It doesn't seem that long ago you were splashing Nuln Oil all over Stormtroopers for Imperial Assault, and here you are making NMM look effortless. Fantastic work as always!

You convinced me to go out on a limb and buy some Scale75 tube paints, which have intimidated me for a long time. I love contrast paints, but your skill and attention to detail have really pushed me to improve as a painter, and even though I stick with Legion over Shatterpoint, the videos give me a ton of things to try. Thanks, man!

Thank you so much! Yes, it's interesting; because both the gold and silver are in the same environment, they will reflect much the same colours, so I only had to remove the Yellow Ochre to create the look for the silver leg. 🙂

@Sorastro

Thank you for the kind words! I'm afraid I won't be producing a full-length video for the Ewoks however, as the main reason I cover some figures with a PDF is because they're a little quicker to produce, so allow me to cover more miniatures. All the information you need is still in the PDF guide, though!

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
@Sorastro

Hi James! I've heard all of the advice you describe, and it all sounds quite sensible to me! That being said, personally I've only ever used stainless steel agitators (for the Scalecolor paints), and I've not had any rusting issues myself. 😀

I’d like to ask about your AMAZING music. When you were creating it, what ideas did you have about what elements need to go into it to sound like additional music for the movies? I’m sure instrument choice was one, but what else?
@Sorastro
4 ай бұрын
Thank you for the interesting question! There are two other main elements - melody and harmony. Sometimes I'll create variations on some of the melodic themes from the OST (like the solo horn line you can hear at the beginning of the second piece in this video, but other times is more subtle fragments). And regarding harmony, John Williams likes to use "mediant" relationships in the SW music (where chords progress by intervals of a 3rd - major or minor thirds work) - also as heard in some late 19th century Classical ("Romantic") music. The two chords used for the opening titles move in this way, and instantly capture that SW vibe! 😁

I love you’re work mate but I must say since It is May the 4th C-3PO is one of the most hated characters in the series Not because of his actions but because of the actor who played him It is well known that he hated Kenny Baker and made no hiding the reality of this Out of the 2 R2D2 is by far the best character and person out of them both Anthony Daniels loves to promote how he is in every film Yet he is generally despised because of his personality and interactions with Kenny Baker May the Fourth Be With You (but not C-3PO who was after all made by Darth Vader)

Thanks Douglas! I'm not sure I agree that 3PO is the most hated (an unnecessarily strong word in this context I feel) character in the series (although you obviously hold this view, and maybe some others do too, but that's not my problem!). I personally tend not to conflate fictional characters with the people who play them, but to each their own 😁
