hey I'm peachy
0:02
and a long time ago in a galaxy far far
0:05
away I once had hair
0:07
welcome to the painting phase
0:10
[Music]
0:12
so this video was voted by our patrons
0:15
as the next video to make so if you want
0:17
to hand or a say in what we paint then
0:20
subscribe to our patreon account we've
0:22
got all sorts of perks such as behind
0:24
the scenes Discord we also have the
0:26
opportunity to get feedback on your
0:27
model so if you want some thorough
0:28
feedback then we'll do that as well and
0:31
also you get one-to-one tuition with
0:33
myself for two hours as well lovely
0:38
I won't make tea for you though that'll
0:40
be impossible remotely I'd love to eat
0:42
but I can't now before we begin painting
0:44
it's worth pointing out that when it
0:46
comes to this guide we're going to be
0:47
starting off by getting the models paint
0:48
up to a certain point ready for the
0:50
tabletop and then after that we'll add
0:52
some extra details to make them look a
0:54
little bit more Swanky if you like now
0:56
the undercoats here I've used mechanical
0:58
standard gray it's not really massively
1:00
necessary for k2so however it is useful
1:04
When painting Cassian so if you don't
1:06
have gray spray whatever you've got and
1:08
then just base coat it and mechanical
1:09
standard Gray
1:11
[Music]
1:14
start my cassium first of all we're
1:17
going to use rack off flesh and we're
1:18
going to do a heavy dry brush all over
1:20
paying special attention to the face and
1:22
gloves
1:26
[Music]
1:32
however if you want to you can always
1:34
layer this instead like you can see here
1:36
this will act as a pre-highlight before
1:38
moving on to adding any Shades or
1:39
contrasts
1:41
[Music]
1:48
now all I'm doing here is adding storm
1:49
fiend straight from the pot for
1:51
cassian's jacket if you get any of this
1:53
on the belts and gloves just apply some
1:54
rack off flesh to those areas just to
1:56
tidy back up
1:58
[Music]
2:04
thank you
2:08
[Music]
2:16
[Music]
2:23
using aggress tune straight from the pot
2:24
we should apply this to the trousers and
2:27
belt
2:28
foreign
2:30
[Music]
2:35
s down here I'm looking at one part
2:37
contrast to two parts water making it
2:39
quite thin this will be perfect for the
2:41
fair collar the gloves and those straps
2:43
going down his arms giving it a more
2:44
subtle cream look
2:49
[Music]
2:52
now I'm going to apply black Legion to
2:54
the boot and backpack as it dries you'll
2:56
see some of those rack off highlights
2:57
push through so zero highlighting
2:59
required I'm also going to pick out
3:01
cassian's facial hair and his hair with
3:03
black Legion as well
3:04
[Music]
3:12
foreign
3:15
belt buckle and details on the backpack
3:18
are all being picked out with iron hand
3:19
Steel
3:21
[Music]
3:35
now to add some depth to the jacket and
3:38
metallics I'm going to shade this with
3:39
known oil if you wish to you could
3:41
always thin down black Legion if you
3:43
don't have normal I use it because it's
3:44
the perfect consistency for what I need
3:47
[Music]
3:50
foreign
3:57
part contrast to two parts water I'm now
4:00
applying this to the face apply a second
4:01
coat if you wish to now after I applied
4:04
the second coat I still needed a third
4:05
so I'm just applying a third one here
4:07
because sometimes depending how much you
4:08
thin it down it can make a difference
4:09
now at this point casting is ready for
4:11
the table top before we can basting him
4:13
we need to get k2so up to the same point
4:16
as well
4:17
like Cassian I'm going to pre-highlight
4:19
K with a dry brush here I'm going to
4:21
pre-metalify him up using iron hand
4:24
Steel
4:28
I've done it this way as Kate and the
4:29
other security drawers have a strange
4:31
tone on their armor that sits somewhere
4:32
between gray metallic and black now
4:34
after some practice this is the best way
4:36
I found to do the armor for K but if you
4:38
have any better suggestions then tell us
4:40
in the comments now here I've thinned
4:41
down black Legion with water to a 50 50
4:44
ratio and applying that to Kay's armor
4:46
[Music]
4:51
again with it being thinned down you'll
4:53
notice those metallic highlights are
