Tau Painting Part 1 James CLass

First part in my James Class Painting vid on a Tau Battlesuit. Hope you guys enjoy . The second part will have some good tips on edge highlighting. Also you guys probobly noticed the gap in between the two parts of the back pack on this guy . I was to much in a hurry and didnt really notice it till I was farther along and didnt want to go back to fix. A good Idea to do if you have abigger gap in between your pieces is to fill it and smooth it out with green stuff or watch Les' video on how to fill gaps on his Awesomepaintjob channel. Thanks for watching hope you all enjoy.

why dont you prime the model first before you paint it

[FiveStarRating22]

@mrt555ful I use the black undercoat as kind of my primer and youll notice that I dont hardly ever use primere I try to have the least amount of paint on my models as possible helps keep the detail. Its also the reason I do not use a sealer on my minis because it changes the color no matter how careful you are.

@mrt555ful sorry but i have 2 more questions 1 if i were to prime it what color would i use. ..... 2 what is thinning and how do u do it

[FiveStarRating22]

@mrt555ful I would use either GW chaos black paint spray or use Army Painters black primer to prime it. secondly thinning is when you mix your paint thats comes out of the paint pot or dropper you get it in with some sort of paint thinner or just water. I use a acrylic paint thinner made by Testors which I mix about 1 to 1 with water and then use that mix to mix into my paints which I always mix my paints about 1 part thinner/water solution to 1 part paint hope this helps thx for the ? bro

@Blinddenial Thanks again for comment glad you approve :) I have had a while now to get a little more use to the editing with help from my buddy Les from AwesomePaintJob. I will probobly be adding some sort of music too my vids just need to get the legal part of it down for sure first though. Thanks again

Thanks, James

Ah, much better tone change :)

Good commentary

What would help make it better is some music as a backing to your voice - not loud, to set an extra vibe/dimension to your videos.

Other than that, great improvement over your starter vids ^^
