+1 for Harry's. I've been using the Truman razor and blades for 4 or 5 years. They're cheap enough that I don't mind tossing them after the third shave.
Ex gunpla modeller turned mini painter here, PLEASE make sure if you're using lacquer based Mr.Hobby you wear a proper mask or respirator and are in an open area as the fumes are quite toxic to breathe, one of the reasons i switched to water based acrylic primers personally. Also the smell from lacquer based acrylics (Mr.Hobby, Tamiya, Gaianotes, etc) is very strong and would fill my entire hobby room for hours if i didn't turn on my ventilation to get rid of it.
Seriously. Air purifiers do NOT remove all the TVOCs from lacquer and a N95 only blocks particulates, NOT organic vapors. You def need a proper OHSA approved respirator / filters.
I was going to say this. 💯
@@fatesrequiemair purifier with activated charcoal filter is ok?
@@axcel9128 unless it goes between your face and the air it won't do anything. Running room air through a charcoal filter will remove a good chunk of the fumes, but unless you have a massive system it won't do enough to really matter. Just open a window and have a fan going to create airflow, and leave the room/keep on the respirator for a few minutes once you're done spraying.
@@axcel9128no. You still very much need a respirator and a means of evacuating the vapors (airbrush booth or fume hood vented to the outside type of setup)
I like that you added the 'total paint time' when showing off the model. Particularly because it's a speed paint video.
Golden Demon aside, I think you have transcended CZcams mini painter. Kind of on a whole different level with content and approach to painting, techniques, styles, etc. that inspire and make painting fun.
I've been using that primer in a rattle can for a while now and it is indeed awesome. You just have to ventilate where you paint and let them sit for a long time before the models don't smell like chemicals. After saying that, the finish is smooth and takes paint like a dream.
I don't know why, but I read this as "and paint tastes like a dream."
Congrats on the well deserved trophy! I love your painting style, it was your channel that reignited my interest in the hobby I've been away from for 30+ years.
This pre-shading step would be very *very* easy to accomplish with oil paints if you're willing to slather it on and let it cure for a day. medium toned primer, dark oil colors, wash consistency, apply it all over. you'll get a ton of mileage out of this, because oil paints are sooooo much more pigment dense than acrylics.
I know oil paints are easier to use, but when I have time to paint, the drying time is such a dealbreaker for me.
I wonder with washing as pre shade will be the same, unless the mini is head down during drying, the paint will stain recesses, but also to top area of a fold, where should be the highlight. Am I missing something. None the less, I would like that idea.
I love it how he pretends not to lick the brush to get water on it, but to dip it into water :D
Jon - you need to use a respirator with a charcoal filter that filters organic compounds - VoCs. You should also, exhaust that air outside. I’ve been using that primer and thinner for a few years, it is my favorite, but please be safe.
Yep, i thought the same. Look after yourself Jon!
Your statement about learning and visualizing color theory through miniature painting is dead on. I’ve been saying this for years, as I’ve studied color theory for years, while having a background in studying and learning it 2dimensionally, when you think about it and apply it 3 dimensionally as with mini painting everything just clicks. This may sound like a no-brainer, but having an object with a direct light source, creating its chiaroscuro truly is one of the best ways to understand how we perceive dimension, color, shape and form. Oh and your mentioning of Flow-state, was awesome to hear as well. Flow-state is actually a really difficult state to achieve, but with mini painting it’s so effortless. Study’s have come out about how mini painting is extremely good for your brain, and mental health (I can’t say the same for our spines, lol). Anyway, thank you Jon! Loved this video!
When I saw your first video about the color cube, my wife and I ordered it for your painting. Afterwatching this video, I was feeling a bit off on my painting, so I came up with a random dice generator to pick a paint scheme. Curoius to see the results.
Here is how I came up with a selection. I rolled a d10 to get the range of a starting card #. Rolled a 6, so in the range of 201-300.
1-2 = 001-100
3-4 = 101-200
5-6 = 201-300
7-8 = 301-400
9-10 = 401-500
Then rolled d100 to get my specific card, rolled an 87. and there's my scheme.
Dude! You hit the nail on the head! Painting by feel is such a great way to put it. It breaks down the walls when working to a "recipe". If it feels right, it probably is.
I bought this paint at Adepticon because I took a class that used them. I was surprised how much you can thin them. It was basically water and still glazed well.
we're glad you like it!
do you have a link to the people that make this paint?
