I think I speak for the entire community when I say, no one is rooting for Scott.

You should do a series of this where each time Scott is allowed to add one of the "good" tools to his set and teaches Amber how to use it properly. That way Amber can level up with that bit of kit and her painting in general.

"There's no crying in miniature painting."
"There's LOTS of crying. Just constant crying."

she did a great job! WAY BETTER than my first model

[anthonymangia]

You two have a great chemistry, we need more Scott and Amber videos!

[Lewberry]

It really hits home to see, that behind every mini-moron, a strong supportive woman who's totally willing to put up with his crap. Love the video, love you both! P.S. Great job, Amber!

[Ryadic]

Amber is such a good sport throughout this video. I adore her positive attitude.

[westcoastbannermen]

This was great. We 100% need this as a series. step by step Amber getting more instruction while Scott gets better tools. Episode 2 Scott gets medium to mix the craft paints with, and Amber learns mini paint basics.

[TheChellybean]

One of my all time favorite videos from you. I am so proud of Amber for being vulnerable on the internet. I tried to get my husband to paint a mini with me one time and he got so frustrated with it that he never completed the mini! I'm absolutely watching this video again with him as hopefully inspiration that he could stick it out accomplish a mini again if he gave it another shot!

[FelixZwirn]

This was such a great episode for me.

My wife tried painting minis once. We compromised on a Necron Chronomancer (she wanted to paint a C'tan shard) for her. And when ever I wanted to give any adivse, she was like: "Stop it, you can do it, so it can't be that hard."

[UriskOfTheFae]

I love Amber's little mushroom guy!

[GirlPainting]

For a first time painting, this is awesometacular! You managed to paint a smooth and evan coat of paint on the model. a point where first timers always struggle with. also you paint verry precise. no overspilling of colours onto other areas. i would say you have a solid foundation to become a great miniature artist, if you so desire to persue this more.

And scott, you should repeat the challange, but together with Ninjon, to have an evan match ;) one with the crappiest brushes and one with all the fine arts supplys

[shawnp]

Amber, if this is your first paint job, you did rock this! Have Scott show you some of his very early work and make a comparison….i think you’ll find that your painting is pretty good for a beginner! Great video to you both!

[Misterfairweather]

Something I regularly explain to new folks in my other hobby, working on cars, is that you can do a lot of the jobs with basic tools a lot of the good tools will make some tasks faster or easier. Some of these tools make sense to pick up early on because it'll make learning basics easier because you are no longer fighting the tools. I'd say a wet palette and a good variety of "ok" brushes are big areas that make fighting the tools less of an issue.

[wtfserpico]

This is such a great and wholesome video. Bravo Scott and Amber!

Amber did an incredible job for her first ever mini. You should both be proud not only for the quality of the mini, but also for the quality of the video and the quality of your relationship.

[robertlasitter]

This was awesome. I’d this to be a series so we all can see her progress. For her first model that’s some great tabletop ready imo

[mindlasher]

Amber's mini 10/10... Scott... you get a 7.23/10...
Scott should buy the tendies

When Amber said, "When people lose the Golden Demon, I've heard they cry" it was like a dagger 🗡 through the heart. Lol

[KchulaRrit]

I want to see a video of you painting a project with Amber voicing over what she thinks you're doing and why it's helping. I think that would be gold. I know my wife has absolutely no idea what I'm doing with these little plastic vampires.

[spectralcanvasimages]

Honestly, this has been one of Miniac's best vids in awhile!

[stardog]

I love that you're able to share your passion with your wife. I echo others in that this should be a regular series. Amber is a great edition and I hope she feels welcome and appreciated for her efforts. Its encouraging to those starting out, to actually see themselves learning the process. And you're a great teacher to boot Scott! Cheers!
