Painting Miniature German Infantry Timelapse

[jamesbritton1]

hi thx for the video.

[Assass1nat3d]

what if they have a camo pattern? how do you highlight and shade that? or do you even do it at all?

[drawinggoku]

IS HE THE ONE THAT CAME WITH THE HORSE

[2paintminiatures]

@drawinggoku -Yup, you got that right.

[smallsnipe]

I paint the cheap plastic army men and they look pretty good, come soo my new channel WarincProductions, or just type in "how to paint plastic army men" it should be third from top

[Ihave3Modes]

how do you do the highlights

[2paintminiatures]

@Ihave3Modes -I used diluted acrylics for the highlights.Checkout the link in the description box for the full process.

[deleonfrancis60]

How do you do the eyes?

[F14Lolcat]

[flamingzombieguy]

[mediomen7]

sei veramente bravo+++++++

[2paintminiatures]

@mediomen7 -Ringrazio il mio amico.:)

[Thefuturelooksbright]

What a cool idea of showing us novices the many phases of painting a figure done easily.

[AceLockCo]

that music ruined it

[fishingtrashcan]

hey, i would like to know where you can get some 1/35 scale model figures,that are already painted.It would be highly appreciated if you would reply back.Thanks.

[2paintminiatures]

@fishingtrashcan - Check out King and Country miniatures and Figarti Miniatures mate.

[winstonzz]

@fishingtrashcan Well, if your interested I sell painted figure occasionally on ebay, many other people do also, my ID on ebay is daspanzerman, but like I said there are plenty of choices, there is also a company called Oryon, that sells metal 1/35 figures, they are pretty good, but in my opinion, lack detail, but I'm kind of anal about that, lol, I always make straps and lots of photo etched pieces, depends what your looking for. good luck bud!

[Xbox4lex]

You are realy good! :)

[antisumiala]

nice model,.i also busy with it,,lol

[TheEagleman67]

[bohemianh]

[2paintminiatures]

@bohemianh - Thanks. Another German miniature is coming up next.:)

[nachtschattenuser]

Very good now he is ready to get raped from 20 british soldiers!

[usnavysss]

why the gay music

[mellvins0059]

I dont get the song choice, that song is usually in a video about suicide or such. Is this supposed to be sad?

[PEDROCLASSIC]

Hmm just imagine the wehrmacht going into russia with this song

[sultanpuppy26]

what do you recomedn painting the k98 mauser and wat name brand tamyia,mr hobby or vallejo thx:)

[2paintminiatures]

@sultanpuppy26 -I would normally use Vallejo Model color-chocolate brown as the base and some yellow and tan color to to create the wood pattern.Metal parts are in black, grey and white as highlight.

[norwegianModelKid]

Nice!!!!

[jawjaw801]

[EvilKorbinDallas]

@2paintminiatures thank you heaps mate. (:

[mediomen7]

finalmente qualcosa di interessante.

grazie

[2paintminiatures]

Grazie per i Suoi commenti gentili. Io l'apprezzo realmente.;)

[ZakB1991]

very nicely done. wow.

i am currently painting 1/72 revell miniatures. how do you get the darker shadows on the clothing mate ?

[2paintminiatures]

Thanks. Just use a darker shade of the base color. Also apply a black wash for the seams in the clothing helps too.

[puppynamedsultan]

do u do ww1 germans if so are they different from this approach

[2paintminiatures]

I haven't painted WW1 Germans but the basis and basics of painting always applies to all models.

[puppynamedsultan]

how do u stop the paints from drying out when mixing??

[2paintminiatures]

For Vallejo acrylics there is a something called a retarder. When you apply this onto your paints, it would slow down the drying process. This is great when you mix of paints.

[BigAndTall666]

@puppynamedsultan use enamel or oil paints!

[Jasen156]

very nice work!

[2paintminiatures]

Thanks mate.

[IC7100]

nice work

[2paintminiatures]

Thnx!

[le1973]

Thanks a lot a great site!

[The40Kwarrior]

I have some nive WWII German Busts coming foor xmas so i'll hope over to your website and take a peek, i've only ever painted Fantasy/Sci-fi so it'll be a nice change. Again another nicely painted figure. :)

[2paintminiatures]

That's cool mate. I hope you enjoy painting the bust. German WW2 mini's are a top seller.They really make very nice display too. I'm still trying to find more to time to paint some more military mini's. I hope I can squeeze some here soon. :)

[brokencasket]

why do you prime with black? Just better to see details etc?

[2paintminiatures]

It's a matter of preference actually. The colour looks darker when you paint the model.

[MrGuardman]

ýou are very talented

[2paintminiatures]

Thanks mate. I'm glad that you like it;)

[armandonav]

You have inspired me to try my hand in painting miniatures again. Last time I did this was 20 years ago and I ended up leaving the figures unassembled because I just made a mess of them. Lack of talent? Maybe. Lack of technique? Definitely!

Thanks for sharing your experiences... saves us all a lot of time. I just went out and bought an 8 figure set for practice. I am just unsure about using superglue instead of tamiya cement as some modelers seem to favor lately. Any views there?

