Cool will watch properly when I next come up for air from the paperwork land

[@paintingpanzers]

Haha ewww paperwork!

[@Blitz9H]

This is good for morale!!! Superb!!! Well done, and a much appreciated historical lesson as well. Cheers!

[@paintingpanzers]

Glad you enjoyed it! I thought I'd try something a little different. I'm not sure if this kind of format will stay but it was a nice change of pace 🤭

[@Blitz9H]

@@paintingpanzers I do appreciate the often overlooked aspects of the war. So many years of struggle and conflict. You did well. Much appreciated.

[@thepiratepenguin4465]

The sword/machete is called a klewang.

[@paintingpanzers]

Thanks! That's really good to know, I should've asked the question before the video 😅

[@iangabor6822]

The green is such a weird color to peg down but i think you nailed it. Im debating whether to continue painting mine the way i did with the sample figs or use your color because mine came out kinda bright but it does make them really pop on the tabletop so idk.

[@paintingpanzers]

Thanks mate 👍 it's such a bloody hard green to get right. Every time I thought I had the right green it just didn't work lol. I guess you'll have to weigh up historical accuracy over what looks great on the tabletop? Sometimes brighter is better for us wargamers!

[@trekanbelluvitsh]

Great result! I understand that you interested in minor forces. I like them too. Unfortunatly they are hard to get and/or at the upper edge of the prize range normaly.

[@paintingpanzers]

Thanks kindly mate 😁 yeah that is a true point but I guess having less competition allows for a little bit of a price increase for these niche models. However, I'd rather have the option and buy a little more for something so unique 😎

[@thomashood155]

awesome way to kill time at work! and the figures are wicked, something you don't see very often. awesome work as usual mate.

[@paintingpanzers]

Haha I couldn't agree more mate. Cheers dude 😊

[@dutcharmypainter8160]

Or is it VALLEJO Model Air (264) Brown Violet (17ml.) (RLM81)?

[@GhostMaker00]

damn I wana do Dutch now haha

[@paintingpanzers]

Hahaha do it 😉

[@dutcharmypainter8160]

Hello question about one of the paints you used. Brown violet 70.887. The number comes back as Model Color: US Olive Drab (Vallejo). And I can’t find brown violet by name by name. Could you …….?

[@paintingpanzers]

You're right, it's no called US Olive Drab. It's the same paint but it's just had a name change 😉 bloody Vallejo, changing it up on us!!

[@dutcharmypainter8160]

Thx. I liked your colors for the KNIL. And want to use them for my own KNIL-miniatures.

[@paintingpanzers]

thanks a lot buddy :) be sure to show your work on my social media pages!@@dutcharmypainter8160

[@dutcharmypainter8160]

Did I miss the skin ??

[@paintingpanzers]

Skin tutorial will come out at some point but if you want an idea of how I paint skin, my 28mm Splinter camouflage tutorial has that covered ☺️
