Painting German Splittertarnmuster Camo… Made Easy! | Scale Modeling Tutorial
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video, we'll learn a simple & effective method to paint up one of the most-commonly used camouflage patterns employed by the German military in WWII: Splittertarnmuster.
Splittertarnmuster, also known as Splittertarn or Splittermuster, translates roughly to "Splinter Pattern." First proposed for use by the German army way back in 1931, Splittertarnmuster equipment was fielded with nearly every regular Wehrmacht unit during the war in the form of camouflage zeltbahn shelter quarters. These highly-utilitarian pieces of kit could be fastened together to create a simple waterproof poncho, a style that you often see in archival photographs from the conflict.
Today, we'll be painting up that very use of the Splittertarnmuster Zeltbahn on one of these Tamiya 1/35 scale late-war German infantry figures.

Matte varnish gives it the perfect finish, it looks so much better dulled down, I'll be giving this a try on a couple of German figures I have waiting to be painted. Really nice video thank you

Great! Glad to hear it was helpful - thanks!
For the rain drop lines, you could probably utilize a super fine marker pen (I know it works great on 28mm figures for eyes) - the difference between black and the german camo dark green probably wouldn't be noticeable.
Really enjoying your figure painting tutorials - many thanks!

Awesome! So glad to hear it!
I’m going to try this. Usually the figures just end up in a labeled bag unassembled.

Ah perfect!!!
Thanks 👍
Great video which it's important to remember Camo is supposed to be random and errors do exist so makes an exact replica is less realistic then doing it from memory and a refernce.
Thank God, I just started this kit. 😂

Haha awesome! Enjoy - it's a good one.
Thanks for the video, I had asked a month or two ago so appreciate it very much
Might be hard to see, but the splinter goes over all the colors, in authentic Splittertarnmuster. Each color is a separate print, and the last one are the "rain splinters"
What did the Allied forces call the German army as it retreated at the end of WWII? A receding herr line.
Beautiful work! What brushes are you using?
What color did you paint the helmet looks awesome as heck!
If you want to do this pattern on 28mm figures, a sharp toothpick is your best friend.
Great video, awsome job! I have also a question about jacket, is it really warm because should be woolen padded ? Thanks
What kind of brushes do you use?
Are you going to paint the other versions at some time?
I am having trouble finding paints in my local area. Besides Amazon, where do you purchase your paints? Shipping 💲 are a killer 😮 Thanks for any help.
Hi Hank, what do you recommend? a primer from a can like the Vallejo black primer spray, or a primer used with an airbrush? In addition, another question that has nothing to do with this video, what color do you use for your Sherman tanks? Thanks in advance and keep up the good work making super interesting videos
What brush are you using? Is there a specific brush set you have or what size would it be?

Shouldn’t be to hard to replicate for 1/16 figures
Very good work, but i cant with the eyes in that scale. I see all eyes in that scale horribles.
