Me: 40 yrs of figure painting to get to my skill level. Nightshift: ~one year Both: painting is fun

@somethingorother319 2 года назад

That's one way to look at it, but you have to account for his several years of painting in general too. Experience in the general field still counts towards sub-categories.

@brianreddeman951 2 года назад

@@somethingorother319 Well of course but he is a very talented artist far in excess of my own skills 😁 All admiration from me.

@DiegoSableZub 2 года назад

He is lying that for two years he has only been painting figures. This is a PR move. But it works beautifully, there's nothing to say. I adopted some of the tricks for myself.

@ftanakasp Месяц назад

Nice tutorial. Great videos thanks. Also the phrase “keep building models, do not collect them” is the best phrase in the plastic model hobby environment, great job.

@stephenbridges2791 2 года назад

I like your result. There are some that say a very dark grey is actually a correct representation of black in 1/35 scale due to the scale effect. I have tried that and never was happy with the result, either. I have found that adding some type of blue to the color works for my eye. Saving black for darkest of the recesses. Two useful colors for hair in the Tamiya range are clear blue and smoke (clear black). These two thinned down to a filter consistency work for black hair. A mix of clear blue, clear yellow, and clear red work for brown hair. Since they are clear, your previous shading can still be seen. The smoke can also be used for shadows in a black uniform. Lately though, I have been using oils a whole lot more than I used to. I've been leaning that way more and more.

@granola661 2 года назад

Otherwise nice but they look like gollum with that yellowish skin tone

@Brent-Nelson68 3 месяца назад

There is no such thing as scale effect in regards to color.

@sergeytimchik1440 2 года назад

Круто! Очень круто! Посмотрев твои видео новичкам не нужно покупать какие-то журналы и пособия. Ты очень понятно показываешь. Так держать!

@warrencann3824 2 года назад

I've watched heaps of figure painting tutorials AND I still learned heaps from this one! I think you already have hit on a unique style. They look brilliant.

@jacobs_models995 2 года назад

Not usually this early to one of your vids Uncle. My excitement for the final product and diorama is unmatched right now!

@mikoajbienkowski2305 2 года назад

"And its easier for the avarage Joe. I know it because im one of them." "And that was a f*ckin lie." Amazing and inspiring work. I will use them at my next project. Thank you so much

@earh0xable 2 года назад

Oils and enamels are becoming a lot more common in miniature figure painting. I use them quite often. It’s cool to see how a scale modeler approaches figure painting. Great video, as always!!

@ianstewartbrown5308 2 года назад

You sir are a genius when it comes to painting!!

@larrymanns364 2 года назад

The fur texture on the puppy is incredible!

@christophernorgaar6373 2 года назад

In a long line of great & informative videos, this one is my favorite. I am learning figure painting as well. I agree the sculpt of the figure is important. No matter how complex, a good sculpt will assist in painting. BTW, the little dog was the best part & I'm sure it will add realism & "life" to your diarama. I hope to become as good as you are.

@buryatsky 2 года назад

I got additcted to your "Ma Frends!", I', waiting it for the new chapter every Friday. Thank you for your great videos and amazingly detailed work. Your models are far beyond a hobby and I'm happy you are able to make living out of your passion.

@crtzmo 2 года назад

Really well done and interesting approach, thank you for sharing this! Question / suggestion: 14:05, you can see the sitting figure with the hat casting a shadow on the tank from your studio light - to better "integrate" figures with the tank, wouldn't this be something you can address during the build of the diorama? Deciding on where the sun is, and adding shadows to bring everything together, tank, figures, diorama details.. Just an idea. Thanks again!

@GrannyBender 2 года назад

It could be a really interesting approach.

@jacobakana5649 2 года назад

Those look awesome! The fur on the puppy definitely does look nice! Great job as always!

@Vincent-gc8zd 2 года назад

I'm always something new from my visits to your channel. Such quality 👌

@FearGFX 2 года назад

Pin washes and oil paints work perfectly on figures! I've been mixing different techniques from different leagues of scale modeling in my bust-and figure painting

It never ceases to amaze how talented dudes are in stuff you never even considered.