@stevenisaakcoronadohs4256 the first comment on this post is the company that makes it. Big Child Creative.
Sweet looking model as usual. I'm sure I wasn't the only person to recommend the Mr Surfacer 1500 in the comments on your TUP video, but it did make me smile to see you use it in this video. The organic solvents are the only down-side really. But if you wear an appropriate mask, and have a room with good ventilation, its worth it for the result they give.
Great video. The GSI creos stuff is truly the best. It is however extraordinarily toxic. If anyone wants to try it out please please please make sure you have an appropriate organic solvents mask as well as air filter. The paint is super gnarly but incredible.
I recently started using the Mr Hobby Surfacer range and it is amazing! Huge difference especially for preserving small details. I have found that you can clean out the airbrush with Mr Color Thinner 400. I also found that the paint and thinner destroy plastic paint droppers as they eat away at the plastic.
I appreciate it when you show these approachable paint videos. This model looks great without taking 10 hours of glazing, recessed shading, edge highlighting, more glazing, etc. You've inspired me to pull out my regular acrylics and set my speedpaints aside for a model or two.
Use street art thin acrylics like molotow for priming in the airbrush. No need for aggressive solvents or polyurethane.
I love Molotow, but it rubs off so easily
Love the Mr.Hobby plug! Being a Gunpla hobbiest, to now miniature painting as well. Seeing that made me smile! 🤘🏻
Oh those look great, they really remind me of the older Golden Fluid line, and that's a good thing!
Some wise and really encouraging words which I think is what makes you stand out from the crowd.
Love your paintjob on that new kroot model!
That is the best primer by far. The pink and white is also great.
Fantastic vid Uncle Jon!
If you want an alternative from acrylic primer, go with the One4All Molotow paints. 10/10.
Glad to hear your first impressions of the new Atom paint range. I was intrigued when I heard that these were appearing. These sound and look promising.
That little dude looks freaking fantastic! The quality level you get with a speed painting approach is awesome.
Mixing painting and moding techniques from other hobbies is always a great way to learn and create your own style of painting. I use panel lining, decals, and scribing techniques I've picked up from gunpla, dry brushing, layered and blended colors and washes from mini painting, and even ink and colored pencil illustration techniques in all of my models and minis and its helped me have fun with all of my hobbies. Lately I've been painting a lot of Battletech mechs and have been using Tamiya panel lining inks to add weathering and detail to my minis. Using brown and red inks on a desert tan bass coat really makes the details pop and makes it looks like rusted or dirt encrusted edges in between the panels. I've also been using common office supply highlighters on top of green and blue base coats to add slightly off color highlights and shadows as the highlighters are pretty transparent when used on other colors, but they change the color and tone just enough to make it interesting.
Hey man, I love your work, and i wanted to thank you for putting the actual amount of time the model took in your video.
I find in this superfast media age. The short videos dont capture the amount of time a project takes to create that video. And it can lead to unreal expectations on viewer.
I must've missed it, how long did he say 🤔
Mr. Hobby has a wide line of primesa, both enamel and acrylic, in rattle cans. Work the same as the one you have shown. This brand is very well known not only among gunpla builders, but among us - scale modelers, for a looong time. For example - try using Mr. Hobby Mr. Cement S instead of Tamiya super thin cement - you will be surpised.
Glad it’s not just me who’s had issues with priming with an airbrush. Gone back to rattle cans now.
@Ninjon I started watching you well over a year ago and have not missed an episode since. You have made me want to paint minis, an interest I never knew I wanted in life. Your channel and videos are amazing and your painting is legend. Congrats on the trophy and the partnership with exemplar for the wet palette (I had to have the Ninjon one so I emptied my bank account a little without hesitation). Keep up the great work and god bless you Ninjon, your are an awesome dude 🤘🏻😁.
Lovely video! I find as a beginner its useful to for me to have that time to think, even if I'm taking forever. If i just jump in, that's when i make mistakes and get frustrated.
Very inspiring, Jon. I find your easy to follow painting tutes and your range of approaches really, really informative and fun. Keep up the great work! …and congrats on the GD!!
I picked up the Atom paints too, they're wonderful to work with - glad I got them at Adepticon
As a canvas painter turned Warhammer Freehand mommy, if you ever have the time to 'test' a different product that isn't made with Minipainters in mind, i'd recommend Watercolors, especially Gouache.
