Thanks for sharing, I've always had trouble with figure painting, but when I do Dioramas they need to look good, so I definitely will put your steps into play with my figurines. Great Job BTW! Looks great!!!

Thanks Ty. Yes there are many different tones for uniform grey - I used AK Figure German Grey Uniform Light for this one.

@@MrTigMilitaryModels the colour is field grey, all your reference images show it to be more green than the grey blue you have? The figure represents an officer, they had access to better quality uniforms than the enlisted men whose uniforms really did vary as the war went on.
I am having hard time buying russian models due to what's happening in Ukraine... but the paintjob is really impressive . Subscribed.

Hi John, thanks! That’s a great Tamiya figure. I’m doing a 1/35 diorama with a Rommel figure that could help..
Great music....where's it from?

Thank you Raffael, appreciate your positive feedback! The paper is baking paper, also called parchment paper (comes in a roll and used for oven cooking - from supermarket)
heb je evt een tip voor de kleuren die ik het best kan gebruiken voor een Duitse tank crew?

German tank crew or panzer crew uniforms were often black or tones of black/dark grey, but their uniform colours also depend on the year, the climate (like winter uniforms such as white tone jackets or reversible jackets) and if they were WSS (they often had access to better and more varied camouflage uniforms, like pea dot pattern). I think painting camouflage can be harder and take more time, and generally you need a colour photo to copy it from. If you look up ‘panzer crew uniforms’ the images might give you some help. You can also see some examples in my latest KZread video that has some German tank figures called “Get Ready for the next battle resin diorama WW2 Sturmgeschutz IV tank Sd. Kfz. 167 Normandy 1/35” or the German crew in winter uniform on “Realistic diorama Tamiya German Flak Bastogne WW2 1:35 full build”. Many thanks!
Hey, I heb zelf al heel wat Duitse tanks in elkaar gezet incl wethering enzo maar nog nooit 1 figuurtje geverfd(bewaar ze wel allemaal) misschien toch maar eens een poging gaan maken mbv je video.Thnx

Thanks for watching & hope some of the painting tips help. I think a figure or two adds to most model dioramas.

Hi I use Tamiya Modeling Brush ProII. Item 87172 (ultra fine) and Tamiya Modeling Brush HG. Item 87154 (extra fine). They are expensive but I find you can’t get fine detail painting without them. Thanks

@MrTigMilitaryModels how do you clean these brushes to maintain their integrity? I must be doing the cleaning too harshly. Recommendations?

hi i use General Pencil The Master’s brush cleaner & preserver, it’s a soap for washing brushes (from Amazon)
No where in this video could I see what brand or type of blue he used for the base. What was the hurry?
