I have similar knotty pine paneling. Is it possible to pull off, cut down to get rid of that scalloping pattern and sand down the yellowishness? It could be made great I think....
This is one of THE nicest representations of armor in the field Ive ever seen. Not over weathered and worn as so many others Ive seen. The detailing is incredible. And even the detail of the landscape is amazing. Great job! Looks like the real thing. From a Cavalry Scout that served as a Bradley CFV driver and crew member with 3rd ACR.
Very coo details I found your channel through Just paint it, Jerry over there recommended your channel so I came over and gave you a sub. I'm just getting back into hobbies and with the purchase of a 3D resin printer I'm really getting into figure painting I painted ceramics years ago and now I'm doing much smaller resin figures. 🙂Thomas over at The Model Hobbyist
Thank you Sir! The sponge really did the trick for me. I was applying a lighter gray tone with it and glazed / washed the bright sprinkles down to a more subdued color to get a nice textured effect! Great tutorial!
Hi, can you help us with the ww2 italian uniform? In particular the two version greygreen amd blueish green grey (i ve seen it specially at mvsn black shirt). Thank you very much :)
There were a Dozen different shades of Field Gray Dark throughout the war WW2.. Many different Uniform manufacturers that used 2 to 3 different thread colors to get a Field Gray Dark and those shades changed from factory to factory and even the trousers seldomly matched the tunic. Also there were 5 different helmet factories that mixed their Field gray Dark paint a bit differently and there was no exact shade, from heating lot batch to heating lot batch, week to week, month to month at 5 different helmet factories.. There is NO standard German Field Gray Dark, there never was. End of Story
Hi Dave, great video, nice presentation and a nice 'find' with those GreenStuff leaf punches. However, I have to ask WHY you bother with real leaves? Yes, okay, you soak them in glycerine, which preserves them, but they will eventually dry out and crumble and decompose. It's just not worth all the effort in my opinion. So why not use paper, which doesn't need preserving at all? I mean I've found newspapers in attics that are decades old and paper books in museums that are hundreds of years old. LOL The other benefit of paper is it's absorbent, so you can stick them onto twigs using thin CA glue and the leaves not only stick to the 'twigs' but also soak up the glue and turn plastic-like......... preserving the paper even more. They'd last 1000yrs! BTW, I use cigarette 'rolling papers' to make my leaves. It's very thin, slightly translucent and if coloured with inks/dyes/watercolours, they will let light through and look even more realistic.
I just now found your channel. I feel like I'm four years late and several dollars short. I never knew you could use green leaves. Hair spray is the secret, huh? I've got a cheap leaf maker that won't cut paper, and when it wouldn't cut paper I never tried a green leaf. Do you sell leaf cutters? I'd be interested in a new one that works. Thank you for your video and instructions.
I re-watch this series almost every time I start a new figure - Really helpful! Also, just bought my first bottle of Burnt Umber. Can't wait to use it!
No effect that I know of - you just have to paint the pattern by first laying out the vertical lines and then begin arduous task of creating the hatching!
It is awesome. I watched many videos to learn how to paint wood. Your video is best for beginner like me. This video made me to push the button of subscribe.
Another Last Cavalry keeper! Your explanation process is always clear and understandable Dave. On the background, I'd be fighting tooth and nail too if I saw that "vision" behind me!
