Run isopropyl alcohol through it.

I get why people like airbrushing but not everyone can use one. For example I live in a rented apartment and I paint minis at a desk in my living room. Even while using an airbrush box I’d probably cover a lot of stuff with the spray and I would also have to endure the fumes. Even something like spray coating with zenithal highlights means that I’ll be spending most of the time outside on the street or in the yards. I could easily afford an airbrush but would probably never be able to use it anyway. So I’ll always appreciate guides that show how you can do things without needing an airbrush. So thank you.

I use an airbrush in an apartment. What you do is get a folding paint cabin/station with a fan and an attachable hose and a head that looks like the end of a carpet vaccuum cleaner. You clamp that "head" in between the window and the frame and so the cabin will suck out all the fumes. Don't get me wrong, you might not be able to rearrange your home so you can sit and have the setup by your window, but it's absolutely possible with a minimum of hassle.

This only holds up for acrylic paints and even though there are no horrible fume smells, you should still wear a dust mask. You still are creating a fine paint mist, those paint particles are not good for you and your lungs. But with acrylics you have no paint fumes that are horrible and if you make a nice boxed of wall the paint will stay there and not go around the whole room. Also it really depends if you are doing large surfaces for example during base coating or when you are doing very specific work. In the second case you almost have no spreading as well.

Number one reason for not having an airbrush is living in an apartment and not being able to have a dedicated, well ventilated room for it.

@Zumikito

2 жыл бұрын

I understand that not having a good space for it is an issue, but I don't have well ventilated room myself! If you don't prime entire army or spray too much varnish, it's fine

Wasn't expecting a video so soon, so that was a plus- but what winds up being essentially a part two to the last one is even better. I've been using an airbrush for so long, i know my rattle can skills are kaput. Never too late to brush up on all your skills to keep up to speed and well-rounded. Thanks as always, and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

I've been painting space marines for almost 30 years, and I still have shit to learn... your awesome! Keep up the great work!

I appreciate that you actually include tips for those without an airbrush. For me I tried using one once at a store demo. And I just found it unenjoyable just wasn't for me. Still the contrast and oil wash are very very useful. Contrast is better than I'd like to admit

This is amazing! Thank you so much. The colours are great as well. Also thanks for the subtitles, keep doing it on all you videos please, they really help!

Both videos are supper usefully. Love the approach you have on all your work. 🤘

More lovely results man. Thanks for another great video.

Now THIS is what i like ^_^. Fast, but great quality minis are my jam! Thanks for making this video, ive gotten some more useful info to use on my minis :).

This video needs more exposure. Efficient and looks amazing. Can’t wait to see more armies done up!

I bought my first box of space marines, I will start painting them this weekend. Thank you so much for your videos! You are a great artist

The end result on these make me think of oil paintings. They look really nice with a classical artwork feel to them.

Man I would love if you could do this for more types of models. Achieving great results in less time is something that many average guys like myself could use.

Love the mud and snow on the space wolf boots. Great touch.

This is pretty much the sort of slap chop technique I was looking for, I'm going for space marines, based in army green, dry brushed in Screaming Skull, contrasted with Militarum Green so not as bright as the salamanders not quite full as raptors or cadian with copper/bronze heads and trimming, purple eyes, armour joints, wax seals, lenses and plasma This was the perfect condensing and refining of all the slap chop methods a little bit off all the good bits I liked about it and great technique over all

I appreciate your hustle, man! subbed

Thank you for helping us all improve.

You were not kidding! Awesome

You crack me up! Another great video.

I'm just got a set of Space Marines thank you for these they really help

I (dis)like how your speedpainted minies look better than a lot of my slowpainted minies ahah. Good job again Zumitiko !

Very helpful. I also appreciate the fact that you show some of the imperfections of the mini: as a beginner I kinda panic whenever I make some mistakes.

I literally just got my airbrush yesterday. I can already tell my output for models will be way better. Great work and I love all your work.

I don't have an airbrush, and I have reasoned over it a lot. Some of my favorite paint in my arsenal are high flow ones, perfect for airbrush. But I have such a work schedule that I physically can't use it, my painting section are at most long an hour, from 4 to 5 into the morning. Not the best time to use a compressor. So I have studied how to substitute the airbrush. Some thing are simple - if you are more of a wargamer than a painter, you just need the correct spray can for your color scheme. Just use the one from a brand like Montana or Molotow. You will always be using that color, after all. But to be fair, I go with drybrush and stipling. To start with, I prefer the dirtier, duster and older look, that it give. More grimdarker, if you ask me. Still fast. My true challenge was finding Rosemary's size xs drybrushes. Changed my game.

solid guide. thanks

Does oil wash work well in a calligraphy pen w/ nib the same way the enamel panel liner paints do? I find the pen has really good control and the nib holds more paint than a brush does so I don't have to keep going back to dip. Also, very easy cleanup!

