The UV resin and the alcohol inks can be used together no problem. but alcohol slows down the hardening of the resin and makes it thinner, and the inks are extremely packed with pigment. so you need to mix them like one drop in 15ml, not one drop of ink into one drop of resin, or there will be so much alcohol in the resin, that it just wont work anymore. using 1:1 ratio will make it so that theres not enough resin particles touching each other, which means it just cant harden at all, so that was a goof on your side. this will literally not work with any resin and alcohol ink combo. so the 10/10 scam rating seems a bit harsh when this is just the wrong way to use the ink.
@@retroferret3424 worth mentioning that the alcohol will evaporate from the resin if left long enough.. Possibly. Depending how thick the resin is and how warm the air is.
I'm also unsure if they were even using the correct wavelength UV lamp, as the one they bought in the video was 300~ nm when most UV resins ive used are typically around the 405nm range for activation
I really like your channel, but not really a fan of those "unboxing" shitty Chinese scam companies. It encourages them mostly just by buying them and most of this stuff is gonna end up in garbage at the end. Not really environmental. I get that it helps the views and the channel, but I know your painting skills can do so much more in cam than these.
you didn't get scammed on the glue, with that low viscus version you hold parts together and put the tip in the joint, and then gently apply pressure on the bottle and its works great. another great trick is to use a needle and cut open the head on the needle so you get a tiny fork, then you can use that to apply the glue with, works great for photoetched parts and super thin styrene stuf that might melt with tamiya extra thin
In defense of the "$3" rotary tool you bought, it's actually an engraver, not a full rotary tool like a Dremil. It works well for what it is, and I've got the same one that I've found to be gentle enough to clean support bumps and work on resin 3D prints without cracking them.
I've had mine for years and it works, it also doesn't drain the batteries when just laying around. I don't use it as a dremel though since it isn't a dremel but it works great for the simple stuff.
Thank you. Like seriously, I don't think I ever would have learned this (therefore ever tried alcohol ink) without this comment on this video. Travel safe fellow traveller
@@nicholashurst780 you can also mix it in. but like... a few drops in a shotglass amount of resin. not 1:1. alcohol dilutes resin and makes it cure slower. thats why you can use it to clean resin spills, and clean resin with it in general. but using too much will make the resin particles not bond to each other anymore, since resin makes chains with itself when curing, and too much alcohol in there will make that impossible. so they just used it in a very bad way tbh (something i thought tehy would look up before saying its a scam, when this is literally how all alcohol inks work, not just "chinese" ones. its alcohol with pigment, its all the same ). it also says on bottles and packaging usually that you have to use a few drops per cup. theres enough pigment in there to still color it nicely. if you want solid color alcohol inks are bad in general. use pigment powder for that (takes longer to stir in tho, which is why alcohol inks exist, cause the pigment is already disolved into a liquid that easily mixes iwth resin). but also not in a 1:1 ratio. a small spoonfull for a big cup is enough here. but this will also make it cure slower cause light takes longer to get through to everything.
... So... well. Call me "good riddance" or whatever... Lines crossed. Promoting well known... I don't think there exists a fitting word for those sites ... site... Na. I saw that you already promoted Temu too with giving it visibility. That means the unsubscribe didn't work properly. Have the day you deserve.
@@gamingwithdaru Certainly all of the ones you can buy on Shien, Wish, and Temu. Hopefully he's eaten enough Lutfisk over the years to build up a tolerance!
I still like actual medical scalpel blades more than hobby knives.. You can get 100 pieces for like 20 bucks, there's a bunch of shapes, and you know the carbon steel quality and sharpnes QC is great, because it would be a big deal if a surgeon pulls one out and it's dull.. The sharpnes doesn't last as long because they're meant to be one time use, but there's nothing better than pulling a fresh one out and it just gliding through everything..
