Hello you lovely bunch! I know, I know, a new video less than 1 weeks since the last one. You love to see it.

So, one of the big "problems" a lot of people seem to have with The Army Painter Speedpaints (and Contrast too, to a lesser extent) is that they can reactivate when moistened or painted over.

This is annoying if you're not expecting it... but wouldn't it be cool to - say - use it to your advantage to create realistic, weathered textures on something like big ol' tanks?

OH! That's what I just made a video on! Handy, that. I hope you enjoy it, and maybe it'll give you a bit more confidence to seek out happy accidents with other hobby products you own.

Hope you're all doing amazingly well!

Lots of love

Guy
