Beginning of this year I was sitting in the exact same spot for my coaching. Best experience of my whole year. Roman is just one the most pleasent humans imagineable and a well of knowledge.
Is it just certain items on sale? Nothing ever showed up when I went to check out…thanks for any help!
@@beaupatton1587 let me go check! edit: got it fixed :)
Appreciate it!
This is an amazing video.
You’re not just an amazing artist but also a skilled videographer and storyteller. Great video and what a wonderful message by Roman in the end.
Thank you so much. It's really hard to internalize these compliments. Sometimes it feels like they slide off my back a little as I hunt for the negativity. I think other people are amazing artists, so for someone else to use those same words about myself is honestly indescribable for me. I am grateful for such a nice and patient community. It's really hard to remember you guys when I feel like I'm messing up but y'all are there.
@@Miniac Take the compliment! You’ve earned it. Looking forward to the next one (and the next podcast with Jon)!
This was so heartfelt, it made me tear up a little. Seeing your passion and struggles with imposter syndrome hit close to home. I'm glad you had an awesome time with Roman!
for real. i'm not even sure my real life friends would say something like that let alone a near-stranger.
Completely inspiring and heartfelt! You and Ninjon are my favorite painters. What Roman is for you, you are for me. So thank you Scott!
I agree. I think both their videos and style are perfect for me.
The amount of people you have brought into the community has cemented your place in the hall of hobby legends alone. Your an amazing painter, production artist & entertainer. Thank you so much for your all your hard work and openness to your emotion, it has brought me personally many hours of education, entertainment and introspection. The past few years would have been much darker without you for all your fans and friends. Love ya Scott!
Thank you so much. So many nice compliments ❤
People often say "Don't meet your heroes, they'll only disappoint you.". I've met a few of mine, and they were wonderful. I'm glad you got to have a wonderful experience with a wonderful hero. It's great to see established artists taking an interest in helping others to move forward as well.
The sheer volume of amazing miniatures at the event was staggering. Plus, I loved the dog outside... :)
Scott, my dude. What a wonderful video. Not just then content, but all the hard work of producing something creative, vulnerable, and honest. So much of this hobby is only-hands and technique, it chases GW around like it they are waiting for senpai to notice. I really appreciate who you are choosing to be on CZcams. Also, f*ck the algorithm that Shatterpoint video was magic.
By the gods, the quality of the minis there was insane!
Honestly super happy for you. You do deserve it and I'm thankfull that you shared this memorable moment of your life with us.
Keep on keeping on!
No matter how many views this gets, this will be your best video purely based on the meaning behind it. That video from Roman at the end was the cherry on top.
There is nothing about our hobby like Monte San Savino show. Heartwarming, great chance to meet and talk to the artists and a pleasure for eyes
Love seeing yours and Ninjon’s takes on mini painting - more than just slapping paints on plastic - but the society that has built up around the hobby, and how it has a positive effect on mental health.
Great work, keep grinding mate, you’ve got this.
I’ve been falling down the mini wargaming rabbit hole again recently, and the algorithm recommended this video. My initial impression was positive, kinda weird to fly halfway across the world to stay at a stranger’s house, but then… the screamo outro…
and now we’re friends for life 😊
I've been following you for some years now, since I started painting more or less, so it is amazing watching my models appear in one of your videos! Glad you like my work and Thanks for featuring my Red Moon at 13:09 and my DOOM tribute ❤ Love your content!
Scott, I hope you know - you ARE that "Roman" to a world of mini-painters & content-creators. This video was so well-scripted and perfectly crafted on ALL LEVELS; absolute teir1 content sir. BRAVO!! ❤🤘👏👏👏
(That snippet from Roman was goddamn beautfiful; *legit-single-tear-material* 🥲)
You have made it. You are that painter that people like me strive to be. Wrestling with ADHD is hard for me, but every video you make gets me so excited to go out and PAINT MORE MINIS. Hats off to you and your achievements in this artist space.
