These old Airfix plastics really paint up well …as with all thin parts of plastics the rifle barrel is a bit bent …but you’ve made a good job on him ….great for practice !
That's a great paint work on that Airfix German infantry soldier. The last time I painted any of these I just painted the main colours and I thined down a dark colour for a wash. The flesh was just the one coat with a red brown wash for shades. I haven't painted any for a couple of decades. I used to cut away the base sometimes but never thought to build a detailed base. But this video gives me ideas to paint my 1/35 scale model soldiers I have plenty of. I just haven't collected the plastic soldiers yet. You are expert painter.👍🙂🇭🇲🦘✌️
Hey, thanks so much for the kind comment. I go back and forth between this silent style and the voiceover. I’m not really sure if either is better tbh.
У меня были пятеро из этого набора серо-голубого пластика и шестым был американец цвета хаки. Вместе с индейцами ГДР, польскими ковбоями и советскими пиратами, викингами, и красноармейцами, эти шестеро были равноправными участниками "окопных войн", штурмов песочных крепостей, обороны картонных зАмков и абордажей вражеских деревянных кораблей... Только не настоящий Airfix, а какая-то копия производства Гонгконга. Но тоже неплохая детализация. Я не расскрашивал их, они были хороши и монохромными. Редкость у меня на Родине. Я их выменял на большее количество отечественных солдатиков, у ровесника, чей отец имел право выезда за границу СССР, и там их купил. Такие были времена... 40 лет назад... 😢 Эти друзья детства вместе с остальным батальоном и сейчас рядом.😊
I use a mix of Kolinsky sable hair and synthetic brushes. I started out practicing with synthetic because they’re a few bucks each at Hobby Lobby. The sable hair brushes start at $15 each and will last a lot longer with proper cleaning and care.

Good paintwork. One suggestion. German canteens are grey cup on top and brown jug on bottom. And has a black strap.
Oh wow I had no idea these were still sold 50 years after I played with them as a kid. nice work 👍
I had this set as a boy. I never painted them. Great to see one painted up. Brilliant job! Looks very realistic.
Thanks so much! Check out some of my Shorts. There’s more from that set scattered around :)
