Hello everyone! In today's video, I'll be showing you my grueling process of creating customizations and weathering on a 1/6 scale figure and diorama, called "Battle of Hue." To build this figure, I used a combination of loose parts from various brands such as Hot Toys, Soldier Story, Dragon, DiD, ACE, and Toy Soldier. The video tutorial is divided into two episodes, so make sure to check it out! I hope you enjoy it! Cheers!

🇻🇳 The Battle of Huế, also known as the Siege of Huế, was a major battle of the Vietnam War that took place during the Tet Offensive, in 1968. It was fought between the North Vietnamese Army and the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN), supported by the United States, for control of Huế, a city in central Vietnam. The battle lasted for over a month and resulted in a North Vietnamese victory, but at a high cost to both sides. The fighting was some of the most intense of the war, and large parts of the city were destroyed.
◉ what is Weathering in the miniature figure?
Weathering for military figures refers to the process of adding realistic details and effects to miniature figures that depict soldiers or military vehicles. This can include things like battle damage, dirt, mud, and other elements that would be found on a real-life military object that has been used in combat or on the field. Weathering is often used to make the figures look more lifelike and to enhance the overall appearance of a model or diorama. It is also used in historical reenactments, to make the figures look more genuine and accurate.

I appreciate your kind words, mate! Yes, I can make something with a multicam camouflage. 👍Actually, I've been preparing my next project using a woodland camouflage, similar to that of special forces ODA in Afghanistan. Next, I'll make another modern soldier with a multicam pattern. Keep watching 👊

can I ask, what does the mink oil do? does it protect the weathering effects or just to keep the fabric pliable?

Hello mate! the mink oil is great for getting clothes looking grimy, dirty and stained or something like that. Super useful 😉

Totally agree with you. I got frustrated about these flake off. Lately, the only manufacturer doing a good job on leather boots is DID. I hope they make more Vietnam figures.👍🏻
What type of lacquer or liquid are you using on the boots @ 10:08 time stamp?
