As someone who works with leather, seeing those straps made me cringe. Not in a bad way. They look awesome. They also look like they need some oil to recondition them because they're cracking/dry rotting. Seriously, that looks very close to leather that hasn't been taken care of. Excellent work...even if it did give me a slight case of stroke face...🤣
Lots of dashes or cross-hatching can make cloth textured! Even on a 28-32mm! Kinda like on the belt - but applied to other stuff. Want a satin sort of look? Mostly uni-directional dash marks with thin paint. Can build up highlights like that, stacking them. Want linen? Do bi-directional. Go at it with semi-thinned paint in one direction, then again opposite direction. Repeat with a lighter paint closer to the peaks. Repeat as necessary. Got a nice linen look on a 32mm scale halfling's apron like this and it looked fantastic. Also amazingly easy! Not needing to worry about smooth blends is pretty freeing, and lots of dash mark strokes are simple to repeat. It has turned into a lazy-mode habit that I just "shade with texturing" if I don't want to deal with a smooth blend. Or freehand a basic pattern - it hides so many flaws.
I saw someone try cross hatching for the first time. He used too many lines that were too fat, so it didn’t have the intended effect, but it did make it look sort of shimmery, like satin. One of those accidents that turns out cool.
Sponges are really great tools for applying rough textured paint. I use them quite a lot when painting my military models for textures, mud, camo, wear and so on. Change the hold on your sponge every so often so you don't start to repeat a pattern, other than that it works really well.
Modeling putty + plastic glue is a classic scale modeler's trick for texturing armor on tanks, and then you've got all those *other* tricks they have for things like weld seams, flame cuts, et cetera, soforth, that are both texture and additional sculpted detail.
Seeing you paint a death korps of Krieg model has made me the happiest little bean in the world. They are by far my favorite army and do not get enough publicity as they should
One way to add a cast metal look on things like tanks and helmets is to take diluted drywall compound a stipple that on that mini. If you put too much on, it easily sands down. It's big in the scale modeling community, look up "modeling sand cast hull texture".
Ha Ha Ha...after watching a whole lot of your excellent videos...and I don't say that lightly, your videos are brilliant. I've learned an amazing amount and I'm motivated to paint miniatures and busts because of your videos...but...finding the brushes you mention hasn't been easy...but finally I found a source in the UK...Ha Ha Ha...now I'm a happy camper....as a "by the way" my account is under my wife's name, hence Trish (she's a great wife).
The hairspray technique was in an old white dwarf I had seen. It also showed how to paint speed lines and the bubbles acid look from mixing super glue and whites glue. Works great for acid amd burned hulls.
Great video, and really nice work. I'd never seen the striping approach before, great effect. The only other two texture techniques I know about are: powders (usually weathering powders) - which wouldn't have fit this figure; and (hear me out) drybrushing. Drybrushing gets a lot of criticism, but I think it does a good job of creating a surface texture that reads well as cloth. Again, great video, keep it up.
Great video, thanks for the tips. I also use paints like Typhus Corresion from Citadel that has grit in it. But I'm definitely going to try the hairspray and salt!
+1 for hairspray chipping. I used that method on a weathered pickup truck I built. I simulated bubbly rust with glue dusted with baking soda, but I'll bet you could do the same thing with Aves thinned with alcohol, and stipple on a nice bumpy texture with an old brush or sponge.
What a great versatile video Scott, thank you very much! No other content creators brings painting tutorials in a more fun way than you do, please, do not change your approach!
Great video. Kujo does alot of stippling and using the zenithal highlight to get contrast. Got my some death corps primed and ready to go, so thanks for the inspiration 🤘
I sometimes use texture medium, mostly for tyranid carapaces. I also use a mixture of arming putty and thin cement to get texture for armor pieces on bigger scale models like tanks. Applied directly on the plastic. that way it bonds really well with the plastic. It's a technique i learned from a youtuber named NightShift.
sometimes on metal parts ill use my exacto or sander to actually create scratches or dents.. it isnt using paint to create the effect but saves time since its now part of the miniature itself.. just remember that a little goes a LONG way and overdoing it means getting out the green stuff..
This is one of the sickest minis I’ve ever seen. Love the channel, I’ve recently got back into the hobby as an aside to my model making and your vids are making me want to paint!
Recently discovered this channel and Scott. Man this is awesome. Scott's genuinely knowledgeably, funny, and entertaining to watch. Been painting for years but learned loads on a video binge. Instant sub! Love the work :D
An important thing to note about hairspray chipping: the hairspray has a limited amount of time that if can be chipped effectively, so dont try to reactivate the hairspray later on.
