this video is sponsored by
0:02
Squarespace so I'm constantly on the
0:04
lookout for that special hobby product
0:08
something that hides my inadequacies as
0:11
a painter whilst making my paint jobs
0:15
better talent in a bottle one might say
0:18
so Jeff came back from adepticon and he
0:21
brought these stencils are they awesome
0:24
or are they a gimmick we're using a
0:26
variety of stencils from anak models we
0:29
bought all all of these ourselves so #
0:32
not sponsored few varieties that you can
0:35
go through but first up is these these
0:38
are your more traditional stencil stick
0:40
them down airbrush over them and you've
0:42
got the pattern underneath literally
0:44
works well on paper how is it on a
0:47
[Music]
0:52
model so to try and test it out I've
0:54
grabbed a wing off of a demon Prince
0:57
nice and big flattish surface so
0:59
hopefully get some decent results after
1:01
giving it a prime and a rough pain job
1:03
let's get cracking immediately the
1:06
biggest pain in the ass is keeping it
1:07
secure on the model I opted for blue Tac
1:11
and even then that didn't work amazingly
1:13
well I was really tempted to cut them to
1:15
shape but that seems like a bit of a
1:18
waste so it was a bit of blue tack bit
1:20
of holding it in place I got the hang of
1:23
it eventually going in with the airbrush
1:25
the results are all right much quicker
1:28
than if I was going to do this by hand
1:30
bit of a faf but I can see that it would
1:33
be worth it if this is the look that
1:36
you're going for there were some
1:37
frustrating points during this where I
1:40
had an airbrush blockage but I was
1:43
holding the stencil on the miniature so
1:46
that really was a bit of a faf to try
1:48
and get it all working but when it did
1:51
it was pretty
1:56
good next up we're going to use
1:58
something a bit smaller model wise and
2:00
that is a crout Jeff asked me if I could
2:02
put some orange speckles on his hounds
2:05
so let's give that a go I've got a
2:07
smaller stencil I'm using some Putty to
2:10
mask off the painting that Jeff's
2:11
already done I don't want to ruin
2:14
everything already on a smaller
2:16
model this was really difficult to try
2:19
and get the stencil over the miniature
2:22
trying to get it flush with the model is
2:25
difficult the paint I'm using it's it's
2:27
got to be thin to go through an airbrush
2:29
but then I'm increasing the risk of
2:31
making mistakes because I'll need to
2:33
build up that color if I go a bit too
2:35
close then the paint might run
2:37
everywhere the difficulty with this
2:38
process that I'm noticing as well is
2:40
you're really covering up the model and
2:43
with this smaller stencil it is actually
2:46
quite difficult to see exactly where you
2:49
need to paint because most of it when
2:51
you look at it is stencil being able to
2:54
see what you're painting is probably
2:57
quite important results subtle and a
3:01
fair bit of bleeding subtlety and that
3:04
is is generally on me I think there's a
3:07
bit of a line from the masking that I
3:09
used as well so I sort of tried to sort
3:11
that out a bit I found this a lot harder
3:15
on the smaller models on the website
3:18
I've seen them get great results on
3:20
little tyranids and stuff like that I'm
3:22
happy to concede defeat on this one I
3:25
think I would just want to paint those
3:29
dots on with the brush I think it'd be a
3:31
quicker and easier way of getting the
3:35
results that I was
3:37
after did you do it yes I did I stole
3:43
their website those fools tell me about
3:46
it it's exceptional they started a
3:49
completely personalized website with a
3:51
new guided design system square space
3:54
blueprint choose from professionally
3:57

4:09

4:11
optimized SEO tools so you show up more
4:14

4:17
you want good what else did those two
4:21
buffoons create they have the ability to
4:24
take flexible payments they've made
4:27
checkouts seamless for their customers
4:29
with simple but but powerful payment
4:30

4:33
PayPal and Apple pay and in eligible
4:37
countries offer customers the option to
4:39
buy now and pay later with afterpay and
4:43
clear pay and all I had to do was pose
4:46
as an online
4:48
therapist for 2 months you have done
4:51
well to capture the square space it
4:56
really is unrivaled in its design
4:59

