You're really finding a sweet spot that hasn't been found in painting youtube so far. I really like this long form, conversational content. It is something that you can uniquely do and you're nailing it.

[ShonuffCor]

YES! These are the kind of content for mini painting that is missing from Youtube. EXPLANATION in less of a "this is what I did".. more of a "This is how..and WHY I did this."
This content is why I can't quit you, bud. KEEP DOING THESE!

[jordanmccavour]

Those were some really great questions. More "teaching a noob" videos would be great haha.

[mechabuddy]

Please more of these videos. Jimmy asked fantastic questions too

[Maeggoel]

Please do more of these videos. This and the other one you made are some of the best, because less experienced painters encounter problems that many experienced painters don't think about the same. So it seems organic. Many of us have the same questions and make the same mistakes as the less experienced painters in these videos.

I do actually love this series as its one of the worst things as a new painter to get into - not painting faces - but starting out in a field where so much knowledge is just seen as "yeah of course thats what/how you do it duh".

If you want to expand on this, please think about adding something like painting "clean" flat armor panels in different styles, like classic eavy metal and contrast/speedpaint or with an airbrush or inks, and have your guest talk about how they felt about the different approaches.

[MikeScarbro]

This was awesome, Scott! I would love to see more of this kind of video, especially with a guest as good as Jimmy. He asked some insightful questions and the explanations you gave were top-notch. Keep up the great work!

[MrSJPowell]

I got 9 minutes in, and audibly said "This is one of Scott's best videos in years". Seriously, this is an incredible resource.

Excellent work Scott. This is a great tutorial.

0:54 those clippers have seen better days good sir.

[comradezero]

Most wargame mini sprues have alternate heads, so you'll have heads left over after assembling your figures. Save up all those extra heads and use them for practice.

[josephzimmer]

I love your style of tutorial videos. I'm not sure exactly why, but there's something about your presentation style that has always stuck out to me as exceptional. Keep doing what you're doing, because it's great.

I'm almost halfway through and really enjoying this video. A couple of initial thoughts.

1. Appreciation for the "layers graphic" at 16:40! That was really awesome, easy to overlook as a viewer, and probably took a fair amount of time. You should know that it was fascinating and helpful.

2. I found this format really valuable. As a teacher, I know very well how, no matter how hard you try to cover everything in your instruction, people will always have other questions/needs, and you communicate differently when answering a question rather than just "lecturing." I thought this format was awesome and helpful. I wouldn't want you to do just this, but I'd love to see more of it. It's a unique format. I'm sure it's really tough (heard you say something to that effect on TUP), but it would be worth doing again (other than the fact that it would open you to SO MANY fans trying to get on 😅).

Great work!

[karstedt]

I think it was really good to have Jimmy there asking questions on the spot. It brought out some things that might otherwise go unnoticed. There were some good points about hard to reach spots that got brought up.

[laurastanleyneelindquist]

Noob content is great. Love the conversational quality and the noob asks questions that viewer noobs would have but might not occur to the experienced painter.

[M.Melnick]

Excellent video super helpful, thank you

[donsgibson]

I hope filming this video was as enjoyable for you as it was for me to watch and learn from. Scott is a great teacher because he truly listens, and this is easily one of his best videos of 2024 for us newbies. It’s so refreshing to see such down-to-earth ideas and tactics, with no egos involved.

[erikbraun]

Pretty excited for this one as someone who decided it was a great idea to pick up the Darkoath box recently.

[Admin-rnym]

This is my fav style of painting video! A noob asking questions with real time direct answers is SO useful!

[adiebland]

As usual another consummate video. This vid should be in the tool box for every miniature painter, amazing, I love the start of each phase coverage shot, Scott we the miniature painting community salute you.
