Hallo, can you please do the fade in of the sound effect you use on lower volume? I have bad hearing and need to set the audio high to hear you speak, but then the audio effect is incredibly loud. I hope you can do that in the future, vielen dank! Your modeling is really great.

[@biberhunter_scale_models]

Hi, yes you are right, the sound is bad and my editing skills weren't much at this time. My newest figure painting video has better sound, maybe give it a look🙏 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWmxk6ism9RrhJI Thanks a lot🙏

Congrats. Very good paint work. Diorama 5 stars 👌🏾. I like the “sad moment” when you must dirty the boots (I feel the same when I dirty the figure). We spend a lot of hours painting And then we dirty every thing. Congrats one more time 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾👌🏾

Thank you very much 🙏 yes I always feel discomfort when dirty them, they look so sharp and crispy when clean, but that's just not realistic 😅 especially when placed in a natural scene, not in a city diorama f.e.

I am an oil painter converting to acrylics. Total new world

[@biberhunter_scale_models]

It is. For me oils are easier to blend and build up in layers, acrylics are a bit more tricky here. But they are faster, so I prefer them for 1/35 figures.

Thank you very much for posting this. I've watched this video many times and I feel ready to change some of the techniques I'd previously attempted but which left me still looking for something better. Your relaxed presentation coupled with your expertise has really inspired me, so thank you very much. May I ask if you deliberately choose a mix of paint brands for a specific purpose or is it simply the convenience of colours you have to hand?

[@biberhunter_scale_models]

Thanks a lot for your kind words, really happy to hear and gives motivation to continue 😊🙏 happy to hear that you learned a few things from my video. I usually prefer Tamiya paints for airbrushing and Vallejo Model Colour for brush painting. But if I don't have for example a matching Tamiya colour for airbrush I use anything I have and so on.

[@maximo1582]

Hi! I'm Massimo. A piece of information: in the videos, you show the percentages of color that you use to paint the uniforms. How do you calculate the percentages? With the number of drops of each single color? Thanks and I hope you'll answer me soon... Massimo

[@biberhunter_scale_models]

@@maximo1582 yes I measure the percentage with the used drops. As each mix is different this is only a circa amount, so it's not written in stone.

Very good watching and learning experience. Nice pace of narration and good music, and excellent videoing. You are a brave man painting the eyes last… hope to see more 1/35 figures from you. Maybe you could try some Tamiya, Master Box or Miniart figures which lack the definition of resin and are more challenging to see how your technique works, which I am confident it does… ah, just saw your Dragon German paratroopers 😊

[@biberhunter_scale_models]

Thank you very much, happy to hear you like the figures and video🙏 painting the eyes last is helpfull to get a better feeling for the viewing direction of the figure, and with oil paints there can't go wrong much. They are easily to remove. Happy you found the German paratroopers video. I will start with a diorama soon with several figures from kits like Miniart, MB and Tamiya, so this will be way more challenging again😅

Guten Morgen, erst einmal großes Lob für deine Arbeit 👌🏻👍🏻. Eine Frage?!!?: Lässt Du bei der Gesichtsbemalung die einzelnen Farben durchtrocknen bevor du die nächste aufbringst oder arbeitest du nass in nass das die sich auf der Oberfläche mischen bzw. in einander übergehen?

[@biberhunter_scale_models]

Guten Morgen. Vielen Dank für dein Lob🙏 Zu deiner Frage, mal so mal so😅 es kommt drauf an was für einen Effekt ich haben möchte, um Highlights und Schatten in die anderen Töne zu blenden mache ich es häufig nass in nass. Dann nehme ich auch kein Wasser zum verdünnen sondern Retarder, damit die Farbe länger nass bleibt und nicht so schnell mit harten Kanten trocknet. Für mehr Kontrast oder zum hervorheben einzelner Bereiche kann es aber genauso gewollt sein, dann lasse ich die Farbe trocknen. Ist vielleicht auch immer etwas Geschmackssache was man bevorzugt und wie es werden soll. Ich hoffe das hilft dir😅

Nice job on the figures. They look great. I would spend more time on the landscaping by airbrushing the groundwork, dirt, and vegetation to get more subtle variations and muted coloring to not have the colors so bright that they overtake the figures on the display. More light and shadow coloring would be helpful here. Also, by doing this, you can tie the figures into the landscape better to make the display feel more cohesive.

[@biberhunter_scale_models]

Thank you🙏😊 to the vignette, I made exactly these steps to get the colours that vivid, I like it and I think I brings some nice and fresh colours. The figures getting overtaken is to me part of the thing as they are as soldiers not supposed to stand out but to melt into the surrounding. I made a video to the vignette too where you can see the steps I made. But thank you for your thoughts🙏👍

[@roitzur4577]

what is your acrylic choice for the wood parts before the oil wash? and what is the choice for the metal effect? thanks

Hi, it's all shown in the video, old wood for wooden part, and gun metal for metal👌

[@evangeloskletsas1425]

First of all I must say that your work is inspiring and I am following it step by step. I have one question: When it comes to outlining, do you use only retarder to dilute the paint? Or do you also use water or flow improver? And also, how much retarder, what ratio? Thank you in advance for your help.

[@biberhunter_scale_models]

Thanks a lot for your kind words, happy you like my work. For outlining I use only retarder, so the paint keeps workable longer and I can make corrections if needed. Of course you can use water or flow improver, but then the time to react ist shorter. Thinning ratio I would guess retarder 3 parts, paint 1. But that is often done by feeling and no law.

Hi again, after you glued the heads on, what was the spray can you used and why ? Thank you

[@biberhunter_scale_models]

Hi, this is activator spray. It let's super glue dry immediately, so you don't have to hold the pieces in position for long. Very useful 👌
