I agree Mr. Rathalos this a very professionally produced and edited video. Covering Wet Pallet; Ink Wash; Pastel Highlights. 100 per cent spot on and educational. Thank You Mr. Solo.
My suggestion for this, although it depends on the nationality of the figure, but most Caucasians in the winter time are a lighter color than in the summer due to the skin tanning in the sunlight more and being covered from the cold to prevent frost bite. So to me, these figures should be lighter in color than what you portrayed. This would be a great color for late summer or early fall. Great technique and very informative as well. Love the idea of the wet paint to mix the colors to blend them and preserve them for days.
@@tylermccann6879 I said in my initial writing that it is great work. Just mentioning that lots of Europeans are whiter than what is depicted, but it also depends on ethnic backgrounds.
MAGNIFICENT !!! Never have I seen a clearer and more comprehensive Video regarding figurine face painting ...and as a bonus with my favorite acrylics brand !!! THANK YOU SERGIO !
Great video. I have some Tamiya flak crew figures in winter uniform which I'll need to do at some time in the future, your tips are really helpful. I did remember the tip of starting winter uniforms in light grey before working white over the top. Your wet palate tip for skin tones is great, I have those paints and will come back to your video for the steps when I do my next figures. Thanks again!
It also works to use masking tape for slings and straps (tape two pieces together sticky side to sticky side then cut with scissors to desired width and length). I use it all the time! Paints up great, easy to make, super glues very well, and is sturdy! Try it out.
Such a fantastic video on figure painting. This will greatly assist me. Thank you. BTW....about the boots. When you live in the cold you can appreciate the reality of cold weather clothing. The bulkiness of the boots creates a larger barrier and air gap from the cold, keeping your feet warm. If your feet are warm your body is warm. I think you can only truly understand the various extremes of cold weather living when you actually live in the environment for several years. The boots were very ugly but cheap to make and very effective.
Jan. 2018---Thanks for showing off the figures & how to video. Using sprue like you did was a new one on me along with the paint palette. Used to paint 28mm fantasy figures/monsters, but that was some 20+ years ago. They were good, basic paint jobs, but no shading, etc. because they were used in gaming. Only time I did a 1/35th scale figure was 40+ years ago and of course, it was a horrible job. But you can't become a better figure painter without failures.
Suggest trying EMA liquid weld no need to fill gaps its powerful stuff but once you know how to work with it the glues the best! Big claim but I have alot of extra thins here and started using this I had in the stash to get it used up but glad i did now I'm on the second note had to go get more won't do a build without it now the time it saves on mucking about with all the filling with putty etc I haven't done on last 3 builds now or on any my figures! If you can find it give it a try!
Amazing video and good tips! just one point of critic: the boots are "Valenki" (felt-boots)and they were made simply of grey wool (from very light grey to darker grey, same as soviet geatcoats) never saw anything in brown color
¡Hola! La verdad soy algo nuevo en ScaleMates y lo visito muy poco. Tampoco recibí el aviso al correo, así que confieso que lo olvidé por completo (debo revisar las configuraciones de mi cuenta para evitar que vuelva a pasar). Espero mañana en el transcurso del día poder responder a tu pregunta. Saludos :)
i did it from onset...once I tried putty; the trouble was it dries up too quickly on such small pieces, so that it won't attach inside the crevice ..and once you have to add glue for some reason, the putty crumbles..
Curious about something you do here and I've seen in other figure painting videos. Why do you paint facial highlights that are very contrasty to the rest of the face? Is that a 1/35 scale exaggeration type of thing?
Depending on how it was modelled, the footgear may have been "valenki" which are a traditional compressed felt Russian winter boot made from sheep wool. If they are supposed to be valenki they would probably be a mottled dark grey, while the soles may or may not have had a strip of leather to protect them. The photo found here clearly illustrates valenki being worn by Soviet troops in winter: germanwarmachine.com/images/uploads/timeline-photos/world-war-ii/1941/sovietwinterlrg.jpg
Thank you very much for this great tutorial video. I learned a lot especially painting the face. A great idea and help to show the parts you paint seperately on the face on the left. Awesome!
Very informative and, professional video! This will really help anyone new to figure painting, I myself will benefit from this video. Figure painting is an art, which I have a lot to learn about. Thanks for this great video, I'm going to like it so I can refer back to it when painting skin tones...etc. Keep up the good work! Thanks
Thank you very much! I really enjoyed painting this set of figures. It was challenging at some points, but I'll definitely be painting more figures in the future
Great instruction - Only the Felt-Boots (Valenki) were in wool-grey (different shades from lightgrey to darkgrey), not brown. Keep the good vids coming!!!!!
Niceky done Sergio. But you were wrong with shoes color. They wearing felt boots made of felt, they usually Black or Grey. They were most common footwear in winter. I used to wear it when I was kid. Nowadays you will not see them in cities, only in country side.
las botas son unas Valenki, unas votas de fieltro tradicionales. Son para temperaturas muy bajas ya que no eran impermeables, no llevaban el forro de cuero. por el resto muy interesante el tutorial
I am writing to you as a professional in the field of model making, namely I would like to start collecting figures in 1/32 or 1/35 scale (WWII) and painting them. As a child, I collected kiosk soldiers. Now I would like to start the adventure again and paint my first platoon. I would like to ask for advice on what paints and brushes to use, when it comes to paints, I would like to get the final result to look like these kiosk figures. Thank you for your answer.
Awesome job! Btw, they are wearing valenki on their feet, they were not covered with any leather cover, they were made of wool and had grey color. You can google "valenki" or "валенки" to see.
I'm glad you like it, Artur! Thank you for the information. Someone on Facebook already pointed that out, but I keep forgetting to put it in the video description. Now I will! :D
Muy top como siempre Sergio! Esos tips son muy utiles. Viendo tus tutos me animas a ponerme con los mios, parece facil viendote amigo. Ah, y gran trabano de edicion de video tambien.
¡Muchas gracias! Sí, esas botas aún no me convencen, pero la falta de detalle en el plástico indica que algo las cubre, y según la guía de pintura en la caja son de ese color. Tal vez las vuelva a pintar antes de ponerlas en el T-60. ¡Saludos!
Es in trabajo muy ejemplar y nos gusto mucho! Lo unico es donde estan los acesorios personals de los soldados cantimploras, cuchillos, extra cargadores de balas!
Muchas gracias, Ignacio :) Tienes razón, quedaron algo escasos de accesorios, en parte porque las tres figuras que pienso usar tienen la camisa por fuera del pantalón, así que les cubre el cinturón que lleva gran parte de los accesorios. ¡Saludos!
Francisgl, Hola, es el mejor tuto que he visto hasta ahora acerca de pintar figuras, mi talón de aquiles, muy claro, con subtitulos en ingles y también en Español, paso a paso, sin problemas de visualización, solo una cosa me gustaría preguntarte, y es que tiempo pasa entre los distintos tonos de las caras, ya sabes de oscuro a claro. Un saludo y muchas gracias por compartir tu trabajo.
Muy buenos esos trucos para rellenar los huecos que quedan al montar la figura y lo de usar tiritas de aluminio para las correas, no se me habían ocurrido y mejoran mucho el aspecto de la figura
Tengo un grupo en facebook de modelismo donde yo también publico mis cositas, se llama Maquetas, Dioramas y Figuras, unete y así podrás compartir tus trabajos para que todos podamos disfrutar de ellos.
Дорогой Sergio валенки не могут быть коричневыми, они были черными или белыми, но чаще серыми различных оттенков! А так очень замечательная работа!!!!!👍

