Good to see you adding figures in a fitting way - much better than a person just standing. Telling a story/ snippet of a scene is a great goal. Well done!
Thanks Jamie. I do love figure painting and including them with my models. It’s something I’d really like to improve in future. Thanks for taking the time to connect 💪👍
Good build and the story it tells (funny take on the bird and on the vodka bottles). Interesting how 3D printing allows for many things in this hobby (such as adding more things) and how it can be indeed such a game changer as well. Also , I agree with one of the commentators saying “anything to polish” because that is indeed such a time consuming process and it’s always good to get a model that has a straightforward build with almost minimal polish and sanding 😂😂
All the builds look amazing,and the scene is just hilarious,I seriously started laughing at the seagull attacking a soldier Who isn’t scared of fighting a war,but terrified of a seagull 😂 Great job Clayton!
Damn Clayton! Your paintwork on the flesh tones and eyes are top notch mate! Faces are my weakest aspect of figure painting. You deserve a healthy dose of Tim Tams & coffee after that precision paint work!
@@workbenchhobbies4316 Well earned praise Clayton. I was really impressed by all the entries in this group build. BTW, I will be a guest on the "Aussie Scale Modeller" live chat set for 11am Sunday morning your time. Feel free to stop in and say hi. Take care, Jim
This was an interesting subject and build Clayton, and the final result is awsome. I was impressed by the figures as well, as my efforts to paint a presentable figure to accompany my own builds have been disappointing to say the least, and they tend to end up on the “shelf of shame”. This certainly was a subject that is out of the ordinary, but you nailed it. Cheers for now mate!
Thanks Gary. I think the figures are adequate without being extraordinary. Trust me…I’ve had my share of failures too. Appreciate your support as always 👍👍🙏
hello,very good history!thanks for the tips for painting,and sculpting the soidiers,your vignette is amazing,i love the bird and the bottles of vodka!amity from France,Patrick
@@workbenchhobbies4316 I didn't mean for the comment to be a critique of your filming or production. I believe that all print and video media will fall short in displaying our hobby, in the same way it's better to go to the museum to see these pieces rather than just photos online. I think the turntable shot is the closest you can get to actually seeing it with your own eyes without being there
Great stuff. Very informative, eg: I finally learnt what wet palettes do. Thanks. 1 observation = please include straps and slings with buckles, etc (you can get away with just painting metallics for the latter) for figures, especially for small arms. It adds so much to the overall effect. Always. Insignia's always a big plus as well, although special forces eschew a lot of that.
Hey 👋 yeah, completely agree. Dumb thing is I added straps to my 72nd scale figures in the last diorama. Think I just got lazy with this one. Appreciate the feedback and having you join in 💪🙏
@workbenchhobbies4316 I'm not on social media, but if you have any other way of receiving communications, I'll gladly send you my diorama photos. Did a burning 1/32 Me 110 with pilot over a scene below with an E-100 in a very complex 2 different camo schemes,, 2 detroyed scout tanks, 40 odd German soldiers in multiple types of uniforms and weapons, lots of foliage, ammo dump, 1st aid Post. All weapons had slings, etc. Did a large WW1 British captured Siegfried Line trench (the wide ones intended as tank traps (which worked) w/ partial concrete MG nest, and about 30 Brit infantry (1 Aussie cav officer included) festooned in trench consolidation equipment, weapons, ammo, etc, etc. A very involved one has a 1/32 Ju-88 crashed on top of a long derelict bridge semi-covered in foliage, a zimmeritted Bergpanther and huge truck used as anchors to secure the Ju-88 in place & about 40 (and counting)figures all over the area, including Cossacks, indeterminate Gendarme (ambiguous uniform - "somewhere in the Balkans"), Luftwaffe Helferinn, MPs, generals and other brass, engineers, infantry, panzer troops (some in U boat lestgers), paras, Italian armoured car, infantry, signals, Luftwaffe, cine cameraman, partial river, a lot of plants, SS cavalry, propaganda posters, and a lit more besides. Oh, and a cat underneath the truck! Making dioramas and vignettes is the only way to go for me. All else pales in comparison. At a certain point, the diorama takes on a life of its own, and you respond to it. Painters and sculptures say the same.
That's nice choise of figures. :) Btw, i usually make base layer of paint by airbrush and them pick up details by hand. It's faster if painting seseveral similar figures. Diorama looks cool.
I often do the same thing, but I don’t like spraying acrylics through my airbrush that I use for lacquers. I find it taints it and can cause spraying issues…so I tend to just brush paint in these situations. Thanks so much for joining in. I appreciate the input 👍🙏💪
@workbenchhobbies4316 no but if it's good enough for you then I'll give it a go and I have just finished my first ever UA-cam video just going to edit it and upload it so others can follow my journey back into the greatest hobby in the world

We all know you’ve been holding on to that Village People clip for a while waiting for the perfect opportunity to use it 😂
😆😆 it was from my private collection. Glad you enjoyed it 😆😉

Hey Leonardo. I still find ways to complicate these easy builds 🫣
Appreciate you taking the time to comment 🙏💪

Many thanks Patrick. Thanks for joining in 🙏💪
Amazing job, soldiers looks amazing
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it 🙏
I saw this one at the show last week, I don’t think the video quite does the finish justice. All of them looked amazing on the table!
Thanks Matt. It can be a little tricky to film these things sometimes. Did you like the turntable for the reveal or do you prefer the still pics?

Thats a good excuse to buy more airbrushes! :)))
😆😆 good point 🕺🏽
saw this at illawarra - was amazing!
That’s very kind. Thanks Wade. Glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate you taking the time to comment 🙏
And you tell me you can’t paint figures. Come on dude. 👌👌
Thanks buddy. No where near your league…I just use them to help tell the story. Appreciate you joining in 🙏👍🕺🏽
I just ordered some twist drills off amazon last night if only I waited 😂
All good. Never any obligation to buy through these suppliers. Thanks for your support 👍💪

Fantastic news! Good luck 🤞
@workbenchhobbies4316 thank you
3d printer video would be nice
Great suggestion. I’m only at the start of my 3d print journey so not sure how qualified I am…Maybe something for the future. 💪👍
If only. Heroyum Slava, Slava Ukraini!
Thanks for joining it. Hope you are enjoying the channel 👍🙏
Ну ты, дядя, и сказочник!!! 🤣🤣🤣