@coldemonspl 2 года назад

Hi Martin, the Jagdpanther looks great, I can't wait to see it on the base, the whole thing is visually very clear, you have a nice camo color, the contrasts do a great job here, just like the weathering. I especially like the mud that you placed very nicely on the model. Dry grass on flat surfaces is great, I also use it sometimes on my models. I like that you started adding some stowage to the models. This undoubtedly enriches the model and additionally attracts the attention of viewers. I remember your models from Moson, when you showed them in the old building, where I missed these little things, although they looked great anyway! ourite Especially my favourite M36 jackson with rubber side skirts! Old times! I'm looking forward to see the next episode! cheers!

@coenvancamp1976 2 года назад

If you’re interested; in the games industry we call those red skin tones in the face ‘sub-surface scattering’ or SSS for short.

@FredGlt 2 года назад

You have done an amazing work, Martin, and that puppy sure looks adorable :D The only thing I would say is : the skin tones are a bit too… yellow-ish. If you compare it to your fingers when you were holding the figurines, you'll probably see that your fingers had a bit more pink to them. Right now, it feels like there's a layer of fine sand dust on their arms and faces, which doesn't fit with the cleaner clothes. Otherwise, the shading is very well done and you've truly outdone yourself on those black pants, they look perfect!

@SmallSoldier 2 года назад

Excellent work on those figures again Martin! Who doesn't like a cute little puppy.👌

Dublin says a big Hello! Absolutely Brilliant!

@drakethornix6954 2 года назад

Absolutely love your videos and find them super interesting. Another option you could do to make the arms more interesting is to possibly add grime on them, like grease and oil from them maintaining and living in the tank.

@andrewschanck3363 2 года назад

Martin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As usual... Incredible.

@Ring_nuts 2 года назад

@rrl4245 2 года назад

Totally agree with your points about diorama modeling - I consider the base one 'model', the figures another and the vehicle or vehicles (tanks, cars, trucks, APCs, etc.) still more...

@mikequandt7724 2 года назад

Excellent job and thanks again for the tips. I've been a modeler for 51 yrs. Mainly armour now and did my first alpine figure recently. Can't wait to do another while using the techniques that you have shown. Thank you again!

@beck645 2 года назад

These videos are incredible! Has anyone noticed when he says “my friends” at the beginning that he sounds just like Gary Oldman playing Bram Stokers Dracula? To me he’s a dead ringer for him. I love listening to him speak. Excellent teacher. I’d love to sit with him and watch and learn.

@certifiedidiot9625 2 года назад

These are the best figures I’ve ever seen!

@somethingorother319 2 года назад

They look amazing, dude. You're smart for branching out on medium types. I'm almost entirely an acrylic painter (and almost solely for figures). But I wouldn't say your way is lazier at all. Work smarter, not harder.

@feydrautha212 2 года назад

You singlehandedly destroyed my figure paintig universe - it took me years of mastering figure painting with oils and you revolutionized it in one year! Bravo! Kudos! Gonna have to try out your method, that's for sure - thanks!

@martinbradstreet5728 2 года назад

Looks great, bud! You can be humble all you want. I just hope and pray I ever get as good as you with painting figures!!! I will take refuge in the addage "Practice makes perfect", I think!!! That much I can be sure of (as long as my attitude stays even keel)!!! Thank you for all you do - I love your attitude and hard work!! -Martin

@warwickstephenson1613 2 года назад

Finally I might be able to paint some figures. Thankfully my recent build an m60a1 with era painted in the summer merdc scheme is coming along nicely along with my Serbian m36 Jackson. Will you ever paint a us army tank in the merdc schemes.

@BERGY212 Год назад

Great tutorial, thank you very much!

@Duececoupe 2 года назад

I took that as a recommendation my friend, just subscribed to Calvin Tan and Miniac! Looking forward to see the next video! Keep up the phenomenal and very inspiring work! 🤜🏻🤛🏻🍻

@raymondserafin9396 Год назад

Great job pending the figures hope I can paint something figures like that I keep practicing

@herrlogan17 2 года назад

Just in time to get an inspiration. Amazing work, those figures looks wonder :)

@jerryvolpini7987 2 года назад

Excellent video! I liked how you broke this down and went through all the steps and explained the techniques. Like you, I have always found the airbrush a great way to paint figures. People need to be less 'hung up' on what people say or think and just do what feels natural and stick with techniques they know and already use 👍

First, i am a figure painter that has been watching youre stuff for a few years now. So tip for applying bodyhair, use thin paint and make thin small lines in the same direction
