Subscribed after this video. Returning to modelmaking after almost forty years 😂 (61 yrs old). Need all the hints and tips i can get 😂😂

[@greekveteran2715]

I always become a kid again,when I see this,because it used to be my hobby as a kid! It's a great hobby and if my eyes,were bnette,I would definitely get back to it!

[@TheMattzki]

We have modelers magnifying glasses on special stands for that exact reason my friend........cmon you know you wanna!!!🫵

[@TheMattzki]

Im almost 40 and still love them

[@vincentlussier8264]

Hey man, I'm 63 and I've been doing this since the early 1970's! I had cataract surgery done three years ago when I had a big cataract in my right eye and couldn't build at all. After my surgery I can see like a twenty yearold again! I do need reading glasses and who doesn't after fourty but I can still do figures and dios!

[@TheMattzki]

@@vincentlussier8264 thats an all round good result for you then and your favorite model manufacturer...👍

[@riptheripper9060]

I think it's great that you're offering your time and knowledge to help others interested in this hobby. I feel it's more than a hobby for people such as yourself. It's an art form that takes years and decades to perfect. Practice and repetition. Thank you😀

[@lawswon4857]

Great video. The beauty of uniforms is that they change colour over time. They're only their "true" colour for a few weeks. Eventually they fade. Therefore, all five of those soldiers would've had a different colour uniform, and even their pants would've been a slightly different colour from their jacket. You could've chosen almost any combination of the colours you tested and it would've looked authentic.

[@TheBearScaleModels]

big thanks ! agreed about the colours of uniforms fading.

[@cyberleaderandy1]

Agree. Reenactors are a good place to look at for variations in tones and colours or film series like band of brothers

[@michaeldean1289]

Another great tutorial mate! Tamiya has finally reached a pinnacle of plastic injection moulding that surpasses Dragon and Miniart kits. Has to be one of the best kits that I’ve assembled. They have been very clever to hide the sprue attachment points and provide the recessed personal equipment areas which make it more realistic. Great work and thanks for sharing your work again ❤😊

[@TheBearScaleModels]

Big thanks Michael ! totally agree if only they made more like this !! like some mechanics or some relaxed modern day AFV crew... (dream on)

[@MrPolicekarim]

@@TheBearScaleModels Sadly I think that they will concentrate on combat figures, at first. Maybe later.

[@glennrobbins2372]

That is a great set and the figures are top notch. I have them planned with 3 other figures for a diorama where they are watching one of their comrades getting attended to by a medic while one is giving a report to their commander.

[@MykeWinters]

Good luck with your build 👍

[@stevenpiper970]

Tamiya figures have come a long long way. you have great figure skill

[@TrevorD2502]

Fantastic enjoyed this video. I used to assemble Tamiya in 70s & 80s. 👌🇦🇺

[@mikeday8295]

Brilliant vid very comprehensive but so easy to understand 👍

[@woody3590]

My figures never really turned out that good but with your help and tips they are improving so much. Thank You. I am building a downed aircraft diorama and there is 12 figures and two trucks plus the aircraft...😊

[@TheBearScaleModels]

that sounds like a cool project ! if the video helped im glad ! but dont forget its you yourself that is putting in all the work... and everything is possible with practice~! enjoy your builds

[@woody3590]

This hobby really saved my life as I was in a industrial logging accident and my physical health is poor. I found this hobby and have built an incredible workshop . I spend hours a day in there but my wife tells me not to ignor life stuff totally. I am gratefull my wife hung in there because it was two long years of recovery. Thank You again for making this video.We are so lucky there is youtube today...CHEERS FROM CANADA@@TheBearScaleModels

Water colour pencils come in handy for doing the lining in i've found..

[@TheBearScaleModels]

Oh that sounds interesting... how is it done !

[@George-pp2hr]

Thats a great job on those figures. Detailed painting of what i could see. Unfortunately i dont have home internet so im straining to see on my mobile phone data. The figures have improved compared to the earlier versions. They do look natural rather in ridiculous poses. Tamiya continue to come up with better figures all the time. Excellent work there. From Australia.👍🇭🇲🦘✌️

[@nossapieterse3687]

Nice no nonsens video !! Figures look amazing !

[@TheBearScaleModels]

Big thank you ! Glad you enjoyed !

[@lesthiele4921]

Greetings Bear, those figures were outstanding, I think Tamiya figures have come a long was from days of old, I just wish they would updater some of their vehicles, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia 👍👍👍👍

[@madtony2531]

Fantastic video. I will definitely take note from it. Only problem for me is I can't use a paint sprayer in my house so I will have to use oils or acrylics

[@mattylamb658]

Great video, very thorough. You might have skipped over the spraying the base layer a bit too quick, for a moment I thought you were airbrushing straight onto the raw plastic. Video shows what can be achieved with good injection moulding and solid painting skills!

[@manningjackson2723]

Awesome mate, keep up the great work! 👍

[@AbstractArmorHLF]

Well done Bear.

