[@allenxia8977]

2 mins into the video and I'm certain this guy really WANTED me to learn from the bottom of his heart.

[@chrisdowell5976]

Erm... To all the listeners - I'm that Chris 😂 and yes, I'm perfectly aware that's a mental block. I promise I'll attend Tommy's workshop! Until then, your video allowed me to find the guts to start 😉 very well done as usual!

[@dioramadevil]

👌

[@natalebabbo-gunplaanddioramas]

Very nice, detailed and precise explanation. Faces are undoubtedly the most difficult parts to paint in a mini. Your video does an excellent job explaining it using acrylic colors (whom are the colors I prefer!). Thank you!

[@dioramadevil]

Thankyou... more of this coming. Those tutorials are always good for viewers.

[@landeny65]

This has changed the game for how I paint. Thanks man

[@dioramadevil]

A pleasure. But, this is old... There are new tutorials...

I like it knowledge is power,, i was assuming my paint was to thin and was adding more,, now i know, Im loving the cat lol,,,,Thanks for the tips my friend.

[@dioramadevil]

When you think thats thin enough, thin it even more... 😂

[@dogforeyals]

I have several figures in my stash and really afraid to paint them. I'll try your tutorial... thank you for sharing your talent!!

Very helpful! thanks a lot! Definately need lots of practice over here!

[@dioramadevil]

Glad to hear that... ❤️ Just practice... I also have new tutorials about faces...

[@illanholgado7662]

Probably one of the best tutorials on this topic I've seen. You explain all the steps very well, and the paint-thinner ratios for each step is very clear, which I think it's essential. Make sure I'll try your tricks!

[@dioramadevil]

Those type of comments make me feel, I am on the right path. Thankyou...

[@illanholgado7662]

@@dioramadevil of course you are! Many people do tutorials, and they show amazing skills, but sometimes they take some things for granted, so they forget to explain the basics... That's why I love your tutorials, you never forget the basics!

[@zuxiaolong]

Hi may i ask what is PDR thinner that in this video you used ? Thank you so much

[@dioramadevil]

It is not thinner. It is paint drying rettarder. A kind of gel liquid.

[@cesar278275]

I love your cat

[@dioramadevil]

Me too... 😂👌

[@NZ-PUNISHA]

How do you attach the heads to the bamboo stick? Thank you

[@dioramadevil]

Hey there. The "bamboo stick" is actualy a toothpick. Pick the round ones. Drill a 0.6 mm hole in the neck (few mm will do the job), then cut of the verry tip of the toothpick in order to meet the hole in the neck (usualy the tip is to small) and them push it in. Only friction. But you have to "nail" the amount of toothpick to cut off exactly. After some practice you will have no problems at all.

[@7979phantom]

A Bigganer modular or an expart that can paint Figeuts perfectly can do it with any model.

[@dioramadevil]

Sorry, I didnt understand...

[@soureel]

would these same techniques work with 1/16 scale figures?

[@dioramadevil]

Hmmm. Roughly yes. But if you want a good result, you should roughly dubble the ammount of shades and passes... It is bigger so evrything will be visible...

[@lmmodellismomilitare]

Bravo! Sempre molto interessante ed ottimo questo tutorial! Per le riprese come lavori? Sto pensando di migliorare la mia postazione di lavoro/ripresa e vorrei prendere un cavalletto da tavolo

Grazie caro... Dammi qualche altro contatto, tipo fb o instagram, cosi parliamo con calma. Ti dico tutto volentieri, ma non aspettarti tanto 😀

[@robertgraham1511]

I would like to ask can I use plastic figurine heads to learn how to paint flesh tones?

[@dioramadevil]

Ofcourse you can. But.... The better the face is sculpted than easyer is to paint it. And you need good faces if you want to learn, trust me (me too). Go for Dragom, Miniart, modern Tamiya. Usualy those resin heads are so much better and easyer to paint.

[@panzerfuxx1308]

Very nice guide! Didn't you paint the eyes?

[@dioramadevil]

Not that time... :D Thankyou...

[@thierrychango7268]

Hello ! First of all i would like to thanks you for all those vidéos ! It us such a source of inspiration tobme and it make me progress a lot ! Thanks ! I have a question : you put 3 base color layer to start...what Time IS necessary to wait between those base layers ?

[@dioramadevil]

Hi... First of all thank you, big time. Second, you should wait for the layer to dry. If you are doind 3 or 4 heads at once, the first will be surely dry when you finish the last one. If you are doing just one, take a hair dryer and give it a blow. We are talking minutes anyway. IF you really like my "menthorship" I would invite you to my Patreon page. The guys that joined said that thei are getting a 5 star treatment... :D

What is the silicone brush you're use to dry highlight layers? Thanks in advance.

Many thanks. Aready found and had ordered them.

​@@dioramadevil and one more question, that is not clear form the video - what did you do with this silicone brush? Did you just removed extra paint from the figure's face ? Regards
