Painted like 'toys' rather than scale models - no taking off flash, no shading , no blending , no dry brushing , no attention to posing detail, Reminds me of a 1970s tutorial - interesting though and good knowledge of German equipment.......👍👍👍
As the years went by, I learned to add a touch of Humbrol Red Brown to the flesh tone, to give the soldiers a more toned down and tanned appearance. With these figures though, you could paint in the eyes, if you were careful, painting the white first, then the pupil, a little larger than necessary, then after the paint was dry, narrow the eye size to fit the eye sockets, using the flesh coloured shades you had on a palatte. I would start with the basic flesh tone out of the bottle or tin, on a mixing palatte, then add red brown to darken it a shade, then a little white to lighten that shade for the bridge of the nose and forehead. A little red brown gives faces a slightly more realistic look. Nonetheless a great nostalgic look back at these figures, that's the way we built them as kids, and a lot of fun it was, I remember. Such great sets of figures for the period.
Thank you. This video was time consuming and I put a lot of effort into it only to be attacked by assholes who know it all! This is the way I do it and if anyone wants to buy a set and make a video of how to do it better, be my guest otherwise shut the fuck up. Thank you again, Kylie.
Good video, I also painted these some time ago. They're a great starter set, since moved on to Dragon and use resin (although far too expensive) this shows what can be done with some simple painting - regardless of them not having shading/weathering they still look good. Liked 👌
Good idea to post a "how to" guide, but some indtructions need comments. First it would be better to clean the figures before starting to paint them. All the casting lines should be removed and the piece polished. If you paint them when still attached, you will have to remember to paint at the junction spot where the plastic shows. The colors you suggest are also arguable. The jacket of a german soldier was fieldgrey for the Heer, in various shades, from green/ grey at the beginning of the war to greyish green and at the end, a shade called "field grey 44" which could be betwen beige and greyish olive. The helmet was "apple green", then darker ( slate green) and sometimes dark grey when not camouflaged. The gas canister was greyish green, and dark green, but not black. It was blue grey in the Luftwaffe and sand color in the Afrika Korps. The trousers, stone grey in 1939/40, were then cut in fieldgrey fabric for savings reasons. For the MP 40, the pouches were made of strong webbing fabric, usually beige or pale green. But it seems that some were made of leather. This is open to debate. I share another post comment that shadows would help...
@@tomoldaker1268 There are some excellent figure painting tutorials elsewhere on youtube. These are great figures to modify nonetheless, during the 70s they were better than many Tamiya sets, as you could pose figures without helmets, or with their helmets on vehicles or attached to kit. The second I saw his Humbrol paint, it took me back to those early days, some of those paints didn't really dry flat or matte, as promised, and I remember struggling to get good results also. The Tamiya acrylics and others available these days are such an improvement on those tins of Humbrol and the Testors oil paints we had at the time. You had to thin them, and blend them to get the correct German uniform colours. Still quite a few useful colours though, with the Humbrol paints, I remember the German Red Brown and Field Green being quite good. Thinning them was essential as they often were quite thick, especially if they'd been on display too long in a warm hobby shop. I remember building some great dioramas and winning a few contests with these figures as you could do all sorts of things with them if you had a few sets.
This guy seems to have got a number of bad comments. I don't think his figures turned out too bad. If he is happy with his work and enjoyed painting and assembling the figures that's the main thing. If he wanted to shade and highlight the figures he would have but he didn't. There is no law that says you HAVE to shade and highlight. Maybe he prefers the flatter looking finish. But once he enjoyed it that's the main thing.
Yes as another commented... you need to scrape the parting seams before you paint them as this helps make them look finished. And you should really look at other figure painting vids and learn about contrast shadows and highlights. There are also tutorials on figure basing as well. Unless your doing this for the sheer fun of putting something together and slapping paint on it you shouldn't be trying to teach anybody else until you have the skill and knowledge to do so. Not trying to be mean here just giving you some constructive comments so you can improve.
Hello, could you please post a clear picture of the instructions. I have the set but I lost the instructions and I am unable to build them. I've searched online but I couldn't find anything. I hope you can help, Thanks
anybody know which airfix multipose set has a morter? and a machinegun ammunition box? i have these two loose parts and don't know which set they came with
Did you get stickers with yours I did I got nazi eagles and I put them on his coat poket the one on his chest it looks way nicer and trying to paint it on my German infantry officer I did not turn out well
Les véritables uniformes de la "WH - Heer" étaient Feldgrau / dominance de vert foncé.Jamais eu de gris foncé, gris pierre ou ardoise.Seul le colori 44 type "ortie" était lui plus marron.La boite du masque à gaz n'est pas noire, mais elle aussi de couleur feldgrau.
These have been around since the 1970s. Just reissued in new packaging. There's British 8th army, afrika korps, Japanese and U.S. In the series too but have not been reissued yet as far as I can see. Airfix Multipose are old now and they're not trying to beat Tamiya or anyone else as this is an old product just like the 1/32 scale series. All old now but luckily they still pump them out as 1/32 is the declining scale in the modelling world unfortunately!
The soldiers have no contrast of colour. I mean the painting is flat with no depth .It's a job of very low level. Look at the other tutorial and learn some skills. Yours are very basic.
Boutique Vanite There are paints included but I didn't like it. It is acrylic and after testing it scratched off so I used my enamel instead as the quality is better.
Absolutely amazing that you'd even bother to assemble and paint these figures without removing the mold lines.
The passion there my friend.
Just got that box today well excited to start it

