Your pronunciation of van Gogh is spot on. The other pronunciations are French or German and not how the man pronounced his own name. He also signed his work “Vincent” because of this pronunciation issue.
"It's better to check, then have to remove a bit more than to build things up with putty". Truer words were never spoken! :) The last two washes on the faces really do the trick--well done!
Those came out nicely. Liked your approach to face painting too (I always freak as the flesh tones look ghastly pale until the red wash) and appreciated seeing how it looked wet and then dried and ready for next color.
Thank you for sharing, I bought these figures for a diorama idea from my Luft46 book Thank you for the great tutorial, as I do scratch build, working with these figures will be great
No issue with your figure painting, James....always an informative and well shot tutorial video. You're absolutely right....figure painting requires lots of practice to keep the momentum going (which is something I need to kick start again!!). Great job so will be keeping an eye out for the upcoming diorama.
You have done a excellent job with these figures, I really like the way the unifo3came and and the skin tones were also well done best regards from Australia.
Excellent work James, nice video! Used this set myself couple of years ago, had similar problems as usual with some clean up first but overall liked them a lot. They'll look great in your diorama. Really well painted - looking smart!😌👌
Thanks mate ! I really struggle with figure videos. Without filming I can get such amazing results. But the extra distance with the camera in the way makes it 100% more difficult :p
Great vid and nout wrong wit’ your brush skills there mate! I used the Tamiya X]Extra Thin quite heavy on gaps that needs some ‘love’ to fit right. If you use enough it melts the plastic, press hard together till the softened plastic oozes out slightly then hold till almost set. Reapply some glue to soften the ooze and all good…..no filler!
Plastic heads, sometimes you find decent faces but the ears are a let down. Only real solution I found is to make a press mould from Hornet heads or detailed resin heads and recast the ears. Making the mould from either Oyamaru or whatever it’s called or actual epoxie putty. Seems like a lot of extra work but does bring styrene heads to a usable state…
Hi James, I really love your channel up with Ebroin’s miniatures. There is a warplane build I’d love one of you modelling experts to do. A Vietnam era A 26 Marauder. It has to be the meanest looking plane ever and was the predecessor to the A10. Just an idea for a build. It would be weathered to hell too - your specialty.
I think that are very nice James . But i recomend to speend money on a resin figure, they are much better sculpted , and das easy to paint, but i think that are really nice . Well done mate
Can I ask if you wet blend all the highlights on the cloth, or if the paint is transparent enough that they blend in naturally? Something I’m having a bit of trouble with when it comes to my own figures
Great figures painting skills as usual. You done some real good job. BTW that footwraps called portyanki (or in this case - portyanka) and i don't hink they would be so white) But tht is just my opinion, work done undeniably great. P.S. Sorry for bad english.
Looking good James. The only downfall is the figures themselves IMO. Your right when you say the details are soft. It's really a shame that Miniart has such rough castings, however, their poses and subject matter are always really good. With the technology today there really shouldn't be all that excess flash either. I think they need to really step up their game if they want to stay current and competitive. Looking forward to the diorama... KUTGW.
Thanks mate ! Yeah it's a tad dissapointing. I thought they were old ones until I looked on scalemates and saw 2017 release. I might have to invest in some generic hornet heads or go all resin next time !
@@lpjmodels Yeah, agreed. I try and avoid buying Miniart after being quite disappointed with previous purchases. I find MB to be a little better when it comes to plastic. Yes, resin replacement heads are a must.
@@SmallSoldier I have to say I completely agree. Some of their kits are amazing and the fit is perfect with next to no flash. But some of them are just horrible
Great videos as always. Are you going to the show at the tank museum at all this weekend. I might go down Sunday, depends on the weather as it's about a two hour drive each way for me.
Changing the thumbnail screwed with me big time LOL At first I thought I was losing my mind, I was like the background was just white and now it's black. 😂
Great painting, you even managed to accentuate the parts that are not that crisp or lack details. Please, for some other time, think about painting some high quality resin figures with lots of details.

What do you think of these Figures?
Can you build the takom m47 and special hobby tempest in the Pakistani scheme or the new airfix spitfire xviii in the Indian scheme ?
As per usual mate an absolutely amazing video. I'm absolute garbage at figures, but I might give this a try
Quite realistic. And very nice explained video. Have you tried using oils at the top for blending? Its way more easier and the results are quite good.
Very nice looking figures!!
Brilliant !!!

