I have been modelling for nearly 40 years from Hisorex figures to scratch built ancients such have won international awards in competions, but in all that time I have never seen painting standards as in the video.Two things it goes to show you always learn something new and admiration to a skilled model painter. Please let us see more of his skills.

[@mrblackpublications]

I have no excuse...Already 10 months uploaded and I have just found the time to see this tutorial in whole. I really enjoyed every second and I am really impressed of how much detail can be added to a figure using just painting. But when the painting is coming from the hands of the Grand Master Jaume Ortiz then looks perfect and easy to do! I think this is the best video in the hobby for painting Early German Uniforms in 1/35 Scale. Of course also the Alpine Miniatures quality combining with Vallejo Acrylics giving a perfect result! Keep on going friends!

You're welcome Nuno! Thanks for the great feedback!!!😊

[@FlynnHancock]

What kind of brushes do you use and at what mixture/psi do you set your airbrush at? Great Video!

[@vallejocolors]

Hello Flynn! Jaume is using in this video W&N Serie7 size 0 brush and for airbrushing these colors, the compressor air pressure is recommended at 15 - 20 PSI or 0.5 to 1 kg. We hope this info helps 🥰

[@FlynnHancock]

Yes it DOES! Thank You!

your brush control is remarkable. I can already tell that will be my highest hurdle.

Hello Dafydd001! Don't give up! Painting small figures takes practice and patience, but with time and perseverance, you'll gain control over your brush and create beautiful pieces. Keep going and believe in yourself! 💪🏻🔥

[@ada42klm]

OUTSTANDING!!! Very Informative. Thank you.

[@TheBattleRabbit860]

I can never get my paints to go on so smoothly, are the paints thinned at all during the shadow/highlight application before the blending process? I still have so much to learn.

[@vallejocolors]

Hello, The Battle Rabbit! It's highly recommended to always add a tiny drop of water to your colors and mixtures to apply thin, smooth layers. They will allow you to control the brushstroke and paint with a more pleasant consistency :)

Great video! In what ratio did you mix your highlights? 1(base) - 2:1 (mid) - 1:1(high light) - 1(extreme high)? Also when blending did you only use water or Vallejo thinner/glaze medium to thin your paint?

[@jaumeortiz4767]

Hi there!. It's hard to say... it would be 1:1 dilution for sketch and 1:2 for blending more or less. I use just water tho thin the paint.

[@vallejocolors]

Hello OCNEO Wahle! Thank you so much for that great feedback ❤ You can use thinner, but in case you want to delay a bit the drying time (high ambient temperatures or very hot/dry spaces), you can add a drop of retarder medium :)

Great video. Thanks so much for sharing. What brush is that? It looks like a great brush with a fine point and it looks like it will hold a good amount of paint.

[@vallejocolors]

Thank you Shawn! Maybe he uses a DaVinci brush. The ones with longer bristles are the ones that hold more paint (they also tend to dry slower than shorter bristles brushes) :)

Danny, try using a wet palette, with the glowy part of STICK PAPER on top.... It helped me so much! Look for it on youtube. My paint thinning is 2x better now, with wet palette + stick paper.

[@MF-kv8cn]

This figure is meant for beginners because of how it's marketed as "how to paint". People learning to paint will not have an airbrush, compressor, spray booth and all the other trimmings that go with having an airbrush set-up. If somebody is purchasing a figure with a pre-arranged paint set, what makes You as a company think somebody at home will already have an airbrush. Just saying since the most important step of how to paint in this tutorial is done by a tool 99% of novice painters will not have, and that's an airbrush.

[@jaumeortiz4767]

Hi!, I appreciate your comment, but I think you're wrong. Airbrushing is not the main technique showed on the video.It's very helpful and saves time, but base coat can be done by brush and this wouldn't affect the rest of painting process. All the best

[@SmallSoldier]

@@jaumeortiz4767 Agreed Jaume. You only used it for the pre-shade process.However this is probably more of an advanced tech video as it takes many hour of work and skill to pull off the awesome results shown.

[@The_Modeling_Underdog]

Well, MF... That's what local modeling clubs and stores are for. You can always meet somebody who will guide you through the makings on beginning to paint with an airbrush. Most clubs have airbrushing equipment and club members eager to show you how it's done. And if such a place is not near you nor available, you can always brush paint both the primer and the first coat on the figure and carry on working from there. Cheers, mate.