Yeah, the Mr Surfacer rattlecan primers are fantastic, One pass and done.
Congratulations on the golden demon, loved that unit/diorama! Golden So Flat is expensive but you get 8x a normal bottle of mini paint so it's worth it for some colours you use all the time
Well done sir!! That kroot is lookin fire!!
Wow! You really improved your painting. Switching between display painting and speed painting helped me improve a lot too.
Another inspirational video. As always. I struggle sometimes to just paint. I think just grabbing a model specifically to just have fun and paint is a great idea. Thank you again!
Awesome paintjob. As always love every video we get!
Though, one critique - use Mr Surfacer 1200 followed by the black Mr Finisher 1500. Thin both 1:1.5 paint:thinner. Paint will not move over that base.
Love this! Looks like the perfect excuse to finally break out my Golden SoFlat paints again!
Try the Molotow One4All black as a primer. It sprays really nice and not as toxic to spray as the lacquer.
Just got some myself. Goes on lovely and smooth.
@@Night_Bacon I also use the Montana Marker brand for the white. It's really good too.
@@bacawaka2813Ive used the Montana rattle cans as good quality, cheap alternatives. Will check out some of those marker refills
Great to see you so inspired! Adepticon was like a super booster! Excellent vid!
Seeing mini painters embrace Gunpla materials warms my heart. Now get the goddamn lacquer clears and paint me some candy!
Thank you! For inspiring me to slay the grey. :)
All of these videos by all the creators should display the time spent and materials used. Well Done!!!
I never thought about how the different color pigments in those signature name brand color schemes was what was causing the mixing to end up being difficult to anticipate. The idea of lots of greys browns blacks from each combining to a muted tone was a big realization for me watching your video. Thanks for the lesson !
There we go, someone unlocking more of what Japanese hobby supply companies have been perfecting for decades. I love Mr. Hobby and Tamiya products and was fortunate enough to have a love for gunpla and scale modeling before I got into the miniature hobby so all my tools and techniques just transferred over for the most part with some slight tweaks
best miniature painting boy on CZcams ❤ love your videos and ideas. Keep on going
Great video, and love your sense of humor…makes learning that much more fun!
Somehow i always came back to Chaos Black rattlecan primer, after trying others. Its simply the best. And smells good too.
I havw the Kroot box, no intention to build an army. But the kore I see content creators paint them, the more that changes. They have so much detail and personality. Great vid, Jon.
Jon this was great information, I'm always hesitant to mix colours when putting together a scheme because I'm scared I wont remember how to get the same colour again in 6 months when I get back to it. I'd be interested to see you paint Skabbik's Plague, Skaven Plaguemonks arent covered very much and seeing you do something nurgley/plaguey would be awesome.
11:10 using the Atom paints to punch intensity into a premixed "traditional" miniature paint just blew my mind like you shot that wisdom from a grassy knoll.
Polyurethane primers are fine through an airbrush provided you use a .4 needle or above and flow improver (not thinner)
Good note. I've never experienced an issue with the polyurethane primers, and I've never diluted them, but my default needle is .5.
I love you so fucking much for trying out mr surfacer. You're the best, jon! The gunpla side was screaming at that TUP release lol
Please for the love of god, put some respiratory protection (eye protection as well if you could) and never spray Lacquer in closed room without ventilator it's literally poisonous if not handle properly, there's a reason why Gundam painters always use specialized painting booth when handling lacquer paints, it's magic, but at a price.
I belive mixing paints is one of the best things in this hobby because it really lets you get creative with how you want to define your mini. It's also great because it's cheaper, you don't need to bu 20 different shades of green to get the right premade color for this specific cogitator screen.
Your sponsor: you know I use Harry’s, it’s available in one of the supermarket chains in the uk. Harry’s is actually really good, waaaay cheaper than Gillette etc and gives a good, yet gentler shave. It’s a great sponsor choice ❤
Thanks for the video! Just picked up this paint too at Adepticon. I've enjoyed it so far, but I wish you were at the booth to sell me on it :) I'll have to go deeper with the range
You make the best painting videos
Enamel and lacquer based primers are all that I use. I assumed everyone used them, since they are superior to anything else I have tried. I come from an automotive modeling background and all we use are enamels and lacquers.
Hey, idk if youtube is doing another culling but apparently I've been u subscribed recently, so... everyone make sure you're still subscribed to jon!