4:55
popping through as it dries yet still
4:56
maintaining that dark gray black feel
5:04
next up is to add some subtle weather
5:06
into K2 this we're going to use some
5:09
Sponge chicken it's a little like dry
5:10
brushing so dip some sponge in the pot
5:12
remove as much as you can then just
5:14
gently dab across the armor if you do
5:16
find to put too much on just get back
5:17
over with some black Legion and start
5:19
again
5:23
now I'm going to add some depth to the
5:25
gun and knock back that armor with known
5:26
oil
5:27
again just be mindful of pulling when
5:29
you do this
5:30
[Music]
5:33
foreign
5:36
next up is picking out that yellow
5:37
detail on the arm joint and for this I'm
5:39
using avaland sunset
5:47
and Kate also has a little blue button
5:48
on his chest starting off we're going to
5:50
pick that out using corex white
5:52
and then just paint over with stormfiend
5:55
now that we've got k2s out to a certain
5:57
point like Cassian they're ready to be
5:58
based and play games with now I'm going
6:00
for a kind of a Jetta theme Here the
6:02
great thing is I'm actually getting two
6:04
texture paints and whilst they're wet
6:05
mix them together so I'm going to show
6:07
you how that looks when it dries as well
6:11
the first thing I'm going to do is
6:12
neatly dollop agler Nerf to the base
6:14
I'll add a bit of water as we get close
6:15
to the feet then dump some more around
6:16
to help build up that texture
6:18
the reason why I add some water is it
6:20
just makes it a lot easier and flows
6:22
better so I don't end up messing up
6:23
those boots
6:24
and whilst the angle on Earth is still
6:26
wet I'm now going to add some dollops of
6:27
Armageddon dust this will firstly mix in
6:30
and blend with a previous texture but
6:32
we'll add a different texture to the
6:33
overall base too when it's dry
6:37
now to add some definition to the base
6:39
I'm going to thin down aggress jeans
6:40
with some water to a 50 50 ratio
6:43
however if you have some Sarah from
6:45
sepia use that instead with aggress
6:47
change dry what I'm now going to do is
6:48
add some dirt to Cassian and Kay's feet
6:51
and legs I'm thinning down Aggregate and
6:54
just stippling it onto the feet and to
6:56
the legs for a nice dust vibe
6:58
I'm also going to add this to the lower
6:59
part of cassian's coat too
7:01
now I meant to do this before I apply
7:04
the agarose dunes but me and Pat got
7:06
talking and we got carried away eating
7:08
Bourbons so it's up to you if you want
7:10
to do it after before it doesn't really
7:11
make that much difference to the model
7:12
but it was meant to be done before we
7:14
applied the contrast to the base
7:17
my bad now all that's left to do is
7:19
build up that room color with three thin
7:21
coats of Steel Legion drab again you're
7:23
looking at a 50 50 mix of paint and
7:25
water here with the texture dry and
7:27
those rims painted Cassian okay are
7:29
ready to blow stuff up and kill some
7:30
imps
7:32
however
7:33
my phone went off
7:36
we could put that on silent
7:38
if you're enjoying this video don't
7:40
forget to hit the like And subscribe
7:41
button because that just really helps
7:42
support our Channel now if you want to
7:45
take your Cassian and k2so to the next
7:48
level
7:49
hang on because you can be in for a bit
7:51
of a ride not much of a ride it's just a
7:53
few highlights to add but they'll look
7:54
cool so again start with casting first
7:56
we're going to highlight those gloves
7:58
and sleeve stripes and for this we'll be
7:59
using corex white
8:03
[Music]
8:14
now you'll notice I have got some white
8:16
into those recesses of those sleeves and
8:18
it looks a bit messy so what I'm going
8:19
to do here is get some of that thin
8:21
aggro students and just drop that back
8:22
in it's great for that you will make
8:24
mistakes as you go on but you know you
8:26
can always just tie it back up like I'm
8:27
doing here we're now going to highlight
8:29
cassian's face using more gas bone again
8:31
I'm just picking out the nose the brow
8:33
cheeks not going too mad
8:37
now I was watching the movie the other
8:39
night and I noticed that Cassian has a
8:41
little radio thing on his right lapel so
