  • One of the most useful things about mixing Ivory into whatever you're using for a highlight is that it cuts down on the number of extra paints you've got to go out and buy. As long as you've got a bottle of Ivory to hand, chances are good you can paint just about anything! Some highlights might look a little washed out by comparison, but that's the fun in experimentation.

    Damn. I think I’ll be rewatching this video multiple times. The finished product is phenomenal and definitely doable for the average painter. You’re done it again Troy. My number one painting coach on CZcams.
    I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched your Afrika Korps video to help paint up my vehicles. I would love to send you some photos of my finished products.

      I think there's always been a lot of nostalgia for the game, and fewer folks were playing as 'official' miniatures became a little harder to come by... but with so many good proxies these days, it's a kind of renaissance!

      Well, I read that this....fact was one of the reasons european armies switched trousers ' colours with darker tones. Jokes apart, this method of highlights with Ivory is interesting, I think that I'll give a try.
      The figure seems useful for a lot of scenarios, also seems compatible with WGA's Conquistadores.

    This is a fantastic result. When Contrast Paint first came out I used to add white to each colour to highlight (stopped doing it due to everything looking cold). I will try adding VJ Ivory instead and go for this warmer type look/feel. Brilliant video, thank you :)

    I’m painting an averland army at the moment after a long break from the hobby, never used contrast paints but I think I may have to pick some up after this, made it look allot easier then the way I’m painting the yellow!!

    • @SonicSledgehammerStudio
      @SonicSledgehammerStudio  Před rokem +1

      Yellow can be a real bugger to pin down the way you'd like. I always find it easier to start super light and dull it down if necessary rather than trying to start from a darker colour and build up.

    Love the idea of the wash over the contrast. Sadly I only have Army Painter speed paints as my Contrast type paints. So, I think the reactivation property will make an absolute mess if I did that.

      @SonicSledgehammerStudio  Před rokem

      Posssssssibly? I couldn't really say; some folks seem to insist it's fine if you 'let them dry long enough.' It might be worth trying it over a varnish, too.

      @SonicSledgehammerStudio  Před rokem

      Not with Contrast or Vallejo's Xpress. I've not got any of the Army Painter Speedpaints to compare, but if they reactivated with a little acrylic over the top, I can't imagine what a wash would do.

    I guess I would have problem following this tutorial using army painter speedpaint instead of gw contrast because of the reactivation problem, am I right?

    • @SonicSledgehammerStudio
      @SonicSledgehammerStudio  Před rokem +1

      Possibly? I couldn't really say; the reactivation means that Speedpaint basically doesn't work with the way I paint, so I haven't given them a shot. I need to be able to paint over dry paint. 😅 You might find it works if you apply all your base coats, then leave it to dry a while and seal with a matt varnish before shading over top?