Scott, I watch all your vids when they come out. Some might perform well in metrics(looking at warhammer stuff) while others perform well in message, like this one here. We all hit slumps, but you're so right in just taking the time to be present in what you do, and that includes miniature painting. We're always creating something beautiful in our hands when we pick up a brush and slather wet pigment all over the model. I know that in part thanks to people like you who are able to find your videos and inspiration from that, you play a huge role in their hobby journey. That said, I'd totally say what Roman is to you, a hobby hero, you fill that role for me dude. Keep on keeping on brother, and thank you so much for making this kind of content.
Love this type of video, Scott. Don't worry about the views, these videos are inspiring as hell for the real viewership of your channel. The people who watch to be entertained, informed and educated. The WH40k community won't click it and give you the additional 40,000 views, but the folks who do click it are the heart of your audience.
Gorgeous paint job and what an amazing experience you must have had. Live that life, man!
I attended a 2 day class with Roman in the UK June 2023 and it was amazing. He’s such a great human being and really help me in creating an atmosphere for my minis… I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the experience and, as an Italian; I’m glad you attended Monte San Savino too. !!
Your channel was my gateway into the world of miniature painting. I watched your beginner series prior to ever putting paint to plastic. I used your video with Jon to pick out the foundation of my paint collection. Imposter syndrome is a bitch, 18 years into my career and I still have days where I doubt that I know what I'm about. Stay true to yourself, your videos continue to inspire no matter the whims of the uncaring algorithm.
Seeing the works of art at the show reminded me that there is whole another level of painting then just painting large armies. Amazing.
@Miniac, Scott my painting jurney started this year. And you and your channel accompanied me from the beginning. I learn a lot from your videos, streams and vods. So I want to thank you.
People surrounding me, including painters, claim that, for one year of painting, my minis look great. And I think a lot of it comes from watching your content. Not only the technics, but also the philosophy to paint what I want, not what others expect of me. So thank you.
I don’t often comment on videos, but I have to for this one only to say that, as a longtime viewer of your channel, I think this is your best to date by a huge margin. This isn’t to diminish any of your past content, but only to say you’ve elevated your game as immensely with this. I look forward to your attempts to top it.
Very true. I agree!
I first found you @miniac back in 2018 when i stumbled upon your eavy metal series. You were the first painter that I watched every video i could and the first person i subscribed to on Patreon. You inspired me to try to have fun and understand that i was doing was actually art and not just an expensive paint by numbers for a wargame that i didn't even play. I cannot explain how big this was for my development as an artist. I still struggle to say that even to this day. After dropping and picking up painting multiple time over the course of 3 or so years, I would come back to your videos every single time and it would kick off another round of painting. Now I paint more than any other hobby now. I actually play Warhammer 40k and have a 4000+ point fully painted and all be it boringly based army of a homebrew Salamander successor chapter. I follow more painters on instagram than any other subject, including food. All because of you my dude. You inspired it. I know suffering from imposter syndrome is never something you really get over but you aren't an imposter to me!!! keep up the awesome work! Oh and i stopped using alcohol in my airbrush like you recommended all those years ago and I haven't had that dry tip issue ever since
A friend of mine partecipated at Monte San Savino and won gold (she painted a batman figure)
When she sent us a photo taken with you we all lost our shit here at home! We all hope you had the best of time here in Italy and hope one day you'll visit us again! Much love!
This was so wholesome, holy shit.
Glad to have you here on the hobby, Scott. I really mean it, dude.
As someone who spends far too much time in his own head, so much of what you spoke about really hit home.
Your videos are always educational and, especially these days, very thought-provoking in the best ways.
Keep doing what you're doing, and thank you.
I feel that man! Going to start a Flesheater Courts army and use that to finally break free.
This was a dope review of your once in a lifetime experience. More importantly, props to you for doing something for yourself and filling your tank!
