Creator of the Color Cube here! 👋 Thank you so much for this amazing video.i had an influx of sales over the weekend and didn’t know why, until one of your amazing fans left me a comment and mentioned your video. I’ve been curious about seeing the Color Cube used for miniatures, but haven’t seen anyone use it until now. I loved the results! All of your extra tips were amazing. I’ll be sharing your video with my audience too- and please reach out about becoming an affiliate so your fans can support you while purchasing😊

Alright. I'll admit it. I was ready to be an asshole. In my mind, I was ready to write off this product and video completely. And, I was wrong. I have a huge love of colors. I love them so much. I think of color schemes in my free time. I have spend hundreds of hours of my life looking into things like the advanced mechanisms of color theory and physics, looking into color inspirations, etc. Colors are my greatest strength. And like, even then, I have thousands of pictures saved that I have swatched myself. I have no less than three add ons for my browser that can get color info on any page or image I'm looking at. And like, thats so much work! Why *wouldn't* someone need a faster and more efficient way to understand color and how it looks? Thats so smart and practical. It gives so much knowledge so quickly. And its accessible! Just because I am a color fanatic who can think of these things, doesn't mean that I don't basically do this exact thing the hard way all the time. I'm sure this product was made out of the same love of colors and beautiful schemes that I have. And on that merit, I will probably be buying it. Thanks for making it :)

The “shield towel” is inspired by Ancient Greek shields that sometimes had a cloth hanging down to help catch up arrows that would otherwise hit the soldier’s feet.

It also has the added bonus that you always know where your towel is - in case you happen across a Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal.

And it was used a lot in medieval time also. In chivalry time there was a lot of dueling rules and a good one was that when the weather was very hot, your opponent would be sweating a lot so you could help him by gently rubbing their face with your shield.

We did that in paint ball. Hang a towel from your belt and if a paint ball hit it, it wouldn't burst and didn't count as being a hit. Also you didn't get hit in the nuts.

Love the idea behind the color cubes, and the end model looks awesome. I'd love to see this become a series where you take a model from your pile of shame, generate a random number, and then paint it using the scheme from that color cube card - I think watching you work through those challenges could be really interesting.

Colour cube challenge idea. Your task is to paint the scheme of the 4x main marine chapters - ultramarines, blood angels, dark angels and space wolves. You pick 4x colour cards at random. You then have to apply a colour card to one of the 4x chapters and paint away - you still can obviously use black and white as well.

I have these and love them, especially because color choices are tough for me, too (even when I was using a color wheel before these cards). When you do start trying some new schemes, being able to see a real-life object using that scheme should also help give you confidence with the choices you make. But hey, worst case, repaint! Good luck! :-)

I would like to ask for your experienced opinion using agitators on acrylic paints. Many opinions out there say to use stainless steel ball bearings yet others say no, due to the fact that these will only damage your acrylic paints when they rust inside. Other opinions suggest to use glass beads because they will not rust; but glass is sometimes not heavy enough as stainless steel to be a good agitator. Lastly, I have also come across others who suggest using volcanic rock beads as agitators because they are natural rock & will not damage acrylic paints. What are the best agitators You know of that will not damage acrylic paints? Your wisdom & advice is greatly appreciated James
