I've never done figures but just watching has me wanting to try.

@RexusOutfitters 6 дней назад

Amazing detail quality in the sculpting of the figure!

@dumpbeez15 Год назад

Your videos for painting figures are fantastic. You take something that seems so complicated and make it simple and easy to understand. I am inspired to try figures again. Cheers

@SpruesNBrews Год назад

Thank you so much! I'm really glad to hear it & appreciate your support 👍

Always amazed at the details you get on your figures with all the color combos, not to mention a bit envious :-) Good brushes and paints do make the difference.

@SpruesNBrews Год назад

Thank you so much! And yes, I was lucky to find these brushes that I like that aren't too expensive - they do make quite a difference 👍

@rolandmorris3510 Год назад

Really good technique. Always enjoy the content. Alpine makes quality stuff. It's just so frustrating that they don't seem capable of making combat posed figures for people who build dioramas. Alpine figures are great if you're putting on a das Wehrmacht fashion show.

@SpruesNBrews Год назад

Thanks! Yeah I really like their figures, too - and I do often hear that about the poses for sure

@mattsoffe1716 Год назад

Hi, just getting back into the hobby after a long hiatus - can you please recommend a good manufacturer that does produce great combat pose figures?

@Subzero2151 Год назад

Great job here, those Alpine figures are among the best available i believe, and ive started to build up a nice collection of them !!!

Hey Hank looking good I done ceramic painting in the past and had a lot of luck with those then they fell out of popularity lol. Now back into the hobbies at 51 I do enjoy this part of the Hobby and look to do bigger figures thanks for the video. Thomas over at the Model Hobbyist

Hey man, great videos! Actually planning to use these to kick off my very first model ever-- some German infantry from Master Box-- and I'm definitely going to go and purchase from the links to materials in this video and your "faces made easy" description. One question-- what cement do you use to bond pieces? I was looking at Tamiya's extra thin cement on Amazon, but not sure what the best brand to use is. Recommendations? What do you use?

@simonburch7643 Год назад

Another beautiful figure. Love the boots.

@MrBobbyf1959 16 дней назад

Great tutorial. I've just began building models again, but have not attempted to paint figures. Would the same techniques be successful with the included figures in many of the kits available? Or is painting resin figures its own special technique?

@shanecollis4207 Год назад

You don't paint the individual pieces first? Like the machine gun and gun pouch before gluing them?

Awesome skills & techniques on painting. Your video has now given my son and I motivation to acquire some and practice on. Any ideas where one can get the appropriate sized soldier action figures to paint for 1/16 scale tanks. What would be a proper sized soldiers dimensions in inches, if possible? Thanks.

Is each paint coat straight from the bottle or do you water them down?

@elodestok8388 5 месяцев назад

Hi! What sized or Brushes you are using Painting the miniature? Thanks

@SpindlerIan 10 месяцев назад

When glazing, how many coats do you do for each item? Is it enough to convey the colour but still show the black and satin white base coat below for the contrast?

@lawtongore7053 Год назад

Excellent work 👍👍👍... I hope that you eventually do a 1980's era camouflaged us figure??? I was in during the 80's and I really don't see hardly any good Infantry figures that I would want to build to be honest...

Hi Hank. Great videos. Rediscovering scale modelling after many years. Just watching this video as about to paint the figures from the Tamiya SAS jeep kit and hoping to use your techniques. When painting the different colour layers on the faces, do you allow each layer to dry before the next or does the blending of the layers require the layers to be wet. Thanks in advance.

@jimmychengdu Год назад

a never disappointing excellent tutorial on straight forward painting, besides my love for WW11 figures I also love French and British tin Napoleonic figures about 54mm scale, I think I like the bright colors LOL, would the same rules and procedures apply ?

@SpruesNBrews Год назад

Thank you! I'm glad to hear it - and the same concepts should apply, for sure!

@MazingerZX Год назад

Awesome! Love the finished work. I’m new to painting so am a little confused with the zenithal priming in this process. The subsequent color paint is so opaque and seem to have covered up the light and shadow of the zenithal layer. I assume it was intentional and glazing method was only on the face? I thought glazing would look more transparent if it was also done on the uniform? The later wash layer really made a big difference and brought out the details. Thank you for the awesome demonstration video!

@SpruesNBrews Год назад

Thank you for watching! Yes, the glazing on the body was a little thicker than I'd initially wanted, but each time is a learning experience 👍

Good Morning, I love your videos and have learned a lot. I recently started doing Figures and really like it. I did my First clear coat, then wash. It made my figures very dark. I don't know what I did wrong. also my thinner is not like water. I'm thinking I should have to thin the wash also and get a different thinner but I don't see in any of your details what washes and thinner your using.

@SpruesNBrews Год назад

Thank you very much - I'm glad to hear it! What kind of thinner/wash are you using? I have some links in the description here to the exact products I use, so hopefully that's helpful!

Hey am I supposed to be cutting the mig wash with water? I’ve completely ruined two miniatures and don’t want to try again till I can do this properly

@benjaminburton8135 День назад

Howdy! I've not used mig myself, but if it is an enamel based wash, you may have to use mineral spirits (or in England, white spirits as I am led to believe.) Double check, but that is what I have done with similar products myself. I hope this helps!

@gustavoadolfogarza3476 Год назад

Hi Hank, great work, congratulations. I have a questions : How type and brand of thinner you use to diluated your paints ? In what proportion do this ? Thanks in advance. Greetings from Monterrey, Mexico. P.D. I'm a fan of you

@SpruesNBrews Год назад

Hi there - I just dilute these acrylic paints with a little bit of water. It varies depending on the consistency of the paint, but you should be able to experiment until you find something that works well for you - that's the beauty of acrylics! Thanks for watching 👍

@piercebobo5754 Год назад

If I wanted to do a clay wash and a pin wash for weathering, which should I do first?

@SpruesNBrews Год назад

I would do the clay wash first & then apply another layer of gloss varnish before moving on to the pin wash - the two will interact with each other unless separated by a varnish coat 👍

@graysmodels2236 Год назад

Hi quick question, ive attemped to paint my soldiers like you with the wooden block & screw, but carnt seem to get the figure to stick to the screw, is there a special glue you use, thanks 😊

@SpruesNBrews Год назад

Sure! I use Krazy Glue (superglue), but any cyanoacrylate glue should get the job done. Sometimes I have to hold the figure in place a little longer than other times for the glue to cure fully. Also, sanding the screw & figures foot down a little bit can help with adhesion. Happy painting! 👍