I love all Ninjon
videos 👏👍🤙
haha spent way too much getting the kickstarter wet pallet. but wanted to support ninjon for the content ive been watching for a while
I like those copper edges holding the wet palette paper down, any link to that maybe? 🙇
For laquer or enamel paint you need a respirator mask with the pink colored filters rated for organic solvents
Love your content. Looking forward to trying the Atom paints.
Wet blending gets me into flow and base coats at the same time. Win win
Finally John has learned of the god tier primer that is Mr. Color Hobby Black 1500, it is INSANELY good. I have used it on every Tau and Gunpla I have painted and nothing even comes close to looking as nice. I wouldn't use anything else.
Great, thanks.
Pretty much half of the Wargamers in Japan discord has already been converted to Mr Finishing Surfacer 1500 for priming in the last 6 months or so. Its really magical stuff and has the widest tolerance to non-optimal temp/humidity of any primer I've ever used.
Glad to see the Mr Hobby primer worked out for you!
Coming from a scale modelling background I gave up on water based acrylic primers some time ago. Even if you manage to get them on without too much frustration their adhesion to the surface is rubbish. When using paint masks the primer often lifts and destroys the work. I switched to lacquer based primers some time ago after talking with a pro commission builder and have never had an issue with airbrush clogging or paint lifting. Having said that, I am in the happy position of having a spray booth that vents to outside. BTW congratulations on the Golden Demon result 👍👏
This is actually VERY high level paintjob for 3 hours. It really requires a lot of overall skill and observation experience.
Yeah, you have discovered Mr Surfacer and Mr Leveller, best primer combo around!
best primer ive ever used ever
I use Vallejo polyurethane acrylic and Vallejo thinner, Ive only had it rub off when I've not cleaned and prepped, otherwise it's silky smooth and adheres really well. Barbatos rex is a great CZcams channel to watch if you really want to know about airbrushing various different types of paint. He's a great guy and always tells it how it is
nice video! I always enjoy them!
Its about time you discovered the unicorn tears. I love my Mr. Hobby and Tamiya products. I do scale models, figures and table top game stuff. Most of the products get used between all of these things. Some of them are easy to use others need a little more time and experimentation. Theres science in this shit 😆
Hey man- wanted to say congratulations on finishing your massive GD project - and coming home with a trophy! Been watching since the channel started up and real happy to see your success. Thanks for the good content man.
You are a good teacher head and shoulders above other CZcamsrs. Everything is communicated clearly and easy to understand. A lot of excellent points made in this video
If those paints ever hit shelves in Europe I wanna try them!
As a gunpla modeler that paints mini yes this is absolutely hands down the number one thinner out there.
I would like to see how you paint a Space Wolves miniature with your style. The shadows you use are fun and the way you interpret color schemes for armies and units would be awesome. Most space wolves videos are... well... the same or are beyond what a table top ready painter would do for their units.
A next painting range is coming. Yay...
Cool as always. 👍
i've really liked just about everything i've used from mig ammo and this makes me DEEPLY excited for when the finally release the whole atom line.
Another thing to note with models not looking the same as in videos is that computer monitors and phone screens can show shades of color differently from real life. Even lighting can make a difference. I have 2 different monitors with different color vibrancies, at around 6:00 one monitor shows a rusty orange shade with a more vibrant green, the other is a more chocolate brown hue with a much more muted green.
What would be your suggestion for a great brush with a great tip on it? It seems like your brushes have great points on them. Thank you!
lacquer primer is the absolute best.
So happy you took the advice and tried the mr.hobby primers, they are pretty amazing right😅 i only been using those and a-stand primer from mig ammo(former alclad2) the last 6 years
Welcome to the wonderful world of Mr Hobby! 👍
I love the kroot
Definitely going to look into the gunpla primer, I've got a friend who uses it so I'm going to grill him about it next time I see him lol
This Kroot ended in an awesome paintjob!
I just ordered the ATOM paint set from spraygunner because of this video!
Nice to hear that, enjoy the paints!!
I'm pretty sure you want to use Lacquer Thinner to clean out your airbrush for lacquer paint like MR. Hobby, that is what I was taught to use.
Mineral spirits might do the trick, but it isn't intended to be used for lacquer paint.
No need to buy the fancy stuff though, the normal can of lacquer thinner from the hardware store is just fine.
I love MR. Hobby primers though, they are really great coverage and are really hard to mess up.
