I've become pretty good at figure modulation over the years, to the point where I can sculpt entire arms and legs; but I enjoy learning from videos like yours, I am going to use the yogurt foil technique .
Glad you like it. My menthor is saying that I will be sculpting soon, but I dont belive him... 😁
Me too, can be relaxing but I have to get glasses yesterday
Oy! I'm from 1971 too 😂 great video, keep up the good work
:D Hallo there. Well I hope that you are in a better shape that those figures. :D Joking. Thank you...
I like the way you built the weapons straps, very good, simple and cheap way👌 looking forward to your painting video🤓
Thank you. I am happy with the stripes too. Dont push it. I am scared to death... :D
Now this is what I call convincing poses! Very well done pal 👍
Thank you, bro... 🥰
One of the most informative and helpful videos to guide a figure modeler in modifying figures! Thank you!
You are too kind... Tnx
I love your passion (and patience) for the small details, you have a great eye for details.
Thank you. Glad you like it. Be sure to check the other videos. And if you want much more, check out my Patreon page... :D
Nice to see these ancient techniques in a modern video.
In this way, the knowledge about it is not finally lost in the age of "you just have to reach for the shelves".
However, the helmets do not want to fit on the heads at all, at least for my eyes. They sit considerably too high as the heads are quite simply too large in proportion to these Tamiya figures, giving a rather ridiculous overall impression.
I'm not saying that to badmouth the figures in any way, as they undoubtedly get a definite upgrade here. To avoid such dimensional pitfalls, I just prime the assembled figures in a medium grey at first and then view them from a distance in low light. Since one primarily perceives the outlines, proportional errors or unrealistic poses immediately catch the eye.
Thx for sharing.
Thank you for your intervention. Some facts: 1. The Hornet heads are too big. It is true, but i spent 22€ for 2 sets of heads, and I will not be throwing them away, that is for shure. :D 2. The helmets are to high, mostly because of the patafix wich was used to hold them togeather for the final shoot. 3. I will trimm the heads before painting and adjust this for sure. You are not the only one that noticed this, so I will try to fix this for sure. Anyway, I love your constructive criticism, is the only way to improove in our hobby. Hope to see you arround on the channel... :D
Just found your channel and I am impressed. You do a fantastic job on basic figure modeling in a short amount of time. 😊
Its the magic of video editing... 🤣🤣🤣 Tnx, mate...
Madonna, el macellaio de Sessana! Excellent work Rener. You seem seriously inspired. Good, good, good!
Thank you. We must meet for a coffe. If nothing els, I need the foam cutter... Joking off course... 😀😀😀
I always used tape for straps but now I’ve found a different way!! I can’t wait to try it out!
A quick detail I add to helmets is to add the texture to them. I take tamiya filler and mix it with extra thin until it’s a little thicker then water and dab it on the helmets with a stiff bristled brush. You wouldn’t think it would add much but it does.
Tnx for your tips. Always welcome... 😀🤟
Great video. Bravo Diorama Devil!
Thank you, Bine...

Hi buddy great video on how to convert figures will come in real handy. Cheers Gary 🇬🇧
Tnx, mate...
Interesting and pleasing video 👍
Thank you, Marco...
as a Patreon for this channel i tell you these videos are good, but for $5 dollars a month the added detail and technique step by step is amazing. think of the videos as 10% of the iceberg. underneath in Patreon land its a whole detailed world.
I am honored to have you onboard... 😀🤟
@@dioramadevil the honor goes both ways, sir.
Perfect Video
Thank you, sir...
Brilliant bro....
Tnx, mate... 😀
Very useful video. Thank you!👍
Tnx. That was (its always) my main goal... 😀
@@dioramadevil I will be following your videos.
@@AndreSilva-wh4vn welcome...
Dude, can’t make a whistle outta sh*t!!!😂😂😂 Totally Subbed!!!👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Its true... 🤣 Welcome...
