Painting a Scale Model ASMR
Hello I felt like trying something different. I thought it might be interesting for you to see my painting technique in real time (with cuts). I hope you like it. This is Humbrol 159 Acrylic Khaki Drab. Stirring it thoroughly with a matchstick ensures that the pigment, binder and other components of the paint are mixed correctly. *Feel free to play some chill music in the background or something* This is my homemade wet palette. There’s a link in the top right corner of the video, and in the description, to a video where I show you how you can make your own. A wet palette stops your paint from drying up and naturally thins the paint to a good consistency. I find it to be a very helpful tool. The model is Airfix’s 1/76 scale Cromwell. There’s a link in the top right corner, and in the video description, to my full build video of the kit if you’re interested. I have a bad habit of wiping paint off on my thumb if my brush is loaded with too much paint. The oils on my skin could have an effect the paint. I’d recommend that you remove excess paint on a paper towel. The brush I’m using is from the old ‘Royal and Langnickel’ softgrip range. ‘Royal and Langnickel’ and ‘Windsor and Newton’ are my favourite brands of brushes. When painting with acrylics I always use brushes with synthetic bristles. Gold Taklon synthetic bristles are my favourite. To get the best coverage and to minimise brush strokes, make sure you chose a brush size that suits the surface area you are painting. If you’re covering a large area, a 2cm ‘flat’ brush could be ideal. If you are adding fine detailing, a 00 size ‘liner’ brush could be the most suitable. The brush I’m using here is roughly a 7mm ’round’ brush because the surface area varies, but is generally quite small. The rounded tip of the brush means that, by changing the angle of the brush on the surface, I can change the thickness of the brush. If I hold the brush at 90 degrees to the surface, the tip of the brush creates a fine line. If I hold the brush at 20 degrees to the surface, the wider part of the brush comes into contact with the surface and creates a thicker line. I hope you’re enjoying this so far. Let me know your thoughts in the comment section. And if you’re listening to music – what are you listening to? Time to add more paint to the wet palette. I’d just like to take a moment to thank you for supporting me and this channel. You always send such lovely, supportive comments and messages and they really mean a lot to me. I always try and read every single one. Even if I don’t always reply – thank you. Because the surface I’m painting is quite small I’m using lots of short brush strokes to apply the paint. If I was painting a larger surface area, I’d paint with longer strokes to reduce brush marks. This is only the second coat of paint I’m applying. The model will still need a third coat once this one has dried. I tend to leave acrylic paint at least two hours to cure fully before applying another coat. I’ve pretty much completely moved from enamel paints to acrylic paints now. I will still use enamels/oils if I need to fade colours (eg. Luftwaffe mottled camouflage) I prefer the faster curing times of acrylics, that brushes can be cleaned in water and the fact that they don’t smell as strongly as enamels. The second coat on the Cromwell is now complete. I’ll leave the model somewhere safe to dry for at least 2 hours. The air-tight lid on the wet palette will lock in the moisture and keep the paint wet, ready for another painting session. To clean the brush I first swirl it quickly in clean water. Then I gently push the bristles along the side of the pot. I gently reshape the bristles into a point on my finger (though it would be better to us a paper towel). I then hang the brush on my DIY brush stand, with the bristles pointing down, to dry. This prevents water and paint residue from running into the ferrule, and helps the bristles to keep their shape. I hope you enjoyed this. Thanks for watching.
1. u knopw ur boy got notifs on!
Guess who's back,back again…
Hi
If it were me painting, there would be a helluva lot more swearing
Ooh this will be intresting
Literary just watching paint dry
Nice👍
amazing!!! im here in new zealand and got up early to check if this was uploaded.
Pls paint with an Airbrush.
Asmr, hm ok?!
Wow this is new hahah! More please
Great vid!! Keep it up
Very nice, because hearing-impaired people can now follow your instructions too. I can hear, but i enjoy the silence.
