Great video, Scott. A lot of expert information is packed into this one. And, thank you so much for the mention at the beginning - totally unnecessary, but very much appreciated. Take care, my friend.
That's great! Painting of figures at the highest level.Hornet heads).The only thing that I am surprised by the figures of tamiya, because they are quite worse than dragon.
Thank you! It really depends on what figure sets you’re talking about. The new figure sets from Tamiya are light years ahead of anything Dragons done. Dragon hasn’t released a figure set in years.
Always great to see one of the masters at work! That scratch built helmet inlay alone is just crazy! I like how you showed your approach in such a detailed way, it really helps to understand the reasons why you do this and that. The resulting figures are amazing, thank you for sharing this.
Thanks Michael! Glad you liked it and found it useful. I try to pack in as much information in each video as I can and try and explain the process so everyone can understand what I’m doing. Cheers.🙂
Thanks for reiterating. I'm new to the shadowing and highlighting. I'm about to start 3 American Paratroopers at 1/35 scale. I'm absorbing everything you teach. Definitely following you from now on.😁👍
Your figure painting has always been on point Scott so no surprises there mate I hope you decide to take the patreon route I think you’ll do well. Good luck 🤞
Great to see, or better hear you back! They came out great, wasn't expecting you to use dry brushing in such a big scale. And yes, I would totally love to see you painting a 1/10 bust with acrylics. I was thinking about trying the same, as I was hoping to safe some time and finish it quicker than using oils. But as you just said, quality needs time. And I am not sure about painting a bigger piece in acrylics because oils are so much nicer to blend and build up in layers. So, I would be very interested in you doing it👌
Thanks so much my friend! Yes I’ll be doing a bust next… I think. I have a few to choose from. I still love oils and won’t give them up Anytime soon, I just want to try and develop my acrylic techniques and get them on par with my oils. Thanks for your support!🙂🙌🏻
@@SmallSoldier it's a pleasure. Would be great to see a new bust from you, but I know this struggle too, so much things we want to do, so little time. Acrylic skin tones are the most challenging to me, uniforms and details are fine, but skin tones are hard. So a bust in acrylics would be very interesting to see. Looking forward to whatever you choose to do next👍
Just a heads up... Vallejo glazze medium already has drying retarder in it... so you're doubling up (maybe you want the even longer drying time, personally I'm a little fast I paint and have gone back for the next highlight and found everything was still too wet with just using the glaze medium.)
A great tutorial,thanks Scott and its good to see you back, I've started airbrushing using black & white as a first step using Tamiya acrylics, but I'm experimenting using enamel glazes instead of acrylics while its a 'in progress' I'm starting to get the hang of them, which means I may even try acrylics in the far future. I'm all for long videos fyi.
For acrylic painting I have started to use retarder to help with the drying time and to allow for better blending. It changed a lot on how I paint, which you do state. Sometimes I think there are acrylic no no's or vodu methods you are not suppose to do but then in the end, it doesn't matter. LOL You did an awesome job thought Scott!
Thanks Curtis! The retarder and glaze medium really help to relieve the surface tension and eliminate those annoying tide marks that acrylics tend to dry with. I’m enjoying the new process and have learned a lot.🙂
Hi Scott, good job on the figures. Good job on removing the mold lines. I find that they're very bad around the feet of most figures. I would love to see you tackle a larger scale figure in acrylics. Maybe something Roman or a Samurai would be cool. Also, I prefer the shorter format videos as time is my enemy.
Thanks Glenn. Yes the next will probably be a 1/10 Scale bust. I’ve had mixed feelings on the longer and shorter videos. Some say as long as possible and other such as yourself say shorter. I’m still undecided but I totally get your limited time as I’m exactly the same. Maybe someday I’ll be able to do this TH-cam gig full time and time won’t be an issue. 🙂🍻
Hi Scott, your figure's look amazing, buddy. Where did you get the helmet liners from. also I don't mind if your videos are longer or shorter as it's you who has to fit it in with life mate. Cheers Gary 🇬🇧.
Don’t forget to give this video a like! It costs you nothing but helps my channel a ton by being suggested to others with similar interests. Cheers🍻

I definitely book marked this video. I like the colours you use and process. I just can’t blend acrylics to save my life.
Glaze medium and retarder are key for blending. East ridge hobbies has the retarder.
Even a worse figure model could be transformed into a highly presentable model..i envy of your meticulous method of building military figures..👍👍👍👍☺️
Thank you very much! Cheers!🙂
Looking good
Thanks!🙂
YES please another video outlining how you “learned “ the use of acrylics. Thanks for sharing this one too btw.Great stuff.
Thanks Timothy. I certainly will do another.
I'd like to see longer videos, you have the skills, you know how to communicate, both visually and verbally.
Excellent feedback! I appreciate it.🙂
Brilliant video... Really enjoyed it. Figures impressive
Thanks so much!🙌🏻🍻
Thanks Rick! It’s the least I can do. Sorry it took so long but I truly appreciate the paints and they were awesome!🙂
Great result well done Sir.
Thank you kindly
mastering acrylic on figure painting will be an extra feather on your modelling cap
Thanks! One can only try.
So really nice video! Thank you for sharing! See you soon!

I'm currently trying to paint 1/48 figures and it's about to drive me insane. I Love this channel. . . Great work!
Thanks so much! Glad you’re enjoying what I do. 🙂🍻
Lovely!👍
Thank you Vincent!🙂🍻
Excelente diorama
Thank you!🙂
Gorgeous video
Thanks!🍻🙂
Great video, I suppose acrylic is my future as well. Love the work you and Rick are doing.
Thanks Mark! I figure us Old Soldiers need to embrace the future as well.😂
Thanks for reiterating. I'm new to the shadowing and highlighting. I'm about to start 3 American Paratroopers at 1/35 scale. I'm absorbing everything you teach. Definitely following you from now on.😁👍
Thanks Mary Anne! Good luck with your paratroopers. 🙂🍻
Great piece of work mate , and the longer the video the better!
Thanks… I’ll keep this in mind for future videos.

Thanks! I’ve used Humbrol enamels in the past with very good results so enamels are a great option as well imo. Good luck with your painting.👌🏻🙌🏻

Great video. It does look like Tamiya figures have come a long way. Who makes the helmet photo etch?
Thanks 🙏🏻. Yes I’d say Tamiya is leading the way right now in plastic injection figures. I really like them.🙂
Oh crap! Sorry, I forgot to answer your question, my apologies. Helmet liners are from Aber.
I know glazes are very thinned out, but is a wash even thinner than a glaze?
Generally a wash is thinner. I use glazes to alter a colour/change the tone. A wash is meant to emphasize panel lines and such.
Like,like ,like ,like 😍😍😍😍😍
Thanks, m8! 🍻
Hi Scott, your figure's look amazing, buddy.