[@K.buildingthings]

thanks for taking time to do the tutorial.. really appreciate it and i learn alot too

[@willvolny5343]

Absolutely brilliant, mate! I regret having not found your KZbin channel before. I've needed exactly this sort of thing - level of research and detail perfect.

thank you so much for this video. start of 2021 i got into modelling. I stopped at end of 2021 as i was frustrated with my prgress, didn’t understand much and my figurines looked like shit. this vid motivates me to get back in! thx so much great vid

Hi buddy, great build and paint job. I do like the poses you've done a brilliant job mate and also have subscribed to your channel. Cheers Gary 🇬🇧

[@andrewm3934]

great vid - just bought them

[@TheBearScaleModels]

awesome ! enjoy your build !

[@wolfpack4694]

Excellent how to video. Thank you. Do you have any suggestions on what material to use to fill gaps between the pieces, such as between the arm and the torso? I see you approached it by simply filling it with glue, but in my experience that can be messy and melt some of the details. Any other methods or products you like for gap filling?

[@TheBearScaleModels]

Correct I use pressure and the melted plastic fills the gap... this is the best method I have found as opposed to using filler. But if you prefer filler any putty will work... Mr dissolved putty is one of the best for small gaps.

[@tomryan943]

Would it be easier to paint the smaller parts before placing them on the figure, or would that interfere with the glue?

[@kevinfitzpatrick8532]

Great job 👍

[@btcbob11392]

Big thanks really appreciated!

[@carolinagl90]

Hi, these figures are amazing! I bought one set, but I'm a beginner :( Which glue did you use for assemble the pieces?

[@peterdiepenthal4090]

What you do is you get the thin masking tape slice a small section of it about as thick as the straps on the figure paint it the right colour for the strap and use super glue to fix to rifles

[@theochan2911]

Very nice 👍🏻

[@TheBearScaleModels]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@stuartosborne6263]

Brilliant video, very helpful. One question, the schematic drawing of the face shading where did you say that was from?

[@TheBearScaleModels]

It's I believe from the Shepard Paine book on dioramas ... buts it been so long. I copied that page from the book maybe over 10 years ago and still refer to it.

[@stuartosborne6263]

@@TheBearScaleModels thank you, I will try and find it.

[@miecio-x2i]

Dear Sir, a very good guide to painting figures, but in order for it to be useful for beginner modellers and others, the paint numbers should be shown precisely or described on the screen, otherwise no one will use it. Regards.

[@dacuzzz6951]

hello... i am new to your channel.. i have never seen figure models until i joined this modeling community...i do have a question... wouldn't it be easier to paint all the details before applying them?? clever way to do the rifle straps...very nice job.. thx for sharing.. vinny

[@TheBearScaleModels]

Hi Vinny.. well my advice is to get practice painting details in-situ. Even if packs are painted separately you still need to paint the belts and uniform as part of the figure.

[@dacuzzz6951]

@@TheBearScaleModels thank you for your response... vinny

[@roberth5767]

Bear, great video! Earned you a like and a sub. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work. If I may offer one point of interest, the rank chevrons are a wee bit too high on the jackets. They should be about 1/2 way between the shoulder and the elbow. Sort of midway. I know it's nit-picking, but I offer the suggestion with all due respect to your artistic craft.

[@TheBearScaleModels]

Hi Robert big thanks for joining and useful feedback is 100% appreciated here. I had some difficulty finding m1943 with rank chevrons but they were indeed displayed on combat jackets. Then of course when it came to fit them on I totally forgot about you mention ! We wore them exactly the same with space on top of shoulder for divisional patch. Thanks again !

[@fabianlabian]

I may of missed it but do you wash the figures before priming or is that for resin figures?

[@TheBearScaleModels]

No need to wash anything just make sure no dust before spraying primer.

[@fernandopaseri3070]

[@b.schade]

Makes me so sad that the rank chevron decals supplied are the wrong color. The paint is phenomenal, and the yellow chevron instead of the light khaki on blue

[@Malcrom1967]

Sadly they don't make any WW2 Canadian troops.

[@TheBearScaleModels]

Seems very unlikely we will see these new style figure sets depicting anything other than German and US ww2 troops. Last 5 releases have been ww2 Germany

[@peterlloyd3534]

Greatl pity they are stuck on 1/35 scale figures, the resin ones out of China are poor copy fakes.

[@lfernandplopsa3627]

Afther all those years Tamiya still can not make decent figurines 😖😖🤦‍♂🤦‍♂

[@Danny0connor-qv9oq]

Are they not good???

[@peterdiepenthal4090]

If you cut the strips on the tap properly you should be able to make three to four straps you then just need to cut them to the right length to make the rifle straps give it a try with an old broken model to get it right

[@peterdiepenthal4090]

I’ve also thought of something else cutting the masking tape thin enough and placing them over the straps on the models it would be very fidgety and time consuming be imagine how good it would look lm gonna be building some German soliders in the future mite give it a try

[@TheBearScaleModels]

Did you even watch the video ?

[@peterdiepenthal4090]

Your better of making the slings from the very thin masking tape stronger and looks more real cause the tape is flat

[@billfrater1948]

Never get my head round why people attach equipment before painting, so much easier to paint equipment before sticking to the figure..

[@TheBearScaleModels]

Yep keep trying to get head around it... or even better ...don't even bother commenting 🤡

[@peterdiepenthal4090]

So your doing it already

[@peterdiepenthal4090]

I don’t understand why you build them this way you do it completely different to how l build them
