Coming from the more recent videos to these older ones I can sens distinct lack of metal and being yelled at to PAINT MORE MINIIIIIIS ! Thanks, Scott. I'm seeing those videos a month too late but i've been learning and trying to imitate what you do from more recent videos. But these ones help to hammer down the basics. Cheers from France.
poster putty, for avoiding painting the surfaces that are gonna be glued later on. and for sticking the minis on the wooden blocks or whatever. and clothepins (with toothpicks) for setting small pieces to dry.
Really like the vids man! The information is clear and helpful and the production quality is top notch. Hope you get some more views dude, you deserve it!
Dude. You freaked me out. I did not expect you to call me out by name. And chad is a great name, its very unique. I've met two other chads in my life, but I've lost track of how many michaels I know
That makes two of us! I was actually taking a few notes, and it was unnerving, to say the least! Like, WHAT?! Chads are much more rare than people think. Rydjord, you're only the fourth I've ever "met," and I'm closing in on forty years old! Michaels NEVER have trouble finding license-plate key-chains with THEIR name on them... :D
This guy at the GW I go to had his exacto knife slip out of his hand and literally go into his leg. Manager had to call an ambulance and everything! Total nerd.
Rio Grande jewerly supply has a lot of tools suited for miniature work. Cilps, files, pliers, saws, razors, dremmel supplies, sculpting tools. They are reasonable in price comparably in any range from cheap Pakistani tools, German, American, and the expensive Swiss made stuff. I've been using the casting wax lately to help fill in gaps.
You also forgot some very important 'tools'. A large green cutting mat, at least one daylight lamp, and a large solid table to be your painting table. (4 foot by 2 foot seems perfect. This is smaller than a dining table yet bigger than those small IKEA tables.)
Brass Rod over Paperclips, don't skimp and think aluminium or copper/copper like wire will do the job as it will bend all over the place when you try to push one end into a cork, but will do for small joins if nothing else is available.
since you're going as far as pinning and drilling the minis - I think you could also mention magnets. Magnetizing the base of the mini alone does wonder for storing them later, and you can magnetize different setups on the minis that use different weapons and stuff. Also you could say a thing or two about floc for miniatures, since you already mention sand. Finally, PVA glue is often better for basing, so you could add it into glue section. p.s. And I don't think that clippers are essential. You basically use them only for 1 minute to cut the pieces from the sprew, and honestly - you can use exacto knife + a bit of care for the same thing. You don't need an 8-15 dollar tool for that step.
Dude, nice channel! thanks jazza for guiding me here Well, I'm new here...is there any video talking about Washes? It's possible to make any homemade washes?
Question; i have citadel and army painter paints but ONLY my army painter black has problems. I will paint an area, and mysteriously an hour or two later a piece or scrape of black is gone. I repair it and later another. This continues until i paint over black with something. The black just looks chalky. It seems to come off with the slightest bump, shake or scrape. Im careful with my mini, so i dont see it scratching. I cant figure out why only black seems so sensative. Thankfully, nothing has needed black. I use it as a base to paint metallics over. Eventually, I'll need a strong black though.
In your intro you show your Masterson wet palette with paint directly on the sponge; no paper. Is this how you use the product? Please elaborate if you can as to why.
can some one give me advise im just starting out and i want to know what size brushes i should get and what each size is used for cause most vids ive found never talk about the brush i should be using
The majority of my cutting, if not all of it, is done with clippers, so the mat isn't doing a whole lot other than sitting there looking sexy, or being the occasional ruler. Thanks for watching!
Or protecting your surface from paint spills, glue drips, x-acto slips, hobby saw abrasions, putty mishaps, you name it. And no sweat, keep up the good content.

As a Chaz, I consider myself in the same bucket as Chads. Our names are often mistaken for one another.
This sounds like the kind of thing a Chad would say
@@CordedGold I understand the getting confused part. My name is jesse, people always think i say jeffey. WHO THE FUCK IS NAMED JEFFEY?!
Quality shirt lad.
Electrostatic grass is great. PVA wood glue for bases. Brush cleaning products (soap, cleaner etc.)
This guy at the GW I go to had his exacto knife slip out of his hand and literally go into his leg. Manager had to call an ambulance and everything! Total nerd.
Damn thing is round. Turns out it rolls a lot!
My name's Chad, this video freaked me the fuck out. Also thanks for all the advice.
Aaron Cheeni LOL yes! I knew it would get someone.
Your account name says otherwise.
Remik z oh snap
maybe is his dads and he is "Chad Cheeni" hahah
Aaron Cheeni i
Mystery Science Theater 3000. One of my favorites shows!

