Hallo, can you please do the fade in of the sound effect you use on lower volume? I have bad hearing and need to set the audio high to hear you speak, but then the audio effect is incredibly loud. I hope you can do that in the future, vielen dank! Your modeling is really great.
Hi, yes you are right, the sound is bad and my editing skills weren't much at this time. My newest figure painting video has better sound, maybe give it a look🙏 ua-cam.com/video/C8Nbuvfo8N0/v-deo.html Thanks a lot🙏
Super Arbeit!! Nicht nur die Bemalung, sondern auch die Videoarbeit (ausführlich und in allen Schritten sehr detailliert dokumentiert) und die absolut hilfreichen Kommentare. Gruß und Dank, Thomas
Best figure painter on youtube no doubt about it. Picked up so many tips from you my parents and brother think im some pro artist looking at my figures🤣🤣🤣
Congrats. Very good paint work. Diorama 5 stars 👌🏾. I like the “sad moment” when you must dirty the boots (I feel the same when I dirty the figure). We spend a lot of hours painting And then we dirty every thing. Congrats one more time 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Thank you very much 🙏 yes I always feel discomfort when dirty them, they look so sharp and crispy when clean, but that's just not realistic 😅 especially when placed in a natural scene, not in a city diorama f.e.
Thank you for showing me how to paint the US airborne figures that was very informative and I liked the way you told us every step in detail. I'm looking forward to trying it out on my figures. Thanks again.
Jesus... what a find :) One of the BEST figure paint i have seen indeed. Thanks a lot for sharing and keep them coming my friend your are such a great help
Amazing work. Thank you making this video. I’m in the early stages of learning how to paint figures. You’re video has really inspired me. Thank you again for making and posting this video.
It was a pleasure watching your process. Some of the most realistic figures I've ever seen. I will be subscribing to your channel! The figures fit so well visually with the back and foreground. It really helps them seem even more "real".
Thanks a lot🙏 watching videos several times helped me a lot to understand what was done there, and of course making my own tries. So happy to hear you have the same experience with my videos👌😊
That was a excellent vi9deo, I was watching another of your videos but lost the video, but I will find it again, I have now subscribed to your channel, so I hope to learn something, even at my advanced years, very best regards from Australia.
Thanks a lot, happy to hear you like my videos and they may be helpful👍 thank you for your support, I'll bet you find the missing video on my channel👍 greetings to the other side of the world😅
It is. For me oils are easier to blend and build up in layers, acrylics are a bit more tricky here. But they are faster, so I prefer them for 1/35 figures.
Happy to hear it is helpfull 😊 my English, thank you very much, I am feeling more comfortable after a few videos now, but it's still hard😁 so happy to hear it's not that bad😊
Very, very nice paint job. I found your video very instructive and useful to help me improve my figures painting. I especially liked how you explain in detail what you do. I found particularly useful your use of retarder. Thank you!
Amazing work! Truly fantastic result, not only the figure painting but also the vignette, really a sight to behold. Off course subscribed immediately. Thx for the detailed explanation of the process, very educational and also inspirational. Getting back into the hobby after a 40 year break, this video gives plenty of food for thought ;) Liebe Grüsse aus Salzburg :)
Na dann mal viele Grüße zurück ins Nachbarland😉 freut mich sehr das Figuren und Vignette gefallen, und du aus dem Video noch was mitnehmen konntest. Dann mal viel Spaß und Erfolg beim Wiedereinstieg ins schönste Hobby der Welt😉 und danke für deinen Support🙏
@@biberhunter_scale_models I know from the experience of writing modeling articles that it's sometimes hard to achieve a good looking result while being conscious of keeping it lineal and clear for the "report". And that's something I extremely respect from your video buddy!
@@elmister6668 thank you for your kind words, really appreciate it. It really is difficult to find the balance between archiving good results and capture this with frame and focus doing what they should do. Especially while figure painting. I never made an article but I presume it's the same level.
@@biberhunter_scale_models Watching this again, you really make the figures come to life. I wish i could paint like you, it was a great hobby when I was a younger but I can't seem to have pacience nowdays. But i find it very relaxing to watch. :) ... you really got the colours right!
Very Useful tutorial. I watch a lot of tutorials like that, but this one did talk to me better! Plus I love your idea for painting the eyes. Should’ve thought of that myself before.😅 You have a new subscriber! Cheers
Awesome work! I really like your style of painting. I'm transitioning from oils to acrylics for figures, and have learned quite a bit from your videos. Thanks!
Very good watching and learning experience. Nice pace of narration and good music, and excellent videoing. You are a brave man painting the eyes last… hope to see more 1/35 figures from you. Maybe you could try some Tamiya, Master Box or Miniart figures which lack the definition of resin and are more challenging to see how your technique works, which I am confident it does… ah, just saw your Dragon German paratroopers 😊
Thank you very much, happy to hear you like the figures and video🙏 painting the eyes last is helpfull to get a better feeling for the viewing direction of the figure, and with oil paints there can't go wrong much. They are easily to remove. Happy you found the German paratroopers video. I will start with a diorama soon with several figures from kits like Miniart, MB and Tamiya, so this will be way more challenging again😅
what a diorama love the overall layout and quality. Personally your painted figures look better than those from "nightshift" channel. btw, your voice reminds me of Boris Becker 😄
Thank you very much, really happy to hear😊 I would never feel like my figures look better than nightshifts, maybe too because of the usual self criticism. And I am not sure how to feel about the Boris Becker comparison🤣🤣
Thank you very much for posting this. I've watched this video many times and I feel ready to change some of the techniques I'd previously attempted but which left me still looking for something better. Your relaxed presentation coupled with your expertise has really inspired me, so thank you very much. May I ask if you deliberately choose a mix of paint brands for a specific purpose or is it simply the convenience of colours you have to hand?
