Jacket color comes from a mix of russian uniform (Vallejo model color) and kakhi (game color). Every figure has a slightly different shade, but those are the main colours I used.
The first second i saw your tank hull i literally said : "Dayum, it's stunning" , cuz it is man. I very much like how You've managed to pull of such small and imprortant details like rust, different colors of rubber tarp on the turret and that subtle shine the whole model has. I wish i could do as well as you did, it's fucking gorgeous, man
Really appreciated for your support! You got all the little details 👍🏼. Yes, I like to give my models a slightly satin finish, later it creates an interesting contrast with the dust finish. Getting similar results it's possible, just matter of practicing. Thanks for your kind words, cheers
Thanks for your comment. Nice, that's an interesting video topic and to be honest face painting has been in my mind for too long. Maybe it's time to begin working...
@@notjustpanzer It’s also cool that you placed the log ramp facing in the right direction, especially when you consider that almost everyone uses the film Saving Private Ryan as source of information when studying D-Day which places the log ramps facing in the wrong direction.
Hahah, yes your are right. I used capa's photos as one of my main sources for inspiration. So in that way there is no chance for that kind of mistakes.
Hi buddy, your diorama is amazing. I just subscribed. the hole set up is just awesome, and you have done a brilliant job on the figures. Least we forget. Cheers, Gary UK 🇬🇧
Hi Gary, thanks for your support. I really appreciate your comment. This kind of scenes without vehicles are a little bit harder to design but in the end it turned out really well.
That is a fantastic job. Patience is key to great work that I don't have myself. The last time I painted any figures was the base colour and then a wash which doesn't always work. I do have trouble painting faces and flesh tones. I use a wash again of light rust for shadows on faces. Again it doesn't work right. Great job on that diarama scene.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️
Thanks for your comment! In the past I tried the some of the techniques you say. But figures need to be painted with different techniques than scale models. Acrylic painting has to be excuted with more patience but results are really good.
@@notjustpanzer Agreed. Thanks for the paint lesson and I forgot to mention the individual work and result of each soldier is well executed. Nice work.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️
Hi, well obviously the effect won't be exactly the same if you render 3 colours instead. But you can still it try using 3 oil colours ( I would take colors with different values, maybe grey/ yellow, green and raw umber).
I don't recommend you to use acrylics in this way. Acrylics dry much quicker and you don't have enough time to blend the colors properly, that's the oil's advantage.
Thanks! It was the hardest part of all of it. Once I knew figure uniforms were not 100% accurate, I had no other choice. Trying to sculpting these parts was challenging, but I think I had good results.
I ALSO HAVE MADE A TAMIYA T-55 MODEL IN 1/48 SCALE. I CHANGE IT TO BECOME A TYPE 59 TANK OF CHINESE PLA. I PUT IT WITH A MIG-17 JET MODEL IN THE SAME SCALE, 1/48. THIS MIG-17 IS A JET OF THE CHINESE PLAAF
The second dragon figures are not a set for the "Omaha beach" and similar amphibian assault as the another box, that figures are created with the Pointe du Hoc assault to localize and destroy the 155mm canyons on a sea cliff a few hours before the D day operation. That is probably the reason of the more static poses.
Yes you're right. The fit better in a scene looking upwards. I bought them because I wanted to include some other figures to increase variation (also two of these rangers wear the assault vest, so they fit correctly for a 1st/29th infantrymen as well). But the main reason why I didn't use them it's due to their sculpting, in my opinion their level of detail is lower, 29th figures come more detailed. Also there is a noticeable size difference, ranger figures are taller.
@@notjustpanzer that's right, the dragon kit (are pre gen2) gen2 is a new sculpt details and variation of the old dragon models references. The gen2 on that reference only include a new sprue with new heads and weapons. The 29th figures are better on detail so far. It's a very detailed job you did here.
BEST D-DAY DIORAMA I’VE SEEN , honestly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s like you’re right there taking COVER !!!!!!!!!!! VERY NICE JOB 👍 I’ll watch this again !!!!!!!!!! CHRIS from OHIO 🇺🇸
Great video thanks for making it. I would like to see some step by step figure painting showing what paints and what mixes you used if you have the time . Your figures look very fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