What would you recommend for a primer or the coat after a primer for a Sons of Malice look. They use checkered black and white opposites on different armor pieces. Sort of like your purple and white Marines but a bit more checkered. Was thinking re-doing some old models from years ago where I really didn't paint them right so I will have to strip them first.

I was stubborn about not getting an airbrush, because it's so god damn expensive where I live. However... Zumikito is right about the airbrush and I wholeheartedly agree: It's one of the best tools in your arsenal for painting miniatures. Primer, highlight/zenithal and basecoat without the need for a toxic spraycan or having to depend on the weather to use it (and if you live in an urban area like me, you might struggle to find a spot to actually use a spraycan). I know it can be really hard for some to afford an airbrush, compressor, cabin and various things you need for it (cleaner, thinner, flow improver, airbrush paints, a pot, cleaning tools... etc) and the big draw for many is to get started and going with the hobby because you have momentum and are excited. I saved up money month after month and got myself all the stuff and it's been absolutely worth it, especially because the main color I paint with is orange, which is a terrible and god awful color to paint with as a basecoat. Seriously, do not paint with orange unless you're a stubborn idiot like me. If your goal is to "truly" speed paint models as fast as possible, then an airbrush is your best tool and you can adapt an army for that purpose, such as giving them a theme, like making them look like they're living statues made out of stone and add dramatic highlights. Even if the models aren't painted with tons of detail, they will still look striking on the tabletop. People are usually more impressed with a cohesive themed army, than a ton of individual models painted in excruciating detail.

Great video thanks a lot. Quick question. I’m soo new to this. Can you recommend a good range of contrast paints pls? 😬🙏

I will have to see it again. Damm, that was fast XD

can you maybe show in a video how you did the snow base for the spacewolve? when i cover the feet with snow paint it just looks like pva glue basically

Hey im just getting back into the hobby after around 15 years and im trying to follow for blood angels and im at the point if applying the red contrast to the mini but when i use the paint it seems to not want to stick to the model, is this normal what am i doing wrong? Please help

Cant' seem to find any basing tutorials on your channel. Would be great if you did some for the different space marine builds you've shown.

I used a £30 Ali baba airbrush using your other video technique. Turned out awesome. So it’s real not that expensive

As someone who was hesitant to buy an airbrush: it's both worth it and inexpensive. There's budget, lightweight airbrushes for a bit more than the cost of an intercessor. Airbrush thinner can be homemade for around $10 and airbrush cleaner is also cheap. It greatly enhances your painting once you get the technique down and is worth every penny.

Your works are awesome and stunning!! I have one question, you mix the contrast colours with water? Thank you for all

About using dark angels green: will be a difference between priming in chaos black instead of grey? Thanks!!

Would acrylic ink with flow improver work instead of oil wash? Seems a step too far for me to have to use oil paints...

How did you wash a nice brush? Could you mae a tutorial video about stuff like that? How to clean the brush, what brush should be use for which part, what brush should be use for which paint.. stuff like that

you know... you do make a good point, with how expensive warhammer minis are, they make an airbrush look reasonable in price... perhaps ill get one someday when i have a need for it

Good video! May I ask which gloss varnish in a can you would recommend?

I looked in the description but I don't understand. What did you use for the edge highlights on the Dark Angels? Thanks

I use Daler Rowney fluorescent inks for my plasma weapons. Their blue and red are great.

Would love to know where you can get an airbrush setup for the price of two boxes of intercessors.

Hey Zumi, what do you think about those cheap compact airbrush kits? Heard they do the job right.

You do it in many of your vids , the oil wash which looks so easy as the tiny drop spreads almost perfect along lines. Do you coat it with gloss to make it do that? Then paint over matte? Did I miss that video. It looks so easy when you do it man

Thank you.

I am told that putting some flow improver and glaze medium into my contrast paints can solve a lot of the issues it has with the pooling, as well as making them more transparent. What do you think? Also, seriously, I love your video and need more.

What did you use for the snow base effect on the Space Wolf? Great video btw!

To me these look brilliant and I would never guess that the methods you employed here constituted or contained some form of short cut. What would you have done differently if you were not speed painting them?

what do you use to hold the miniature to the cork handle?

How on earth does he get such a smoothness on the contrast paints?? When I use them with a brush it gets all spotty, darker spots in some places and brighter spots in others! How does he get such smoothness?? Please I need to know!! ;-;

So red with matte varnish... kills its vibrancy. What can be done to help fix that?

Where do you get the decals for different space marine forces?

These videos are great and just full of information. I am curious how you stripped your minis as I made some changes to a color scheme and want to strip the 5 marines I'd already done before the changes.

Make sure the decals and oil wash are completely dry before the matt varnish as well. These not being dry will cause the varnish to become milky as well.
