How To Paint A Faux Concrete Finish For Miniatures

Scale-size concrete can be simulated with just three colors of paint, some scraps of sponge, and a couple of brushes. Here's how to do it.
This is a re-upload. Although the video says music by Audionautix, I replaced the audio track with a track provided by CZcams because of a bogus copyright infringement claim that I have no interest in getting into a struggle over.

😂 "Use both hands to speed up the process" are words to live by. Nice job! 👍

This is great. I've been wanting to do concrete slab bases for my miniature army but haven't found a method that quite works yet. Thanks for sharing this.

Only adjustment I would do, is to add the slab lines last.

[@auntysoup]

Just recently found your videos. Do you have a website?

[@markinguelph7786]

Hi - Great video! Question - what does mixing the "glycerine/water" mixture thinner with the paint actually do for the paint? Does the paint spread better, adhere better or dry quicker or what? Thank you for your help! Mark

[@dlvnmedia]

I think it makes it stay wet longer or take longer to dry - which is great for blending colors or in this case keeping it wet while you work in colors over a larger piece of terrain for your models.

[@bugler75]

As Dylan says and also the paint levels out better giving a more uniform result to the finish. All the best, Ian

Nice technique but the opaque colors of the splashing kinda ruined the effects and look like a paint man job mess. Next time use them more diluted , like a wash. You can always add more. For the cracks and crevices I 'd use oil washes. You can also use some ochre and raw umber oil washes for stains on the concrete.
