Viet Cong Figure painting attempt N0.2! in 1/72 Scale

I am back! Thank you for being patient with me, I know it has been a long while but I wanted to come back with something different this time. I have always wanted to add unique figures to my dioramas and models but it was a while since I did a decent figure. So what better way to get back to the channel then do just that. So today I have an Orion Viet Cong Runner to paint in Vallejo Acrylics. I really enjoyed this one and the process is very simple! Hope you enjoy and stay to the end for another figure attempt from earlier, ENJOY GUYS :D

I play wargames in 1/72 (25mm) and have been collecting models and kits for the Vietnam Era. The 3d print market vastly expands the opportunities for vehicles and terrain, even miniatures. I look forward to your future reviews venturing into the 3D print market. Thank you for sharing.

Good to see you back, hope all is well? Painting soft plastic figures is a challenge, which you pulled off really well 👍 One trick I’ve used in the past, is to give the figure a coat of diluted PVA glue. Gives the paint something to adhere to. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Brilliant idea will try that next time 😃✌🏻

Good to see you back! Great work on those tiny figures, not an easy modelling task for sure.

[@warspanky8879]

really great work!

[@alexc8209]

Yes! you used an ink wash! thankyou. So many youtubers dont ink wash their figures and i think it looks unfinished. Personally I would have used flesh wash or another light brown wash for a figure like that one bbecause black is a bit harsh BUT any wash is better than none. Thankyou for your efforts. Subbed.

[@theartificerchannel2110]

Nice one man appreciate the sub! 😄 Totally agree wash really gives a gritting war like effect and I prefer this to the toy soldier like finish in some styles. Good advice I actually got the full Vallejo flesh tone set and the flesh wash so will be putting out another figure painting vid soon.

To my knowledge the tube around his neck really isn't a blanket. It would be filled with food mainly rice.
