I adore that montage of clipping at the beginning, so satisfying
I know! I saw someone else do it and I couldn't resist trying it out. I'll bring it back on the next one... thanks for watching!
This looks so good, it's great work
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Amazing Job 😍
I Just got a Tau Army and i think i'll follow this painting Tutorial to make IT Shine 🤟
Thanks for Sharing
Thanks! There's probably more to come... :)
Incredible work! I’ve been considering just getting a box of Fire Warriors just for the heck of it. Never seen that pane line accent stuff before, need to get myself a bottle.
Thanks! Not all of them got this level of effort. The panel liner is great, best with a dull cote before you use it and clean up with white spirits. Definitely darker than something like nuln oil.
Oh and great job painting!
Thank you! 😊
Looks good! I enjoyed the special guest lol
She's a great helper!
Music to my ears. Hearing the clippings 😌
Ha, I've seen it done a few times and thought I would try. Thanks for watching!
very nice colors, i think viorla sept looks cool
I agree! That's why even shadowsun got the viorla treatment from me, thanks for watching!
Good job!
Thanks! I think it came out pretty well! More to come as soon...
Y'all have a great channel and I just subscribed to y'all, so model on!!
thanks! same to you. im doing a lot more hobbying than i used to. once in a while i pick up a new technique. ive changed taste over the years but i do love a classic car, my grandfather had a chevy nova that i would love to make some day...
@@jasonalwaysreadyyt I love the old novas!
Great stuff , guys. 👍 Subbed.
i dont put out as many videos as i want to, darn responsibilities... thanks for the sub!
No explanation needed. Life rears its ugly head. Build on , my brother. Stay safe.👍
Do you recommend any particular brand of mineral spirit for the panel line? Love the vid cant wait to try this out
I'm pretty sure that this is brand independent. In fact, I used hand warmer fluid. I'm guessing lighter fluid will work. Do a test spot for anything that isn't labeled as white spirits 👍and a clear coat before panel lining will improve results
@@jasonalwaysreadyyt I'm sorry, I'm extremely new to the hobby, what's a clear coat?
@@davidtrainor9569 no problem at all. a clear coat is a clear paint. It can be matte or glossy. It is generally used to protect paint layers from wear, or otherwise isolate paint for a different medium or effect.
@@jasonalwaysreadyyt now I see, thank you very much!
That’s an effective protocol for painting T’au in that colour scheme; good looking end result. One piece of feedback... I know you flash up an image of the paint you are using in the corner of the screen, but often they were difficult to read. It might be a good idea to list the paints you use, in the order you use them, in the dropdown text of the video description. CIT: Ulthuan Grey, VMC: German Grey, etc...
Also, I’m curious, what was the glue you used to assemble the mini?
that's a valid point, I'll work that into the description. The glue that i used was testors cement for plastic models (red tube). however, i will be changing to tamiya thin cement. the testors is a glue that hardens and the tamiya melts and welds the plastic pieces together. the testors has its place and can provide a very hard connection, but its generally not needed and is more trouble than it is worth sometimes. it tends to run out of the tube (i lose 2-5x out of the tube for every 1x on the model) and also creates filament strings. thanks for watching and the feedback!
and updated :)
I am not super familiar with miniature painting, however I've heard that Vallejo metallics are pretty good. Anything I should avoid from Vallejo, because I know they are a good value paint. Its just that certain brands are especially good at different things.
I am much more familiar with he Vallejo non-metallic paint, which is excellent. If their metallic range is good, you can't really go wrong with them.
Hi, nice video, thanks to you I found out the panel liner, should I need to use gloss on models before liner or it will be alright if I just apply on a coat of citadel paint?
I've done it both ways, and I think as long as the previous acrylic paint is completely dry, it is ok to use the panel liner on top of it without the need for a clearcoat. I would caution against trying to work the panel liner after application too much, and if you remove excess panel liner to again be gentle and let the mineral spirits do the work. it would be safer to put on a clear coat before, but too many layers can start to get rid of details on the models. I meant to discuss this in the video but neglected it. good question, this is my experience. thanks for watching!
@@jasonalwaysreadyyt thank you, fellow tau'va
@@mu1ticam166 Добро пожаловать!
One question, I'm starting to paint minis and I'm used to build Gunpla, so I already have different accent colors from Tamiya. For pannel lining the minis, do I need to apply any sort of gloss coat before or the paint will resist the brushing with the cuetip directly? Thank you.
I would recommend a gloss before. It will probably be mostly ok but it can stain. Same for using oil pants for panel lining. I regret not clear coating before on most models I've done. Also, a q-tip is aggressive, try to use the makeup foam based ones if you can.
nice base. i´ll copy that, if you dont mind
Haha, no problem at all. Flattered. Thanks!
The little nics on the top of the helmets drive me crazy lol
I know!
What was the sandy texture you use for the base? The application looks really handy
Vallejo earth texture acrylic brown earth. Super recommend. Can be used as is or painted. You also get A LOT. As opposed to lesser amounts of citadel technical pots.
@@jasonalwaysreadyyt I appreciate the reply on a 6month old video! It looks great and super malleable, will deffo give it a shot, thanks sm!
