Tamiya 1/35 How-to Figure Painting

Hi I made my first figure painting video. I'm trying to get better at figure painting, so I'm practicing. This time I tried my best with my current painting skills. I'm learning figure painting through trial and error. I hope you enjoy it!
こんにちは　初めてのフィギュア塗装ビデオを作ってみました。フィギュア塗装上手くなりたくて練習しています。今回は現在の私の塗装技術でベストを尽くしました。試行錯誤しながらフィギュア塗装を勉強しています。是非観てください！

Thank you very much.

I'm building these Tamiya figures at this time. Your video was very helpful and great detail work on painting the faces. Thanks.

[@pedroalbicastrense353]

Magnifique job really 👍

[@markedwards5106]

Impressive finish on your figures, would love to see you paint the equipment also. Appreciate you showing us your skill.

[@scalemodelresearch]

Thank you very much. I am very happy. Next time I make a figure video, I'll record the painting of the equipment as well.

[@Bulbagaba992]

Wow, I am at awe with your skills. You really nailed the face, the eyes to be exact. Since they’re the hardest part to paint. I’m on a break from figure painting since 2005, seeing you work inspired me again. Thanks for the tips on the priming of figures.

[@scalemodelresearch]

Thanks for the comment! I'm glad to hear it. I hope you will too. Try figure painting again.

[@tonyromano6220]

Did it help?

[@MrKersey]

Many thanks on your figure painting tutorial. Have a great weekend.

First class technique, and result...Uniforms and faces look superb and so real!

[@scalemodelresearch]

Thank you for your comment. Glad to hear it.

[@tonyromano6220]

I just love the idea of using direction of spray so much, great method I need to learn to use.

フィギュア塗装を練習中なのですごく勉強になりました！ 特に服の陰影をエアブラシで付けていく方法、早速やってみたいと思います。 他の動画も楽しく拝見させていただいております🙆

[@scalemodelresearch]

ありがとうございます😊私もまだまだ練習中です。　コメント嬉しいです。参考になれば幸いです。

[@josecesar8657]

Well done to you sir. Very nice work indeed!

[@scalemodelresearch]

Thank you very much.

[@krissbazarek8166]

Nice figurines. Interestingly painted.

[@scalemodelresearch]

thank you🙌

[@bogdansandu8892]

This is an excellent work. Very expressive faces...good job!

[@scalemodelresearch]

Thank you! That makes it all worthwhile.

[@user-js4zx1lr2u]

Those (and your painting skills) are light years ahead of the half dozen 1970's Tamiya figures I made when I first got into armor models. I still have those, currently standing on the shelf above my desk. The molding capabilities have increased dramatically over the past 50 years.

[@tonyromano6220]

Internet helps us all.

[@stefanschaad2843]

Nice Job Moshiyan! Recently bought this kit. Tamiya figures have greatly improved over the years. This is one of their best figure kits in my opinion. Never used Vallejo paints, but Im tempted to try them.

[@scalemodelresearch]

Thanks for the comment! The Tamiya kit is a nice kit, easy to build! The Tamiya kit is a good kit, easy to assemble, and the VALLEJO is the easiest to use for figure painting.

[@paulalderson6920]

Excellent video, best yet on this subject.

[@scalemodelresearch]

Thanks for the comment!

[@Barbarossamodels]

Really nice tutorial, face in particular is especially well done….👏👏🙂

[@scalemodelresearch]

Thanks for the comment! I'm so happy!

[@7979phantom]

Look's nice for the first attempt. I'm also fastreted from failer of figures painting. Now ill adopt you're method. It's not look like Martin Novak modular or LPJ , both of them are Experts. But nice.

[@scalemodelresearch]

Thank you very much. I hope to be able to paint like Martin Novak and LPJ one day. I guess I just need to practice.

[@norbertjocker9504]

Hello there, I guess your profession is brain surgeon; these steady hands are not normal. They make it possible to do such unbelievable paintwork caught on camera. However; your soldier needs a shave?! I think I see some little hair grow, seriously...this is so amazing, so good, it's another world. Respect and friendly greatings from the Netherlands.

[@scalemodelresearch]

Thanks for the comment! A brain surgeon is... awesome! That's a great profession! I'm just an old man who likes models. I'm just an old guy who likes models. I'll practice more and do my best to make a good one!

[@lieschenmultikill5038]

This a wonderful and easy to follow instructional video. Great concepts are always simple. I like your primer approach, since other modellers use black and then white 1500, but black and grey with withe drybrushing is awesome. Many thanks for the instruction and the time you have taken to share your great skills 🙏 and a big applause 👏👏👏 fot the great looking figures!!!

[@scalemodelresearch]

Thanks for the hot comment! I'll keep practicing more and try to make better work. Thank you!

[@corradolaccetti1209]

Beautiful figure great job i am italian model maker.

[@scalemodelresearch]

Thank you so much 🙌 if i was a model maker i'd want to build your kit too.

[@jeremychan2024]

Thank you for sharing.... how do you paint the ranks on the collar (the two while thin stripes)? Thank you in advance.

[@anthonykruse9223]

Awesome job. Only one issue, I believe it was Geneva Convention violation for a soldier to carry anything marked with a red cross while also carrying a weapon ;)

[@scalemodelresearch]

thank you‼️🙌👍

[@jamesmcansh3441]

Impressive work , can you provide tamiya brush sizes you used? I saw your reply to almost same question but size of brushes were not mentioned. Keep up the amazing work . ✌🇨🇦✌

[@scalemodelresearch]

Thank you for your comment. Tamiya brush size, item number is 87153 　87155 　87173 Thank you very much.

[@robertstarner8083]

Absolutely off the chart great video!! Two questions: (1) What brush kit did you use and (2) What decal kit did you use??? Amazon?

[@scalemodelresearch]

Thank you very much. I am very happy. The airbrush is made by Tamiya, and the brush is also Tamiya. The decals are by Tamiya. The decals are from the Tamiya figure kit.

[@vicentezaldivar9138]

Need more details and style 😊

[@user-sg6dy5qx5j]

Hello, what kind of paints did you use for the equipment?

[@scalemodelresearch]

I believe Vallejo was used at this time.

[@wesker919]

Are there peg holes on the bottoms of the feet for the sticks to be placed?

[@scalemodelresearch]

There are no peg holes, so I drill them out and put in brass wire.

[@wesker919]

[@user-sh3bo5rg9m]

すみません。目玉の白目の部分は白色を差さ無くても良いのですね？

[@scalemodelresearch]

フィギュアの造形によっては白をいれるときもあります。

[@Trollnatornew]

endlich mal ein selbst- erklärendes video und sehr unkompliziert ..

[@scalemodelresearch]

Thank you.

[@hidalgohouse3815]

Can anyone tell me which Tamiya set this is?

[@scalemodelresearch]

Thank you! It's Tamiya's German infantry set. This is the most recent kit of Tamiya's German army figures.
