Army Men, Painting Tutorial, WW2 German Soldier, Vintage Airfix Toy

damngoodbrand.com
In this video I demonstrate how to paint a plastic army man to look more realistic. This particular toy is a grey/gray plastic WW2 German Infantry soldier by Airfix.
I found it difficult to record the necessary audio for this video and decided to go with text overlays instead.
Thanks for watching!

    These old Airfix plastics really paint up well …as with all thin parts of plastics the rifle barrel is a bit bent …but you’ve made a good job on him ….great for practice !

    Good paintwork. One suggestion. German canteens are grey cup on top and brown jug on bottom. And has a black strap.

    I had this set as a boy. I never painted them. Great to see one painted up. Brilliant job! Looks very realistic.

    Hey, thanks so much for the kind comment. I go back and forth between this silent style and the voiceover. I’m not really sure if either is better tbh.

    Salut ! Merci beaucoup pour ton gentil commentaire. La gamme Airfix est amusante à peindre comme pratique et difficile à maîtriser.

    I use a mix of Kolinsky sable hair and synthetic brushes. I started out practicing with synthetic because they’re a few bucks each at Hobby Lobby. The sable hair brushes start at $15 each and will last a lot longer with proper cleaning and care.