Busts look like fun though, I'd like a new bust to paint. Only ever painted one when I was 14 that I got from a Gamesday (Kal Jericho) back in 2004. I was proud with that paint job. I like the idea of having more space to work with than on my normal 28 true scale minis (LOTR).
Fascinating! Always such good content! I’ve got a lot to learn from you! We are new to youtube, making mostly videos about Board Games, but I recently ordered a bunch of stuff so I can start painting!! Your content has been both super helpful and informing but also incredibly entertaining and high quality!
the speckly effect when using a rattlecan can be avoided by only spraying them when the humidity is right. you want 40-50%, if it's less than that the paint dries before it hits the model, giving you that rought texture. More, and it means it won't dry smoothly. This fact can be a huge pain since it's only in a very narrow set of conditions you can spray which is why I guess a lot of modellers prefer indoor solutions, which requires adequate ventilation etc..... of course here you're using the speckly result deliberately which is an interesting idea and not one I'd considered before
ooh ooh also *raises hand* I've been working in rust tones with a kinda stippling technique where I basically take a old brush and sorta fuck up the end with my fingertip so it's all splayed out, then dab the very tip in some paint (only slightly watered down so it flows a bit easier, if you thin it too much the results aren't so good), and use that to build up layers of texture. this is sort of a "best of both worlds" trick that's somewhere between "traditional" stippling and sponge applied paint. You get a larger amount of random-looking dots than with a single dab but more control than with using a sponge. it's ideal for the small surface areas of a 35mm model.
There's no physical texture on the model. It's just the result of white over black. It's never gonna be a totally seamless blend. In this case we want it. Helps us get a uniform texture.
Great video and go-through of various weathering techniques! While the chipping on the gas-mask is odd considering the material (propably leather or rubber) it looks great! I often use very diluted brown paint to build up dust in recesses. I also use different kinds of varnish on some larger textures to have shiny paint contrasting with matte rubbed off chipping effects. Keep it up!
Amazing how the glow on those goggles seem to follow you. Fantastic work, would love to see you paint more stuff this size...speaking of which, when are you going to paint that Mobieus statue?
@@Miniac I can understand that. We all feel that way at times, but aren't you the one who says we should paint fearlessly? It is just paint. There's ways of fixing it. I think the only thing holding you back is your love of the character and wanting to do it and the statuette justice. I for one, as I'm sure all your followers, believe in you and your skills.
Very nice. It appears that layaered chipping is gaining track these days (base, chipmedium, midone, chipmedium, topcoat). Would love to see you do this in a project.
First of all wow! Beautifully done. Second I have the same wet palette as you. Wondering how much water you squeeze out of the sponge. I find that my paint drives faster then the home made one I used to use.
Use whatever works for you. It's possible that whatever sponge you use on your home made has a higher capacity for water and thus dries out more slowly.
HI Scott, great video! I always enjoy watching your stuff and have gained a ton of help from you and so many others in the last 1-2 years as I have begun painting. I was wondering if you have ever done any paintings where you thought about or have added LED lighting effects? (I mean actual LED's, not just the incredible lighting effects you can accomplish) I am starting a project where I desperately want to ad a small LED for effect and have no clue where to go to get such a product that will work, nor what the basics may be to add something like that to the project. I would love to see a video that outlines some basics and possibly the process from beginning to end. Love your stuff!
Greatings Miniac, I have painted minis for about 6 months, and I really enjoy the hobby. - This model you have painted looks brutal! Is it possible for you to share the different paints and washes you have used for the coat and helmet? If not, thanks anyway for the truely good videos !
I'm not sure which I prefer, smooth paint jobs or weathered/textured paint jobs. I think it's because whenever I try to do a nice smooth paint job I end up always creating texture somehow and it's spoiled my vision that texture is a bad thing in painting miniatures.
Great tips and advice! Thank you! One quick question regarding the Chipping effect ... Do you have to use salt, or can you use sand, for instance? Or is it something about the salt that "activates" the hairspray? Keep up the great work!

Question about the 3d print. There are visible build lines on the backpack but that was the only place I saw them stand out. Is that something that can’t be avoided in printing? Why there and not any on other areas? I’d like to try 3d printing but can’t tell if they will always have build lines or not.
Another outstanding video...everything, the production, the music, the narrative and especially the technique. By the way...where can I get Raphael 8404 brushes ? Thanks so much...this is fun. I never considered figure/miniatures but this has motivated me to give it a shot.
This model is a free download from thingiverse that you can 3D print at home: www.thingiverse.com/thing:3528140
Dumb question, but for those of us without a 3d printer, is there a service where we can have someone else 3d print this for us and ship it to us?

..also drybrushing is an often overlooked technique to soften blends or give objects a used, worn look ;)
Very good point!
I really love the kosher salt chipping effect! It adds that little extra bit of flavor when I lick my brushes clean
