Squarespace my painting has hit a bit of
0:04
a slump recently and I want to push
0:06
myself to improve last year I spent a
0:08
lot of time learning some of the basics
0:09
of airbrushing and that's definitely
0:11
helped but right now I've got two high
0:12
painting armies just sitting there
0:14
Gathering dust definitely not the best
0:16
way to stay motivated so instead of
0:18
trying to force myself through another
0:19
massive project I'm switching it up with
0:21
a kill team and trying out a new
0:23
painting resource that I've never used
0:24
before will it work I'm painting the
0:27
Angels a des kill team from the starter
0:29
set and I'm following a PDF guide for
0:30
the first time the PDF in question is
0:32
the Raptor's painting guide from the
0:34
mighty brush if you don't know who the
0:35
mighty brush are they do awesome
0:37
transfers and really cool PDF guides as
0:40
well I'm only going to show the first
0:42
page on screen since it's a paid
0:44
resource Link in the description #
0:46
notsponsored but flicking through I
0:48
already love how well laid out it is
0:50
step by step clear images no pausing and
0:52
rewinding like a video it sounds
0:55
promising so let's get cracking and see
0:57
if this is actually the superior way to
0:59
learn Prim up green and it wasn't long
1:01
before I made my first boo boo so I
1:04
built these before I decided they were
1:05
going to be Raptors and I got a bit over
1:07
excited with my priming and then
1:09
realized that I needed to uh paint their
1:12
heads white so I've gone in popped them
1:14
off resprayed a few uh bits and Bobs and
1:18
then now it's time for the shoulder pads
1:20
and the heads the wonderful thing about
1:22
pushfit is I can just take them off the
1:23
model but I kind of want to get the
1:26
right orientation so everything sort of
1:28
looks correct
1:30
so I think I might just take the
1:31
backpacks off and then mask everything
1:34
else around it I've got some Putty uh
1:37
they use tape in the uh PDF but don't
1:41
think I've got any so I love masking
1:43
putty it's so fun to use cutting it into
1:46
strips with a knife helped me get a nice
1:48
clean edge around the shoulder pads then
1:50
it was back to the airbrush for base
1:52
coat highlight and another highlight try
1:54
my best not to overspray onto any of the
1:56
green areas right the shoulder pads are
1:58
done I've got feelings about them I was
2:01
having some aish issues I haven't really
2:02
sort of given it a proper good clean in
2:05
a while so spluttering in just a bit
2:08
iffy uh at points I've definitely
2:10
oversprayed on uh this one that I'm
2:13
looking at the other ones I think I was
2:15
a bit more robust with the tape so I
2:16
might go in with
2:20
um so I might go back in with the well I
2:22
am going to go back in with the primer
2:24
and just touch up just with a brush I
2:26
think um because if I use an airbrush I
2:29
will will have the same things happen to
2:31
me I think
2:35

save 10% off your first purchase of a
4:06
website or
4:07
domain head shot I'll go in with the
4:10
airbrush and just cover it up quickly
4:13
now that's a good show and that actually
4:16
went fine peeling off the putty was so
4:19
satisfying seriously unmasking and
4:22
seeing everything come together is one
4:25
of the best bits of painting in my
4:27
opinion I say everything come together I
4:29
haven't done any everything yet then
4:30
onto something else I've never tried
4:32
before liquid mask since this is a very
4:34
airbrush heavy tutorial that helps
4:36
protect the white that you just painted
4:39
whilst you're airbrushing the armor
4:41
obviously if you're doing it by hand you
4:42
wouldn't have to do any of this as
4:43
recommended I used a terrible brush
4:46
because this stuff dries fast and it can
4:48
Trash your bristles now on to my
4:50
favorite part painting the armor well
4:52
apart from me messing up the airbrushing
4:54
one or two times despite that I loved
4:57
this stage the PDF had some great
5:00
highlight placement tips that really
5:02
made a difference that said I definitely
5:05
overdid the Shadows a bit some areas
5:06
ended up way too harsh so I tried to go
5:10
back in and fix the worst Defenders but
5:12
hey time was pressing on and I needed to
5:15
try and get these guys done and again
5:17
one of the most satisfying things you
5:18
can do removing liquid mask is sexy as
5:22
