HOW to PAINT SOVIET, RUSSIAN WW2 INFANTRY FIGURES (1/35, Tamiya)

A nice, easy step-by-step tutorial about painting Russian or Soviet WW2 infantry figures. Entirely done in acrylic colors (acrylics). How do I do preshading? How do I choose the right colors or shades? Applying or painting the base color as a glaze. Preparing highlight and shadow mixes. How do I thin the acrylic paint properly? How and where do I apply highlights and shadows? Details painting, weapons painting, assembly figures... All this and much more!

Tnx, mate... Check out Patreon if you want.

Hi mate 🙋🏼‍♂️ Your figures look great, respect. And in my opinion it's not a bad thing if every uniform looks different. That gives the whole thing more realism. The figures on the tank look skillfully chosen. This will be a great result 👌👌

[@dioramadevil]

Tnx, mate... I am always for difference, but in the end they must still "belong togeather" in my oppinion... 😀❤️

[@chrisdowell5976]

The figures and the tank make a great ensemble by themselves, can't wait to see the scene taking shape 👍

[@dioramadevil]

Tnx, mate... Soon, I promise...

Outstanding work ! I’m gonna give these techniques a try for sure ! It’s a modification of Night Shifts technique, but geared for us less skilled types Thanks so much and keep up the great work

[@dioramadevil]

And he has modyfied anothers approach, and so our hobby evolves and goes on... 😀 Tnx. I am not totally happy, because in my case preshading, didnt do mutch. But now with the base, is a totaly different storry... ❤️

Tnx, bro... ❤️

[@richaur87]

Great video!! I have had the same figures ready to be painted for almost two years, but I keep putting it off. With your tips, I'm going to take a chance in the near future anyway 😀 I'm looking forward to seeing that diorama in colour.

[@dioramadevil]

Hehe... Just go for them... 😀 There is a lot of color on the scene already on Patreon... Fell free to check it... ❤️

Interesting painting method. I usually start like you with a white zenithal highligh over black primer, but then I use a layer consistency instead of glaze to go over the value sketch provided by the zenithal highlight. I can use wet blending for the transitions. I will try your method on a couple of minis and see how it comes out. Thanks!

[@dioramadevil]

A pleasure. Tnx. My way is something in betwean. I must try with thicker layers next time. Not much, but still thicker...

[@tpbbuzzelli1327]

Really enjoyed the glazing process, yes it does take time to build up.

[@dioramadevil]

I tried, but it didnt work so well... I need a better preshading, I think. Tnx, mate...

[@tpbbuzzelli1327]

@@dioramadevil I to keep trying, it will take me many more times to really get it down .

[@user-ec7dz2zz3c]

Great job and thank you for sharing. I do have a question. After you finish painting the figures, do you apply a flat clear varnish or some type of a clear coat?

[@dioramadevil]

Tnx. No, nothing... 😀

[@WelderART]

preshading dident help because u using worst paints for figures :) Bo with AK 3 gen or scale 75 u will see differences

[@dioramadevil]

Mybee... I will try... Tnx 4 the comment... ❤️

[@alexx9491]

Nice, but greatcoats of Red Army has been grey colour, NOT green. Also in your work sapper blade is glued with the wrong side to belt of mini's. Two rectangles - are loops with which the cover of sapper blade was put on the soldier's belt.

[@dioramadevil]

Tnx for your constructive critics... I love that... ❤️
