Miniature Painting tips | Things I wish I knew before | Model railway figure painting

Miniature painting can be found to be therapeutic as I do, with a small amount of time you can build up a collection of minis which will allow you to make your modelling diorama that little model interesting. For me painting model people gives me that feeling that I’m still making progress with the model railway as they are part of the end goal for each layout I do as they are the garnish at the end of the project.

Great instructional video . I’ve learnt a lot . Also seeing the reverse highlights techniques was good .

3:02 The Land Girls date back to WWII as part of the home front, replacing farm workers who were in demand for the army - actually farm boys making arguably the best soldiers due to being tough out-door types used to making do and being in a hierarchy. There were a few Land Girl appearances in "Dad's Army" and "Foyle's War" and there is an eponymous 1998 film. They seemed to have gone around in small groups. The Land Girls Uniform was brown corduroys and green wooly-pully. Great vids by the way. I voted for you for again for Model Railway KZbinr of the year, and not just because you do OO9 which is my gauge/scale. I'm not surprised by Charlie Bishop's annual re-coronation with his 66K subscribers but it's all good publicity for the hobby, and I'm sure you'll get there in the end !

Tris, i love and voted for your channel. Your calm, relaxed commentary is so easyto engage with. I also like the way you give tips as you go without being prescriptive. Keep itup.

[@charlessampson6426]

Cool, easy going video. ☆☆☆☆☆

[@Tommo140265]

Fascinating to watch them come to life Tris

[@frankkie3849]

Nicely done,,did learn something from this.. thanks for sharing…

[@jimmyeatshoe]

I have learnt a lot from this video Tris! More of this type of video will also be welcomed! Thank you 🎉

[@littlelocos]

thanks for this video, im starting modelling and just bought some unpainted figure (because painted costs wayyyy too much) and i will find this very helpful, thanks :)

[@musoseven8218]

Nice work Tris. I'm slowly doing some in 7mm, I used to paint 1/35 figures, so had to get into a smaller mindset. I'll probably call on Dan to help me with some figures too, due to my health issues etc, but it's nice to do something therapeutic like this👍💜✌️😊

[@user-br9hv5ku2o]

Great video. I often have trouble getting flesh coloured paint to look like flesh and was hoping that you'd cover that but you skipped to the completed figures. Can you give tips on painting flesh?

[@philsrailway5910]

Hi Tris. Good paint job, & some good tips. 👍

[@philRminiatures]

Superb paint job, love the subtile colors...Realistic and wonderful work!

[@IronHorseRailways]

Nice one Tris, I'll certainly be borrowing some of the ideas shared here to help with my figure painting 😊

[@WesternSignalman]

Lovely stuff those figures look great. I too have the buggkeskelly railway director, couldn’t resist getting him for the layout.

[@gwrtromsoe]

Good video Tris! :)

[@thelittlewesternmodelrailway]

Great video Tris! Appreciate the tips for paiting, eventually I will get round to using them myself 😂

[@kymvalleygardensdesign5350]

Excellent video again really enjoyed this

[@rottenroads1982]

Painting Tiny People. Nice. I would definitely need OO scale figures in order to make some Human characters for my Thomas & Friends OCs. If you’ve seen the channel called The Horrocks Branch, the OO scale Human Figures do play an Important role.

[@fredtedstedman]

.......treat it as a pleasure , rather than a chore .......................painting is Zen !

[@malminstral]

Thank you for the video, I enjoyed it and I learnt a lot about painting.

[@kelvinVAUGHAN]

I just can't keep what i am painting still anymore, so tend to buy ready painted figures

[@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY]

Brilliant video, and for me, a great follow-up to your 009 videos as my grandson (11) is going to build a 009 layout and has some figures to paint. Maybe he'll post videos on his channel Dylington Model Railway. I'm looking forward to the next video. Cheers James

[@HeadstoneRailway-xs6zz]

Hi Im an N Gauge aspirant / new modeller (and was never particularly arty) However i think the right brushes might help when trying to paint figures. Can you advise please, Also wanted to ask about your glasses Did you just buy a strong perscription for painting? Love the channel Thanks

[@rremington3983]

I held my breath most the way through that….goodness knows how you chatter away and do minute work such as that….if I was doing it each figure would look like a pizza 😀!

[@peterwrigglesworth7302]

Fantastic work Tris I've got a few figures to paint myself so I will be trying out your tips if they come out half as good as yours I will be well pleased. One question did you use things down Vallejo paints? Thank you for sharing cheers Pete

[@greatnorthernrailwaytother4711]

Hi Tris, great video thanks. Can you explain what a wet pallet is please. Cheers Peter

[@oswestryroadtmd4850]

I will watch this on catchup

[@mrbigbadtrev]

What brushes would you recommend please? You've certainly given me some ideas.

[@hughoconnor9172]

White metal figures are highly detailed so tend to be expensive; so I tend to buy the Chinese plastic ones, where you can get 25/50 for the price of 1 or 2 white metal figures. The only issues being they tend to be poorly painted in somewhat garish colours and in a sort of gloss paint. They can be overpainted with acrylics but I wonder if there's a better way?

[@JamesPetts]

When you've painted the clothing but have yet to paint the skin, they look like zombies!

[@Kevin-mm5ix4dc7y]

Thanks for sharing Tris really fantastic result. I think you said you glued the figures to the wood. If so what type of glue did you use?
