1/72 - WW2 British Airborne Tutorial - Start to Finish! - AB Figures

[@thoreschwanke7511]

Thank you very much for this Tutorial. I´m from Germany and finished now my first British Para. I'm delighted with the result.

[@paintingpanzers]

Guten Tag! You're so welcome my friend 🙌 I'm so glad you found this tutorial useful. If you get time, send me some pictures of how they came out 🙌

[@paintingpanzers]

Happy New Year everyone, I hope 2022 has been good and 2023 is even better :D Let me know what AB figures you'd like to see next!

[@thoreschwanke7511]

I would like to see a Standart Fieldgrey Wehrmacht Uniform.

[@paintingpanzers]

@thoreschwanke7511 it's coming buddy, very soon! I cover the basics of how I paint field grey in my Fallschirmjager Tutorial 😁

[@HenriGP]

Absolutely phenomenal work! I've just finished some British Ab figures, and I agree that they are the best. personally, I have started going for shadow, mid-tone, and then highlight, with a glaze to then tie it all together, if needed but I may return to painting, washing, and then highlighting again after watching this! Keep up the excellent work, I look forward to your next video 😊

[@paintingpanzers]

WOW thank you buddy 🙌 🙌 they really are such amazing figures. I certainly think either way works fine and I'd love to see how your paras have painted up ☺️ if you do use this guide, be sure to message me with your results 👍

[@HenriGP]

@@paintingpanzers They're just standard Infantry, rather than paras, but more than happy to send you a snap if you'd like? ☺

[@paintingpanzers]

@HenriGP absolutely mate, would love to see your work 👍

@@paintingpanzers thank you 🙏 I’m still learning and videos such as yours are fantastic and a great inspiration buddy keep up the great work

[@paintingpanzers]

@startlinewargaming2554 I appreciate it mate, your support means a lot 🙌

[@glenbrooks2269]

Yet another great easy to follow video , very well done

[@paintingpanzers]

Thanks a lot Glen, I really appreciate that 🙌 🙌

[@WargamingHistory]

Nuts I love it. I do like AB miniatures but most of my airborne are Britannia, Drew’s militia and SHQ and a few Simon’s soldiers and AB

[@paintingpanzers]

Haha thanks dude 🙌 I've had my eye on some of those models, how do they rate compared to AB? ☺️

[@WargamingHistory]

The Simon Soldiers compare very nicely, the Britannia are much bigger and Drew’s are now out of production. I like the shq for vehicles

[@mcreadyrj]

That's a great tutorial.

[@paintingpanzers]

Glad you liked it :) thank you!

[@MiniatureRealms]

Love these mate! (Finally catching up on KZbin).

[@paintingpanzers]

Fantastic mate, I'm glad you're all caught up 🤭 I appreciate the love too 😁

[@goforitpainting]

Looks cool. Thank you for sharing.

[@paintingpanzers]

Thank you buddy, I really appreciate that 🙏 I'll also check out your channel in the morning 😀

[@corrhall1]

excellent tutorial, thank you for sharing! if you are looking for requests as to future tutorials, i would love to see how you do german splinter pattern!

[@paintingpanzers]

Thanks dude, that means a lot 🙏 I'm currently working on the next two tutorials but the third will be splinter 😉 ... someone might have purchased some FJs after your request 😅

[@epone3488]

The pack pack is strange with the bag popping out It looks like a P37 which didnt have an adjustable gusset to protect it from the elements, just split compartments. Maybe its his mess bag?

[@paintingpanzers]

Yeah I'm not really sure to be honest but I'm not 100% clued up on all the equipment in use by the British Airborne.

[@ConstableGrey]

Which color would you paint the bare paratrooper helmets (without scrim)?

[@paintingpanzers]

Great question mate. I'd probably hit it with US Dark Green - Black Wash - US Dark Green and then US Dark Green/German Camo Beige 1:1 - drybrush 👍

[@PanzerSchule]

Thanks for the guide Kristian. You'll be up at 28mm before you know it!

[@paintingpanzers]

Thanks Frank 🙌 you're not wrong, 28mm is certainly on my radar 😉 even more so now after seeing your Roman army!!!

[@RAVENWING117]

what bases do use?

[@paintingpanzers]

Bolt Action (Warlord Games) plastic bases 😁

[@RAVENWING117]

@@paintingpanzers awesome thank you!

[@thekameleon9785]

AB figures are awesome. To bad they are so expensive

[@paintingpanzers]

They're a little bit more expensive but they're so worth the money IMO. I love painting them 😄
