To develop my fine painting skills, I started with the little green army men you get at the grocery store for kids. I don’t have the proper paints yet so I used Testers enamel paint from my model kits. Next week I get my resin 3d printer , next month, I get the proper paint set. All this in preparation to painting real model miniatures.

In case you were wondering: Gaiter gā′tər A heavy cloth or leather covering for the leg extending from the instep to the ankle or knee.

@warpaint9385 8 лет назад

The magnetic transport system is a great idea. Also love your work, the vehicles look awesome.

@helgan35 10 лет назад

It's always good to practice the basics, it helps to keep our more "advanced" skills nice and sharp. Thanks for yet another excellent tutorial! Happy modelling holidays guys :)

@billardfriend1563 3 года назад

Great job. I used to paint and play 15mm ancients when I was younger and with the Covid mess I am going to start painting again, thanks for the inspiration and ideas.

@HeadHunterSix 3 года назад

Thanks for this video. I'm just getting into Flames of War so this is still relevant and helpful. I hope you and Marvin are well.

@philRminiatures 5 лет назад

Amazing and most realistic work on the base...Inspriring!

@thedonnyman1 10 лет назад

you make it look so easy Brilliant work,thanks mark from the uk..

@mightylonesome9426 5 лет назад

I kept the brushes that came in my wife's cosmetics. There's a wide range of sizes from extremely fine to wide. For the most part they seem to be well made with little to no shedding. Good detail brushes and work well with all types of paint.

@dunitagan 10 лет назад

Awesome video !! Just found you today and the subject matter is just what I have been looking for. Thanks for taking the time to make these video's for us guy's that what to learn how to produce more realistic models.

@athilith 10 лет назад

The minis in the last tray looked so good. Good vid mate. Cheers, Tristan.

I really helpful video I've never done cluster bases before so it was great to pick up some techniques I espically liked the little detail with bulking out the glue points with super glue

@danielbothwell790 8 лет назад

@MrJossher700 4 года назад

Awesome! The technical name for the color for U.S. WWII helmets is actually Olive Drab. Vallejo has it.

@taramilton8695 3 года назад

thanks for a great lesson!

@wcwindom56 9 лет назад

some nice instructions. love your clinics. on holding figures (i paint 1/72 scale mostly) I mount them on paint mixer sticks that Lowes actually gives me for free; and when mounting i leave about an inch or so at one end so that when I am working on them I have room to hold hte stick without getting spray primer or sealer on me and also can hold the stick without touching the figures.

@WARdROBEPlaysWWII 5 лет назад

Love the storage

@wcwindom56 9 лет назад

I also us Aleens tacky glue to hold figures on the wood. takes a little longer to dry but very easy to just pop the figures off when finished.

@afghosting8772 5 лет назад

Amazing!!!

@e-4airman124 7 лет назад

I read below and found you use a #2 brush. Great job.

@macredbeard 9 лет назад

Amazing, all I want to do now is to go to my table and make yet another start on my unfinished Panzergreadier platoon. thanks for this inspirational video.

@wrath2612 10 лет назад

Rly glad to gave come across this vid. :-) (thanx) I have been thinking of getting into WWII figs for some time now, so this is a big help :-) (So many questions not enough time ) lol :-\

@ekibarthenid 7 лет назад

Certainly right about these figures looking more realistic and proportioned even with a basic paint over.. the detailed ones still look like a Pixar cast. ;)

@andrewpantaleon6995 8 лет назад

What paint brush do you recommend to paint flames of war infantry?

@nighthawkdutchchameleon9815 6 лет назад

How many people does 1 stand represent? And how do you solf casualties? You take away a entire base?

@hannyagargola8059 7 лет назад

Can you do a video on painting skeleton Warriors and undead?

@Sltarfish 5 лет назад

I do believe the "spats" were called gaiters.

@SFTaYZa 5 лет назад

Yes

@kolyayerg1118 7 лет назад

Man you must do one on miniatures from the USSR. Also i love your vids man i aspire to be you.

@Mistrblank 10 лет назад

What airbrush do you use to prime?

@e-4airman124 7 лет назад

What size of brush do you use?

@kethme3068 3 года назад

Even if the video is a bit older, I have a question. What kind of magnets did you put on the underside of the infantry base? 1 mm thick?

@patrickfrinker 10 лет назад

The boot covers or Spats are called "Leggings"

@hivefleet1 3 года назад

Did you combine the Plastic Soldier models with Battlefront models? They work OK?

@davidcannane795 9 лет назад

Excellent video. What size brushes did you use for the different phases of your work?

@ThePaintingClinic 9 лет назад

David Cannane It's all with a #2.

@hamm6035 5 лет назад

Your "spats" were called gaiters by most I believe.

@kog1609 6 лет назад

How would you modify this for the pacific theater? I’ll be using vallejo colors. Thanks for the help! This is awesome for me as a beginner.

@ThePaintingClinic 6 лет назад

No idea. I haven't done Pacific theater.

@bambadalam91 3 года назад

I love you

@gaberoy783 7 лет назад

I highly recommend a game just like flames of war called bolt action. If you are that good at painting 15mm miniatures then you Would be great at 28mm bolt action

@sirrathersplendid4825 6 лет назад

They are not separate games, but merely different rule systems. If you look around there are literally dozens of such systems for playing with the same miniatures. Both Blot Action and Flames of War are really for beginners, and don't give a very realistic interpretation of the experience of war. For those wanting something with more umph, try Crossfire or Chain of Command.

@snackelwolf4462 5 лет назад

Excellent advice. Do you recommend using Agrax Earthshade instead now instead of the Army Painter, or do you suggest sticking with AP for 15's (even after your other video)?

@ThePaintingClinic 5 лет назад

If those are my only two choices I'd use the GW stuff.

@snackelwolf4462 5 лет назад

@@ThePaintingClinic I have AP Quickshade Strong Tone tin as well. Thanks for your thoughts.

@andriskaratson94 10 лет назад

Holy hannah!! O.O Where did you get the black car? (in the third box, next to the arty) It looks awesome :)

@ThePaintingClinic 10 лет назад

I think it's from Peter Pig. Don't recall the name.

@andriskaratson94 10 лет назад

ThePaintingClinic Thanks! Found it :)

@corkscrew4585 8 лет назад

How do you use an air brush, cause im thinking about getting one and can you paint these with ONLY a brush?

@ThePaintingClinic 8 лет назад

+Aleksei Krasnov Alesnarovich Except for the base coat, I did only paint these with a brush.

@kevinblack8071 10 лет назад

can you do Russian infantry

@nathannguyen7960 9 лет назад

Are most of the basing materials from Brookhurst Hobbies or bought online?

@ThePaintingClinic 9 лет назад

Hobby Dump Mostly from Brookhurst and occasionally from nature.

@joshwarwick271 6 лет назад

What are your bases called and were do you get them from??

@ThePaintingClinic 6 лет назад

They are from Plastic Soldier Company.

@donaldleggett 10 лет назад

Here's a silly question. Where do you get the small pieces of sheet metal?

@pnkssbtz 10 лет назад

You can go to home depot and in the hardware aisle should be "metal roof shingles" that come in various sizes and are very thin and able to be cut with metal shears / snips. Or, you can go to a hobby store that cares the metal squares pre-cut specifically for magnetizing miniature bases.

@ThePaintingClinic 10 лет назад

pnkssbtz That's the DIY method, but these are actually pre-cut from a company called Wargames Accessories.
