    I’m testing the water to see if there is interest for these topics that still didn’t fully reached the miniature and wargaming world, so be vocal and let me know if you want to explore more of this niche stuff! DROP a LIKE to help the diffusion of the video!!! See you later in chat😘

    • @Night_Bacon
      @Night_Bacon Před 2 lety +2

      I’ve had to think hard about painting for the artistic side of things vs the gaming element. While it was the idea to revisit Blood Bowl with my son, I think I’ll be doing more painting for its own sake. There are so many cool sculpts and busts, I would love to see a wider range with attendant techniques…… although I’m still waiting to see your old Khadoran warjacks :)

    • @KrullMaestaren
      @KrullMaestaren Před 2 lety +2

      Yes please
      Doesn't really matter where techniques comes from. Panel lines could be added to a 40k tank for a bit more detail just as an example. Personally just want to learn and make better looking minis and games :)

    • @nivaexplorer
      @nivaexplorer Před 2 lety +2

    @CypressPunk34 Před 2 lety +1

    For a long time I've been thinking "not just mecha? But Marco surely there are some mecha laying around right?" And now I'm finally getting to see some!

  • @MrElliptific

    @baphomet37 Před 2 lety +3

    Greetings from Finland! I'm a little bit of an older geezer (I was a pre-teen when Games Workshop released their first Savage Orcs set) and haven't really painted miniatures in years, save a few Necrons and Ultramarines with my son. But recently I've begun feeling an interest in the hobby again, and so I've searched CZcams for modern painting channels. That's how I found your channel.
    And as an artist myself (although not miniature) I must say you are AMAZING. Your knowledge and understanding of not only miniature painting but also color theory and even philosophy is absolutely professional. You are also extremely skillful, creative (even visionary), entertaining, rich in your English and very inspiring.
    Thank you for sharing your art in such an elaborate and fun way!
    Oh yeah, and PLEASE more MECHAZ!! 😁🤖

  • @Ryuondo
    @Ryuondo Před rokem +1

    Holy cow, I need a panel lining video from you. It's kind of a scary section of the mecha hobby.
    Also, after watching the whole video, that is one gorgeous exosuit.

  • @scottyk996

  • @freaketchic
    @freaketchic Před 2 lety

    I'm always amazed by the amount of techniques and different materials you use. Some I knew, some I didn't, but I always get mesmerized at your liberal use of them. In this case I think you only missed on using some dry pigments for dusting the base and the legs, to go for the full flush of mini painter techniques! Very inspiring work, as usual.

  • @aaajjworm

  • @knightmanexe25

    Definitely make more mecha videos Marco I love the way you hybridize the painting styles and teach something that feels wholly your own.

  • @Vimes839
    @Vimes839 Před rokem

    Returning to rewatch this for the umpteenth time, of all of your excellent videos this is the one that aligns closest to the kind of painting I like to do. It's a pleasure seeing the heights a master can reach using the same ideas and techniques.
    Hope you do many more mecha in the future!

  • @l33tpie
    @l33tpie Před 2 lety +1

    That sponge technique is perfect. So little but exactly as much as you want to give extra depth.

  • @SJGvP
    @SJGvP Před 2 lety +1

    Finally, a mecha! Definitely interested to see you build and paint more mechs. Techniques should be easily transferable to many bigger models in the wargaming scene.

  • @lanesteele240
    @lanesteele240 Před 2 lety

    I bought a cheap Black Friday battery vacuum. It is freaking awesome. Especially when scratch building. The dust is sucked up and if you accidentally suck in a small part, you can find it in the dust container on the vacuum

  • @havok2579

    Variety is the spice of life. You'll always get more views with gw models but id love to see some different media that are adjacent.

  • @ViktorBrech
    @ViktorBrech Před 2 lety

    Absolutely adore this video, thank you. I would be very interested in seeing more vehicle/robot painting videos, more than I am in gunpla-related modelling tricks etc.

  • @jamiemckelvie5067
    @jamiemckelvie5067 Před 2 lety

    Yes please to more mecha videos. I've got a big backlog of gunpla I need to get back to, and now I'm back into mini painting, I'd like to paint them as well. I've been thinking about keeping mine in permanent poses and painting light and shadow, too.

