This video is squarely aimed at those that would like to learn how to build, convert, paint and base there first 1/35 Tamiya military figure set.
An Elite Team
From the second half of 1944, the M1943 field jacket replaced the M1941, which had been used through most of the early U.S. involvement in WWII; simultaneously, double buckle boots were also introduced. A soldier would typically carry a canteen, ammunition pouch, scope, poncho and more, with the average infantry equipped with a firearm such as the M1 Garand, BAR M1918A2 or a M1A1 sub-machine gun. Officers wielded an M1 carbine. Scout teams would carry a handy talkie radio. This set recreates an infantry scout team of five, which will make a superb project by itself, and can of course be used in a diorama or vignette.
About the Model
★This is a 1/35 scale figure assembly kit. ★Parts recreate soldiers from the second half of 1944, wearing the M1943 field jacket: a commanding officer with M1 carbine surveys the scene, two standing soldiers have an M1 Garand and BAR respectively, a further soldier kneels with the stock of his M1 on the ground, and one soldier is pictured with the handy talkie. ★Comes with a wide range of crisply molded small arms. ★Decals are included for recreation of various rank insignia

Hey man, I'm 63 and I've been doing this since the early 1970's! I had cataract surgery done three years ago when I had a big cataract in my right eye and couldn't build at all. After my surgery I can see like a twenty yearold again! I do need reading glasses and who doesn't after fourty but I can still do figures and dios!

Great video. The beauty of uniforms is that they change colour over time. They're only their "true" colour for a few weeks. Eventually they fade. Therefore, all five of those soldiers would've had a different colour uniform, and even their pants would've been a slightly different colour from their jacket. You could've chosen almost any combination of the colours you tested and it would've looked authentic.

big thanks ! agreed about the colours of uniforms fading.
Fantastic enjoyed this video. I used to assemble Tamiya in 70s & 80s. 👌🇦🇺
That is a great set and the figures are top notch. I have them planned with 3 other figures for a diorama where they are watching one of their comrades getting attended to by a medic while one is giving a report to their commander.

Tamiya figures have come a long long way. you have great figure skill
Another great tutorial mate! Tamiya has finally reached a pinnacle of plastic injection moulding that surpasses Dragon and Miniart kits. Has to be one of the best kits that I’ve assembled. They have been very clever to hide the sprue attachment points and provide the recessed personal equipment areas which make it more realistic. Great work and thanks for sharing your work again ❤😊

This hobby really saved my life as I was in a industrial logging accident and my physical health is poor. I found this hobby and have built an incredible workshop . I spend hours a day in there but my wife tells me not to ignor life stuff totally. I am gratefull my wife hung in there because it was two long years of recovery. Thank You again for making this video.We are so lucky there is youtube today...CHEERS FROM CANADA@@TheBearScaleModels
What you do is you get the thin masking tape slice a small section of it about as thick as the straps on the figure paint it the right colour for the strap and use super glue to fix to rifles
Awesome mate, keep up the great work! 👍

Great video, very thorough. You might have skipped over the spraying the base layer a bit too quick, for a moment I thought you were airbrushing straight onto the raw plastic. Video shows what can be achieved with good injection moulding and solid painting skills!
thanks for taking time to do the tutorial.. really appreciate it and i learn alot too
A good build and paint video, Mark. Your result with these Tamiya figures is more than well. Very nice figures after your great paintwork. Greetings and a some good Easter days. Joachim

Dear Sir, a very good guide to painting figures, but in order for it to be useful for beginner modellers and others, the paint numbers should be shown precisely or described on the screen, otherwise no one will use it. Regards.
thank you so much for this video. start of 2021 i got into modelling. I stopped at end of 2021 as i was frustrated with my prgress, didn’t understand much and my figurines looked like shit. this vid motivates me to get back in! thx so much great vid

Hi, these figures are amazing! I bought one set, but I'm a beginner :( Which glue did you use for assemble the pieces?
If you cut the strips on the tap properly you should be able to make three to four straps you then just need to cut them to the right length to make the rifle straps give it a try with an old broken model to get it right
Very nice 👍🏻

Excellent how to video. Thank you. Do you have any suggestions on what material to use to fill gaps between the pieces, such as between the arm and the torso? I see you approached it by simply filling it with glue, but in my experience that can be messy and melt some of the details. Any other methods or products you like for gap filling?
@TheBearScaleModels
6 ай бұрын
Correct I use pressure and the melted plastic fills the gap... this is the best method I have found as opposed to using filler. But if you prefer filler any putty will work... Mr dissolved putty is one of the best for small gaps.
Brilliant video, very helpful. One question, the schematic drawing of the face shading where did you say that was from?

Bear, great video! Earned you a like and a sub. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work. If I may offer one point of interest, the rank chevrons are a wee bit too high on the jackets. They should be about 1/2 way between the shoulder and the elbow. Sort of midway. I know it's nit-picking, but I offer the suggestion with all due respect to your artistic craft.

Hi Robert big thanks for joining and useful feedback is 100% appreciated here. I had some difficulty finding m1943 with rank chevrons but they were indeed displayed on combat jackets. Then of course when it came to fit them on I totally forgot about you mention ! We wore them exactly the same with space on top of shoulder for divisional patch. Thanks again !

Makes me so sad that the rank chevron decals supplied are the wrong color. The paint is phenomenal, and the yellow chevron instead of the light khaki on blue
hello... i am new to your channel.. i have never seen figure models until i joined this modeling community...i do have a question... wouldn't it be easier to paint all the details before applying them?? clever way to do the rifle straps...very nice job.. thx for sharing.. vinny

Hi Vinny.. well my advice is to get practice painting details in-situ. Even if packs are painted separately you still need to paint the belts and uniform as part of the figure.

No need to wash anything just make sure no dust before spraying primer.

Seems very unlikely we will see these new style figure sets depicting anything other than German and US ww2 troops. Last 5 releases have been ww2 Germany
Greatl pity they are stuck on 1/35 scale figures, the resin ones out of China are poor copy fakes.
Afther all those years Tamiya still can not make decent figurines 😖😖🤦♂🤦♂
Nice tutorial!
I’ve also thought of something else cutting the masking tape thin enough and placing them over the straps on the models it would be very fidgety and time consuming be imagine how good it would look lm gonna be building some German soliders in the future mite give it a try

Your better of making the slings from the very thin masking tape stronger and looks more real cause the tape is flat
So your doing it already
Never get my head round why people attach equipment before painting, so much easier to paint equipment before sticking to the figure..
