    It's so nice to see a video featuring a first timer. It helps set my own expectations instead of watching a pro.

    A good start. For tropical/Italian theater kit (I'm assuming thats what you were shooting for) all straps and ammo pouches are khaki canvas. The water bottle is felt brown, leather strap with aluminium cap. The bread bag is canvas and a buff colour.
    I find oil paints work the best for flesh tones.
    Preshading the uniform seems to work really well and helps define highlights as you build up colour.

    For a first attempt you've done the figure justice.....all kudos to you for having a go and sharing this on YT. Figure painting is definitely difficult initially but, with practice, you get into a rhythm and it becomes easier. CW Modelling does amazing figures 'his way' so he's someone to check out if you haven't done so already. Look forward to the next one.

    A superb result for a first attempt. Figure painting is a dark art I have yet to master. One tip I always remember getting from a professional figure painter is to have the eyes painted as though the figure is looking to the right or left as it gives a more subtle look. Looking forward to seeing your next effort

      Thanks mate! I will definitely try that out for my next figure!

    Along with painting canopies, figures are the thing that give me the most grief. I did see somewhere else that eyes and pupils come first then cut around with flesh copies. Enjoying your tutorials, you keep things 'real` and commentary is great.👍

      Thank you very much! I'm so glad you enjoy them. That eye tip does sound very useful

    First thing that i can advice you it to prime all figure in blacka , and after from 12 o clock give it a mist with white color , so u can see where the shadows and highlits are . After its a good base for further work :)

      😊 thank you very much! It's far less scary than it looks! Check out a tutorial online for beginners, as that's what I did, if you feel like giving it a go!

    Did you post this on r/modelmakers? I swear I saw a figure that looks extremely similar. Anyways, a cracking job as always!

    Tomorrow I will make film with my new painted figure. If you want, you can wach it. In the future you can use my techniques on your own figures.

    Yeah that looks good. :)
    Kinda biased though, a paratrooper/airborne ranger myself - but my beret is maroon like your dudes.. ;) However, i get really interested when any kind of paratrooper is in the lime light.. Read alot about the Fjs. Interesting stuff.
    The model looks great.

    I am struggling with the skin tones; highlights and shadows, blending them for a more realistic appearance. I'm on my first ever figure also but I'm not giving up. Yours looks good for a first attempt.

    The pants are baggy because you are painting German paratroopers, which had the baggy pants and long covering coat.
