    I'm sure you're aware of the toxicity of UV Resin, but for anyone else watching this:
    NEVER TOUCH UV RESIN WITH BARE SKIN
    UV resin will cause chemical burns while uncured. If contact occurs, clean the area thoroughly with alcohol. A heavy-duty household cleaning product can be substituted if none is available. Rinse with soap and water after.
    Otherwise, another great video, Vince! I love the final product!

    • @bodotrenaud7441

      Additionally repeated contact with UV resin can create sensibilities ultimately leading to life long allergy. So wearing gloves is recommended

      Doesn't alcohol dilute resin and make it more skin permeable? I was told you specifically *don't* want to wash UV resin off with alcohol. Soap and water is meant to be better. Granted this advice was for 3D printer resin but I assume it's similar stuff chemically.

    Hi Vince, not really related to this video specifically but I just wanted to post my first ever RUclips comment to say thank you for the incredible work you do on this channel. Painting used to be a part of the hobby which I found pretty mystical and, frankly, a real chore. I've been in the hobby for almost 20 years and had never completely painted an army but, starting just before lockdown, I have now painted several to a standard which I would never have dreamed I could manage and its now one of my favorite things to do (AoS or otherwise). You can almost single handedly take credit for that because I found your videos both inspiring and accessible. You are a truly wonderful teacher. Thanks for all your hard work!

    Great save on the water. Would love to see one on doing water of different levels of disturbance: still, small ripples, babbling, full rapids/waves. Mostly because I've been scared to do any resin poor on bases for fear of messing it up and it just looking dumb. Could do as part of display board for more space maybe and to hit em all easily.
    As always appreciate the time and effort to share your knowledge and great sound at the beginning too!

    that's awesome! Only thing I'd add, just like paint recipes, write down (aprox) what you do for your basing, if you're going to do an army worth. Great job on the water effects - you just have to go for it with them, I find. And then when/if it doesn't work, learn - videos like this are really encouraging because everyone has issues and getting more ideas of how to work with them, inspires creativity!

    Hello, Vince... I've never felt the need to comment on anyone else's channel before, so this is a first for me.. I just have to say a huge "Thank You" for the outstanding content of all your painting/modelling type videos.. I've been painting and converting figures for my own pleasure for many years, although mainly historical but colour theory holds good whatever the subject.. You are the only RUclipsr I've watched who can explain the theory of all things painting and colour, plus show practical demonstration of showcase/competition work without sounding condescending and self important. So many others seem either so full of pretentious B.S that it's like listening to a wine tasting expert, or else so loud and gimmicky that the value is lost...The quality of your painting and your teaching style is superb, sir!... One point I noted on an earlier basing video, you were using water to lubricate "Greenstuff" two part putty. Have you tried using a very tiny amount of vaseline or enamel thinner to lubricate it?.. So much easier with no loss of adhesion and can be worked to a glass smooth finish so no need for sanding, which it doesn't react well to... Thanks again for such top quality output. An inspiration to me and so easy to watch.

    • @VinceVenturella
      @VinceVenturella  2 года назад

      Richard, thank you! That all means a great deal to me and I really apprecaite it. As to the water vs. vaseline/other lubricants for green stuff, yep, i've tried other items and just didn't like it. The water is a little finicky in the moment, but just makes it easier for me in the long run.

    Very nice. I appreciate the never give up attitude. When things don't necessarily work out how I planned I struggle to gain my enthusiasm back. I'm a new painter so to get to the point I'm happy with it takes me a lot longer than painters that have years on me. The worse thing that almost made me give up was spraying gloss varnish and destroying hours of work. I like how there's no editing in you're videos gives me hope that painters of your level still make mistakes.

    You mention that this is a base for an important figure, and I was wondering how much thought you put into figure integration and pinning when building the base. With my project, because it's a massive metal monstrosity, I worry about building the best forest base I can, only to fail at pinning at the final hurdle! Is there any advice you can give on how you would tackle something similar with the techniques you demonstrated here?

    A little alternate tip, if you don´t want to use pine bark mulch and resin stones.
    In Painting Buddha painting alchemy dvds, they use this recipe to make stones/slate
    You take some Milliput (standard or fine white), some FIMO modelling clays and some brown stuff.
    Then roll out the miliput,fimo and brown stuff into thin thin layers.
    (in painting acadamy they do this by putting it inside some baking paper and use a spraycan to roll it into layers.)
    Once you have 10 or 20 pieces of layers of the different material, put them on top of one another like a sandwich.
    A little like this: One layer of miliput, then fimo ,another layer of miliput, then some brown stuff and then another miliput etc etc.
    Do so loosely do not press down hard on it, so it becomes airtight.
    Dap on it loosely and allow the layers to work together.
    Once you have the right height for your stone (if you haven´t made enough layers just break your "sandwich" in half and put the two half's on top of one another)
    Put it in the oven and bake it at either 250 degrees fahrenheit or 120 degrees Celsius for 21 to 23 minuets.
    You might want to get a smaller oven for this since 1: When it bakes, it reeks of burnt rubber
    2 Its probably not too healthy to make your food, in the same oven you are make this kind of stuff in.
    Also bake it in a well ventilated area, just to be on the safe side.
    Once its done take it out and use a pair of pliers to break it apart and use some sculpting tools (preferably one with large flat surface on it) to shape it into the kind of rock you want.
    You will notice that in most cases, the places where you put the fimo will be the places it breaks off most easily.
    Also if you want it to look like slate avoid the soft round edges.
    I have used it before and it produces some nice result and you will have a lot of smaller pieces that can be used as smaller rocks.

    Love all your stuff, I can never go back and agree with a black rim tho unless it's a display diorama or bust, for wargaming it's always a bad idea as it contrasts heavily with what's on top as well as the table. Theoretically the best is to take the general color of what's on top the base and make the rim one shade darker. GW does this with their marketing art on boxes, for example the start collecting boxes. The science is there, but at the same time using a black rim is also a stylistic choice, even if technically a bad one, it's more important to factor in preference than science.
    I mean look at goblin green, it looks terrible but in a way it's also super nostalgic, it's of a style long gone that most people nowadays wouldn't like but if you were in the hobby from a certain time period it's a classic look.

    Loved the vid!! Definitely learnt some new tricks, as an aside how would you make a tree with limbs large enough to believably hold a model on one of it's limbs/is there a kit one could use without *too* much effort(If there isn't that'd be fine, but not havign to reinvent the wheel would be nice)? (Thinking Mirkwood Ranger from the GW Middle Earth range)

      I’d make a twisted wire tree, I’ve never done a video, but it’s pretty easy, and if you search for making your own trees from wire, you’ll see them.

      Cut out small sections basically, make it so multiple bases together have all of these elements.

      Also, how do I varnish over metallic paint? Most cities of sigmar units have a lot of armor and such, and I read that matte varnish will ruin the shine effect. I intend to play the game as well, and I heard varnish is a must for that. @@VinceVenturella

      So if I pain normally, not in this sequence, I can just use a thinned down matte varnish like Citadel Stormshield, and just brush over everything besides metal.

      Regarding basing, since I have watched all your basing videos but I did not catch how do you varnish them so all the flock sits in place.
      Does highly watered PVA glue do the job? Or I can buy matte spray varnish?

    Paint the base Goblin Green, cover the base in PVA glue, sprinkle thoroughly with a mix of dried oregano, basil and thyme, then give it 10 minutes in a preheated hot-air oven at 150 deg celsius.
    Boom, you now have a fragrant but ruined base and need to follow Vince's advice instead of this one.
