Excellent work
Wow I could never do this. Skin is my weak point. Amazing
Practice, practice, practice. Remember, it's all about laying dozens of layers of super thin paint... like water.
Brilliant 👏 well done you . Got some good tips . Thanks again 😊
Thank you, I appreciate your feedback! 😀
Excellent skin colour. Almost disappears in your hand. Awesome work.
He literally came alive in the video.Your tips were extremely helpful. It should only take me about 20 or 30 years to get to this level.Thank you!
LOL thank you my friend :-)
When you were moving and rotaing him in your hand he looked almost as though he was going to move his head too....absolutely amazingly realistic...and compliments to a great casting in the kit too...its bloody fantastic..literally like a 1/10 waxwork from Mada,e Teusauds
Thank you sir 🙂
Hi Tim, I have just across your channel and watched both episode 1&2, it was both fantastic and encouraging, as I have a couple of figures to paint ONE OF these days. I have now subscribed so will look forward to some more great content, best regards from Australia.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it... I hope it helps you on your future projects!
Very nice. Beautiful work. And great narration. Thanks
Moin form Hamburg Thank you form the tips !!!! KLASSSSSE !!!!!!! Work

Tanks fron Brasil.
Amazing Painting Skills.
Came out splendid! Would love to see more videos like that
Absolutely fantastic
Amazing paint work. Wish I could do half as good. 👏👏👏👍
Thank you very much!
Amazing...
One thing you can do that is totally worth It. A graphite pencil along the edge of the helmet and on the bolt on the side of the helmet. Super nice stuff either way.
For me the best tutorial I have come across for painting a face, very in depth and detailed, thank you. Interesting use of what is not your traditional style of wet palette, I would be concerned about the fibres of the paper towel getting mixed in with the paint after it becomes wet and starts to break down, but if it works for you then its all good. The finished figure is superb and you should be very proud of it, wonderful work.
LOL, yeah Tony I don't use that anymore. That was an early experiment. I use this one now...

LOVE IT!!
great video learnt a lot from it where did you get the helmet decals from?
Thanks Stephen. I made the decals myself on my inkjet printer.
What paint brushes do you use? Especially for the eyes and super detail stuff...
've tried everything from dirt cheap to super expensive and I've actually found these to be the best value. Remarkably inexpensive but I'd pay twice the price for the quality you get...

@@41sniper WOW...many thanks for trading your secrets....all I need now is to poach your many years of experience. Loving your work and generosity
Best regards from England
what base color do you use? thanks
Oscar, it's shown at 3:37... it's Vallejo Mahogany Brown
hey, why do you use satin varnish, i thought most people always say matt is best? i'm really curious
also what finish do you find Vallejo Model paints to be? thank you for the reply☺️
I rarely use satin, almost exclusively matte. I only use the satin on things like gun stocks, metal surfaces, etc. Flesh, leather and cloth always gets matte.
@@41sniper ok the helmet was metal hence the satin. i really hope you do some 1/35 scale figures from WWII time frame. Off-topic question, have you tried Scale75 paints, the scale-color (original black lids) or the Warfront (green lids) paints ?
@@MF-kv8cn Yes, being metal, I use satin on the helmet... it helps to differentiate the texture from the cloth and skin. I've not used Scale75 but they look like a very good product. I like to stick with what I know and what is working for me. As for 1/35, that's pretty much all I did for most of my modelling career... I've only recently started doing larger scale projects... especially when sculpting my own. If you check the rest of my RUclips Channel you'll find several other videos of mine in 1/35th scale... like this one...

@@41sniper scale75 original and warfront in my experience are terrible. i asked because i was wondering what kind of results you received. for me they have poor coverage and leave brush strokes. i needed 8 coats to eliminate the brush strokes and 5 to cover a flat primed white surface. i did a test before i used them on my figure. i did a control test with vallejo and AK and they covered in two coats sans (no) brush strokes. I'm curious how their Artist line in the 20ml tubes behave.
@@MF-kv8cn Gotcha, thanks for the heads up. I usual Vallejo and AK exclusively. A little Model Masters in a pinch if I need it in a hurry.
ah, ok a shade more reddish, I thought you used a matte earth
sorry, it was the base color of the jacket
Aha, the other video... similar answer but not as simple. If you watch the beginning of the video you'll see that it's a custom mix starting again with Mahogany Brown but I mixed in some white and neutral grey to mute it down until I got what I thought was right based on the reference photos.
It is too bad that it was not a whole body model because just the upper torso is weird and CREEPY