5:08
to go on any Squarespace website they've

5:15
of modern and intuitive options then
5:18
connected social and multimedia accounts
5:21
into a few clicks to extend their
5:24
Brand's footprint and how much would
5:28
this cost
5:30
well I stole this one as previously
5:34
mentioned but if you wanted to get your
5:37
own Squarespace website you would simply
5:40
head to squarespace.com for a free trial
5:44
and then when it's time to launch go to
5:46
squarespace.com slthe painting phase for
5:50
10% off your first purchase of a website
5:55
or
5:57
domain ah what was that hello Susan now
6:02
you didn't think you'd be escaping with
6:03
our website so easily did you so that's
6:05
the traditional stencils that we have
6:07
out the way next up we've got this HD
6:10
stenciling system a boatload of stickers
6:12
all pre-cut to shape great for digital
6:14
camo and the like that's what I'm going
6:16
to try I grabbed this side of a rhino
6:18
that we've used before in a few videos
6:21
primed it white I'm starting off with
6:23
the brightest color and then I'm putting
6:25
these stickers over what I want to
6:28
remain white I found the use of a hair
6:31
dryer quite handy heating up the
6:33
stickers and it makes it a bit easier to
6:36
bend them around corners and things like
6:37
that of which on a rhino there are
6:40
plenty once that first layer is done
6:43
more
6:44
stickers spray it gray and then rinse
6:48
and repeat with a black on your final
6:51
step I pick those three colors but you
6:53
pick whatever colors you want and just
6:55
go bright to dark I think the best bit
6:58
about this method is taking the stencils
7:00
off and seeing the work at the end
7:04
appear in front of your eyes that was
7:06
very satisfying it absolutely is very
7:10
bold so I'm going to try and make it a
7:13
bit more unified with uh a wash and a
7:16
dry brush I opted for streaking Grime
7:19
and then like a buff um dry brush at the
7:23
end to try and bring it all together I
7:25
am really quite happy with this if I was
7:28
going to do this style of paint job by
7:32
hand it would have been a massive pain
7:35
in the ass so I've saved myself a lot of
7:38
time using these I think they're really
7:40
really good fun and worth
7:43
it does it look very 40K no a bit too
7:48
advanced perhaps more suited to tow than
7:52
guard or Space Marines I opted to kind
7:55
of badly paint a jean stealer symbol on
7:57
there and that kind of makes it a bit
8:01
more 40K maybe but let's give the tower
8:05
a go hexagonal stencils this time
8:09
similar sort of thing but I just opted
8:10
for two
8:12
colors I wish I'd flipped the colors in
8:15
hindsight cuz I sprayed it white put the
8:18
stencils on and sprayed it gray I think
8:19
it would have been better the other way
8:21
around but I'm undecided just testing at
8:24
this point anyway added a bit of
8:26
weathering and some metals to try and
8:28
show the model in a bit more of a finish
8:31
State it's definitely more suiting for
8:33
tow I think the results on this one are
8:36
fine I prefer the tank if I could get
8:39
the tank finish on this I think that
8:41
would have been that would have been
8:42
Peak stencil painting for me one issue
8:45
that I had is I found myself running out
8:47
of the smaller stencils pretty quick so
8:51
if you'd plan to do quite a few of these
8:53
models you might start to struggle as
8:56
they are single use once you get all the
8:59
paint over them they lose their their
9:01
stickiness and you take them off they
9:02
crumple up very easily so you might be
9:05
left with some of the bigger ones which
9:08
you know if you have a manta that might
9:09
work for you another option being you
9:11
could cut them down to size but that's
9:13
up to you so that was my day of playing
9:17
with stencils thoughts I think they're
9:19
quite Niche but if you fall into one of
9:22
those niches I think you'll really be
9:24
able to make them work and get something
9:26
pretty cool at the end as well I really
9:29
enjoyed the sticker stencil system I
9:31
thought that work really well you could
9:33
do that with spray cans so you could do
9:35
a tank like that without using it doing
9:37
a paint job like that would be an
9:39
absolute nightmare so I really saw the
9:42
value in that in it brought something
9:46
unique to the table that would be
9:47
difficult to do otherwise thoroughly
9:50
enjoyed it that was good fun with
9:52
regards to the other
9:54
stencils I think I need more practice
9:56
with them you know I very much tried to
9:58
go to the camp of if I don't like
10:00
something it's probably not made for me
10:02
I think I need more practice potentially
10:05
some different models to use on them as
10:07
well but again I've seen great results
10:09
people using them online so I think the
10:11
fault probably lies with me as it
10:14
usually does just a quick play
10:16
reasonably short video this one um hope
10:18
you enjoyed it thank you very much for
