Thank you for spending a lot of time on your palette and explaining paint consistency. So helpful! It is a critical component of painting minis that 90% of YouTube painters skip for some reason.

There aren't many hobby YouTubers who'd cover edge highlighting as their 414th weekly video! There's nobody better for learning not just the how but also the when and the why - you're the best!

the amount of times I've had too much moisture in the brush when trying to edge highlight... you'd think i should learn at some point, but the tedium always wears me down and i lose concentration, making the same messy mistakes as the day i started painting... nice summary and reminder of good practice here, as always. Thanks Vince.

I think you make the best hobby videos online. I’ve been binging all morning. My favourite parts (other than the really useful advice) is when you make terrible puns and when you make whispered remarks. Those mix ups in tone make it super entertaining

Thank you 😊

[HDubwub]

thank you so much for this! Every time I hear something about edge highlighting it's just "you highlight the edge" but this tutorial is actually one of the helpful ones

[klakhouse]

i like to use a little flow improver to thin the paint. i find it helps to make the paint come off with a very light touch and it helps the paint not dry out as fast

[Robzilla]

Thank you so much for posting this. More specifically for showing the error correction step. I honestly believe that this is the most frustrating thing for painters when a mistake is made people just give up, not realizing how easy it can be to fix the mistake. Thanks for sharing.

Vince you are a legend in this community. Thank you for everything you do.

[JackDespero]

Back in my days, we had dry brushes which were super stiff brushes for this purpose, so that you could put some pressure, but the brush hairs wouldn't bend.

[kevinhayes]

Great summary of the methodology of edge painting. Always fun to watch you work and hear your clear advice. Thanks again for your time and efforts to help us all get better at the hobby!

Great video and very timely as I'm working on three sisters of battle at the moment, and had my 000 and 00 brushes ready for my edge highlights, you've saved me thanks heaps.

[shinkage]

Thank you Vince for this great video, great efforts from your side and also calm downs which are very useful for this delicate phase 😂. Many times as newbie I felt like an over stressed sniper, then I learnt about control and dilution that make a giant difference

[mindyfranke]

Outstanding video on a subject I've been having problems with for a while, thanks so much! I will give this a try.

You know you're a pro when you consider this kind of quality paint job "tabletop". That model would be front and centre in a display case if I had painted it! 😄I've gotten better at edge highlighting now but doing lines as thin as you have done there is very hard. Press even fractionally too hard on the model and you've got a thick, opaque line that's a pain to fix. This was a great guide, though!

[Dire-Sky]

Always stoked when Vince posts a new hobby cheating video! :D I was having some trouble today with getting my edge highlights down consistently, and luckily enough, this video brought up some great tips for resolving those issues. Thank you for another great tutorial :) Oh and AWESOME looking farsight paint scheme!

[jtehuk]

Love that color scheme. Gonna steal it for a future project

I use acrilic pens with a "fine" tip, it's not as "fine" as a brush, but man! it's so much easier and quick. Edge highlighting or those thousand of rivets were a chore I ended up skipping or quick fudging, not anymore! acrilic pens saved me a lot of time and are cheap as hell!

[olaguna]

FANTASTIC video, thanks for making it

[shagakhan]

Thank you unvailing the secrets of the edge highlight!

[zramirez]

Oh man I've been waiting to see these models in a video!