I'm not gonna lie it felt like some of your recent videos were hitting a lull there, and it did seem like you were painting in your comfort zone. There's nothing wrong with that at all! But it definitely started to seem like you had almost a "corporate" mentality, like you mentioned early in this video, like you were only painting for the CZcams gods. Like you weren't creating for you anymore; painting or not.
This video is such an incredible shift that it sounds like you needed it, like you wanted this, that you did absolutely deserve this experience. This is a video I think we all needed as mini-painters; someone of stature--I mean that celebrity-wise, but you do seem like a really tall guy lol--hitting a bout of impostor syndrome literally across the table from someone like Roman, seeing a spark reignite not just here but through the social media stories as well, seeing a sense of inspiration come back almost as a tsunami.
This was an amazing video, and a reinvigorating one at that! Thank you.
Hey Scott, just wanted to let you know that this video made me cry.
I'm a long time lurker of your videos and support you on several platforms. Doesn't matter if YT, kickstarter, Patreon, twitch, the podcast or you name it - I've got your back.
I paint miniatures my self, I'm a video editor for a living and most importantly, I fight with mental illness as long as I can remember.
I'm seeing you struggle for a long time now and to see that there are some people that believe in you, your art and your place in this hobby warms my heart. You are not an imposter by any means! You work your ass of for this. This isn't just a hobby for you. This is your passion, your life. Your dedication for this can be seen in every single video you published. You are not just a lucky guy. What you've experienced in germany and italy is something you've earned and deserved rightfully and I'm sure there is more to come.
I hope that the past weeks will put you in a better place. If you would stop doing hobby right now, you would leave a gap in this community nobody would be able to fill.
I wish you all the best mate ❤
Signed. ❤
😭😭🥰
Pulling tears today Scott. Being so close to age and having an odd hobby i'm so dedicated too, you really hit home with this one! keep rocking my dude.
I remember the first time i saw the last Light, I'd never seen a diorama before, well maybe some small ones, but that blew my mind, I understand you having feelings of not belonging and being an imposter, I get it just from watching these videos so to go through that must have been intense, but you are genuinely one of my idols and you definitely deserved to be there, your work is phenomenal and if I could be 10% the artist you are I'd be ecstatic, we'll done sir!
That mini at 13:10 where the torchlight is casting shadows on the wall is *chefs kiss*
Was best of show of monte 🙌
@@AsteroidTVGaming ah good to know, thanks.
You made the "sponsor" part of the video the way it doesn't feel like a commercial brake. Well done Scott!
I wateched this with my family during the Christmas break. I thought it captured exactly what our miniature painting hobby is...the mental struggles, the painting itself, and showcasing the godtier European artists. Hope you got a kick out fo knowing this brought my family together for a few minutes and helped explain what I spend my free time doing.
This is how Our Hobby should be.
Cool guys hanging around, have good time, learn from each other and be yourself. ❤
Man, imposter syndrome can be really overwhelming. I've been in similar situations with my heros in the foamsmithing community. It sometimes it feels impossible to think people we look up to can see value in our work. Glad you got that chance!
Incredible! Thanks for inviting us into and sharing your fantastic experience.
I am so happy that you have gotten to experience what you did with a personal hero, and visit a place that you had dreamed about travelling to for so long. Just that something like that could happen to you as a consequence of being your genuine truthful self, and having the courage to live out your life in the service of your dreams, is such an inspiration. Not going to lie, as soon as you mentioned this trip in the podcast, I have been waiting for this video, and it didn't disappoint. Thank you for wearing your heart on your sleeve and being authentic AF.
Signed
I won a Roman Lappat miniature in a NOCF raffle last year and it's one of my favorites in my collection. Roman was even kind enough to respond to me when I posted on his Insta about it. He seems like a really nice guy and I'm so happy that you had this opportunity, Scott. You have been a major influence in my own growth as a miniature painter so it's great to see you get the opportunity to grow as well.
