Hey Les

Old video but I hope you are still commenting comments..

Cool workstation you have there. In the video you mention you use a jewellers magnifying-visor.

What branch and how much magnification do you use?

Im thinking about getting a set but am a little unsure if they are useful at all

[techtalk09]

how do you stick the model to the handle?

[TheRangerwolf]

@techtalk09 I'm not sure what he uses, but a blob of Blu-tac works well

[TheSeasonman1]

update - Amazon has this web cam on offer at the moment for half price . Its as good as stated plus some

[insanedaemon]

What version of Windows are you running for your tutorials?

[veryverydarkbluesock]

[Grimmbo]

[chrisjk123]

[Deathspirit232]

Toughed first how to SHOOT miniature (with gun) O.o XD

[SpuseMaroon]

Sweet show Les, always wondered how you do it.

That boom thing would bug me though, my cam position is the same but on some vice thing clamped to my desk so both hands/arms are free to move around.... and my gradient background fools my cam lol, but focuses on my fingerprint :(

[Number1GamerAsh]

wow lol carnt wait and see them alllllll ! vidio on vidios

[2waterpots]

Thanks so much for making this video. I wish I could have your setup. It´s the best setup possible.

[GirlPainting]

as usual a verry nice video les :)

greetings, Alexandra

[twalks]

Cool vid man, been wondering for awhile what kind of setup you had to take your videos.

[TylersTerrain]

How much does one of those cameras cost?

[awesomepaintjob]

the Webcam cost me about $80 in the US @ Staples.

[TylersTerrain]

Ohh, I see. I will probably just have to wait and see if they have any sales or something... Nice set up, I always wondered how painters did their toutorials, and i believe you where the first to make a video on in. Thank you. Ohh, and thank you for all of the great videos that you have filmed, your work really is great.

[stumpythumper]

Whats that a  Midi controller? :)

[awesomepaintjob]

Yes it is :) M-Audio Axiom 49

[stumpythumper]

Cool man you gotta share some of your music:)

I've never fiddled with soft-synths..

But i got a garge full of Keys..

Man for 80 bucks that camera is killer deal!

[awesomepaintjob]

hehe, yeah if you check my site there's a music page as well as a link to more music I have made. Shoot me a pm if you have some music up.

[jasonlotito]

Microsoft Live Movie Maker supports HD video. I do all my videos with that, and it works just fine. It supports the HD coming in as well as outputting HD. In case anyone was wondering.

[Typjahafastmhm]

What kind of light/lamp/whatever do you use? When I take pictures with my digital camera it always end up very dark even with white paper as background.

[awesomepaintjob]

The light directly over the model is a Full Spectrum HD lamp by Ott-lite. They are kind of pricey but they give you true color and don't strain the eyes like most lamps do.

Better not let my girlfriend see this. My painting station looks like it's been nuked compared to yours! Keep up the great vids man!

[18F4V]

This video really helps me out. Thanks for taking the time to do this for us. 5+

[danxtur]

This is good

[KittyRokher]

cool thanks. i lost my camera, but this will help once i find it.

[Kriegfreak]

I liked this! I'll be honest though, I recognized the outline of that DKoK Commissar :). Which looks killer btw. Excellent tutorial for making painting videos.

Those Commissars were my favorite to paint! Think the armies almost 3000 points now, which is massive for Krieg. Do a lil video on that guy if you get the chance! <3 your vids. Hope your products sell well to!

[theBoonarmies]

awesome setup man. ten points for the webcam tip, thats a most excellent piece of advice