How do you stay so calm and not all OCD like me?
Liking the change of styles. Some kit building ASMR would be good.
He's falling into the void
Can we now have an asmr with you using an airbrush? 😂😂
Do more pls
Unexpected, but not unwelcome
Funny to see actual painting without music but real sound 🙂
Good luck with your modeling!
This is awesome
Nice video. It's a good idea, but add some music or something like that please.
I like the multiple camera angles
You can count on me using this to fall asleep from now on
Oh thank you Owen. Take care
You can turn on "subtitles/captions/CC" for in-depth commentary, enjoy 😉
Hmmmm reminds me of my friends 7 year old brother,only he gives you a commentary as well!
Glad we didn't have you wonking for Mr Churchill mind you we could have bored the gerrys to death
Nah I like the commentry, your voice I le a nice tone to listen too (Rare on YouTube 😂) and I remember more easily by listening tbh
I'm extremely uncomfortable
Not bad thoe i thin i like his of my air brush when im working on paint thoe hand paint with brush can be very zen and relaxing to.
Take moment to take in that Owen left us for awhile to give us an update, the again and when he comes back, one of his first videos after coming back is literally painting a model for ASMR. What has this channel come to? (This is obviously a joke)
The joy of modeling
So you let the acrylics to dry for 2 hours? I give them like 15-30 minutes… oops
But I still get decent finish though… might depend on the brand of paint.
Anyways, great video, not many of these on Youtube 🙂
While I don’t personally enjoy ASMR videos concepts, I think this is a wonderful concept. Modeling has always been (save for airbrushing) a very quiet and relaxing hobby, with many different sounds, so this blend works quite well, similar to how many people see Bob Ross’ videos as ASMR, despite the fact it was just painting and not really meant to be that.
Sorry Owen bro but you are a wrong un for this
Fell asleep after 30 seconds
Its nice to see behind the scenes at the moment im building a tamiya honda nsr 500 and ive found that brushing tamiya acrylic works just as well as airfix paint if not better , you also have more of it but the only downside is having to wear a mask or ill be inhaling fumes that oddly smells like apples
how did we go from normal model videos TO ASMR?!
Wow that was actually so relaxing not gonna lie!
Great video!
Odd but i like it more than k should
That was very interesting and was it raining in the background ?
Hey Owen you should do the Airfix 1/72 scale Wellington
Love your videos 👍
YES! Now do it shirtless…
Totally unrelated, but loving them zesty CUs.
If you’re switching to acrylics how do you do multiple coats? when I paint, one coat of acrylic is usually enough and more coats just clump up how do I make my coats more thin?
And the downward spiral begins 😂 (but srsly owen you do what ever floats your bismark as long as your enjoying making videos thats all that matters)
all these asmr video's are creepy and painfully hard to watch
Are you going to Telford in a few weeks as I would love to meet you
i listened u2 this is where you can reach me know and your my favourite YouTuber no one does brush but you do thanks a lot
me: ha ha he's doing a parody
Quick Kits: That's where your wrong kido's
owen no
Hi Owen … I love It 🙂 … cheers Make*
Quietist model build ever !
Real time painting was good and relaxing ! But I would much prefer you to comment than have to read captions 😉 probably a lot of ppl would agree with me on that! 😜 Thanks for another video btw and keep doing great work. 👍
Great vid! There’s just one thing though, I like it better when you talk and say what your doing😊
What please explain
I use an airbrush it would just sound like air.
if only there were swooshing brush sounds then is would really get asmr.
Not my proudest boner
Your ability to keep such a straight face and constant silence while building a model is very impressive
This is actually pretty good !!
Excellent! Better as an ASMR channel!
Good tutorial. I actually like you doing the voice over.
Not really sure what's so special about this asmr fad. It's actually kinda annoying to me. I stayed long enough to type this comment. Bye.
I’m not usually a fan of ASMR but this…. this is an exception
