      @@rrl4245 So, the reason I use the cobalt blue is because it’s a complementary colour to Khaki which is in the yellow orange area on a colour wheel. So the colour opposite of the colour your using in this case blue is complimentary to yellow. If you watch again I actually mixed cobalt blue, burnt umber and cadmium red to create the shadow colour. So long story short always try and use a complimentary colour in your shadows as this makes them look more natural and pleasing to the eye. Hope that clears things up… let me know. Thanks 😊

    Hello, something different what colours oils to mix for German field grey? like your bust least l know the colour for the Khaki, how about doing a 120mm german figure.

    • @SmallSoldier
      @SmallSoldier  3 года назад +1

      That's definitely something I have planned Paul. For Field grey add Prussian green, White, Yellow Ochre and some Raw umber. You'll need to play with the ratios until you get what you're looking for.

    fantastic video thank you for sharing. The only part that confused me was when you mentioned the highlight colour as white and ochre mixed with the previous Khaki colour.The only previous colour was the filter and shadow colours, is that what you meant? It seems unlikely. can you also let me know the colour that you base coated with please? I guess that was an acrylic. This is really world class stuff, please keep making videos.

    • @SmallSoldier
      @SmallSoldier  3 года назад +1

      Thanks, Glad it was helpful! The initial base colour is acrylics. It was a mix of roughly Tamiya Flat earth 50%, Buff 40%, White 10% and a touch of Sea Blue. Then I do a lightened version airbrushed from above with extra Buff/White mixed in then Sea Blue highly thinned and airbrushed from below. There was no Khaki oil base colour used for the base coat on this model. I used that dark wash then added more Burnt Umber and Cobalt blue to make it a little less transparent and used that for the darker shadows. I don't have exact ratios as I mix paint differently for each project and it changes every time. Hope that makes a little more sense.

    Great job. Was the pre shade you done off camera done in acrylics or was it done in oils? I was just wondering if you first pre shaded it with acrylics. Then used oils from then on.

    • @SmallSoldier
      @SmallSoldier  3 года назад +1

      Thanks! Yes, off-camera and in acrylics. I have a couple videos where I show exactly how I go about it. I always pre-shade in acrylics then oils over top.

    Scott.... I always appreciate that you do these videos. I’m still learning and at the early stages of my miniature painting adventure. Been armor modeling for 30 years, but wanted to venture out some. Did you film the face painting for this too? Again, very appreciative and thanks for sharing your time and knowledge!

    • @SmallSoldier
      @SmallSoldier  3 года назад

      Thanks so much for your kind words Johan! I hope you get as much out of figure painting as you do from armour modelling. It's a totally different mind set but so much fun when you start to catch on. Keep at it and you'll reap the rewards. No, sorry I didn't film the face painting on this one. I was on a deadline to complete it for the box art and am surprised I even got the uniform part filmed. Don't worry they're will be lots coming down the road. Cheers!

    btw, any advise on painting white shirts with regards to highlights and shadows using oils?

    • @SmallSoldier
      @SmallSoldier  3 года назад +2

      Awesome, glad you enjoyed it. With white use Indigo for the shadows and leave the white as your brightest highlight. Prime or paint the article of clothing in white and then all you need to do is create the shadows. Build them up slowly and in very thin layers. use a little Burnt Umber in the deepest creases. Does that help?

    In your experience, does the alcohol based medium of Tamiya have any effect on the oils ?

The base for the leather belt is a mix of burnt umber with maybe 10% yellow ocher mixed in. I keep it to a very thin glaze and build the shades up slowly.
