I think he will just have to be the worst chaplain ever.
I gave him a black shoulder, but on the wrong side cause of his stupid eagle nonses, and his helmet on the back is a black helm in a little nod to what he should be like, hehe
I would say he only has an hour or two left and thats mostly final metal details and finishing off all the browns, maybe touching up the osl. Loads of fun anyway, and I think he looks a little more respectable now than he did a few hours ago!
This is showing as slightly blurry for some reason for me, if it is for you just right click and view image

Looking good so far! I like the blue and the weathering on the armor.
I was hoping you wouldn't have finished his skin, he almost looked as if he was apart of the blue man group

You *might* consider putting a little green stuff right in the center of that front fender. It's just such a big, obvious gap... detracts from the model and it would be such an easy fix.

The difference a gradient airbrushed base coat makes is craaaazy, it really is. It does however make the model look a bit crappy untill it is nearly finished, as so much of it will be the same colour
I'm enjoying doing quick updates too, very fun
Currently experimenting with my cam, working out distance from model, lighting, focus, saturation etc, Ill post the results as a very simple test vid soon and you can see if it is remotely good enough for quick tuts.
I hope it will be, if the focus and detail is good enough then I can sort out the lighting and backdrop etc

Oh no.. maybe one day ;D The world is not ready.
OK here we go Can't link the HD version so would be best to click it and go HD. This is mostly me talking to myself while trying out various settings, I want to know if you figure this quality and angle will be good enough for tuts. As the vid progresses I change the lighting a fair bit, let me know when you think the lighting was best please

I think the settings you had at the end were good, regarding brightness and contrast, etc. Definitely dont use autofocus. Id suggest if you want to zoom in, that you pause the vid and then edit in some zoomed stills. Autofocus is just gonna cause too much hassle imo.
Love the accent too Reminds me of annie mac.

The setting you had going at the end of the video seem reasonable. Although as they say, The proof of the pudding is in the eating", so it once we see a video with you painting it should be easier to offer advice/critique.
Nice use of the bathrack

It looked like you had the settings pretty close to perfect near the end. You will def have to tweak them a little again once you change your background colour.
Painting position looked great, especially if you had a base to hold on to and it was a hair higher like you described.
The autofocus worked well but was kinda messing with my head a little when you were moving quickly detailed *zomed in* looks might require a second set of settings or maybe a second camera if you wanted to get fancy.
I would also like to note that it was VERY loud in my headset when you placed your camera back on your apparatus. I may still hear the ringing....
I may have also cracked up a little when you called your camera a douche bag

C-Sharp: I would suggest using a non-white background. A neutral color, such as a grey, brown, or medium blue. White is going to throw off the camera.
A-Minor: Your voice is just fine, everyone can understand you (you actually speak quite clearly), and the accent is adorable to us foreigners. Keep talking in the videos.

I'm with Brian on the background. White is only going to compound the exposure issues you're having problems with. Light grey would probably work nicely and not effect the color processor of your camera.
The focus at the end was fine.
Great to hear your voice Iffy. Not as heavy an accent as I was anticipating & I found you perfectly understandable.
Anvildude: "Honestly, it's kinda refreshing to see an Ork vehicle that doesn't look like a rainbow threw up on it."
So I will be using a neutral background cover, maybe a nice brown blue towel actually, that could work.
I will be keeping it at the same height and angle.
I won't be using autofocus and will instead of using snapshots to zoom in (thats a brilliant idea btw).
And will also try to not deafen poor Logg Frogg with the BATH.. THING.. again.
The saturation won't be a big deal once I have a proper daylight bulb over me for painting too
Also, if anyone fancied that warjack or just wants to donate towards keeping me stocked with food and coffee ( both required to stay living), he and his little boneripper friend are both up for auction here

An Ifalna tutorial would basically be advice on how to sit at your desk with your face on your keyboard and a bottle of whiskey lightly grasped in one hand. I doubt many people would find it that useful
First of the dreadfleet is getting work started. Cannons and planks are about done, needs the rest of the panelling and shading to go on the deck.
Golds are about 50%, will need to be tidied up after.
These things are so.. so small..
Whalemusic, have I mentioned that I hate you yet? (thats a lie)
Be glad you're not painting old Man o' war ships. Talk about TINY.