Have you ever seen some of the Russians during ww2? This is quite accurate IMO.
@@tylermccann6879 Why I said it depends on their ethnic background first.
@@michaelchristensen6884 so why say anything at all? This is great work and is accurate in my opinion. Nothing wrong here 🤗 have a good day
@@tylermccann6879 I said in my initial writing that it is great work. Just mentioning that lots of Europeans are whiter than what is depicted, but it also depends on ethnic backgrounds.

Some great ideas as to preparing to paint and painting the figures and weapons too. Thanks Sergio for the great ideas.
No problem, John. Thanks for watching
Some great ideas I always have trouble with faces and tones and love the sealable box idea for the paint
DANG BRO! THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST!!

Create a nice Christmas/Winter themed Diorama including those figures! That would be amazing!
Estupendo trabajo Sergio. Enhorabuena !!!
¡Muchas gracias, Manuel! (Más tarde te respondo el mensaje que me enviaste en ScaleMates)
Hola Sergio. No sé si respondiste a la duda de SacaleMates. No lo veo en tu wall o en el mío. Quizás esté en otra parte.

Never occurred to me to use melted styrene to fill in cracks! That's really clever.
When you hate putty, you have to find another way :D Thanks for watching!

Another great build & subject, thanks for the tips also Sergio. All the best
Thank you very much for your support, Mark :)
Very good tutorials! Thank you !
Great work Mate !!
Thanks, Peter :)
nice tip for cleaning the lid to avoid future clogging
EXCELLENT advice - Thanks for posting.
Getting ready to attempt winter figure painting and your video was helpful. thanks!

Excellent presentation.
Thank you, John!
The shoes are most likely felt boots - they were common up in Finland and Russia, still are maybe in Russia.
So color is most likely grey or maybe black if they really wanted to spend the money on coloring them :D
Great Job! And as a plus my Spanish reading is also improving! Thanks!
Great instruction - Only the Felt-Boots (Valenki) were in wool-grey (different shades from lightgrey to darkgrey), not brown.
Keep the good vids coming!!!!!
Finally a video on these!
Those figures just look amazing Sergio! Absolutely a great job and some helpful ideas!
I'm glad you liked it :)
I have learnt so much just from this one video, supeb work.
I'm glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching :)
Great job lad!
I'll have to get a proper wet pallet the grease proof paper just gets holes in it once to wet it mixing a colour in same spot
Thank you, some awesome ideas to be had.
You can do the 88gunflak mounted I paintned.
Ooooo genial esas recomendaciones. Ven y disculpa el atrevimiento, no vendes las figuritas pintadas ???
You make it look so easy .
Great video....really helpful and easy to follow...really well done

Una pregunta Sergio, no se requiere lavar las figuras antes de pintarlas??. Saludos
nice tips at 2.20,ty for that
You're welcome! Thanks for watching
Well done
Gran trabajo.Saludos 👍
Good stuff but the contrasts were perhaps too big on the face - I mean the different shades. Probably could have worked them in a bit deeper.
excellent! as always! keep on doing!!
Thank you, Jürgen! More to come :)
Sergio good stuff.
awesome work keep them coming
Thank you. I'll do my best

Great job! For burnishing the gun metal, did you attach a small piece of sponge to a small chop stick? Does a great job!
Thank you, Richard! You're correct, it's a small piece of foamy