Hands up who's here cos they've absolutely bummed the loving life out of Scott's videos during lockdown? Also, LOVING Trapped Under Plastic!
Love this video, dog’s foot = genius haha! Feels like you start getting your groove in this one! (Watching from the beginning of the series)
i fucking love this guy.
I fucking love you
You should make an amazon wishlist for this to make it easy for people to quickly find and purchase.
Great idea!
@@MiniacYes please!
Just discovered your channel, and it's great! This video cracked me up a few times. Keep up the good work!
thanks, man. I appreciate the kind words!

MST3K? I like you.
Hey I'm very new to this. How do I pin my miniature to the wooden block as you mention @ 2:35 ? Thank you

Love the Ireland t-shirt! Hello from Ireland, love the videos!

I also like the foam Finger nail files , they will flex some when working and don't forget Putty for filling gaps,
Good stuff! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Sir!
Cool video! Very informative and well edited which makes it fun to watch. Great job!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I thought you said paint Mormony. Thanks for all the advice.
Dude, i subscribed a day ago. Love your vids. But this ons had me laughing out loud. Keep it up. Love your content.
Thank you for idea of palette! I did the same. And it's better than my old)
I'm glad to hear it :) thanks for watching!
Good vid with solid information Scott. Enjoyed the craziness:)
I'm glad you did! Thanks for watching :)
3:43 there has to be a story there.
I went outside and grabbed my dogs paw after he was playing in the yard in an attempt to extra dirt! Haha. Thanks for watching :)
Love your channel! Keep up the great work!! 😄
Thank you, sir! Thanks for watching :)
That’s the right shirt to wear !!!
A key tool in my miniature painting is Mary Jane. Very versatile:) cheers sdub from Denver
"from Denver" ;)
We need to play Warhammer then my brother
I would love that
That is Awesome!!! Hit me up on my email. Smokincodz@hotmail.com. We will totally nerd out
I live in Minnesota!
The link for sanding twigs on the gear page is broken :(
Thank you
If I use regular acrylic paint from Walmart, will that impact the quality of the miniature?
Ramiro Nava most likely, watch my "is miniature painting cheap?" video for details on that
Haha my name
Is chad too 😂 thanks for the tools info 😁
Can you list the brand and size of brushes you use while painting please?
Erin Flint Raphael 8404 0-2
thank you so much. Fantastic series of videos.
I see that you have wooden blocks, I would love to see what other methods you use to hold a miniature while you paint.
That's it for now, but I do know of a few other ways people hold models!
I also build Gundams, and I find thin tweezers to be great multi tools.
In your intro you show your Masterson wet palette with paint directly on the sponge; no paper. Is this how you use the product? Please elaborate if you can as to why.
I use a piece of parchment paper directly over it. it's just so soaked in water that it's very translucent!
2:11 lol dog paw trick
can some one give me advise im just starting out and i want to know what size brushes i should get and what each size is used for cause most vids ive found never talk about the brush i should be using
Lucifer 0 and 1 should be good.
What kind of case do you use for your wet pallet? I see lots of people using it but I'm not sure where to find it.
Here it is! www.amazon.com/Sta-Wet-Palette-Keeps-Paints-Airtight/dp/B000C18GTE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1466263894&sr=8-2&keywords=sta-wet+palette
+SDub Awesome thanks!! How often do you change the foam layer?
+Jeff Phillips haven't changed it ever, have had it for approximately 1.5 years
Great video! I must ask though, what do you use to stir the paints on your wet palette that separate over time?
either the back of a brush handle, or a crappy brushes bristles. thanks for watching!!
Was that Mystery Science Theater 3K?
You forgot to mention the item under the tools...the cutting mat! The most important imo.
The majority of my cutting, if not all of it, is done with clippers, so the mat isn't doing a whole lot other than sitting there looking sexy, or being the occasional ruler. Thanks for watching!
Or protecting your surface from paint spills, glue drips, x-acto slips, hobby saw abrasions, putty mishaps, you name it. And no sweat, keep up the good content.
dog paw method lol, i'll be sure to use that! ;)
0:42 actual footage of Scott being interrogated by an agent of the Imperial Inquisition
Note: GW's Mouldline Remover is a must!
Warhammer Workshop an xacto knife does just fine for me!
Miniac ahh yes WARHAMMER Workshop my favourite business, lol
dawn soap and toothbrush. wash your minis before you prep them
Thanks!
thanks for submitting!
Subbed so you don't die lad.
Stephen Rowley much obliged!
3:25
Why does almost every mini painting person avoid Testor paint like the plague? Is it the McDonalds of model paint?
MST3K reference! Huzzah!
Heatgun?
okay but you really don't NEED half of this :D
I subb'd ! Dont die ! Your are very funny ! I appreciate that a lot so the video doesn't get boring (no offense). Keep up the great work !
I think a toothbrush would be an honorable mention here.
Agreed!
What kind of name is Chad anyways!? :) Great video!
Freaking Chad! Thanks for watching :)
Came to learn the essential tools for painting miniatures.
