As a tip for anyone airbrushing contrast paints: USE A TEST MODEL Not all contrast paints behave exactly like you'd expect through an airbrush and they can gain a lot of opacity. If you're retaining less of your preshade than you'd like, try adding gloss varnish! My theory is that the airbrush is often essentially "stippling" tiny dots of contrast paint on, so the pigment isn't able to disperse like it does when you apply it with a traditional brush, causing opacity and a change in color. Gloss varnish or medium should help dilute the paint and cause it to form an even, smooth coat when applied correctly, but I can't guarantee this will work with every color without experimemtation. Make sure to test this before you paint any large vehicles in this method!

I love airbrush medium. It is different than airbrush thinner because it also contains a medium. Simply blowing airbrush medium and inks makes for a really nice contrast/speedpaint slapchop effect. The trick is to go heavy so you get more pigment settled in the find details.

This was beautiful. Your whole underpainting method with the feathering afterwards turned out great. I also really like the recipe you used on your metallics.

This is awesome :-) I use artist stippling brushes and hogs hair brushes to dry-brush and stipple paint onto most vehicles, and use a piece of torn up foam padding for rust/chipping effects. Works for me :-> I hadn't heard of slap-chop much, and thought it was a whole new style of painting, only to find I've been doing it for almost the entire 50 years I've been involved in the hobby. I tried an airbrush, but just found them too time consuming with cleaning and changing needles/nozzles for different effects. I love how airbrush models look, but for me, I just prefer my own techniques, and am happy with the end results :-)

Absolutely love this! It takes a simple method and shows how you can be much more technical with it. The results are so good that having to call it 'slapchop' is almost detrimental! That aside, I'm now totally inspired to paint the blank War Dog that's been staring at me for weeks.

I've started the hobby this week,so i'm still very new and have never done drybrushing or stipling,but your videos are so easy to follow.

Love your videos! I am getting back into the hobby after a long break and a big part is thanks to your content. I never invested or purchased any citadel contrasts, but when I saw vallejo was coming out with their own version, thats when I knew I needed contrast/xpress, and started watching more videos and getting models ready to use them. I will say the slap chop method is also a big part of me coming back, as I am a very slow builder and painter, but I appreciate your slapchop videos as well as your other methods you use specifically with contrasts/xpress. I am in the US so getting Xpress paints here is slow going, but I should have them in the next two weeks.

So you did a truly excellent job compensating for the inherent problems of "contrast" style paints on large flat armor panels. The results are fantastic. I do think they could be pushed even further with a bit of the technique the Artis Opus folks showed off for dry brushing on vehicles like tanks - some stippling mixed in on the large flat panels. The stipples hide tide marks and stains from washes and glazes over flat surfaces - a handy trick.

Awesome paint job. My only critique is, like airbrushing, slapchop is overrated. You can easily paint vehicles by simply drybrushing them. Weathering such as dust and blackened exhausts can also be achieved by drybrushing. Basecoats, washes and highlights are then used to paint details that would otherwise be too difficult for drybrushing. (e.g. exhausts, tracks, wheels, etc.) If you keep the tracks separate, you can drybrush them boltgun metal directly over a black undercoat before gluing them in place. (I like to basecoat them with scorched brown first. That way, the tracks look nice and dirty after the metallics are drybrushed on.) In the case of your sentinel, you could have easily achieved the green colour by basecoating the areas with Catachan green, drybrush it Goblin green and finish with a VERY light drybrush of rotting flesh. P.s. The technical term for "slaptop" is called staining. It's a technique that has been used by historical wargamers for many years, long before GW came into existence.

I recognize that chipping style, it's like good ol uncle

Slapchop is fundamentally just "sketch style" or grisaille; the point is to set up a value map and then cover it with translucent paint.

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Hmm.. can’t see you there. But this just confirms my suspicions all along. That you’re actually Belle Delphine in disguise!

Great paint job, it’s not slap chop though 🫣

It is, it's a drybrush grisaille with a contrast type paint on top. It's literally what Slapchop is. Thanks btw

Oh yes so it is 👍🏼

To be honest I thought it looked better before you applied the green contrast paint. I wonder how it would have looked if you had used the same technique when you applied the beige paint -- stippling and so on -- but used various green paints instead. Seems like the contrast layer would be unecessary on this model.

Probably, but I prefer the filter over the stippling to make it more subtle