It's been beautiful to watch you grow and reach this point. You don't deserve the imposter syndrome. you are the first mini painter i recommend people watch because it's about attitude and not just painting.
I had to pull off the highway to make this comment it couldn't wait. Lol the humble nature you show and the message of making content that you enjoy comparatively to what the internet enjoys speaks volumes. It's extremely relatable and blows me away. Thank you for what you do and give yourself more credit . You are inspiring a generating as well. Much love brother. Stay true.
Thank you for feeling the need to pull over to share this sentiment!
@@Miniac any time. Better than texting and driving😅😂
I believe this to be your greatest video so far, you're an inspiration to me, Scott my dude.
The planets aligned for you, but your gravity draws good people towards you, it’s weird hearing you say things, others (me) feel about you. We reap what we sow, I’m so happy you got to meet one of your inspirations and hopefully, you’ll share that inspiration with your followers. Another fantastic thought provoking video. We sir (your community) salute you……..
You flog yourself so much! To many of us, you are OUR hobby hero. Your content is a pillar of this community and we would have so much less without it!
Thank you for including us in your once in a lifetime experience - let's hope it's the start of something more but I speak for everyone whose been following your journey for years that we are proud of where you are and who you have become. I think you may be one of the mose inspiring and humble people in this hobby.
It’s great to see the waters mix from the US and EU. We are often split, but when it comes to our hobbies we are all the same. Great video!
Europe AND mini painting?! Incredible. I agree that as an American traveling to Europe is always an awe inspiring experience. I really appreciate the honestly and emotion in this video, it made the experience one I could connect to, even though I have not experienced this exact situation before. Thank you for sharing this
What an amazing opportunity! Glad you were able to make it happen, and share it with all of us.
Your videos brought me back to the hobby after 20 years of not painting.
Your my model painting hero and inspire me regularly, your not an imposter.
@12:18 that painted figure is something out of this world.. absolute talent. I will never get to that level but I can appreciatie fine art like this.
Been watching your vids for a long time now, enjoyed your ups, felt your lows, but always seeing you stressed about this or that. You know what, I'm glad that the man who felt bad about not being a faster commission painter for his buddy, who felt bad for not finishing his army, who dreaded having to paint any more Eavy Metal Marines and admitted to not enjoying painting most times, is finally happy. I hope you'll enjoy your work as much from now on as I have been enjoying it. From me being a lonely dude watching your vids in his first flat to grown ass dad cramming in another of your videos when really I should've been in bed already, I hope we'll still be here enjoying your painting when we're both old men, creeping out youngsters with our little tiny toy soldier hobbies. Chin up, chest out, back straight, you deserve where you're at, champ!
I love that you got to experience all of this. My SO has tried to tell me many times to basically be like Roman, ie paint for you and only you and don’t let the “norms” of the hobby be something that guides you. It’s fine to learn techniques from people in the hobby but we should all seek knowledge outside our little hobby bubble
i can not even begin to imagine the emotions you must of been feeling when you got that email. shit i reached out to my hobby hero. the person who pushed me over the edge to finaly take up painting last year and all i got was a spit in the face. you are one of the people i turn to and love to watch. not just because you are a banger painter but you just talk about your personal experiance thoughtout.
keep painting homie.
love from australia.
Roman is a legend! First time I talked to him in 2008 where I interviewed him for a Warhammer (Online) fan'zine. Amazing to see, how you enjoyed your private coaching session.
