i was
7:19
pretty apprehensive about using these in
7:21
case they just sort of like spread
7:24
everywhere over the model and were
7:25
really messy
7:27
but it did turn out all right a little
7:30
tricky to get into some of the
7:31
hard-to-reach places and there were some
7:33
nib marks visible but they weren't too
7:36
bad in a pinch i think these would be
7:39
absolutely incredible for speed painting
7:41
hazard stripes in
7:43
no time at all
7:45
but they're not quite
7:48
the look that i'm going for with the
7:50
finish as it was i was covering it up
7:53
with black templar anyway so i think
7:56
it's gonna be pencil for the win and
7:59
sticking to
8:00
the hazard stripe method from juan
8:03
hidalgo i carried on with the hazard
8:05
stripes and i used some of the flavor
8:07
one flesh and that was definitely the
8:09
right choice to shade down and just make
8:11
that yellow a little bit more orange in
8:13
the shadows so now let's crack on with
8:16
the trim after the success of using
8:18
chrome model air
8:20
for the most part i bought some gunmetal
8:22
grey and not really learning anything
8:25
apparently
8:27
completely framed it all up
8:29
to add insult to injury i spilled a pot
8:32
of contrast everywhere
8:34
heresy for the emperor burn them all
8:36
deviant
8:38
i was trying to simulate using a dry
8:39
bush here trying to make small marks on
8:41
the trim
8:42
but overloading my brush just smudging
8:45
it everywhere when the contrast goes
8:47
over the top it just kind of looks like
8:50
budget tiger stripes
8:52
i did
8:53
a horrific job and this was a complete
8:56
waste of time
8:58
everything about this marine
8:59
unfortunately just kind of didn't work
9:03
so off to the stripping pile for him i
9:08
did however find better results with
9:10
balthazar gold shading it down with the
9:12
silicon grey i then highlighted it back
9:15
up with gold which i think might have
9:17
been slightly too bright but i'll
9:18
address that later on for now i'm just
9:20
going to shut up and crack on with
9:22
painting this guy
9:25
[Music]
10:25
so here we have it my completed marine
10:27
with most of my learnings from
10:29
everything i painted before it i tried
10:30
the verdigris again and i'm not sure i
10:33
could make it work
10:34
it kind of just looks like a blue blob
10:38
and lacks that variation that i managed
10:40
to get in the rust i'm trying to use
10:43
stippling techniques for these
10:46
if anybody has used the verdigris and
10:49
found it
10:51
and found a way to make it work please
10:53
let me know because i am not very good
10:55
and i don't know what i'm doing
10:58
anyway happy with everything else i
11:00
think it's right at the limit of what i
11:03
can paint having put all of the practice
11:05
in for it previously
11:07
perhaps i think i prefer the base from
11:10
the first marine the bigger cracks and
11:13
probably skimped on the iron earth and
11:16
put too much iron crust on this time
11:19
maybe
11:20
i think the rust looks cool shading of
11:22
the hazards happy with everything i feel
11:25
like before i finish this video and
11:27
settle on a final scheme for the
11:29
warpsmith i just want to address the
11:32
highlight on the trim as far as
11:34
sub-assemblies go for what i'm trying to
11:36
do and paint something that is is at the
11:38
limit of my ability
11:40
a full sub-assembly with all the parts
11:42
disassembled i think i'm really going to
11:44
struggle with where to put the
11:45
highlights where to put the shading
11:48
so something like this which is just in
11:50
a few parts
11:52
has done well
11:54
i wish with this guy that i've taken the
11:56
head off so body and backpack has won
11:59
arms and weapons as the other i think
12:01
that seemed to work okay
12:02
i haven't glued the arms on this guy as
12:05
putting them on i didn't want to smear
12:08
glue everywhere so i guess i've just got
12:10
a multi-pose model now
12:12
cheap man's magnetization
12:17
i know i've assembled more marines to
12:19
paint but i think i'm pretty much there
12:21
i just want to look at the trim i used
12:23
the gunmetal to base a spare miniature
12:26
and shaded it down with bacillicone and
12:28
gray like i've decided on and then on
12:31
separate parts of the model i put onto
12:32
the trim nasdrag yellow snaplike leather
12:36
bronze from pro acryl and then balthazar
12:39
gold
12:40
being able to look at the colors
12:41
together was actually really helpful and
12:44
i think i am fully in the balthazar gold
12:48
cap here
12:49
something about that warm
12:51
darker gold color
12:54
does just do it for me over the contrast
12:56
paints and over the bronze
12:59
so separately i painted up two shoulder
13:01
pads shaded them i highlighted one just
13:03
with valverde gold again and then
13:05
another with a balthazar and gold
13:08
mix i think i'm leaning towards the
13:10
darker trim i put a couple of spot
13:12
highlights on it as well
13:14
so there we
13:16
go and that is this video
13:18
done firstly i want to say a huge thank
13:20
you to the four creators whose tutorials
13:24
i followed in the last episode which
13:26
gave me the inspiration to start
13:27
smushing them together and make this
13:30
paint scheme i'm not going to take
13:32
credit for it it's all their hard work
13:34
and skill and i'm just sort of taking
13:36
little bits of it and smushing it
13:38
together like a child pete the wargamer
13:41
the painting coach duncan rhodes and
13:43
juan hidalgo go and subscribe to them
13:46
i'm sure you already are if you're
13:47
watching this but they're all great and
13:49
their work is fantastic and an equally
13:52
large thank you to you uh thank you for
13:55
watching and especially if you watched
13:58
the first episode uh there was loads of
14:00
nice comments on there and suggestions
14:02
of things that i should do i haven't
14:04
quite been able to delve quite as deep
14:06
into this episode because my work and
14:08
life have been
14:09
mega busy so i have had to flake out on
14:12
some
14:13
some bets someone suggested that i
14:15
should try and pay all the trim as a
14:17
hazard stripe which i thought for a
14:18
laugh could be quite funny but alas i do
14:21
not have the time very sorry anyway
14:24
thank you for watching thank you for
14:25
following me along on this silly little
14:27
journey and hopefully i'll see you in
14:30
part three where i begin to paint my
14:33
warpsmith
14:34
see you around
14:38
