"sometimes the results just look terrible" Shows an example that's actually really well done.
-
I almost cried when he weathered the golden demon white dreadnought...
-
Me: Looks at thumbnail Also me: "Both... Both is good."
-
I really struggle with painting being colorblind, but this video helped me wrap my mind around weathering. Thank you very much.
-
Chipping like a potato... 🤔 I see what you did there!
-
It's AMAZING that I can live in a time where I can have access to masteclass like this. I remember buying my 1st minis in the 90's and I had noone to ask or talked to about the techniques. amazing.
-
Why did the "YIKES" example look good!?
-
....what's wrong with the dreadnought The chipping looks pretty good
-
Trov, I really am gratefull that you exist. Your humor in the vids, the sheer quality and knowledge of your content (enhanced by your history as a teacher), ... The list goes on. I truly wish you the best in life. Thank you, M

Weathering is mostly about being brave with a rough uneven sponge with just the right amount of paint..

When I was younger I built a lot of model cars I would get dents and scrapes by using heat. I would use a heat gun in certain areas and then take a wooden dowel and push areas in also did the same effect with pins to get scrapes and scratches. Dents I would do post primer pre paint. Scratches post paint. Also flatten tires. I used to run working l.e.d. head and tail lights. I got bored with making them look good so I started making junkyard cars and accident smashed cars. Two car accident scenes and cars smashed into trees. My local hobby town put several in the front window.
-
you had me at the 'affection' you showed your paints! good job!
-
So many great tips! Thank you so much Uncle Trovarion! :D
-
excellent! I had just decided that doing chipping and weathering is going to be how I paint all my mini's. I did my imperial knight with chipping and decided to do my necrons from indomius like this as well.
-
Leaving one or 2 panels in perfect condition suggests the panel(s) was/were damaged and replaced. It can work very well if done correctly.
-
Thanks for the tips. Haven’t got round to trying out chipping yet, I like the aesthetic but I’m worried I’ll mess up models that took me many days to paint! 😅
-
Your first "yikes" example looks better than anything I can do.
-
Brilliant advice. I think sometimes it’s tempting to do too much weathering the bike looked fantastic
-
I really need to get a nice pointy brush for this. Thanks for the advices, it's helps alot!
