Thanks for this vid. I especially appreciate that it's a real-time vid, and all your comments and musings are very useful. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Toby, excellently constructed video. Just the right amount of information with actual time footage so that anyone with genuine interest can easily master the basics of layering and develop sound technique for painting to a reasonable (actually better than basic) standard. All they need is time, patience, a steady hand and enough interest to appreciate what looks convincing at this scale ie some colour sense. I have been painting wargaming models since before 1970 and still learn new techniques every time I paint. Thanks a million for all your help.
Great video, I have boxes of Perry and Victrix British to paint up. Still have a few French still so looking forward to your next tutorial hopefully French line infantry
Very good tutorial. I have problems with painting white uniforms for French Napoleonic Line Infantry. Could you make a tutorial for French Napoleonic Line Infantry as well please if you have time? Thanks
Thanks for the class! Great Job done! Suggest to have one of the next dedicated to the highlanders -with special attention to the tartan technics. (may be already done, then appreciate link). Nick
Another awesome painting tutorial Toby . Surprised to see you using brown wash on the skin , but it works well ! :-) Ideas for further tutorials . Hmm.. 95th Rifles Royal foot artillery Royal horse artillery Kgl Hussars Light Dragoons Light infantry Wellington British command staff Well you get the idea . ;-) Keep up the good work .
The first units I painted were for Halkets Brigade at Waterloo being :- 2/30th. Foot. 2/33rd. Foot. 2/69th. Foot. 2/73rd. Foot. I specifically mounted them 2 per base so that whenever we decide to fight Quatre Bras I could March them on the road in column of March that was around 1970. I painted them again in 15mm in 1976 I’m now painting them again with 18mm figures but no bases yet. I’m also painting a number of small units in 28mm for Sharp Practice as I only need around 50 figures of which some are Sharps mismashed unit of stragglers from Sharps Company. That should keep me busy. Let me know what primer you use?
Extremely useful. I hope to see more Napoleonic. Some artillery and artillery pieces would be nice. Can't find a painting gun carriages tutorial anywhere on TH-cam.
What a great video, and it couldn't have come at a better time! I've just started a diorama and I was in need of a little painting help, although I have to say I usually paint mine as the 5th KGL :-) Also you should totally paint an Irish regiment
i know its perhaps comparing apples with oranges, but for speed, with 1/72 figures the creases can be enhanced quite effectively with a simple slash of matt black. it will in no way produce the same superb effect, but at a distance in excess of a foot maybe on a wargames table, it is pleasing and better than the flat colour! again these are superb, thanks!
I have just started painting Napoleonic miniatures and found your videos really helpful. I'm currently working on a battalion of 92nd highlanders and found your videos trying to find a tutorial on painting highlanders. Your black watch tutorial lead me here.
Sir. If possible could you please do a quick tutorial on painting 1 /72 scale British Napoleonic Infantry. Your 28 mm are great but I have a huge collection and could use some help. Thanks
Superb tutorial. I followed it fairly much as said and produced the best figures I have ever painted. Many thanks for sharing your skills and I look forward to many more Napoleonic and, I hope, American Civil War tutorials.
Hi been watching you on youtube in the process of painting 28mm and learn how to paint the way you do on youtube. could you do painting step by step based on amercian civil war by perry 28mm. great work union and confedence
+Duarte Dias If you're using Vallejo I reccomend using Prussian Blue as a base and add sky Blue or Deep Sky blue for the highlights. If you want to go lighter add white.
Great tutorial, I'm starting a peninsular army shortly, can you recommend a triad for the off white trousers, I want to look different from the belts and rifle sling? Thanks.
Thanks for your comment. Try using Vallejo Light mud as an undercoat and add vallejo Offwhite to lighten for first highlight. Finish with Offwhite on it's own.
very impressive, extremely well done and worthy of a display case let alone a wargames table. it is however difficult to apply such depth if one is building an army from scratch and cannot afford this amount of preparation. never the less i would be proud to achieve this result!
What kind of glue would you use to assemble these miniatures? I've looked everywhere I can and can't find any references to what glue to use... any ideas?
I am a starting painter on Napoleonic British Waterloo infantry and I always do the 4th King's Own. And you should do Victrix French line 1807-1812 fusilier. Love your videos :)
Really impessive painting skills , can i ask why you don't mount the base of the figure on an old paint jar or similar ? Looks difficult to hold the way you do .
Try E bay I am not kidding a lot of figures there but,press the buy now if you want to buy or bid up to yourself,find a lot of 1.32,or call to arms,and Victrix now make a good 1:32 as well,and you can get bot these on ebay and Italeria
Personally I would be really interested in seeing your technique for white uniforms Toby..... Austrians for me...... I have some more work for you in the pipeline too.
John Wayne Everett Because black is a better "liner". You primer with black so you paint "inside" the black lines, & then the contrast makes the colors pop out. It makes better sense than to do it like this than to primer white then try to outline details in black. Some people even outline with a pen. So priming in black solves all that. :)
Best miniture painting vid on TH-cam. Watched the whole video. Very engaging. 👍
just beautiful. You have a graceful way of using the brush. A pleasure to watch.
Awesome! I like how you can paint something and virtually make zero mistakes while doing it.
Top notch once again, beautiful work👍
Great tutorial, very helpful for a newcomer to Naps. Is there a similar vid for French line/light infantry?
Thanks for this vid. Just an hour ago I started assembling some Perry Brit plastics. My first Napoleonic figs.
Excellent result, love the final colour tone...👍🏼
Fantastic...I painted an army when I was 16 and I want to have another go now I am older and get it right...inspirational
Thanks for this vid. I especially appreciate that it's a real-time vid, and all your comments and musings are very useful. Thanks for sharing your experience.
great video thanks allways wanted to do this hobby 40 years later here we go just sent for the British line infantry now the test begins
Thank you Phillip. Never too late to start the hobby. I hope you find the tutorials useful and have fun painting!
This has got me back into modelling 28mm now to dig out some brushes
Excellent walk-though, keep up the good work Toby