Very nice. thx
A pleasure... Glad you like it...
Some very good advice here. Gald I have found you.
Happy you did... 😀
As well as a great tutorial I now have a delightful new saying “you can’t make a whistle out of shit” 😂😂I have never heard that before thanks mate
🤣🤣🤣 You can try, but the sound will be questionable... 🤟 Those are our Slovenian proverbs and sayings... 🥰
Very nice video. I like your humoristic way of telling things. The helmets in my opinion are still sitting a bit to high on the head. What is your experience with chopping of a bit of the scalps of the hornet heads to fit into the helmets?
Hallo, there... I agree, with you. My club collegues says the same. I will be chopping off a small portion of head. I already did, but more is neadded...
Helmets are sitting definitely too high. I own a real one, the rim is just above the eyebrows if you put it on.
@@ducomaritiem7160 tnx, for your intervention. Noted... 😀
Your meticulous attention to detail is great! Two suggestions?:1) if you have a running figure the boot on the ground should be bent so the toe of the shoe is on the ground and the heel is slightly raised from the ground.2) Some of the helmets appear to be sitting too high on the head. If you look at photos of helmeted German soldiers you'll see that for the most part their ears are not visible. Hope I didn't offend you. I taught modeling the human figure so maybe I'm too picky?
Tnx, mate... You are right. But after somuch work, is easy to miss something. I will take it in consideration...
Helmets heroes
I dont get it... 😀
„…Licking the tools is no bueno“ 🤣
Yeah... But still I must say, that wetting them on the wet napkin, is not the same... 🤣🤣🤣 I mean, your choice...
I bought this kit and finished the soilders last night, I'm ok with the result the pz2 I am very impressed with
Helmet are to hi on there heads
Hey man nice work but when you trim those heads you could also add some chin straps to those helmets, think you forgot them??🙃
I added them in the psinting video... Check it out... 😁 tnx, mate
Nice but why are the helmets so high up on their heads?
Patafix, the heads are too big, I havent trimmedt the heads enough, I dont know what I am doing... Just peak one... :D Thank you... :D
Hi take close look to proper attach of the equipment - mp40 pouches , canteen and other . There is specifically way to attach them :)
Tnx. I will in the future... For this, it is what it is, I am affraid... 😐
@@dioramadevil yee I got the same problem because I think why not I can put this anywhere, but then some people from reenactment told me few things ;) or easier will be to stick with original photos
@@WelderART i also have some ball busting club collegues. 😀 And is the only right way to do it propperly...
@@dioramadevil indeed my friend :)
I would like to know how would you do a shoe that needs the toe of it bent?
The same way. Only it is smaller, and you need to be much more precise and clean. (I am not there jet)... 😀
Helmets seem to be floating not resting.. moment of explosion?
:D mybee... Joking. I must fix that, yes... Tnx for the tip...
Nice video. One common issue is the hands don’t hold the weapon fully or naturally. So the hands need attention, too.
Thank you. With evry figure I make, I learn something new, and I go deeper with the small details. So, for the next ones, for shure... 😀🤟
Aber do nice helmet chin straps btw for the future episode. Look forward to seeing another great video.
@@jerka7 the plan was to schratch those. Even for those... But I am waiting for a soecial tool... 😀🤟
Me gustaria aaber que figuras has puesto mandame foto. Del kit por favor
I cant post photos, but is in the video... 😲
I like Hornet but the heads are way bigger than 1/35 scale
Yes... Those were quite big... 😖
I love your work mate but I think you need to chop off their heads a touch.
Unless they are cone heads the helmets seem to be a little bit too high….
❤😂😊
You are tottaly right. I dont know if you noticed, but those Hornet heads are quite big... 😀 The Germans wewre always thinking a lot... 🤟😀
The plastic helmets fit the resin heads very badly. They all sit too high on the head. I would fix that.
And I will. Thank you...