Thanks, this taught me how to paint my figures a bit better.
Man can everyone stop tearing into him

You could try a ‘well done’ or maybe a ‘nice job’

I like the air fix that are already assembled. and they are bigger.

Thank you! There’s too many experts but funnily enough they never come up with the goods themselves!!!!!

Yeah, your figures look a bit old fashioned. Good old fashioned, but old fashioned
Like the video, but the ocd part of my brain is screaming "panzerfausts were pale yellow".
Ha!
KRAZEEIZATION were do you live????? and we're did get the set
same
Idk where he lives but he got it in a model store or online
Hello, could you please post a clear picture of the instructions. I have the set but I lost the instructions and I am unable to build them. I've searched online but I couldn't find anything. I hope you can help, Thanks
If you PM me I might be able to send you a copy in an email.
Regards A
So if you don’t glue the helmets on, you can use them in stop motion animation where the helmet is shot off?
Nice one mate I followed along and copied what you did and they turned out great
I’m glad it was of help. Thank you.
@@KRAZEEIZATION yo what city do u live in Ireland
Great job what Brand of Paint and brushes you use
Humbrol paints and Talcon brushes I think! I’ve a few. Good horse hair or synthetic.
the wepons are gray and the amopuches are black ore brun
Gun metal for weapons, I use black and then a very slight silver to make the metal look worn. Leather ammo pouches are Black! Thanks for watching!
Would I be able to mix these in a diorama with 1:35 scale troops
Wrong scale. But maybe.
anybody know which airfix multipose set has a morter? and a machinegun ammunition box? i have these two loose parts and don't know which set they came with
Please ,trim the figure seams. And good luck!!
How do you use enamel paint I found that it was sticky for ages and was too thick
+Caz Pavitt Enamel is the best for painting and I never have any problems with it!
+Caz Pavitt Use thinner. Helps a lot
what type of Enamel did you use? please tell me.. thank you for the answer.
Matt
Very nice video
Did you get stickers with yours I did I got nazi eagles and I put them on his coat poket the one on his chest it looks way nicer and trying to paint it on my German infantry officer I did not turn out well
I got them. Very cool.
Is there a way to buy all the enamel paints in one set if not what's the easiest way to get most of the needed colours :) thanks
I painted some with the 102 Army Green paint and it was horrible. It was like water and ruined the figure.
by sharp blade do you mean samurai sword?
Onde vende esses soldados quero comprar
Amazon
I have the same figures
Hi,
In the touch up part how do you make the 2 helmets look more metal/steel like?.
I put tiny amounts of silver on them sometimes. Make them worn too. Thanks for watching!
Do you mix the silver with the grey or put on the helmet after the paint,thanks
After. Almost dry with the brush.
Thanks.
nice job bro! basic but still good!
