Thanks for this vid. I especially appreciate that it's a real-time vid, and all your comments and musings are very useful. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Another awesome painting tutorial Toby . Surprised to see you using brown wash on the skin , but it works well ! :-) Ideas for further tutorials . Hmm.. 95th Rifles Royal foot artillery Royal horse artillery Kgl Hussars Light Dragoons Light infantry Wellington British command staff Well you get the idea . ;-) Keep up the good work .
Toby, excellently constructed video. Just the right amount of information with actual time footage so that anyone with genuine interest can easily master the basics of layering and develop sound technique for painting to a reasonable (actually better than basic) standard. All they need is time, patience, a steady hand and enough interest to appreciate what looks convincing at this scale ie some colour sense. I have been painting wargaming models since before 1970 and still learn new techniques every time I paint. Thanks a million for all your help.
2022 September, tuning in from Saipan, September. One of the VERY BEST Napoleonics painting tutorials I've experienced! For 15mm, it's nigh on indispensable.
Great video, I have boxes of Perry and Victrix British to paint up. Still have a few French still so looking forward to your next tutorial hopefully French line infantry
Very good tutorial. I have problems with painting white uniforms for French Napoleonic Line Infantry. Could you make a tutorial for French Napoleonic Line Infantry as well please if you have time? Thanks
The first units I painted were for Halkets Brigade at Waterloo being :- 2/30th. Foot. 2/33rd. Foot. 2/69th. Foot. 2/73rd. Foot. I specifically mounted them 2 per base so that whenever we decide to fight Quatre Bras I could March them on the road in column of March that was around 1970. I painted them again in 15mm in 1976 I’m now painting them again with 18mm figures but no bases yet. I’m also painting a number of small units in 28mm for Sharp Practice as I only need around 50 figures of which some are Sharps mismashed unit of stragglers from Sharps Company. That should keep me busy. Let me know what primer you use?
i know its perhaps comparing apples with oranges, but for speed, with 1/72 figures the creases can be enhanced quite effectively with a simple slash of matt black. it will in no way produce the same superb effect, but at a distance in excess of a foot maybe on a wargames table, it is pleasing and better than the flat colour! again these are superb, thanks!
Thanks for the class! Great Job done! Suggest to have one of the next dedicated to the highlanders -with special attention to the tartan technics. (may be already done, then appreciate link). Nick
Extremely useful. I hope to see more Napoleonic. Some artillery and artillery pieces would be nice. Can't find a painting gun carriages tutorial anywhere on RU-vid.
What a great video, and it couldn't have come at a better time! I've just started a diorama and I was in need of a little painting help, although I have to say I usually paint mine as the 5th KGL :-) Also you should totally paint an Irish regiment
Sir. If possible could you please do a quick tutorial on painting 1 /72 scale British Napoleonic Infantry. Your 28 mm are great but I have a huge collection and could use some help. Thanks
Hi been watching you on youtube in the process of painting 28mm and learn how to paint the way you do on youtube. could you do painting step by step based on amercian civil war by perry 28mm. great work union and confedence
Great tutorial, I'm starting a peninsular army shortly, can you recommend a triad for the off white trousers, I want to look different from the belts and rifle sling? Thanks.
Thanks for your comment. Try using Vallejo Light mud as an undercoat and add vallejo Offwhite to lighten for first highlight. Finish with Offwhite on it's own.
+Duarte Dias If you're using Vallejo I reccomend using Prussian Blue as a base and add sky Blue or Deep Sky blue for the highlights. If you want to go lighter add white.
Personally I would be really interested in seeing your technique for white uniforms Toby..... Austrians for me...... I have some more work for you in the pipeline too.
Really impessive painting skills , can i ask why you don't mount the base of the figure on an old paint jar or similar ? Looks difficult to hold the way you do .
Superb tutorial. I followed it fairly much as said and produced the best figures I have ever painted. Many thanks for sharing your skills and I look forward to many more Napoleonic and, I hope, American Civil War tutorials.
I have just started painting Napoleonic miniatures and found your videos really helpful. I'm currently working on a battalion of 92nd highlanders and found your videos trying to find a tutorial on painting highlanders. Your black watch tutorial lead me here.
What kind of glue would you use to assemble these miniatures? I've looked everywhere I can and can't find any references to what glue to use... any ideas?
I am a starting painter on Napoleonic British Waterloo infantry and I always do the 4th King's Own. And you should do Victrix French line 1807-1812 fusilier. Love your videos :)
very impressive, extremely well done and worthy of a display case let alone a wargames table. it is however difficult to apply such depth if one is building an army from scratch and cannot afford this amount of preparation. never the less i would be proud to achieve this result!
Try E bay I am not kidding a lot of figures there but,press the buy now if you want to buy or bid up to yourself,find a lot of 1.32,or call to arms,and Victrix now make a good 1:32 as well,and you can get bot these on ebay and Italeria
John Wayne Everett Because black is a better "liner". You primer with black so you paint "inside" the black lines, & then the contrast makes the colors pop out. It makes better sense than to do it like this than to primer white then try to outline details in black. Some people even outline with a pen. So priming in black solves all that. :)