8:44
what we're going to do is just apply
8:45
some Avalon Sunset because it's got a
8:47
little yellow stripe on it and then
8:48
we're going to start highlighting all
8:49
the black using storm so that's things
8:52
like the backpack The holster if you
8:55
want to you can always pick out the hair
8:59
I'm just going to use that mix of Golem
9:01
and flesh for my wet palette just to
9:02
knock back those lips because I think
9:03
they just look a little bit too bright
9:07
yeah
9:10
and finally what we're now going to do
9:11
is highlight that base using more gas
9:13
bone this is a subtle dry brush and you
9:15
can see it's picking out that texture
9:21
now I'm going to move back onto k2so and
9:23
what we're going to do here is start
9:24
highlighting with some iron hand steel
9:26
first of all we're just going to pick
9:27
out those joins around the knees the
9:29
ankles the elbows and then we're just
9:31
going to add some extra little bits of
9:32
chip in here and there just be a little
9:33
bit neater again if you're happy with
9:35
the sponge one leave it as is
9:37
[Music]
9:42
and again we're just going to dry brush
9:43
with more gas bone
9:46
just to finish k2so off a little bit
9:49
more and give them that Galactic Empire
9:50
Vibe I bought some decals off eBay now I
9:54
think they're from America you can just
9:55
check on eBay type in Star Wars Legion
9:57
decals and you'll probably find them
9:58
they're great they're perfect to style
10:00
with Legion models there's all sorts of
10:01
varieties out there and that's what
10:02
we're going to use today
10:05
first up I'm just going to paint a
10:06
little white circle on the shoulders
10:07
using corax white I'm going to try and
10:09
keep this to the decal size that I want
10:11
to use I'm now going to apply hard coat
10:13
to the shoulders this just helps the
10:15
decals slide on nicely and just keeps it
10:17
in place
10:18
now I'm going to cut out that decal as
10:20
the entire sheet is pretty much carrot
10:22
film you'll need to cut as close as you
10:23
can and as you can see here I'm not
10:25
cutting a perfect circle
10:31
[Laughter]
10:37
this is so stupid
10:41
after placing the decals onto some
10:43
tissue paper or paper towel you just
10:45
need to drench it in some water
10:47
I'm just using a brush to do that then
10:49
you want to leave it for around about 30
10:50
seconds to soak in then remove the decal
10:52
from the paper back in and add to the
10:55
desired area
10:58
now if our decal applied to the desired
11:00
area now there's multiple ways here that
11:02
you can do decals I'm just going to do a
11:03
couple of options the first one here is
11:05
the traditional way which I've done when
11:07
I used to work for Workshop which is
11:08
just to apply some hard coat over it and
11:11
then after that I'm just going to put
11:12
some matte varnish that's option one and
11:14
the other option is to use microset and
11:16
Microsoft here I only need to use
11:18
microset because Microsoft's good for
11:19
softening it especially around curved
11:21
areas like Spaceman shoulder pads
11:22
because k2so is quite a flat one we're
11:24
just going to use microset so once
11:26
that's on I'm just going to dab so it
11:27
helps melt it in and then we're just
11:29
going to put some matte varnish over
11:30
that here I'm going to be using thin
11:32
down PVA now thin down PVA when it dries
11:35
is quite matte so I can just get the
11:38
consistency of milk and apply that over
11:40
there as you can see that's two simple
11:42
ways of applying decals to a model so
11:44
you don't have to use it for k2so or
11:47
whatever you can use it for Marines you
11:48
can use it for anything but it's a nice
11:49
simple way of doing it whichever option
11:51
works for you and what you've got at
11:52
home and as you can see our super spy
11:54
Duo are done now you can add more
11:57
details to them if you want to you can
11:58
go a bit more with the highlights on the
11:59
faces the clothing it's entitled to you
12:01
I'm happy at the level they're at and
12:04
it's up to you how you want to take it
12:05
from here
12:10
kill some Imperials now I have a whole
12:12
bunch of links in the description