Greetings from Augsburg, Germany! 😁
Dude, I've been watching your videos for almost 5 years now I think, something like.. maybe it's 4.. It doesn't really matter. It's been a pretty cool experience to watch your channel grow and see the quality of your videos improve... and not just the quality of the video but the content itself.. you've branched out and make some really interesting videos that implore the mind to learn new things and gain a better understanding of what we do. I can only imagine what an incredible experience this must have been for you, the atmosphere, the amazing art (holy fucking shit those are amazing) the culture... I was stationed in England and going to Europe is definitely an experience. I got curious at the end of the video if anyone wanted to hear you bust out your "paint more minis" lol anyway... thanks for sharing this amazing experience.. I've learned a little more, mission accomplished! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
This video is amazing in the aspect of hobby info but also introspective thoughts, I'm sure we have all been there with imposter syndrome or will be there. If its any help this happened to me the last few years, I cannot get into much detail, but I assisted with helping the helpless in Ukraine during the beginning of the war and made so many connections to get supplies to people who were in horrible situations and guided so many people through warzone to freedom in the western side of the country to safety. So much so the government made me an honorary citizen and the US contacted me to help them with projects now. This was massive imposter syndrome because I am nobody from a giant city I didn't feel like i was even worth the calls I was getting, let alone the support I was able to receive. But here I am now still working on these projects that can really make a huge difference in the world of protecting innocent lives of people in war zones. So you message here is amazing and you are making a big difference to those of us that are hobbyists but also listening to your story!
Keep it up! Your work means a lot to us!
Hey Scott, you are putting the bar quite high for Roman. I was already super happy that I got one of the seats for his upcoming workshop. As that one approaches excitement rises, but with your video it goes through roof.
I am really looking forward to this and enjoyed your video, your thoughts and I glad you have found a great friend and had such a wonderful time. In the past unthought I need a workshop to improve techniques. While I still hope I will, I just go there now to have a great time and just bath in Roman‘s charisma and take a dip from his spirit.
A really nice video about the validation hell we often live in as CZcamsrs.
It can feel like you live to serve the numbers, not the audience that got us here if we're to continue to grow, because that's the system that's been built for us to work in on CZcams, it's really surprising how hard it is to *not* get sucked into the dopamine/stress machine that is YT studio.
The imposter syndrome can be VERY real but yeah dude you absolutely deserve to be where you are, always love your approach to and mindset around the hobby.
Keep doin' the thing dude ❤
Scott, you never cease to amaze and delight with such moments from life, and I can confidently say that your perspective on working with miniatures is incredible. I'm not the best artist or tattooer, but for me your comments and videos are more than just watching, more than a hobby, it's like friendly advice and an opportunity to see something truly beautiful. Even though the world outside the window is not the best, just as the events around us always affect people’s condition, but you really give me a lot of strength and a smile, always. One day I will be able to come from Russia to a master class with you, just as I will be able to see these miracles with my own eyes in person, but for now it’s time to study and go towards the goal. Thank you ❤
Hey Scott I have a challenge/experiment for you, you being a very talented miniature painter this should be easy. My challenge : pick up a classic kind of Airfix or Revell military model of either 1/72 or 1/48 scale and make something that instead of being a nice artistic interpretation of a thing to make it as photo realistic as humanly possible. It seems to me that many a hobbyists are under the notion that photo realism is unattainable yet the classic modelists have been doing it for decades as what drew me personally into Warhammer 40k for example was my humble classic kind of modeling hobby, and while everything is fine and dandy with being super artsy and solving everything in almost van gogh-ish surreal contrasts overlorded by the color wheel and non metallic metal techniques
Awesome journal Scott. Also the mini showcase at @13:00 was insane!
Man that feeling of not belonging is one holding me back fro participating in anything hobby related 😂 so "glad" to see its a feeling other/better painters actually encounter. Maybe its time to try and join a group of mini painters, after all if its not for me ill still have my own hobby space. Thanks alot for such an inspiring video!
We need more videos foksusing on the mental side of art rather then the technical side of competition painting. Great sutff Scott
Hell yeah, Scott. You're videos make me feel like I'm a part of something so much bigger. It makes me proud to be a mini painter. Thank you so much.
Met Roman this year at a Finnish convention called Ropecon. He was a special guest there and he was fucking awesome! They tell you to never meet your heroes but Roman defies that saying in every way possible!
