I would just Like to like to say that I really enjoy your channel. The combination of minis and the good old out doors is just the best. Keep it up. I've been watching now for a little while and particularly like the mesbg stuff, having just got back into lotr and am completing my Lorien and Dunlendings armies simultaneously (not recommended), but having a great time. Just as a side note, New Zealand might have taller mountains, windier windswept bits and vastly more majestic sweeping vistas, but it will never be the place that Tolkien intended as Middle Earth. England and the British Isles were, and would still be, his far green country. 👍🏻

Awesome video as always mate. Firstly do you compose all of the backing tracks on your videos? (if so FUCK YEAH!) it’s one of my favourite features of your videos. Secondly here’s a fun fact - Scotland and New Zealand are polar opposites in terms of magnetic true north. I know this because New Zealand is one of the only places to successfully introduce a foreign salmon (from Scotland) so maybe they are both middle earth… we just have the upside down version. Can’t wait for part two

Which makes the copyright strike you copped on your corsairs video even more infuriating.

@BattleCamperHome
2 жыл бұрын
Thanks very much indeed, couldn't agree more. That beach was superb! Can't claim to be an expert haha, but I think the hints I can give is: - bring a watertight water pot, a chewing gum tub is excellent: they have a strong seal and a little lip to prevent splashes. They sometimes have a rim in the lid that collects a little water which makes mixing it easy. - Manage your expectations about how much you'll get done. I tend to find it works best when I pick one or two colours, or a distinct feature, and plan only to get that bit done because it always goes slower outdoors. Once you know what you're going to do, mentally paint through the steps in your head so you know what paints to bring. it SUCKS when you arrive on location and you've missed a critical paint! - generally don't plan to paint fine details outside. Unless the light is just right, it'll be tough to see. Its best to paint larger areas, or do washes or simply edge hihglighting. - Think about how you'll be able to change water. If there's no source nearby, you'll need to bring a big bottle for water changes! Otherwise, I'd say pack as light as you can. Try not to bring unnecessary extras. hope this helps, let us know how you get on!
