Fantastic tutorial, my friend! I love the look you achieved! I'll definitely be trying the yellow glaze with the gold in the future! Also, I wanted to thank you! I've been working on a Salamanders Redemptor Dread for my brother and your tutorials have really been my inspiration for my work on it! ~ Wolfbrother Methos
Oh, side note: I noticed you use a lot of Instar paints. I have a couple that I use and love some of them more than others. Is there a particular reason you favor them? Should I look into expanding my line? ~ Wolfbrother Methos
The dropper bottles are definitely a notch in their favor, and IIRC they are chaper per volume. But my favorite quality of Instar is I find their paint is more translucent, which makes it excellent for wet blending. Its also why I prefer their white pigments (cool grey, arctic white, etc). With regards to whether you should expand into more of them, well I guess its a personal preference choice, and if the pros out way the cons. For me, while overall I prefer the Instar over Citadel's base/layers I still buy Citadel paints more often because they are more accessible.
Amazing video, I love your tutorials, they're very high quality in both production and results, besides they don't make you feel like the techniques are out of the watcher's abilities but motivate instead! A question though, while I know that when airbrushing base paints you need to thin them, do you need to thin shades (and glazes)? I'm asking considering they're already so watery.
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated! Also, excellent question. I actually don't usually thin shades when applying them in the airbrush, since it can apply it very gradually. Plus if you don't thin it down, you can pour out any access back into the paint pot.
The head on this model is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo BAD. Holy shit that cloak looks bad too, just because of the colors. Everything else looks damn good...
Nice figure. Very nice painting work too. Thank you for the tutorial. Now I'll have to go get one from Ebay 🤫
He makes for a pretty cool captain/commander stand-in. Post War of the Spider, do you have a particular Shield Host you prefer? If so, which one?
Wow, absolutely beautiful work. Thank you for sharing with us. 🤩
Happy you enjoyed it :)
Weird side note: as someone who is fastidious about my fingernails, kudos & thank you for having clean fingernails!
Haha! I try my best to keep that in mind. It's good to know its not unappreciated XD
Amazing paint job! As one who doesn't really focus on painting well, I have learned some great technical tips to enhance my painting! Thanks!

Great explanation, my man! Thanks again!
What paintbrushes do you use? I'm looking to upgrade my current set of brushes to something more comfortable for my hands
Currently, the Raphael 8404 series is my go to. Not sure if it is less or more comfortable than what you are using now though- hope that helps :)
