To develop my fine painting skills, I started with the little green army men you get at the grocery store for kids. I don’t have the proper paints yet so I used Testers enamel paint from my model kits. Next week I get my resin 3d printer , next month, I get the proper paint set. All this in preparation to painting real model miniatures.
Great job. I used to paint and play 15mm ancients when I was younger and with the Covid mess I am going to start painting again, thanks for the inspiration and ideas.
Cheers for this, been looking at flames of war Fighting first and this is perfect for it. Thanks again.
wow!... impressive work. didnt know u could paint minitures that small and so quick too! this is very inspiring. i think i just may have found my new hobby!
what a great collection u got there!
cheers ... :))
I kept the brushes that came in my wife's cosmetics. There's a wide range of sizes from extremely fine to wide. For the most part they seem to be well made with little to no shedding. Good detail brushes and work well with all types of paint.
In case you were wondering:
Gaiter
gā′tər
A heavy cloth or leather covering for the leg extending from the instep to the ankle or knee.
Thanks for this video. I'm just getting into Flames of War so this is still relevant and helpful. I hope you and Marvin are well.
The magnetic transport system is a great idea. Also love your work, the vehicles look awesome.
some nice instructions. love your clinics. on holding figures (i paint 1/72 scale mostly) I mount them on paint mixer sticks that Lowes actually gives me for free; and when mounting i leave about an inch or so at one end so that when I am working on them I have room to hold hte stick without getting spray primer or sealer on me and also can hold the stick without touching the figures.
Amazing and most realistic work on the base...Inspriring!
The minis in the last tray looked so good. Good vid mate.
Cheers,
Tristan.
you make it look so easy Brilliant work,thanks mark from the uk..
I really helpful video I've never done cluster bases before so it was great to pick up some techniques I espically liked the little detail with bulking out the glue points with super glue
Awesome! The technical name for the color for U.S. WWII helmets is actually Olive Drab. Vallejo has it.
Thanks for the super helpful videos
It's always good to practice the basics, it helps to keep our more "advanced" skills nice and sharp. Thanks for yet another excellent tutorial! Happy modelling holidays guys :)
Awesome video !! Just found you today and the subject matter is just what I have been looking for. Thanks for taking the time to make these video's for us guy's that what to learn how to produce more realistic models.
I also us Aleens tacky glue to hold figures on the wood. takes a little longer to dry but very easy to just pop the figures off when finished.
Love the storage
absolutely excellent
Amazing, all I want to do now is to go to my table and make yet another start on my unfinished Panzergreadier platoon. thanks for this inspirational video.
instaBlaster.
thanks for a great lesson!
great show thank you so much
Certainly right about these figures looking more realistic and proportioned even with a basic paint over.. the detailed ones still look like a Pixar cast. ;)
Thanks for your video. Nice tips on it!
... & thanks for the tip for the Tamiya on the seams.
I read below and found you use a #2 brush. Great job.
Amazing!!!
That's amazing
I would love to see you taking a crack at Dropzone Commander models.
Very informative, thank you!
Great vid.
this was great, thanks!
How many people does 1 stand represent? And how do you solf casualties? You take away a entire base?
Rly glad to gave come across this vid. :-) (thanx) I have been thinking of getting into WWII figs for some time now, so this is a big help :-)
(So many questions not enough time ) lol :-\
Even if the video is a bit older, I have a question. What kind of magnets did you put on the underside of the infantry base? 1 mm thick?
Did you combine the Plastic Soldier models with Battlefront models? They work OK?
Can you do a video on painting skeleton Warriors and undead?
What paint brush do you recommend to paint flames of war infantry?
Man you must do one on miniatures from the USSR. Also i love your vids man i aspire to be you.
I do believe the "spats" were called gaiters.
Yes
I love you
I highly recommend a game just like flames of war called bolt action. If you are that good at painting 15mm miniatures then you
Would be great at 28mm bolt action
They are not separate games, but merely different rule systems. If you look around there are literally dozens of such systems for playing with the same miniatures. Both Blot Action and Flames of War are really for beginners, and don't give a very realistic interpretation of the experience of war. For those wanting something with more umph, try Crossfire or Chain of Command.
Excellent video. What size brushes did you use for the different phases of your work?
David Cannane It's all with a #2.
What airbrush do you use to prime?
How would you modify this for the pacific theater? I’ll be using vallejo colors. Thanks for the help! This is awesome for me as a beginner.
No idea. I haven't done Pacific theater.
Excellent advice. Do you recommend using Agrax Earthshade instead now instead of the Army Painter, or do you suggest sticking with AP for 15's (even after your other video)?
If those are my only two choices I'd use the GW stuff.
@@ThePaintingClinic I have AP Quickshade Strong Tone tin as well. Thanks for your thoughts.
Are most of the basing materials from Brookhurst Hobbies or bought online?
Hobby Dump Mostly from Brookhurst and occasionally from nature.
Your "spats" were called gaiters by most I believe.
Holy hannah!! O.O
Where did you get the black car? (in the third box, next to the arty)
It looks awesome :)
I think it's from Peter Pig. Don't recall the name.
ThePaintingClinic Thanks! Found it :)
The boot covers or Spats are called "Leggings"
How do you use an air brush, cause im thinking about getting one and can you paint these with ONLY a brush?
+Aleksei Krasnov Alesnarovich Except for the base coat, I did only paint these with a brush.
Here's a silly question. Where do you get the small pieces of sheet metal?
You can go to home depot and in the hardware aisle should be "metal roof shingles" that come in various sizes and are very thin and able to be cut with metal shears / snips.
Or, you can go to a hobby store that cares the metal squares pre-cut specifically for magnetizing miniature bases.
pnkssbtz
That's the DIY method, but these are actually pre-cut from a company called Wargames Accessories.
Why you aplly Tamiya glue to the miniatures at 1:10 minute.
To dissolve the seamlines and any plastic burs.
ThePaintingClinic Thanks!
Aren't those soldiers 1/72 scale?
What are your bases called and were do you get them from??
They are from Plastic Soldier Company.
did you just cut the figures off of the wood?
Yup.
What brand of bases didnyounuse?
Plastic Soldier Company bases. Same as the minis.
Do they work with flames of war miniatures?
Muffinkakes1
They are the same size.
Can I make the same thing with the miniatures from ITALERI British Infantry Napoleonic?
Jakob Abbasow What does "make the same thing" mean?
stick on the stand like this
Jakob Abbasow Yes.
Thank you
Have you painting tutorial for British Soldiers from Napoleon's Time?
can you do Russian infantry
Wherevare the bases from?
Plastic Soldier Company bases. Same as the minis.
Thank you. I knew they looked familiar.
Not bad I have painted around three thousand my self
i thought they were called gaitors
The "Spats" are called "Gators"
Not 'gators' but gaiters. Jeeze can nobody spell anymore? Spats are usually intended for show and used only for civilian wear.
mmmm minature cookies mmmm
They're called "leggings".
What size of brush do you use?
