Oh wow that's pretty awesome. !

When I do a figure, I end up doing a LOT of blending as it helps get the opacity correct. i also find that as I get older, I don't like messing with 1/32 or 1/35 figures, I prefer to work with the 1/16 subjects now. Over the past year, I have adopted most of the Night Shift channel method of figure painting, it just works well for me. Black primer, then followed by a coat of white, then creating a filter for your base color, applying multiple layers, then work with the highlights and shadows, blend, blend, blend.

I used to do the zenithal highlight method, but as time went on I found it more organic to mix the shades than rely on black and white. Sometimes lightening or darkening a colour benefits from a colour shift that doesn't happen that way. That being said, there are Enough methods for everyone to use and experiment with.

Think you have cracked it with this one James, just come at the right time for me too. Nice one mate, well done👍

Damn good painting of the figures and considering that they are not resin figures. Gecko Models already has some really good plastic figures in its range

I was a little disspointed with the quality on these, for a modern tool they seemed a little soft, but it can be sorted with some scraping and careful painting.

Fantastic painting!

Fantastic video/tutorial James. Just what I needed as I’m about to paint some figures. Shame that even with this video to guide me my figures will probably end up looking crap! 😢😂😂

Those figures look really good. At the moment I am doing some modern UK tank crew and I am finding the four colour camo uniform a real pain to paint and get to look right.

Camo is something I have yet to tackle. It's a bit daunting. Something for the future maybe

Great job! I'm going to have to give your method a try.

Fabulous work and wonderful video. Thanks for sharing your immense skills. How long do you leave between coats?

@lpjmodels

Ай бұрын

Thanks for watching ! Usually until its touch dry. I will start a figure and finish it in 1 session sometimes

Another great tutorial. The one thing that never seems to be correct to me (at least in 1/35 scale) is the depiction of fingers, they are either modelled as "welded together" or with a much too pronounced shadow line. Looking at how hands behave, I've yet to see any modelling company give a really good representation of how the most mobile part of the human anatomy behaves...a shame since you can now get super accurate machine guns, periscope sights, ammo rounds etc.

That's a good point Chris, some of the 3d figures I have seen are better in this regard.

Great video! Can you tell us what the drying time is between coats when painting the face highlights?

@lpjmodels

Thanks ! Usually about 10 minutes, or less if they are visibly dry

Nice background music too 👍🇦🇺👍