This is perhaps my favorite video you have made! The sincerity is palpable, and the videography is really incredible! Seeing the trip through your unique view made it all the more enjoyable.
You were my first teacher when I started paintimg 6 years ago. Without you I would not have anyidea how to actualy paint or where to start man. You are my Roman man.
Never doubt yourself you are amazin no matter what anyone says!
Your journey these last few months have been very open and honest, something which at least I appreciate. I am sure we can all be jealous of the fun things you as a CZcams get to do, but these videos also remind us all of the work you guys put in and the humanity behind it. Best of luck in the future and I for one will continue to watch the "midwest" bunch as I refer to you all. Paint them minis!
Thank you so much for this wholesome and beautiful video and for sharing your experience and perspective of the days with Roman! Your videos were some of the first I watched when I started this hobby and you were also the person guiding me to Roman. You mentioned him every so often. So when I found out that he is German, not living too far away from me, and even giving workshops and private coaching, I grabbed this opportunity and got some coaching myself last year. He mentioned back then that he had made plans meeting you and going to MSS etc. Seeing now the result of this a year later makes me super happy for both of you! Keep on happy painting and sharing you work and thoughts! THANK YOU!
Can agree with Roman, after coming over for the NOOB vid, i can confirm that enjoying the journey and not the destination is key.
I can't speak for everyone, but you are a virtual mentor to many of us on our mini painting journey.
Youre an inspiring induvidual, the little slices of life where we get to see you candidly talk through your struggles and what we as viewers can take away from it are what im here for man. Fantastic video!
You've come a long way sense making budget props and a puppet costar. I've learned a lot from you over the years (and many others). I'm glad you got to have this experience and its awesome it sounds like it was more then what you were hoping for.
Long time viewer of your videos, they are always inspiring and informative, first time commenting. I just wanted to let you know you have a huge impact on the world, more than you will ever know, and regardless of those feelings of needing external validation keep being you. You're amazing, more than you will ever know. Thank you for sharing yourself, the good, the bad, the ugly, the journey and the knowledge with all of us. You make this world a better place by being you, and sharing that with us.
Taking a class with Roman long time ago myself I totally can understand what you felt. It is an eye opening experience and Roman is a great teacher. Im really happy that you had a chance to make such a wonderful experience and share it with us. Keep doing what you enjoy.
I’ve been tuned into your channel since 2019. You were one of the core channels that I studied to launch into this hobby. All along, you have been very real about the experience of doing art and living. Seeing your spaceman garage, ninjons turtle mage, and Sam lenzs uh scary death moat mini, when they were on tour at my local hobby shop. It was really connecting, in a time we were all told to stay away from each other. I appreciate your work for all these reasons.
I am aware of Roman lapatt because you have spoken highly of him on your channel. I have gotten some relaxation and groove in my painting because of the message that I think he’s trying to send from massive voodoo and his current channel.
Youve always seemed to paint from the heart, and honestly. I’m speaking for another guy, but I think that’s basically why he reached out to intern you.
No need to reply. Keep doing your thing, man.
Glad you have a full painted army that you feel good about.
Just another grateful fan out in inner space.
Wow, looks like a once in a life time kind of trip! The minis in that contest were jaw dropping.
Scott I can only emphasise what the others are saying. Don't be so hard on yourself. You really have inspired so many people including myself in this !!!!
Here's to your continued success.
I first found this channel when I decided I wanted to paint my Imperial Assault minis, so your beginner series was incredibly informative for me. This event looked awesome and Roman seemed real cool.
Amazing story man, one hobby to bind us all. Thank you for flying the flag high for our community too, your vids go a long way to help spread our hobby, breaking down barriers and making it more accessible for everyone.
This might be my favorite video you've done yet. I really enjoy how you share your insightful side. You're very open and transparent with how you view yourself as a painter and it's appreciated. I'm glad you had such a wonderful experience and I hope there will be many more for you! Keep up the great work!