  • @Glamour_Smashed_Face

  • @jeffholt9437
    @jeffholt9437 Před 6 měsíci

    Congratulations - you may now feel ready to move to Tau battlesuits........😊
    Seriously, a good idea and something you should definitely do more of on the channel. I've always wanted to see resoected armour modellers paint GW vehicles as they would do a historical subject - perhaps you should do the converse and paint a Sherman as you would do a mini?

  • @absolutmauser

  • @marsan2857
    @marsan2857 Před 2 lety

    More like this please!
    I recently got into gundam and i have to say I'm really satisfied and eager to invest a lot my hobby time to it.
    Since personally i like to work with mecha and vehicles and large models in general it allows you to put more effort to weathering and its not monopose.
    And more affordable than Warhammer especially if you are not a player.
    So yes please i would like to see you giving a makeover to a gundam.
    As always great job Marco and thank you very much for sharing your techniques!

  • @hobomasterxxx
    @hobomasterxxx Před 2 lety +2

    I'd love to see more of this! A lot of gunpla and scale modelling techniques are really useful for miniatures, it's nice to see this stuff.

  • @saltfreegamer
    @saltfreegamer Před 2 lety

    Yes! Very curious about scribing panel lines, and what tools you really need to start out.

  •  Před 2 lety +2

    More of this please!

  • @gtanusetiawan
    @gtanusetiawan Před 2 lety

    Yes! Please do more of these kind of videos!

  • @blacktemplar667
    @blacktemplar667 Před 2 lety

    I think there's a lot of overlap between painting wargaming minis, gunpla and historical models. Sooner or later something mecha or tanky will cross every wargamers path and ask for a solid paintjob, be it a sci-fi robot, a fantasy / steampunk siege engine or heavily armored monster. Some of the tricks and techniques common with the larger scale models also sure can work wonders on smaller minis, e.g. panel lining armor plates to make the structures pop or weathering with pigment powders. At least for me it is often easier to try out & learn new ways to paint/weather with larger surface areas than to go straight for tinier objects like a space marine shoulder pad, too.

  • @simonrobins6569
    @simonrobins6569 Před 2 lety

    Will definitely try some of these approaches (on a smaller scale) when I get onto my Infinity 'Knight of the Holy Sepulchre'. Would love to see more in the future as these techniques definitely have applications outside of mecha...and make me dangerously interested in one of these kits.

  • @benzelrhomb
    @benzelrhomb Před 2 lety +2

    Marco, have you watched any of James Wappel’s Twitch or CZcams videos? He has primarily switched to using only oil paints on his minis. What do you think about his style? He has some great videos on OSL with handmade fluorescent oils.

  • @OverlordOfEcchi

    Cover a Sister of Battle real quick, and then we can steer clear of Warhammer indefinitely. We got Necron, Ork, Marines, yeah? All that’s left are the sisters. Maybe cover Order or the Sacred Rose or Argent Shroud? They’re color schemes you haven’t worked with yet, as far as I can tell. Especially the all white of Sacred Rose.

    Ciao siniore Marco.
    Subscribed to your amaz8ng channel.
    I've always been I to painting modelkits, minis and most of all, mechas!!
    I've been watching most of your technical videos and I can't get enough!!
    Could you please do more videos about types of paintings for mechas , mostly weathering de0endibg ob their environment ( how to do spaceship paint and weathering?)
    But mist of all I'd love a tutorial about how to paint animation cells style on a gundam ( like your Luffy) or a across kit.
    The technique is more difficult to use on lots of flat panels and surfaces. Teach us how to simulate metal plares with shadows, like in the Saint Seiya anime.
    I have a big animw figure that I'll use to test your anime cell style.
    I hope you'll see this post.
    Thanks again!

    Hey Marco,
    Thanks a lot for this tutorial and for all your videos in general. I am learning a lot with all of them and I really enjoy the way you explain the things. For me, they are definitely very useful.
    I am looking forward to see more videos on this matter. It is not my thing, but as you said, learning from other fields brings other perspectives and widens our views. All those are very welcome effects.
    I also have a question for you, in case you have the time to answer.
    I have noticed that in your last two videos you have been using Liquitex Acrylic Gouaches. I have been keeping an eye on those paints because Kimera Colors are very difficult to get where I live. On the paper, those seem to have similar properties, so I was thinking to give them a try when I start running out of Kimeras.
    What is you opinion on Liquitex Acrylic Gouaches? I would really appreciate if you could briefly share it.
    Regards,
    Daniel
