Hey Sorastro! Thanks so much for making these videos! Your Imperial Assault work is the reason I felt confident enough to give this hobby a try, and it’s probably kept me sane during this pandemic. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you!! I also had a question: I’ve noticed lately that you’re using a different brand of paint than you used to (I think it’s Scale?) and I was just curious about why that is. Thanks!

@Sorastro

Hi Cameron! Beginner or not, I'd recommend gravity feed, and duel action. Then it's mostly a question of budget; One of my airbrushes is the Iwata Revolution CR (0.5mm), and I think it's a reasonably priced airbrush that would be well suited to a beginner. I hear the Badger Patriot 105 is also a good beginner's "workhorse", so that might also be worth checking out :)

Hi! Well, for the Star Wars figures I study the films very closely - looking at the costumes, and how they appear in different scenes etc. I also have quite a few photos of my own which I've taken of the original outfits from exhibitions in the past. It's quite striking how different the colours can appear in the films compared to the actual reality! I then make a creative decision regarding how closely I want to lean towards the actual colours of the outfits, and how they appear on screen (I usually land somewhere in the middle, but lean more towards on-screen accuracy). It's then a case of selecting and mixing the colours to match! :)

Your paintings are awesome! But when I try to copy your style I find myself having to put on multiple layers for good coverage and it looks like you only need one coat. What am I doing wrong?
@Sorastro
3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Dennis! I usually try to state when I'm applying multiple layers etc, but I think the key is, if I want opaque coverage I'll thin the paint just enough to get it flowing nicely (and not leaving raised brush strokes, or smothering details) but not more. Also, having a little flow enhancer mixed into the water really helps too, because it helps with the flow, but without having to over thin the paints. :)