Why does Roman have to be some damn adorable at the end! Made me cut some onions.
Well, finally I made it. With a comment. I started several times and quit again. In fact there is no comment needed of me as you said to me yesterday, Scott. It is already wholesome. All of it. Still I want to tell you how happy this video made me. First of all it is impressive from the editing quality. Really tons to learn here from you. Second, it is amazing from the personal growth that started with this trip. I remember the thoughts we talked about on "what video you want to create" from this trip and I can say you nailed it 100%. Be present is the main message. Be present in your life, in your love, in your job, in your passion, in your moments. This is a hard task with todays world as everything is aimed and programmed to distract us from being present. I see a great message in this video and I feel honoured to played a part of it. A toast to passion, friendship and being present, Scott. Keep on happy painting! Roman
Thank you for being who you are! This is what I meant with your heart at the right spot ;)
I have to say, it's nice to know I am not the only "space-cadet" in the void. Loved this one Scott.
Great video, I'll admit to get a little teary-eyed from that message from Roman to you. You can just feel the life-changing experience this journey was for you. And thank you for talking about imposter syndrome - it's something that many (probably even most) people feel, and the more people talk about it the more it normalizes it for everyone. I have a graduate degree and am probably one of the most experienced people in my (admittedly niche) career field and still deal with imposter syndrome.
This is a love note to miniature pranting. You two are legends. Thank you for sharing the craft.
Yeah dude, this video and the AoS escalation campaign are going into a playlist that I'll watch when I need motivation. These are the kinds of videos I'm enjoying for the hobby, and I feel like more people are gonna start doing them. Here you are at the forefront of that, with such a banger that brought a tear to my eye. What Roman is to you, you and Jon are to me. Keep up the good work man!
Thank you, SO MUCH, for this 2 mins 30 secs of montage on the event. I paused at every frame with my mouth fully open and drooling all over my keyboard. I'm just speechless of the level of theses paintjobs... What a magical place
I was not prepare for this journey.
Thanks papa. It's always worth to support you as always
Massive Voodoo's work showed me what mini painting could be when I was much younger. It has carried me this far. What a dude!
0:14 this is a greazy good shot of this piece!
This video is amazing. So glad you got this amazing opportunity. Like many others have already said, you are to many of us what Roman is to you. I always look forward to your videos and learning new techniques from them. We need to always learn and grow and seize opportunities like these when they come along. You are no imposter. Build on what you have learned during your amazing truth and continue to inspire others by it! Thank you so much from many of us hobby painters
I’m super happy to see you getting this opportunity. So much deserved. You are an amazing painter and person.
This was a really cool video. Not just because you had the opportunity to meet with Roman, but also because of what message you chose to say.
I really enjoy those kind of videox, where you combine the miniature painting hobby with other themes, such as the impostor syndrom or the difficulty to combine work and passion sometimes.
I hope you will continue to explore different ways of storytelling in your videos while continuing to bo honest and sincere and not always trying to get more views at the expanse of the quality or the uniqueness of your videos.
Bye :)
Every time I watch a new one of your videos, I am stunned by how good your camera work and overall composition of the shots and "flow" of the video are.
Made me tear up dude, as a 37y.o I can say I still struggle with the same things and I'm just a tradesmen but you just have to keep telling yourself that you deserve it and that your worth it, eventually you will believe it.. Atleast that's the plan. Also whenever you do something stop and be proud of yourself don't just gloss over it, It matters.
Imposter syndrome is real. I'm glad you could manage it, and still enjoy your trip. You're certainly a pillar of the hobby community in my eyes.
This is one of the realest videos ive seen on youtube, brang a tear to my eye. Im so happy for you that you had such a beautiful experience and met a hero of yours and he lived up to the expectations. A true heart warmer. Much love ❤
When Roman Lappat puts up the bat (brush?) signal, you scoot!
That's awesome, we need more events like that in the US.
