Soo... many... airbrush paints... *drooling intensifies*

I watched him carefully explain his entire process, and yet I'm still convinced Benni is wizard.

1. I love when you do videos benni! I love you both so much and it's so fun getting to know you better too!

2. I never would have thought to use oil paints for weathering! That's brilliant!

[MadGoblinWorkshop]

Your Vallejo selection is commendable. Makes me blush.

[Hzzard]

Lovely work!

Nerf blasters are easy to disassemble (even easier if you don't want them to function afterwards!) so they can be broken down to smaller components if that makes painting simpler.

I've been waiting for this vid to drop once I saw your before and after picture! Mass Effect is my favorite and I cannot wait to give this a go for my Mass Effect cosplay. Thank you for making this video! Time to hunt for supplies!

Prop suggestion: Make the animal crossing new horizons tools

[strawberryjam]

I was looking for something like this! Thank you for making this, looks great!!

[dizzydreamaway]

Benny is great! I'm so glad he's making more videos by himself. You guys are such a perfectly matched team for cosplay

[elizabethsloan]

I finally got to show this to my husband, and we both found it very useful! Especially the shading. Thank you again. And thank you for the puppy cameo at the end, too!

Sheeesh! I would gladly hang that repainted gun on my wall.. As a massive ME fan this makes me happy to see :P

[nilusk]

Nerf customized here. If you want to ensure operations after painting you should break down the gun and remove the internal mechanics first, then reassemble it for paining. You may also want to paint the slide separate from the main gun. If you apply a good layer of clear coat it should hold up well to use.

I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite store on The Citadel.

Today on Kamui Cosplay: Drybrush finger painting!
Awesome job

[olgakusanagi]

Even though I don't have an airbrush (still getting the hang of regular painting with acrylics) I learn so much from your painting videos! Thank you, and would love to see more of these ^_^

That's what I love on this channel : I've painted figurines for a decade, but I'm too lazy to apply most techniques I've learned.
And yet, here I find some new awesome techniques :
1) just put paint on your fingers, and "drybrush" your edges around!
2) shadow your hollows/cavities, and quickly finger-drybrush away the excess on edges!
It's... it's genius.
It's lazy, yet ultra efficient, precise, versatile and crafty.
I love this channel.

Hi there. Benny you did a fabulous job. I love this channel. Since the convention I wanted to go to was cancelled I am looking for anything to divert my attention away from this virus. That paint job was off the chain. You have a unique touch when it comes to making it look real. Nice job. Please stay safe and give the puppies a hug for me. Love ya all. Take care and God bless.

[jellyandcream]

Both of you have such fun voices to listen to!!! This video is amazing, so very detailed.

This music sounds almost like Austin Powers for some reason.

I'm a simple person. I see Mass Effect I click. But yeah the paint job came out so good looking. Also I swear that looks like Volpin Prop's Valkyrie at 3:42. Prop makers helping Prop makers. Made me smile. But seriously if you guys ever made anything from this game trilogy I would freak out. :)