Can you folks recommend any good synthetic brushes? I am not comfortable using animal products to paint my mini's I think using kolinsky mink fur is an abhorrent practice and would appreciate some valuable recommendations that don't exploit animals in the process
That was kinda funny! I’ve actually never heard of that site before!?! Actually, it the beginning of the video you mentioned 4 or 5 different ones and I think I’ve only ever heard of 1 or 2 of them! And I wish more channels would bust scammers more often! But there was definitely a few products that I would like to know who makes and sells the best versions of them?!? Especially something that I could wear that would actually work great for a magnifying glass but also that I can still see normal in some way so I don’t have to take it fully off to get more paint on my brush?!? And also something I could add to my phone to take professional pictures?!? Because that is very frustrating that no matter how good something is that I just finished, it still looks so bad in my pictures!!! That and when it’s really big with many different dimensions a lot of it ends up blurry!!!
Nice tip for knife, you can buy a medical scalpel in pharmacy and a box of 100 blades for around the price of the GW knife, and 100 blades is enough for the rest of your life. I think it's more worst than 5$ knife with 5 blade you can found everywhere.
Honestly, can't really condone these videos as you're actually praising the sweat shop without talking about all the negatives. Also, showing off a mini that's a stolen design. 0/10, would ship to Siberia.
Was watching the video, I think the reason the alcohol colours for resin doesn't work is because of the ratio. As someone who makes resin dice, the alcohol and resin ratio is really important.
Those droppers of dye for resin are literally the same i got off of Temu a few weeks ago... they're pretty good with casting resin! the greens i got were a bit weak but everything else was good! . I do love how these websites are a literal gold mine...in that you have to spend a LOT of time 'mining' to find the odd little bit of gold xD . . . *** additional/edit... got that grinder from a poundshop years ago..... its fine for Balsa.... . . uhh...
This might be a dumb question: where can I buy models from other than etsy? I want to support creators but looking for more than just games workshop and etsy.
The paints are super cheap but theyre not for us. They're perfect for toddlers and little kids painting and just getting a bit messy. Reasonable easy to clean. Not big pots so if they grab it its not huge amount of paint being thrown about. It's just not meant for minatures. 18:29
love these guys, but man, people from first world countries really don't understand what a scam is. These are cheap itens for people on a budget. Not scams at all. Given that i get the seo reasoning for call it that
I would love to see you guys do a paint off form one of these sites, say both get like 100 euro each to buy stuff and see how well of a job you could do painting one of the models form the site with the same supplies XD as usual love the vid keep it up guys.
"SHEIN is geared toward Women. We can't find Warhammer stuff." I laughed, not because I use SHEIN (I don't) but because I'm a woman who paints miniatures and hates fast fashion.
There's a really easy way to find some of the coolest teeny tiny hobby stuff, especially on sites like this, that you'll never see in traditional hobby spaces: look for nail art supplies And that exact water pot is also sold by a bunch of well known art suppliers, you just got the smarter option
your never gonna not get a non pulse on those style compressors, without a tank ALL compressors will give you pulsing. Its not a scam because it does what they advertise, it works, but yeah without a res it'll pulse every stroke of the compressor itself. You can technically get around it, by adding a reservoir into the loop but at that point you might as well have brought a more expensive compressor. But there designed normally around doing cakes or make up application.
Hey Squidmar, Ive got a few ideas for a videos for you. What if you used your skills as mini painters and the tools you have for adjacent hobbies. Use your airbrush to do makeup, use your brushes to do freehand art on finger nails, use warhammer models to make a train diorama, I'm sure Lukas will love that last one. Love your content
Potentially a “noob” question, but, the splotches with “recess” etc at 18:09 underneath the cheap paint bottles on the table, what do they represent? 😅

