Hi everyone! Guy here.

This week's (slightly delayed) video is all about getting your terrain painted up lightning fast using makeup sponges! It's such a simple technique, and is so, so forgiving for inexperienced painters. Even the twins can do it, and they're only 4! Yes. They're 4. Where does the time go?!

There's also lots of other little tips and tricks in the video, specifically about prepping and painting FDM 3d printed terrain which is obviously appearing more and more in people's collections these days.

I hope you enjoy it!

Next up? The 3-way Titan battle report!

Catch you all soon,

lots of love

Guy