You help me out everyday. And you don’t have busted fingernails, which is a major plus. Keep the videos coming, you’re amazing.
Thankyou, that's very kind !... I used to, but I was sick of having them taint my videos lol.. strange things drive us to change and improve.
Great work James
See you Thursday ☺️
I always look forward to watching your videos because they are so informative and easy to understand. Good job!! Thanks for sharing. Stay safe mate.

Reeealy nice work!
They look great James, I don't do figures because they are so hard to get right, but I think you nailed it... Well done.
Thanks John ! They can be tricky and I struggled a little this time
Very cool, great vid!! 👍👍👍
Thanks mate !
Beautiful work!
Great paint job very informative
For me as I'm not much good
At painting figures.
Very nice work again pal, figures have always been my week point but after this vid you've given me inspiration to give it a go. Cheers 🍻🍻👍
They turned out amazing! Can't wait to see the diorama. Cheers

Thanks Ste !

This was really awesome. I'm doing some WW1 German infantry in 1/35. My first figures other than pilots. Many Many thanks.
Thanks Wade ! Ww1 is cool
So nice tutorial! So good video! I follow your work!
Thankyou LM !

I loved them actually I'm working on my first figures first time so thanks for tips and video 🙂
Glad it helped mate
Great result :)
A lot better? Mate your skills are amazing! 😊
And then here I am trying to cheat my way with dark washes/inks and couple of highlights 😄
If it works it works !
Great job thanks for the video it's a great help.
Cheers Paul !

That sounds like a lot of work. I was considering sculpting some but time was an issue there

Yes we read the subtitles put at 4:00
👍👍👍
I think that are very nice James . But i recomend to speend money on a resin figure, they are much better sculpted , and das easy to paint, but i think that are really nice .
Well done mate
Thanks Mate ! I used to use resin figures all the time but cost is an issue at the moment
Brilliant method, where do you get the kcolor blender from please.
Can I ask if you wet blend all the highlights on the cloth, or if the paint is transparent enough that they blend in naturally? Something I’m having a bit of trouble with when it comes to my own figures
4:00 yes I’m that sad, I rewind and pause in case I’ve missed something.😂
👌
I from Kharkov Ukraine. Thank you very much for your support.
Andrei, I wish I could do more to help. Stay safe brother!
I have problems finding videos again
👍
Great figures painting skills as usual. You done some real good job.
BTW that footwraps called portyanki (or in this case - portyanka) and i don't hink they would be so white) But tht is just my opinion, work done undeniably great.
P.S. Sorry for bad english.
Ivan thankyou, I wasn't sure if it was Portyanki or bandage, and the box art was white ( so they were incorrect) I always welcome some tips thankyou
@@lpjmodels maybe it is just brand new portyanka.

Are you from the West Country out of curiosity? Great video and v helpful as I am currently working on a SU76 with Russian soldiers

Hi Mark how was the tank museum? It was sophs birthday weekend so we missed it this year
@@lpjmodels Due to weather warnings I didn't go. Wish I did as I feel the weather wasn't as bad as they forecast.
@@markIburgess I hear you ! I Might be going to Yeovil show.. maybe.. if I can get a few pennies saved :L
Changing the thumbnail screwed with me big time LOL At first I thought I was losing my mind, I was like the background was just white and now it's black. 😂
😅 I tried the grey / white but haven't quite cracked it on the camera yet. I put it up and it was sloppy so had to change it !
@@lpjmodels The Black background looks better to me. It makes the figures and their awesome paint job stand out more. 👍👍
Great painting, you even managed to accentuate the parts that are not that crisp or lack details. Please, for some other time, think about painting some high quality resin figures with lots of details.
Thanks mate ! I do usually prefer resin figures, the cost is an issue at the moment though
Can you build the takom m47 and special hobby tempest in the Pakistani scheme or the new airfix spitfire xviii in the Indian scheme ?
Hi Omer. Not until I have cleared out the stash a bit
@@lpjmodels okay bro
when will you be painting the figures for the first world war car?
Hi Kate, I kept having texture issues with them. I painted the faces 3 times. Gave up in the end. Maybe in the future but I'm not sure
2:41 - 2:50
Bug
I was looking for a glitch 🤣 yes I get one of those critters every now and again
I sure hope thats not a flea 🤔
@@natasha6975 definately not. Fleas are black and jumpy