Knowing what GSW are like, their UV resin is probably just the Shein stuff in a different bottle, with better lawyers.
The label on the bottle is why GSW sell it at higher price^^

Cool series, but none of these things on these websites are "scams". They're just cheap junk mostly.
Also not a cool series tbh compared to last year's content.
Shien, the Legal sweat shop
Nike*
Silly, all sweatshops are legal!
Just gotta put them in countries where they're legal
At least they aren't sponsoring the video, but these organisations are widely known to be exploitative so still feels bad to be making videos on it
Disagree, they can make videos on Auschwitz if they want its their channel
That chest Mini appears to be Loot Studios "Chest Mimic" from their Fantasy Welcome Pack.
Yup, I think you’re right. And whoever is selling it doesn’t have a license, because Loot doesn’t offer merchant licenses.
@AwkwardBirb lol if it's actually from China they don't care.
I remember when you used to make videos about painting minis.
Like the one from last week? :D
Yeah one video about normal painting every 1.5 months... Seems a little light for a channel about painting minis...
I think that was an Artisan Guild mimic model
From their "Treasure Chests & Mimics" set
Loot Studios has a similiar one. Would need to compare them though
Idk why they don't just look it up with reverse image search
The Alcohol ink you use to paint on top of transparent cured resin. It will change the color and keep the transparency.
Thank you. Like seriously, I don't think I ever would have learned this (therefore ever tried alcohol ink) without this comment on this video. Travel safe fellow traveller

Please no more consumerist videos like that please. Shein is so climaticide…
Looking forward to your new series "Does it smell?!"
I have the exact alcohol inks, they work wonderfully in normal 2 part resin. I assume they're fore that and not the UV resin.
I love the scam series!
The mimic mini is artisan guild I believe btw!

The best ones we've tried are colineo from davinci,it gets about 90% of the way. But they don't quite gold as fine tip as long

15 Warhammer? what was labled as Warhammer items on the items you bought? bit missleading headline.
They're all the same but by restarting new companies doing the exact same with a different name scammers can keep on with their business. Old as day.
How is any of this really a scam..?
And how many UV resins don't stink?
U cannot use a part of the plant as fallen tree? Or chopped? Then the treasuretounge so a scam for being ok? I dont understand ur rating
So.. what all was a warhammer scam?
Nothing was warhammer.. just really cheap hobby stuff
the miniature stuff is not a scam lol its the same exact things you buy from hobby lobby and other hobby stores lol its not even cheaper
"this is the worst airbrush"
but
but thats exactly the same as the one i got at the local hardware store...
i do have a better compressor tho i guess
hey great video guys thx. would love to see u play a game age of sigmar maybe the winner gets a
cookie ^^
Попробуйте заказать из России. У нас тут свой Warhammer с СРМ и контрафактом.
UV resin always smells, some just stronger than other!
Nothing about these items are Warhammery. I guess they had to scam us to promote their video about scams.,
really is it 'warhammer' scams or 'hobby tool scams' i mean i get it warhammer gets more clicks but not seeing much warhammer in this list.
Yoooo! My friend 3D printed that mimic at 3:50 for me a year or so ago. Love that lil thing.
I like how you censored the drivers licence later in the video but not earlier xD
you need to share the links... come on, it's a shore looking for the same products
For anyone interested in the mimic stl, it is from Artisan Guild: Aranist Guild.
Did you pay extra taxes or import duties while shipping to Sweden on any of these sites?
I have to be honest... I miss "WARLORD TITAN!" in the videos.
I've bought that same resin on Amazon. It works really nice.
That mimic chest can be gotten off of etsy for cheaper (I actually have it)
"SHEIN is geared toward Women. We can't find Warhammer stuff." I laughed, not because I use SHEIN (I don't) but because I'm a woman who paints miniatures and hates fast fashion.

Most items here are nothing to do with Warhammer only hobbying as a whole.
lumping in Aliexpress, a general marketplace, is not fair here.
I feel like these sites exist only because YTers do these videos for them.
The mimic looks like the Artisan's Guild one, of the mages set
I think that the mimic miniature was done by "Artisan Guild"
100% pure high-grade chinesium...only the best.
It's pronounced as "She In", as in "SHE is IN the car".

About the thin superglue. I love that stuff for glueing terrain / dirt / rocks. It has lovely capillary action and dirt sticks almost immediately. I always use these extremely thin ones on my bases. It also seals wood / cork / etc. A local electrical component shop sells a pack of 3 + a sniczer for about 1 dollar and I usually buy it bulk. It is so sheap and so much quicker than PVA or modpodge for making bases.
It also reacts with PVA creating a nasty gue perfect for tyranids. So I would not say it is a bad thing :D
Those paints are the default children's paints that come bundled with every art package over here in the US. They freaking suck lol
