Great Job, thanks for this video.....I got a lot of work to do with my soldiers, landskenecht german from early XVI century till SS leibstandarte , imperial 30 years War troops.....
Good video for figure painting on a small scale. Likewise a very good end result. I think that will be useful for me and my next figures. Greetings, Joachim
Lovely stuff. Use a glue gun or blu-tack to stick the feet to a bottle-top and you’d find the figure easier to handle. (Hot glue when dry peels off very easily without damaging your figure.)
@@DIOWORKbyErikWestberg Thanks for the quick reply Erik. That's good news as I recently bought a half dozen Windsor and Newton series 7 including those sizes. I also use Raphael 8404 series and Rosemary & Co series 33 Kolinsky sable brushes for my miniature figure painting. BTW, I subscribed to your channel after the YT algorithm send this video over my way. I'm looking forward to checking out more of your work. Cheers.
I have some old very detail army men im attempting to to do the same but i missed the beginning? Is this a multi video title?..is there a base coat? Ps great work!!!
Just got my first Zvezda kits today, but how did you pick the color? i am not having luck with the instructions or their site, is it best to go off historical photos online?
Hi, I have a lot of different colors of course. I have no specific colors I use, I look at many colors pictures and pictures of uniforms and just try to imitate what I see. The German uniforms had a lot of different green and grey shades. If I paint 3 figures, I always try to get 3 different shades of their uniforms, not a big difference just a little. Practice, practice and practice, that’s the only way. I hope you understand. I wish you luck with the painting. /Erik
Hi, I normally I always use Citadel Black chaos as primer, lately I have tried Citadel Corax white as primer and that works fine as well. Especially if you should paint the figure in brighter colors. /Erik
Hi, it’s some years since I made that video. Today I would say the step for a 1/72 face is something like this: Base color Highlights Shadow/shading Then on the most exposed part once again: Highlights Last, extreme highlights on classic parts like nose and chin etc.