hell a few bits of paint came off all
5:25
the way down to the plastic pretty sure
5:26
I didn't let everything dry quite long
5:29
enough but hey that's just free battle
5:32
damage it's
5:33
[Music]
5:41
fine I'm getting to the point where I
5:43
need to put transfers on and I didn't
5:45
read far enough ahead in the PDF um cuz
5:48
there's cool yellow stripes those are
5:51
transfers uh which I don't have so I'm
5:53
paintting them on by hand so I gloss
5:55
varnished everything I've now painted
5:58
those on I'm not not sure how well you
6:00
be able to see that maybe there we go um
6:03
they're painted on they're shaded I've
6:05
reg glossed them so they're going to dry
6:09
now I need to put the Raptor heads on I
6:10
knew I had some Raptor
6:12
transfers but looking at the sheet now
6:16
they're all white apart from
6:19
two which are black and I need one 2 3 4
6:24
5 6 seven
6:28
blackheads and don't want to put the
6:31
white ones on and have to paint over
6:32
them um but luckily Jeff said he's got
6:35
some so I'm going to jump in the car go
6:38
and pay him a visit and hopefully come
6:40
back with some more wrapped
6:43
heads transfer is next didn't destroy a
6:47
single one
6:49
Sensational I used micros microsol and
6:52
all that business there's tons of videos
6:54
out there if you don't know what that is
6:56
[Music]
7:00
then it was watch time and for those of
7:02
you with Keen eyes you might recognize a
7:04
certain enamel product in use here I
7:06
always love using it streaking grind
7:10
[Music]
7:16
awesome at this point I had to improvise
7:18
a bit I didn't have all the same paints
7:20
listed uh in the PDF so I picked some
7:22
similar colors and had to mix up my own
7:25
for like the second highlight and stuff
7:27
like that few Edge highlights some
7:29
metallic
7:30
and we are done honestly I think these
7:35
are some of the best Space Marines I've
7:37
ever painted the recipe is great and I
7:40
would absolutely recommend it along with
7:42
all the cool transfers that the mighty
7:44
brush sells but rpdf is the best way to
7:48
learn for Me Maybe not there were times
7:52
where I really wanted to see how
7:53
something was done in like a visual form
7:56
but on the other hand I love being able
7:58
to zoom in on the images and not having
8:01
to pause and Rewind so that is a massive
8:04
massive strength of this medium I think
8:06
a downside to the PDF medium is you
8:10
can't see things being done you have
8:13
these wonderful step-by-step images but
8:15
when you're looking at those and then
8:16
looking what you've done and you're kind
8:18
of weighing them up together
8:20
unfortunately I guess sometimes the
8:21
difference is just skill or lack of in
8:24
my department but occasionally I found
8:26
myself following along as best as I
8:29
could and still not quite achieving the
8:32
results that I wanted to maybe a PDF and
8:35
video combo would be the ultimate method
8:38
I think there's quite a few guys that
8:39
have patrons that that do that which is
8:41
really good there's obviously a
8:42
difference between mine and the mighty
8:44
brushes results the difference as I
8:47
mentioned earlier is uh is very much
8:50
skill and practice um I second guessed
8:53
myself a lot during this process did I
8:56
over highlight cover up too much of my
8:59
midtone were my Shadows too dark and too
9:03
big did the streaking Grime cover up too
9:06
much of my airbrushing work I went a bit
9:08
model blind partway through I think it
9:10
was actually showing them off to Jeff
9:12
that inspired me to keep going and
9:14
regardless of how close they were are
9:15
not just to press on and get them
9:18
finished cuz if they don't look exactly
9:20
the same they're still cool regardless
9:22
for just four quid I'll let some awesome
9:23
tips and I've got my first painted kill
9:26
team out of it so I absolutely will take
9:29
that thank you so much for watching hope
9:30
you enjoyed the video please go and
9:32
download the Raptor PDF from the mighty
9:34
brush if it's something that you think
9:35
you might find useful they have loads of
9:37
transfers and stuff as well definitely
9:38
recommend checking them out thank you to
9:40
all our patrons you keep the lights on
9:41
and help us keep producing these videos
9:44
that is all for now we'll see you in the
9:45
next one and I think I'm going to spend
9:47
the next few hours trying to unclog my
9:50
airbrush
