Paint the Same Mini in 10 minutes, 1 hour, and 10 hours

I recently launched a Kickstarter with a moist metal brush box, and some excellently evil wood elf miniatures. Check it out! kickstarter.miniac.co/

When your 10 minute model is better than my 10 hour .... pain

i feel like the reverse would have given you very different minis. Starting with the 10 hours, you would have plenty of time to think about how to paint it, so the 1 hour would be faster, and the 10 minutes would get you more done.

The juxtaposition of Scott's current style of calming videos, mixed with his metal AF outro will never stop being amusing to me.

This is EXACTLY the type of content I'm looking for at this stage in my painting. The difference between 10 min and an hour is stark, and while the 10hr is better than the 1hr, I think the delta is smaller. Now that you have more information and practice, I'd love to see what the revisited 10min and 1hr look like. Additionally, I learned a lot more from the 10min section than I expected to. Leveraging the black and focusing on the front were good insights.

10 hours and you didn't paint the base rim? ;-) JK these all look great!

So pumped for the new expansion of Spending Your Time in the right Places!!!!!!!!!

Fixed that new board game's rules: 1. Do eat double-stuffed Oreos every night. 2. Never go to bed, it's for quitters. 3. Outside is overrated, unless you are doing a light test for a video. 4. Human interaction is good as long as it's with Ninjon doing a podcast for us to listen too.

Honestly I feel like the 10 minute paint job is most accurate to what an adventurer would look like during travels.

IMHO....Miniac is the most enjoyable miniatures painter to watch. All around. He relays information in a easy to digest way. He isn't smug like certain mini painters. I enjoy the way he edits and shoots his videos. He doesn't do this fake "oh I'm trash at painting" while busting out masterpieces while he also isn't stroking his own ego. He is level headed and seems like a great guy, you know what I mean? Like someone you would want to do a painting session with. Plain and simple he seems honest and good at what he does ...... painting, making videos and teaching us how to paint. He has made me a much better painter and I have fun while he is showing me new stuff.

I’d love to see this in reverse order or even in a machete order start with the ten min to get a grip on a color scheme, go to the 10 hour and really dig into what you want and then do the 1 hour production paint job with all that info.

You can't buy time or get back time wasted, so I am always on the side of efficiency. Quite frankly, I'd be happy with somewhere in between the 10 minute to 1 hour range. You have given me new ideas on efficiency using the method for 1 hour model. Great channel! I like your post production processing and editing. Fantastic job!

I usually paint when my baby takes a nap during the weekend. It's usually an hour or hour and a half so I used to be stressed that I will not finish what I started and will need to wait for the next weekend or even more. But now I can try this attitude, just know that you have one hour to finish the all thing and when it's over it's over and you move on to the next project. Awesome.

Such a cool concept. It might be interesting to start with the 10-hour and 1-hour paint job so you can bring what you learn there to the speed paint. I bet it would make the 10-minute one more finished, but I guess it’s more satisfying to finish with the most polished version.

Love hearing your self analysis and learning process. Thank you

I loved the zoom out shot showing how the 10 min model looked decent from a distance. I think there's a ton of potential for a video empirically testing which painting decisions give the most bang for the buck when viewed at tabletop distances and angles

I'd really enjoy watching the same video with the process inverted: starting with the 10hr and progressing to the 10 minute. Be neat to see the differences and similarities.

100% want more of this. It’s great to see the variation between models due to time.

That was cool to see the differences between each attempt, & I'm looking forward to painting some minis soon :hand-purple-blue-peace:

This was suuuper useful, seeing the three different times together really helps emphasize what kinds of details you can focus on when you have different speed priorities.
