I love miniatures and models, apart from my engagement to my German mariner I am not so military minded but you certainly know how to do these models so I think I am in the right place, despite that. I subbed. I am just curious about using oils on models as I have a couple of unpainted figures coming and they're small so I thought I would give oils a try as I am never completely happy using acrylic paint.
Thanks, for signing up! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Cheers!
just found this - am I right (probably not knowing me) when you come to add the colour part of the pre shadin - if the colour is dark you spray form the bottom (so the blue jacket was painted mostly from underneath to give darker blue but more of the light shading as originally painted, and then vice versa for a lighter colour? So thinking for black panzer uniform - grey/blue shadow & then the tannish highlight and spray the "black" (so likely nato black slightly lightened with touch of blue?) from undeneath
Yes that sounds like you understand the process. Please consider subscribing if you haven’t already. Thanks!😊😊
Hi there, I'm just getting back into modelling from when I was 20 (I'm 63 now) and have been watching and rewatching your vids, especially the HALT! set. I've revived a 1976 French Grenadier 1815, in 1/12 scale. I've tried some undercutting as you've explained elsewhere, reglued and am now in Primer, ready to pre-shade with the airbrush (never used one before base coating this fig). My question after all that guff is, my figure has white breaches, waist coat and jacket returns, what colour/colours would you use instead of 'white'. I think of it in the same way you've described black - once you're at black/white, you've got no where to go! Absolutely love your work, keep doing it, you've inspired me to return to modelling - I'm gonna do a tank next. Best regards, Graham
This is great Graham! Glad I could coax you back to the bench. As far a white goes... I just use white as it's easy to blend pure white back into the areas that need more light if you get too dark. Cheers!
Great sharing this one :)
Thanks! :)
Subscribing is not a wasted effort on your channel sir. Thank you from England.
Thanks for the sub... I'm glad it was not a wasted effort.😉
The first step before starting with oil paints. Pre-shading is a quick and easy method to help establish the underpainting and also provides a roadmap for light and shadow. Please let me know what your process is for figure painting... I'd be interested to hear what you have to say. Thanks.

nice video mate !
Thanks Shane. And thanks for subscribing I always look forward to your videos... maybe it's that Irish accent! :)
Great videos. Well edited and put together. I'm doing a "binge watch" this weekend:) What size needle are you using in your brush for these 1/35 figures?
Keep up the good work.
Thanks! .3 needle in my Iwata hp-c plus.😁
Why do you mix acrylic color with lacquer thinner at the under coating?
Because it flows better and has a stronger bond.
@@SmallSoldier Thank you very very much for reply. very nice studying for me.
@@cherrycherry8947 Your welcome! 🙂🍻
Very cool way of pre-shading and where do buy sillyputty?
I bought mine at Safeway. They had it on an end display. I bought all they had. You could try a dollar store it would be cheaper I bet.
What's the smallest scale figure you'd do this airbrush method with? Just curious, I watched this a while ago so don't remember if you said something about that. I am struggling with settling on a method of painting 1/35 figures that I like and can do well. Trying various things until I get to a good solution, otherwise its back to oils for me, which I can do pretty well.
Smallest I would pre-shade is 48th scale. If you want decent and quick results; start by base coating the figure. Add a clear coat then lay on an acrylic wash, I like GW inks for this as they settle into the details nice. After that dries drybrush all the raised detail with a lightened paint mixed from the base colours ie: the colour of jacket/pants, Then mix up a thin glaze (not a wash) and paint it over the dry brushing, this helps to tone down the harshness of the dry brushing. You can apply the glaze as many times as you want until the desired effect is achieved, but don't kill the contrast. The last steps will be to add the highest highlights and darkest shadows back in and this is done with a glaze again. I hope that makes sense. I'll be doing a demo on this kind of technique for 35th scale figure in the near future. Any other questions don't hesitate to ask. I've been toying with the idea of a live stream figure painting session as well. Whoo, this is my longest reply yet. Cheers, Scott
Hi dude, very nice video, what pressure are you using in your airbrush?
Thank you Depends. For general coverage my psi is set at 15-20. For fine detail I like 10 or less. And for lower psi I thin my paint to about 70% thinner to paint.
I've been watching your U Boat Captain face painting tutorial with great interest.I've been painting in oils for over 35 years and love to know what brushes you use,as they look like the hold a very fine point.

Winsor Newton series 7. Mind you they're several years old now and I've heard that they're not as good anymore. Why do they change things? :( Thanks for checking the video out, I appreciate it. You must be an oldie like me. I've been using oils since the 70's when I found Shep Paine's books.
@@SmallSoldier Yep i'm am an oldie and W&N series 7 brushes were always my first choice,but their quality isn't up to what they used to be.They're a bit hit and miss.
@@supersnad1 LOL! Yes, this is what I've heard. I'd like to try the Raphael series of brushes, I've heard good things about those.
Does the airbrush cleaner work better than a thinner?
In what regard? Do you mean to clean the brush or thin the paint?
@@SmallSoldier I saw you using it to thin the paint and was wondering why you used airbrush cleaner instead of thinner. I was surprised, so I am wondering if airbrush cleaner and thinner are almost the same chemically?
@@kiwinesss Hmmm, that doesn't seem right. I would never use cleaner to thin the paint. Are you sure I wasn't cleaning between colours? Can you give me a timestamp from the part of the video so I can answer your question accurately?
@@SmallSoldier Okay I must have misunderstood then, you showed the airbrush cleaner with the paints at about 6:00
@@kiwinesss I'll take a look right now. thanks
