  Superb video and I am going to steal this whole cloth for my Flesh Eater Courts Spearhead! My one suggestion would be turning the music volume down slightly as it was quite overbearing at points, but thats just like, my opinion man!

  Working out the volumes on videos is by far the most annoying part of the creation, it doesn't seem to be a consistently easy thing to manage. I'll make a note for the next one though, any improvement is good improvement. Glad you enjoyed it

  Very nice. My process is about the same as yours. I use a clear UV resin. The resin is on the thick side and the surface tension keeps it from runing off the side. Once it is poured on or painted on can hit it right away with UV to have inperfections in surface or let it set for a bit and it will self level. Love your tutorials.

  Thanks! Appreciate you watching them. Uv resin is something I've not really dived into yet, but I think soon will be time to do so, because I spotted some uv putty the other day, which I've got some ideas for using in display basing.

  I liked this a lot. However, it is a little too simple. Performing the technique on the surface you did is ‘too easy.’ I think it would add a lot if you then demonstrated on actual surfaces we will be painting on like power armor panels. Demonstrate how you adapt that basic technique on a tube to our models. Thank you for the content.

• 
  @nofixedcourseАй бұрын

  There is a reason I picked that particular shape for the tutorial, because its a cylinder, and power armour is made up of cylinders, so the technique translates exactly and doesn't need to be adapted. Obviously there's other factors like lighting and secondary reflections etc, but that's a subject for a future video, there's definitely room to expand upon what was covered here, and plenty more planned! Thanks for watching.

  My super glue has always melted XPS, is the gel that much different or is your foam the change here? I use XPS from insulation but not the blue Styrofoam branded kind. Thanks for the video!!!! Love the outcome!

• 
  @nofixedcourseАй бұрын

  Always best to test really I guess, I've just this second popped some plastic glue, gel super glue and normal super glue on the foam as I was intruiged! Plastic glue eats straight through it as expected, but neither super glues did at all. And the normal super glue was just a cheap hobby craft bottle, nothing special. The gel superglue is worth trying as it's great, but if your superglue melts your foam, the gel could potentially still do the same! Thanks for watching, appreciate it

  What drill is this and where do i get it?

• 
  @nofixedcourse2 ай бұрын

  Its an older Citadel drill, Not 100% if its still available. But saying that, the actual way it grips the drill bit isn't ideal, you want something with what's called a 'Jacobs chuck' or a universal pin vise (they use 4 little grips rather than the one here which uses a collet system and can't go to really really small drill bits) you'll have much more freedom over what size bits you can put into it and it'll grip the smaller stuff better. Dspiae do one I believe that's quite good, but there are other options.

  @Vlad_The_Imposter a paintbrush like you would use for a wall would have bristles stiff enough to do it, but you'd have to cut some off to make something smaller and more useful for what we do. Also dirt cheap to pick up and you can use the remaining bristles for long grasses!

  Could citadel ardcoat work as the varnish here? Ive never hsed it before but id like to know before i use it in case i need to return it

• 
  @nofixedcourse2 ай бұрын

  I'll be honest, every time i've used citadel ardcoat for similar stuff it hasn't sanded well at all, but maybe I wasn't leaving it long enough to cure properly. It's useful stuff, but maybe not for this particular application. Unless your budget is strictly limited to that one pot of varnish, get some tamiya but keep the ardcoat and test some on a plain base, sanding a section in 24hr intervals. Both have their uses for hobby stuff.

  Hey, been wanting to do ice bases for ages and this looks ace! Quick question, you do 2 layers of x-22, then theres the part you mentioned that you did a 2 layers and then some contrast paints. Is that 2 layers in total or another 2 layers of what's already shown in the video, so 4 layers in total?

• 
  @nofixedcourse3 ай бұрын

  The more layers the better really with tamiya clear, I'd have to go through the video again to double check, but in hindsight, if you can do a few more layers of the clear, it will add to the illusion of depth in the base, so do that. Just make sure each layer is completely dry before adding the next.

  @klobb1236 it's fairly thick yes, I suppose that makes sense if you're used to gw or most miniature paint range varnishes, if you put them on too thick they go cloudy and rubbery, but tamiya doesn't do that so you can put on thicker layers. It's looking like I'll either have to do an updated video covering some of the issues people have had, or a little troubleshooting guide on the Facebook page.

• 
  @nofixedcourse4 ай бұрын

  There's a couple of ways to do it, either with pinning or by covering a section of the base beforehand. Pinning would be to drill a hole in the foot of your model and in the base and connect the two using part of a paperclip or small brass rod. Or you can cover parts of the base where the feet connect before you start putting on sand etc. Either works fine although pinning is a stronger connection.

  Yep, it absolutely would work. It would potentially be easier as well, because black highlights up through grey very well and you can start with a variety of different dark colours to give the black a bit more depth, such as incubi darkness from citadel, that's one i use to do initial highlights on black a lot.

  This is some genuinely useful information! There's a lot of talk about "thinning your paints" but not nearly as much on how *much* to thin by - or how you know when you've thinned enough. Not to mention the fact paints differ greatly in how much thinning they need - and how the amount a paint needs can change as a bottle ages. I wish I'd had this video when I got back into the hobby about five years back. It would have saved me a *lot* of grief!
