  I actually really liked this video. Not because you are in agony, but because its just way closer to my own experience. My hobby journey started around 2 years ago and this, while not being in the same situation with masking tape, is what i had to go through. You think about something and then, something else happens and you loose motivation. And I dont paint an entire army in 24 hours, even when broken up over a couple of days. I have a few hours here or there, so seeing your progress in a week of full time work takes a lot of pressure from me.<br><br>What i would like to see next is how you tackle the issues and how you keep on pushing ahead through that dread of everything that went wrong. And its not because you suffer, but persevere in the end, having an insanely good paint job and pushing your abilities with the time you have.

  Always happy to see the Dark Eldar back on the channel! Masking can take too much time! Can&apos;t wait to see how you fix them!

  This is probably one of the most relatable “paint an army” videos I’ve seen! I feel like I’m an incredibly slow painter compared to peers and content creators, but I’ve never liked the results of “paint quicker” methods and I like a certain result. Enjoyed this watch and felt your pain with the tape! Also, good job editor!

  Showing the mould line removal and the close up shots of the finished bare plastic, talking about how many times you need to refil your airbrush, how long it takes to do everything even for a pro are things other people seem not to show. You showing all that is great.

  I love the approach! If I&apos;m honest I can&apos;t stand the clickbaity &quot;Paint a million models in 24 hours!&quot; videos. It&apos;s not how I enjoy the hobby at all. If you&apos;re spending a lot of money on models, you should slow down and take time to enjoy them instead of feeling like you have rush and get things &apos;done&apos; as fast as possible.

  I have a lot of thoughts! <br>Point 1:<br> I also bought Molotow after watching Marco. The random stripping is for sure an effect I&apos;ve experienced while using it. I haven&apos;t ever truly diagnosed why, but i have theories. <br>If the model is wet at all, it will not cure properly, and that moisture spot will strip. If you don&apos;t mix the paint enough before hand, same deal. <br>But, that being said, Molotow is not advertised or intended as a true primer. To the best of my knowledge, It doesn&apos;t have the same bonding material a true primer would that allows it to adhere to the unpainted surface as effectively. <br>BUT, while not having the same physical resistance to tape, Molotow resists the oils on my grimy ass fingers and mineral spirit washes AMAZINGLY. (I&apos;ve smudged rustoleum automotive with my *natural oils*, so this is not a light task).<br>Point 2: <br>In my professional experience, i swear by the blue frog tape instead of proper masking tape. The blue tape (to me) feels like it has a softer tack and never peels the paint off of the walls or miniatures I&apos;ve used it on. I can&apos;t scientifically say they&apos;re different. I haven&apos;t done the research, just based on first-hand experience. <br>Point 3:<br>I feel this is a great way to springboard into a collab with Goobertown Hobbies to have a scientific deep dive about paint adhesion, what makes a &quot;primer&quot; different from a &quot;paint&quot; and how it varies across brands! <br>Point 4: <br>All that being said, RIP your Raider/Ravagers 😢. It sucks when stripping happens, and i hope you feel all of us at home sending our good vibes.

  I&apos;ll tell you something a professor told me during one of my painting 101 classes. There is NO such thing as a mistake. Great art is often times inspired by accidents. Instead of getting frustrated with the paint peeling away, try to adapt to it. I can already see how with a little attention you can make those peels look like battle damage. You said it yourself you want them to have a space piratey look. Maybe they salvaged scrap from a particularly brutal fight that left them damaged. That big spike thing at the front is already inspired by a naval ram. Literally ram it into the hull of a vehicle and it tears it apart. If any part shouldn&apos;t look pretty it probably be that piece.

  This is why I love your content. You don&apos;t seem to shy away from laying it bare, and raw, and very emotional. That&apos;s very powerful. I&apos;m sure everyone has been where you&apos;ve been, if not in the hobby then somewhere else in life. And we all need to be reminded that we&apos;re human, and life&apos;s a bitch sometimes, but still we carry on. Together, the burden is lessened. I hope you feel the love from the community, you certainly deserve it. And now, let&apos;s bring the next catastrophe! We&apos;re here for rain or shine!

  When you want your models to look a very specific way, slow and steady is best. Too many times I&apos;ve rushed a paintjob because of some self imposed deadline and ended up hating the end result.<br>Slow is not bad, Scott. You&apos;re killing it.
