Hardly, but thank you so much!

Nice to see more Legion stuff on the channel. The Occupier turned out excellent. The highlights, stippling and shading added a lot of definition to the model. It looks like you’re really enjoying yourself and evolving your techniques as well. Great video.

Thank you very much! There is more to come, I already have another SW tank...and yes, I really enjoyed this. Being able to start painting and weathering in a few minutes is priceless for me!

Wow i think you've really found your groove Darth Terra!!! The shading bit worked for me, got a good idea of what your doing 😀 fantastic job!

Thank you very much, James! Yeah, to be honest, I think these two Star Wars models have been really inspiring. The fact that they are so easy and quick to build kind of makes me go into the project with more enthusiasm. Had never really tried post-shading before the AT-ST, but now I am convinced it is the way to go! BUT NO TUFTS! 😂

Damn... the molding on that kit is pretty impressive

a minor note - for those of us with hand issues, for whatever reason - a good way to hold any chipping sponge is a pair of reverse action tweezers. Lovely work as always dear I love the shading you've achieved!

Thank you kindly, Justin! There will be more Legion coming to the channel...I bought the AAT tank last week!

Like the Shirt!

Thank you for the video, it shows a great job! I would suggest colour variation in some panels and shadow areas. For greys, applying some white dots for highlights and marine blue for shadows really make a change (blend by stippling with a dry brush or a cotton bud). Give it a try! Some contrast will make the model look even cooler! You can also do the chipping technique in different grey layers, so you can have different color chipping, which translates into older or newer weathering. Finally, some graphite or metallic pigments can really enhance the weathering effects in the corners. Keep up the good work!

Thanks, Didac! If you watch more of my videos, you will see that I am familiar with both oil dot filters and graphite pencils. Particularly with a wargaming model, when choosing what techniques to apply the main question for me is return on investment - these were choices on my part. I would suggest not assuming other modellers are ignorant of technique x,y or z if they do not employ them for a particular project…

@@TheRaceForTerra You are right. I've watched a video where you mention that you first used streaking technique with enamel thinner but then changed to do it without thinner to have more control. So yes, I assumed you were learning on your journey and thought you would be open-minded to receive suggestions and not feel offended. If this is the case, as it seems, sorry. My intention was just to share some tricks. I would also suggest not to be that strict with comments if you want to build a huge Patreon troop. People just want to enjoy life and share knowledge.

Great work!

Thank you very much, Rick! Yeah, this was €55, which given how big it is and the production values (tokens, cards, etc.) I think is really good bang for your buck. The AT-ST is even better, though!

Also can I request Tufts for the base? Thank you 🤣

I really need an airbrush, you've convinced me that I need to get into it for Star Wars Legion miniatures. Definitely the look I love. How long does it take you to do a miniature like this?

@TheRaceForTerra

Жыл бұрын

Way to go! I can’t remember, but I could tell you exactly in a few days if you like (from the video footage, I’m on a road trip right now). Around 6 hours I would think - most of that being the weathering. You can prime, airbrush all your basecoats and do the chipping with either liquid mask or chipping fluid in 1h (but always let your primer cure for 24h first).

I see why GW part ways with asmodee ;)

Hi there ! Such a great work on that tank ! But i don't understand how you did the chipping FX. English isn't m'y mother language so I have trouble understanding. So you took off the liquid mask with a dry brush with à bit of paint on it? Or you took off the mask while the base coat was still wet?

@TheRaceForTerra

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Robin, I speak Spanish and German as well, if that helps? I undercoated the model, then applied liquid mask, let it dry, applied a basecoat over it, let it dry, and then used friction to remove the liquid mask under the basecoat. This reveals the undercoat, but also creates scratches and microchips due to the friction itself. You can contact me on Facebook if this is still unclear.

If you airbrush them, yes, but you'll have to be more gentle with the brush. Word of advice: other liquid mask products don't work as well for this - best to get Humbrol.

Not at all stupid! It doesn't *have to*, but I'm afraid I have tried two others and have other people on the Discord try a third one...and all were between sub-par and just fails. Get Maskol!

So, you can use any type of acrylic paints with the lacquer thinner?

Not really - Tamiya XF paints are solvent-based acrylics. Water-baaed acrylics (e.g. Vallejo) + lacquer thinner=not good!

@@TheRaceForTerra Ah, okay. I looked at the Tamiya paints online but couldn't find any info regarding their medium. Thanks for the save! It seems like you prime all your minis with lacquer thinned paints. Is it really that much stronger? And it doesn't get gunked up in your airbrush ever?

@TheRaceForTerra

Жыл бұрын

@@nigeljones9215 Yeah, lacquers are way stronger, and they spray beautifully without any dry tip or gunking up. Downsides: highly toxic, needs a dedicated airbrush cleaner (my favorite is AK Xtreme Cleaner, which I recommend for heavy duty cleaning regardless of paints used). In Japan, modellers pretty much only use lacquers...and I can see why!

@@stinkyham9050 Yes indeed. Tamiya XF paints are alcohol-based acrylics, so the term "acrylic" is a technicality. Everyone assumes "acrylic" means a water-based paint (e.g. GW, Army Painter, AMMO, etc.), but that is not the case here. When thinned with lacquer thinner, they become similar to true lacquers. Does that make sense?
