I appreciate the return to add red and some life to the skin. This is missing in many tutorials and even in marketing pictures for major figure brands. I suppose that ghostly pallor is almost inevitable when staring at the same face for so much time. Very nice!
I have been aero modelling for two years after an hiatus of some fifty one years & getting used to the new methods & equipment & paints available. My Daughter has recently suggested I try figure painting too, as an extra interest. This is a undoubtedly a new branch for me & , I felt, at a loss as to where to begin, especially as my skills are indeed somewhat limited. This video is, without doubt, absolutely amazing & very tutorial. Thanks for sharing &, I hope, in future, I will be able to come reasonably close to an acceptable display. Good luck.
Happy to hear you found your way back into this great hobby and like my video. I was experiencing the same when I restarted in 2020, a whole new world of materials, paints and products lay in front of me and it was kind of overwhelming. But with time and some experimentation I found my stuff and way to do things. Figures are a special branch of our hobby, something I invested a lot to improve because my figures were horrible two years ago. So don't be afraid of starting them, you will see what works for you with time and learn from the mistakes you will make. I now love figure painting and I am glad that I fought through the trouble at the beginning.
This is incredible work! I love how you give colour call outs as I'm a colour blind modeller and really struggle know what colours to use. Regards from England.
You are a very talented man. I would be very proud if I could do something like that. My age with the slight shaking does not let me paint such detials. I'm ok on the models I build. You do such beautiful work. I have subscribed to your channel just so I could watch someone with the talent you have. Your under standing of paint is wonderful. Your method of instructing are impressive. I was an instructor for years for all aspects of law enforcement. I thank you for your time and knowledge. Please be safe and happy
Thank you for your kind words. Happy to hear you like my work and my way of making videos. Makes me really happy to hear you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching and your support🙏
Thanks man, much appreciated 🙏😊 until now I only made amrican busts (video on channel), there will be a german one as I have one in my stash, but I don't know when.
Sehr stark Nils, Was eine Feinarbeit so eine Figur ist. Da braucht man echt Geduld und ruhige Hände wenn ich mir angucke sie klein ein Gesicht in diesem Maßgabe ist. Hut ab 🎩
Excellent video! I admire your figure painting skills and technique. I traditionally paint my fleshtones in oils, but acrylics is something I have been playing with. Your video helped. Thank you!
Thank you very much, happy to hear my video was helpful. I use oil paints for busts, but for 1/35 figures I was to lazy and wanted quicker results. Acrylics are not that beautiful as oils, but I prefer that quicker way.
Yes it is really complicated to paint and record such small pieces. Stay in focus, hit the right spot with the brush😅 but yes, more close ups would be useful for this kind of videos, i will try to improve this in future videos. Thank you for your thoughts and watching🙏
Servus, gerade dein Kanal entdeckt und direkt abonniert. Sehr gute Arbeit! Von den Metallpigmenten kann mein erstes Modell ein Lied singen. Das glitzert jetzt leider im Licht :D
Vielen Dank freut mich sehr zu hören. Ja am Anfang meiner Bastelkarriere habe ich auch nicht getrennt, wurde dann irgendwann stutzig als mein Reinigungswasser so komisch geglitzert hat🙈😅
Very very nice work. I'm currently working on improving my figure work, and your video is very inspirational and you had some good techniques. One improvement to your videos I would suggest, is zoom in more on the figure when painting. It is slightly hard to see any details when you are painting. I love this figure and your art work. Good job.
Thank you very much, happy you like my work and my video was helpful. Yes good point with the zoom ins. It's just so hard to paint and record at the same time, stay in focus and paint something nice looking😅 but in general you are absolutely right, painting details need close ups. I will keep that in mind for future projects. Thank you again🙏
Hallöchen, ick hab deine Videos sehr. Gerade die Bemalungen deiner Figuren finde ick sehr gelungen. Hätte gerne gewusst wo du diese Glasglocke her hast wo du das Diorama rein gebaut hat wo die Fallschirmjäger drin sind. 🤪 Klasse Arbeit mach weiter so. 😊
Hi, vielen Dank für dein Lob, freut mich sehr. Die Glasglocken bestelle ich bei eBay oder Amazon, die Preise und Verfügbarkeit variieren leider immer sehr, darum kann ich dir nicht die eine Anlaufstelle nennen. Aber bei den beiden bin ich bis jetzt immer fündig geworden👍
Right I dilute it with retarder, so the paint stays workable longer and doesn't leave tidemarks like it would do with water. And it blends better in the earlier applied layers.
Well that varies a bit depending on what I am painting. In general I would say 3 drops paint to one drop flow improver. Thinning mostly with vallejo thinner, some times Mrhobby Leveling thinner.
Nein, ich mache nichts drüber, die stehen ja in der Regel in der Vitrine ohne das man sie betatscht, daher brauchen sie das für mich auch nicht. Einzige Möglichkeit wäre wenn zB ein Enamel Produkt glänzend austrocknet, ich aber ein mattes Finish haben möchte, deshalb einen matten Klarlack drüberzulegen.
Do you have an email where you could give me some tips on a certain diorama project/idea I want to start? I'd just need your expertise on what materials and techniques to use in order for me to make it.
Hi, thank you for your trust in me, I am by far an expert and I am not sure if I can help you. But we can try, I think the most easy way is to contact me on Instagram per dm, otherwise you can send an email to biberhunterscalemodels@gmail.com. Thank you🙏
@@romarisdesigns4012 I just tested it with my private mail, it worked. Maybe you misspelled something? Or try a dm on Instagram or Facebook, that should work for sure.
Great job. Ive tried using retarder before but I just can't seem to make it work for me.... Feels like im just painting holes and every stroke or stipple just behaves like how a boat leaves a wake in water.
@@biberhunter_scale_models Hi thanks for replying. I always paint with water (20yrs) and always wick excess water off. I think its the gel like medium i struggle with because ive struggled with mixing with other mediums also. Maybe i should just stick with water. It just works 🙂
Super Video und eine fantastische Arbeit. Allerdings ist dein Englisch nicht so gut. Warum redet ihr nicht Deutsch und unterlegt es mit englischen Texten ?
Vielen Dank, schön das dir meine Arbeit gefällt. Natürlich ist mein Englisch nicht perfekt, aber in zwei Jahren RU-vid bist du jetzt der zweite der mir sagt es ist schlecht, und das kam beide Male von Deutschen😅. Die "native speaker" sind froh das man sich die Mühe macht die Videos in englischer Sprache zu machen, und da hat mir noch keiner etwas negatives zu gesagt. Da bin ich bei weitem auch nicht der einzige Kanal der Videos in nicht perfekter, weil nicht gebürtiger Englischer Sprache macht. Es ist halt generell angenehmer beim schauen was passiert nicht ständig unten mitlesen zu müssen. Dazu kommt, daß Video ist anderthalb Jahre alt, seitdem hat sich mein Englisch eventuell auch etwas gesteigert, vllt auch nicht😉. Das ist auf jeden Fall der Weg den ich hier gehe, da wie gesagt die Reaktionen überwiegend positiv sind. Trotzdem danke für dein Feedback 🤘
