Here it is.. I expect this tutorial to be about 3 parts. Just a lot of elements on the mini to cover. Enjoy and check back as the following vids will be edited into this first post

How does the pigment powder stay on without flaking off?

I applied it over the wash while it was wet. Or you can dilute matte medium with alcohol till water like and bind the pigment to the model.

Really high quality stuff. Looking forward to the next installments, thanks.

amazing, really am enjoying it - your inspiring many people with the great tutorials you are makings. on to part 2!! (when will it be up?)

offtopic: Do you ship to australia?

edit: can you list the colours you have used? (in all the videos)

Some times I wish I could see some of these in actual time and hear what your are thinking while painting.

And... Dang, there is a lot of detail on that model.

Can't wait to see the next one!

hehe part 2 will be done next week.

I ship world wide but am restricted to small boxes. Each Box can hold only 9 items and cost $12.95 to ship. I wonder if paypal is world wide but that is how I accept payments. Just e-mail through my site with the order and I'll shoot you an invoice. The next lager box holds about 27 and costs $41.95usd to send internationally.

I don't talk.. I hold my breath and let it out slowly.. kinda annoying to hear when my nostril is resting on the stereo microphone

Nice tutorial, definately waiting for the second and third installments.

Funnily enough though it was interesting to see you start this model the same way you started the White scar and infact after watching your white scar tutorial i thought you could probably do a space wolf that way

Quick question. Is there a something similar to your soft washes or something that could be used in place of them? Is it possible to sub in the Citadel equivalent washes and maybe dilute them a little further?

hehe yeah with colors like white and yellow or SW grey it's the same process. Building up. I show the process from the beginning every time even though you guys know I'm gonna put the black wash over primer. I had to keep in mind the new painters that would search for chapters and made the vids complete.

Black wash. GW could be diluted but you can see a youtuber named girlpainting which is the person I grabbed the technique from. She uses all GW stuff. So actually you could substitute with badab black.. you will run out quickly which is expensive. My softbody black is the consistency of didi's magic ink or wonderwash, but mine is formulated to go over primer well. most go over primer nice and absorb in weird pattern, while mine.... well you have seen the vids

Nice stuff - you make it look so easy. I also appreciate how you can see just how much you thin your paints before you put them on. Great tutorial.

Can you give us a preview of what you're going to do with that flat Space Wolves Grey?

Hello and great video,

does I see this right? Is there a foundation of SpaceWolveGrey on this armor before washing?

No the model was primed white then washed.

very nice.. I assume the model in washed in the intial stage because it leaves the nooks of the model dark on a white undercoat? which you then paint around..

Anyways very nice.

That's exactly it Shaman! I do it to turn the model black and white and basically just paint inside the lines. With little clean up areas where the wash some times settles too thick. But basically that's it for my table top.

ok cool thanx for the confirmation

Hi I just watched your White Scars and Space Wolves videos...

Im amazed at the speed at which you paint - ROFL!

Seriously though, it looks like your paint is very thin for the most part - what would be nice is to see the mixtures you use, the dilution, how long you allow it to dry for before the next coat goes on etc.

also the primer you use - is it a spray on or a paint on.
do you wash your mini's with warm water and soap before priming etc.

Part 2 is now live!

Holy smokes... tons of detail... i can only imagine how long it took you to do all that... looks like you have it fastforward... but how long are you really taking with each stroke... it looks like your just throwing paint on the model

I actually paint pretty quick. Without worrying about video taping it would take about 45mins. But with camera, about 2 hours.

I've been led to believe that priming is a "make or break" part of the process...

Can you give us some advice / tutorials on your priming technique / what you use to prime?

I have used both the Citadel Chaos Black and the Armory Black (both sprays).

I tried both the single shot and multiple quick passes (holding the can about 20cm away) but in both cases it obscures the fine details too much esp. when you start painting over it.

Admittedly this was before hearing about thinning paints and painting with washes and inks etc.

Any advice?

Also how many washes did you use on this model in all