Thanks a lot for your kind words, really happy to hear and gives motivation to continue 😊🙏 happy to hear that you learned a few things from my video. I usually prefer Tamiya paints for airbrushing and Vallejo Model Colour for brush painting. But if I don't have for example a matching Tamiya colour for airbrush I use anything I have and so on.
Thank you, fantastic tutorial. I am going back to painting 1/35 figures after 20 years and this is super helpful. Why you do not use enamel liner to outline the fine recesses?
Incredible work. I have the same figures and I'm going to try some of the techniques you describe. I'm eager to try using paint retarder to better blend acrylics, as you do so well.
Great work! Do you have a list of the paints you used? I know you showed most of them on the bottom of the screen but was wondering if you had them posted some where... thanks!
thank you very much for a detailed tutorial, and an amazing piece of craft. one quick question - what is the spray can you use from time to time on the figures like after putting them on the diorama?
Nice job on the figures. They look great. I would spend more time on the landscaping by airbrushing the groundwork, dirt, and vegetation to get more subtle variations and muted coloring to not have the colors so bright that they overtake the figures on the display. More light and shadow coloring would be helpful here. Also, by doing this, you can tie the figures into the landscape better to make the display feel more cohesive.
Thank you🙏😊 to the vignette, I made exactly these steps to get the colours that vivid, I like it and I think I brings some nice and fresh colours. The figures getting overtaken is to me part of the thing as they are as soldiers not supposed to stand out but to melt into the surrounding. I made a video to the vignette too where you can see the steps I made. But thank you for your thoughts🙏👍
Guten Morgen, erst einmal großes Lob für deine Arbeit 👌🏻👍🏻. Eine Frage?!!?: Lässt Du bei der Gesichtsbemalung die einzelnen Farben durchtrocknen bevor du die nächste aufbringst oder arbeitest du nass in nass das die sich auf der Oberfläche mischen bzw. in einander übergehen?
Guten Morgen. Vielen Dank für dein Lob🙏 Zu deiner Frage, mal so mal so😅 es kommt drauf an was für einen Effekt ich haben möchte, um Highlights und Schatten in die anderen Töne zu blenden mache ich es häufig nass in nass. Dann nehme ich auch kein Wasser zum verdünnen sondern Retarder, damit die Farbe länger nass bleibt und nicht so schnell mit harten Kanten trocknet. Für mehr Kontrast oder zum hervorheben einzelner Bereiche kann es aber genauso gewollt sein, dann lasse ich die Farbe trocknen. Ist vielleicht auch immer etwas Geschmackssache was man bevorzugt und wie es werden soll. Ich hoffe das hilft dir😅
@@biberhunter_scale_models cool vielen Dank 😊. Dann werd ich das mal so ausprobieren, was zwar bedeutet meine vorher gehende Arbeit abzuwaschen, denn soviel Figuren hab ich gerade nicht da. Aber so ist das dann 🤣😂🤣
Thank you very much, happy to hear😊 my reference picture? These are pictures from the Alpine homepage I put together and printed, so I have them in front of me all the time.
Hi, got another question for you if you don't mind. What size brushes and brand are you using in the video? Many thanks in advance. P.S. The more I watch your videos the more I learn to appreciate your skill, I hope I can get results like yours one day ! Oh one more thing, do you varnish between acrylic to oil paints and steel it al, in at the end ?
Hi. I mostly use the Winsor & Newton Series 7 00 I show in the eye painting sequence. This is my favourite brush and I paint most of the figure with it. And I don't use varnish at any time. Just let the layer you apply before dry enough and you can work with the oil/acrylic paint over that. Only thing I would do is a matt varnish as a finish as the oils remain glossy for example. But that is rare. Good luck again👍
First of all I must say that your work is inspiring and I am following it step by step. I have one question: When it comes to outlining, do you use only retarder to dilute the paint? Or do you also use water or flow improver? And also, how much retarder, what ratio? Thank you in advance for your help.
Thanks a lot for your kind words, happy you like my work. For outlining I use only retarder, so the paint keeps workable longer and I can make corrections if needed. Of course you can use water or flow improver, but then the time to react ist shorter. Thinning ratio I would guess retarder 3 parts, paint 1. But that is often done by feeling and no law.

Hi. I mostly use the Winsor & Newton Series 7 00 I show in the eye painting sequence. This is my favourite brush and I paint most of the figure with it. And I don't use varnish at any time. Just let the layer you apply before dry enough and you can work with the oil/acrylic paint over that. Only thing I would do is a matt varnish as a finish as the oils remain glossy for example. But that is rare.
Good luck again👍
Hi again, after you glued the heads on, what was the spray can you used and why ?
Thank you
Hi, this is activator spray. It let's super glue dry immediately, so you don't have to hold the pieces in position for long. Very useful 👌
First of all I must say that your work is inspiring and I am following it step by step. I have one question: When it comes to outlining, do you use only retarder to dilute the paint? Or do you also use water or flow improver? And also, how much retarder, what ratio? Thank you in advance for your help.
Thanks a lot for your kind words, happy you like my work. For outlining I use only retarder, so the paint keeps workable longer and I can make corrections if needed. Of course you can use water or flow improver, but then the time to react ist shorter. Thinning ratio I would guess retarder 3 parts, paint 1. But that is often done by feeling and no law.