@@Clint_Beastwood haha, I'm just a guy doing a hobby with notifications on. I use that material exclusively for all my mini basing (with army painter rocks), but sometimes throw some of the citadel agrellan earth on for different texture on the same base. It takes a paint and dry brush very well. Ask any questions, no problem.
As someone who has never highlighted edges, does it have to be these super thin lines? Since my hands are very shaky.
If you use the side of your brush in the middle tangent to the edge, it shouldn't matter if you're shaky. Trying to do an edge highlight with the point would be difficult. The thinner the better, but I generally try to do a gradient of lighter colors getting thinner. Thanks for watching!
@@jasonalwaysreadyyt thank you!
found this video as a new miniature painter. Is the panel liner similar to nuln oil?
Similar but different. Nuln oil is a wash that is sometimes slathered everywhere on a model. A panel liner is made for panel lines and crevices, will usually look better tidy. Nuln oil is a wash that is acrylic based and will have a softer effect. Panel liner is oil(?) based and will be opaque and bold. Nuln oil cleans up and can be modified with water. Panel liner will need a solvent base to remove and clean. Happy painting!
I've not watched the whole thing yet, going to check it out later. just wanted to ask though, for your capillary, panel lining did you use a special product or just add some flow improver to paint or something, please?
EDIT: ah I see you are using the Tamiya stuff. I like their products. I'm doing brown lines though, so would have to see if I can colour match something in this product or not. I know you can make your own though, just by putting some flow improver into some paint, and some people even just do it with water. Will have to experiment.
These smaller guys, I think this tech will be very useful for them, I've not done it before though. I usually paint them in manually. I like using black contrast paint for black lines at the moment, it works really well. Admittedly this was for a slightly different style of panel lining though, where only one side has an edge, so it was more about building up pigment at the edge, and then cutting back in with the red to get a crisp line. You can also glaze out a fade from the black line as well, just depends what you are going for.
I've been meaning to look up this capillary-action style of panel lining though, and just keep forgetting about it. Just stumbled upon your channel when looking at Tau schemes on google.
Thanks. Yes, the tamiya works well. Though im moving toward all oil washes now. I tried enamel washes but i like oil the best!
@@jasonalwaysreadyyt I have some winsor and newton oils I need to try out still. I really want to get some of those abeltung ones, or whatever they are called though. They're supposed to be really good quality oil paints.
I seen AK sell a wooden box with the whole set in, so tempting to get it. I'm a sucker for nice boxes. LoL.
My windsor ones are called "winton oil colour" so they probably aren't the nicest ones, but the proper artist ones cost so much.
Do you know if the winton oil colour is good enough for doing oil washes?
@@D00M3R_MAVS i dont. I just use bob ross brand. I think if it says artist quality it should be fine. Have fun!
@@jasonalwaysreadyyt Thanks. Yeah dude I think this is there cheaper version, but I know people do use it for oil washes.
it's definitely on the cheaper end for oils though. it's likely about as cheap as you would want to go, being a cheaper line of a good brand like w&n.
Not sure if we have the Bob Ross ones in the UK. probably get them online though.
The Abeiltung ones are supposed to be really good. I think AK makes makes them.
What color is the white base is it Corax white?
Yes, corax white spray. If you have any other questions on paint, they should all be in the description. Or let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching!
Hi I was just wondering what the dropper you used for the armour was? Cheers
Not exactly sure what you mean, but I think you're referring to the Tamiya panel line accent color. Otherwise leave a timestamp and I can try to answer more!
@@jasonalwaysreadyyt sorry I meant what did you use to apply the panel line colour. Cheers
@@krowkhan5621 oh, it comes with the panel liner, Attached to cap. Pointy and convenient.
@@jasonalwaysreadyyt o hahah i love how easy it looks to apply. thanks for getting back to me so quick, also you models look great keep up the good work!
@@krowkhan5621 it is easy! But be neat. It cleans up mostly without staining with white spirits.
Where did you get the panel line stuff from?
I think Amazon, but could have been a local shop.
Did you used some varnish before using panel line? Or is it used straight on acrylic paint?
I didn't, but you might have better results if you do. It may stain the paint a little, even after it's cleaned up.
@@jasonalwaysreadyyt Thank you. I will try without as I don't want to spray all miniature back an forth ( gloss/mat).
@@Wallensteinwojtek I think it's fine if you make it a light coat. Report back your results!
I cut myself nicely removing a model from the wrong base and you doing it gave me ptsd lol
My fingers weren't near where I was cutting! I should just pin instead of temporary basing... thanks for watching!
Maybe it's just me, but I can hardly make out Jason's voice over the background music! Would recommend speaking more loudly or simply adjusting the audio. Thanks for the guide regardless.
Noted! Turning on the closed captioning might help, too. Thanks for watching.
Great job but I feel like Tau are too simple for the classic method of painting. I feel like they end up looking "overpainted" if you know what I mean, too many layers of paint for not a lot of detail in the model.
I'll have to think about that, what do you mean?
@@jasonalwaysreadyyt Kinda hard to explain, but I feel like the simple armour panels and smooth surfaces of the tau show imperfections in paint jobs too much (where paints overlap, uneven coats etc.), so this method looks much better on more detailed models like adeptus mechanicus for example. The end result you got is still really good, just the method doesn't suit Tau that much.
@@Pughhead you're probably right. Tau are a bit cleaner than the others. And white paint shows everything. :|