[2paintminiatures]

Thanks mate. The tamiya cement is more favourable for me now.The ultimate model glue for me is called Faller but it's very damn expensive. Take your time with the mini's, it'll definitely pay off. Happy modelling.;)

[christl301]

You are the type of person that really pisses me off, like you make it look really simple and the end product looks so amazing and I know if I go out and buy some 1/35 German soldiers mine will turn out like crap, but thanks for a great video.

[2paintminiatures]

Sorry I don't mean to. It's takes some discipline and practice but not impossible to achieve for anyone. Thanks, that was an interesting comment.;)

[christl301]

Just being truthful, most people who do not paint figures at the moment would find it hard to do work at your level first off, in saying that I am going to purchase some 1/35 soon and give it a go cheers for the insperation..

[digbycurrents]

Dat man keeped chandging culler. i downt lyke it. it make me scyred.

[ledsofrock]

thats awsome!!!!

[peterwilliamham]

5***** Awesome!!!

[Kriegfreak]

Top notch quality stuff :)

[undreadSP]

brilliant idea to do the timelapse and nice choice of soundtrack...takes me back to the 70s when as a teen i painted dozens (maybe close to 100 total) of tamiya figures, though never getting close to your masterful level. gave up models while at college but decades later miss it still. thanks!

[rezzorsicilio]

hey.. just wanna ask a lil coz i'm a newbie in this stuff.. how to actually paint these 1/35 guys? coz i screwed up my painting.. It wasn't perfect like yours.. i used small paint brush to paint.. is there any better way to color these guys or perhaps i really suck at painting?

[xXxSkiLarxXx]

awesome

[Mecha999x]

very awesome!! what colors!!

[olic1995]

is there a game/story to these miniatures or are they just like collectables? also where do you buy them+ what are they called?

[2paintminiatures]

This figure is by Tamiya and is used to recreate mini scenes n dioramas for display. U can get these at ur miniature hobby store or online hobbyshop. I use this type in military modelling competitions.;-)

[clayanimator]

are they small like 1:72 scale?

[2paintminiatures]

This figure is in 1:35 scale. I also collect 1:72 scale figures but i have yet to paint them.;-)

[lixuanpeng]

this is masterpiece, could you show us more detail or tips about how to paint in vedio?

[2paintminiatures]

Thanks! I'll put that up in my to do list. Now I'm trying to find some time to paint more military figures.

[paulstewartcrane]

Wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[timudema]

wow beautiful !!!

[a24218361]

what do you use for highlights?

i use an oil wash but it gives of a shine?

i have just started painting 1:35 scale tamiya german infantry. all tips and hints will be greatly recieved and appreciated.

[puppynamedsultan]

use black alwase as an under coat and dont go this into ur miniatures yet just work on the basics and as you progress it will become better

[Gott0300]

For highlights you can use either the basic color (field gray in this case) mixed with some white or, if you don't like mixing, some lighter color that matches, light olive green or light grey for example.

I recommend drybrushing it on very gently to not leave streaks of color, but there are other techniques as well, just try...

I use oil colors as well and when they shine too much I use matt clear varnish to get rid of it.

Lifecolor LC 27 leaves a really matt surface, but use sparingly!

[EvilKorbinDallas]

@Gott0300 ooo thank you (:

[Gott0300]

You are very welcome, mate.. :)

[ModelbuildingTANKS]

I'm impressed. 1/35 for me is pretty easy to paint, but it is a fiddly job.You did much better than me though :)

[justplainerica]

Incredible!! Even the eye color too! Very lifelike! Brilliant work! Erica :)

[WARzone4912]

and can u tell me wat paint i should use for the Australian Infantry 9Division "Desert Rats"

its ether dark yellow or flat earth plz reply

[2paintminiatures]

Check your inbox. I've sent you a message.;-)

[WARzone4912]

so do u just put the same bace color on with 1st 2nd shade cause im painting brit 8th army to look like Australian Infantry 9th Division "Desert Rats" should i use acrilic thinner and can u tell me if

[HolyJadeEmperor]

Cool! I always find getting the skin colours right the most difficult part.

[grandtheftauto4123]

this is amazing!

[HMLstudios]

Wow, great paint job that is amazing. I will have to show my brother this.

[Sweden80Here]

Good job ! Nice blending btw the high and lows on the clothes.

Looks like a typical dusty summer soldier.

I would add some losen paint and scratches on the helmet, exposing the steel underneath and maybe abit more contrast on the face, perhaps more rosie cheeks and some dark toned grey/blue to get a slight feeling of unshaved. Thanks for the upload :D

[2paintminiatures]

Thanks for the tips. Yes, I explain about rosy cheeks, 5oclock shadow etc on my free ebook for beginners at my website. Check it out;-)

[myhuxpo]

Excellent! Just one faultie.. The bottle cover shall be red-brown, not tan...

But everything else was just excellent! Good grief you're skilled!

[2paintminiatures]

I'll keep that in mind from now on. Thanks for pointing that out!.

[aapjeBOB0]

wow this mini looks very cool, good job!