I have just started painting Napoleonic miniatures and found your videos really helpful. I'm currently working on a battalion of 92nd highlanders and found your videos trying to find a tutorial on painting highlanders. Your black watch tutorial lead me here.
How do you decide the various colours which make up the colour triads? Is there a list?
What do you use to clean your brush after each paint colous?
Sir.
If possible could you please do a quick tutorial on painting 1 /72 scale British Napoleonic Infantry. Your 28 mm are great but I have a huge collection and could use some help.
Thanks

Very good idears
What times should I go to in order to find how the gun is painted?
VMC 947 Red is now called Dark Vermillion
This may be stupid to ask, but what primer did you use?
Hi Toby, nice vid... but i have a question...did you use a black primer or just black painting?
Amazing!!
Impressive
Well done
Thanks!
very impressive, extremely well done and worthy of a display case let alone a wargames table. it is however difficult to apply such depth if one is building an army from scratch and cannot afford this amount of preparation. never the less i would be proud to achieve this result!
Very useful. 👍
What kind of glue would you use to assemble these miniatures? I've looked everywhere I can and can't find any references to what glue to use... any ideas?
For metal figures we use High strength super glue. For plastic figures we use plastic glue.
I am a starting painter on Napoleonic British Waterloo infantry and I always do the 4th King's Own. And you should do Victrix French line 1807-1812 fusilier. Love your videos :)

Cool
nice vid by the way
why not white for primer how come black is there a reason. .thanks...

It makes better sense than to do it like this than to primer white then try to outline details in black. Some people even outline with a pen. So priming in black solves all that. :)
Bravo. Now just 1999 to go.
great thanks
Thanks for watching.
I'm doing british line infantry from italeri british figurs are bigger than British and Scott's from the napolionic sires
They are the same size 172
Applying a first black color is a great idea. Thus the colors obtained are more luminous....🙄🤭🤫
