How to paint

This is my build of Alpines 1:16 Scale tank commander. Overall the Alpine resin kits are awesome, fine details and all components are well designed and have a good fitting. This means that there is less effort involved in cleaning and reworking the parts. Always a pleasure to build.
I hope you enjoy the result and see you next week with a new project.

Incredible intricate work. I notice no one sells pre painted ww2 figures on eBay or anywhere else for those that don’t have airbrush & paints, or the know how and skill, or even time to paint their figures. There’s a fortune out there to be made for anyone painting 1/16th scale ww2 figures and selling them pre painted to the public. There are never even any second hand pre painted figures on eBay. I can’t understand why. I own a remote control Tiger Tank at 1/16 scale and would love to make a ww2 diorama with it, but I just cannot buy the painted figures. They would look very poor if I painted them! But there’s definitely a market out there crying out to be exploited, for pre painted model figures.

Hello my friend, the problem is, that figure painting (not Warhammer 40k speedpainting) is very time consuming and efforts a lot of accuracy and material. Colors are so expensive today. When the figure is done nobody wants to pay for the working time of the artist. My figures need between 20 and 30 workhours before they are done. Who wants to pay 1000 or more dollars for one figure?
Some modelling shops in the internet offer a painting service if you want your figures painted. Sometimes they are not so expensive but they have a less accurate painting condition. Maybe you don´t need or wish a high quality standard, this could be your chance to save a lot of money. Search for internet shops in your region and ask for figure painting service. I wish you luck and thanks for your nice comment.

Moin Klasse !!!!!

Danke schön😃

[@darrylcarpenter903]

Excellent work but in order to duplicate, it would be helpful to know the specific colours you used

[@DIORAMUS-]

Thank you Darryl, I'll pay more attention to that. In most cases the exact color is difficult to define because i mix many different colors from different manufacturers right before I paint it on the object but I'll think about how I can better incorporate the color selection into the videos without making it look like advertising.
Please give me time. :)

[@darrylcarpenter903]

@@DIORAMUS- Absolutely I will. Many people use Vallejo but the paint is probably similar in colour to most acrylics and mixing is purely qualitative. The colour name would just be a jumping off point for most. Thanks for taking the time to consider my suggestion and will look fwd to more painting from you.

Hello Friend! Where can I buy this model figure? Can you attach the link to the website?

[@DIORAMUS-]

Hello Ati, please look here:

You can also search for Alpine Miniatures on ebay. I hope you find what you want.

Co za bzdura. Pancerniacy nie nosili tych odznak za zniszczenie czołgów.

[@DIORAMUS-]

Załoga czołgu może być również rozmieszczana pieszo. Zgadzam się z Tobą, to trochę mało prawdopodobne. Ale ja tylko namalowałem tę figurę, a nie ją wymodelowałem.
Miłego dnia, Marcin.

[@marcinjabonski8775]

@@DIORAMUS- Dziękuję za wyjaśnienie. Sama figurka wykonana wspaniale. Zazdroszczę umiejętności.

Życzę miłego weekendu i dziękuję za pochwały, Marcin.
