Painting A 1/35 Scale Native American Figure | Scale Modeling Tutorial

In this video, we'll roll back the clock a bit & check out a figure from America's 19th century - this beautiful Native American sharpshooter figure from Master Box Models. This figure makes a great addition to any collection & is a perfect base to practice some techniques painting with a different color palette than we're used to with our WWII-era figures.

Learning about native Americans and West America in History in school right now,this looks amazing,and it is a cool bit of usually until history!

Love the unique figure painting tutorials!

[@SpruesNBrews]

Glad to hear it - thanks!

I have a large collection of figures, Dragon, tamiya, master box, miniart and icm. In the last year, I started buy these other figure kits by icm and master box. The native American ions or western series from master as well icm, Gurkha, morrocans, etc. I've been researching flesh tones for people other than Caucasian, recently African flesh tones. It's not easy painting flesh tones, even sunburned Caucasian is not easy. So I really appreciate this video of painting native Americans, one of the few I've seen. Thank you Hank.

Hank has a klller video on painting African American soldiers on his play list of you are interested! :)

Great job on the Indian looks pretty cool. Never painted an Indian before.I might have to try that keep up the good work

Well done. Master Box does a series of woodland Indians from the 1700s that are nicely done as well. I am a plastic modeller but my main interest is figure painting. Going out of your comfort zone is a great way to improve skills.

[@eclipsehorse8693]

agreed! I just finished the Tamiya German field kitchen not long ago- was fun to paint rear line support personnel, and being a military cook myself, i took interest in the subject matter! 's nice to get away from vehicles and armor now and them, and pain the little people who run them! :)

[@Chilly_Billy]

Nicely done. MB makes some really interesting figure sets.

[@eclipsehorse8693]

wow- absolute fire! Nice subject matter, and soemthing to get you out of the rut so to speak, and spark up your creative juices a little! I see kits like this on Amazon from time to time, an wonder if I should give em a go, just as a change of pace. It's jaust fun to zone out and be creativem relax, and PAINT! I'll often give the little figures Im working with names, or backgrounds to help be connect a bit better with them and the story I want to tell in the end... Keep up the wonderful work!!

Thank you Sir figure painting is something I’m starting to get into more. I was always into the armor so much but now that I’m doing dioramas more than anything this is super helpful!

[@user-fn6pe9fz4c]

I love master box figures, thought of buying this one, maybe I will!

[@JesseHande]

Currently I'm building a Tamiya Jagdpanther late variant and I'm wondering if you would have any tips on camouflages or maybe historical accuracies to help improve my build.

[@mzaite]

Awesome job, love all your not caucasian skin tutorials. Have you tried modulating varnishes to get better specularity on stuff like hair and skin?

[@Rusty-ec1el]

I’m new to figure painting. Got some Japanese figures to paint. Any tips on what to do to get their skin tone correct?

[@jamesbednar8625]

Good video!!! Maybe those large feathers were CONDOR or THUNDERBIRD feathers!!
