- After a 4 year absence I am painting a figure once again! We will look at brush painting clothing with AK 3rd Generation Acrylics and shading flesh with some oil paints.
Nothing too special but maybe some of you can learn something new today. I will be painting more figures soon.

There is no reason for me to promote a bad product, as then I would not enjoy using it, not like the result on my model, and not be proud of publicizing it in a video. There's also no point in me doing this to keep up relations with a company if the only benefit would be getting more of the same products that I didn't like. I have not used every product out there, but from what I have used, I keep using the products I like, and that's why I use them in my videos. You can use whatever other products you would like to and you can feel that they are better - that is your opinion, and is perfectly fine by me, thus I hope that feeling is reciprocated.
Very good painting job after four years 😊😊😊
Really good job for four years great work
Just a tip. Panzer sholder boards would have pink piping.
Excellent my friend👌🏻👍🏻
That was impressive.
Yes please do more. With more steps and stuff so we can learn from a master
Looking great my friend, after watching this I might just try a figure.
I recommend you do! It's a little different than painting a tank or aircraft, but it's quite fun.
@@Panzermeister36 I plan on it, now to find the right figure.
Very nice , figures are very challenging. Thank you for the great video
Great looking commander figure, it will enhance the overal appearance of the Afrikakorps PzIII. One tip: you can mix a darker blue wash with acrylic gloss and accentuate the binoculars lens parts, it will make a realistic area and a nice contrast with overal flat paints.
If I ever try a figure I will keep this tip in mind.
Thank you for the good advice!
Good to see you venturing back into figures laddie! As you know, figures are the most enjoyable part of the hobby for me and I think adding these to your lineup again is great. All the best. Cheers!
Commander : Medic! quick give this guy binoculars
Medic: How would that help?
He won't notice his legs are gone! Duhz!
I'll shut the door on my way out great painting by the way buddy👍 O right door got you 🚪.
Its always nice to see how others paint their figures and this one looks excellent so guess what I'll be doing this weekend. Thanks Panzermeister👍
Really great info for us that paint models less often, like how Tamiya paints work better with an airbrush and how you handled shadows/contrast/details, use of oil paint, blending the glossy binoculars and tidying up errors. Thanks!
Chocolate chipping Brown.....Yum!
Very inspiring - gonna give it a go! Thanks for sharing your artistic work.
Yet again you make it look so easy. Easy enough so that I’ll give it a try. Good job!
Awesome job Evan! 👍🏆
Well done! Nice and fast way to paint a figure.
Wow n very well done it looks gr8 to me 👍🕊✌🏻
You are really becoming a master painter.
YES do more figure painting
Will do! Thank you.
Looks great! You make it look very easy.
Great work , very realistic painting and weathering !
Another great vid. Always look forward to Fridays!
Thank you! I think I will move to uploading early Saturday instead. It's easier for me to get content ready for that instead of during the week when I work.
You explain each step in a very relaxing way. The result is impressive! 👍 Thank you for this great tutorial! Greetings, John
Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. This is encouraging :) I will try to paint more figures soon.
Another great tutorial, thanks!
Well done mate! Its been a long absence from figures but its like riding a bicycle - you can´t unlearn it :) Looking forward to see more figures in the future, they spice up your awesome models for sure.
Thank you Michi. I hope to do more figures soon. Your videos are always great inspiration for that!
Tamiya paints are great for brush painting. Just mix with water. Try it. You will be surprised. I was. All the best. Great work.
Very well done
Well done buddy you did great job
Looking good!
Love this site. Really like the binocular lens. Did a artillery officer AFRIKA CORP out of squadron in action series Afrika Corp same light olive green.
That was great! I hope to see you do more figures in the future :)
I think he looks great. I think I might have painted his scarf red or blue or something, just to give a splash of colour, but other than that I think he looks great. Nice vid, thanks for sharing.
cygnusx10 but the figure is not Spanish
Panzer waffe piping (around collar and shoulder boards was Pink at the early stages of the war in Afrika. Also know that uniform supplies were slow getting to North Africa. The hat could have been black, as troops deployed with european uniforms.
Nice job
Thank you!
Another terrifically helpful tutorial, going in the saved folder. I've got a battalion of figures in the stash and piles of diorama dreams, but I'm a middling figure builder at best and haven't tried it in years. Maybe that Sdkfz.7 with the 2cm flak needs a crew ...
Great tutorial Evan! I am not good at figures, but I might have a try with your techniques. However, my shaky old hands and fading eyes might not be up to the task.
Tip for you thin your paint when doing shadows like a glaze and same for high lights and build them up, just look at your friend Small Soldier videos.
Thank you! Yes, I was watching some of Scott's videos while painting this guy. He is very skilled.
Try out the Citadel ink washes for figures. They work great for the details on figures. Better than oils.
谢谢！
Thank you so much!
@@Panzermeister36 Keep on the good work! Your skills are just reasonable and remarkable!
Hi, I'm waiting for this video. I think it's very fit to that diorama of Africa Korps. Well, 4 years absence, I don't believe it.
I'm looking forward to watch the next. Anyway, Master Box produce good figure, doesn't they ?
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed. Master Box do make some of the best plastic figure sets. I think only Dragon "Gen2" figures are better in plastic. Then of course, resin is a step above, but also expensive.
The piping around the shoulder boards should be pink not red. Red is waffenfarbe for artillery, pink was for panzer. Other than that great job
I have to say the subtle changes of the oil painted arms look more realistic than the acrylic body shadows?
I would have to agree. I can see why the cool kids use oils for figures so much. They're much easier to blend.
I would say an argument could be made you may want the contrast a little more so on clothes than skin.
With the Tamiya retarder the color are paintable with a brush
You must be part brain surgeon! I shiver like it’s 10 below and could never do that. 😁😁 Nice job.
Hmmmhmh ... isn't the german Panzercolor for badgets, collar-stripes and so on PINK ? RED stands normally for the artillerie ...
"I've still got my good vision cos I'm young so its not too hard for me" :) hahaha .... One of the main reasons I wish I were young again :) But when does "young" stop becoming "young"?
Well I am only 22 so I've got some time (I hope)!
Age is like beauty it is the mind of the beholder, old is only in reference to where a person is in life.
@@sugarhillsrr Not when your fingers seize up, or start to shake, and your eyesight lessens it's not. But that's what drugs and magnifying glasses are for.
@@I_Don_t_want_a_handle Our bodies send us a different message than our minds, Ah the joy's of old age, my dad never told me about this crap !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If this guy is a tank commander...in the desert...shouldn't he be more on the tan side of things? Skin tone is great for November in Russia. Lol. Generally it looks really good, especially for your first figure in a few years.
I think you're right. Though my black background does make him look a little pale, he probably should be more tanned. I'll keep the environment in mind more next time!
i think he looks tanned enough for the winter months of Tunisia which has a mild climate October-March

I have tried to find some of the Wilder products without any luck can you give me some advice on where I may be able to get them please?
Looks good! I’ve been thinking of trying the 3rd gen AK. Would you recommend it?
Acrylics are great for figure painting and can be blended - it's just a slightly different technique. Have a look at people like Duncan Rhodes, Angel Giraldez and Squidmar's CZcams channels (the miniature wargaming community is all about painting figures)
I would like to know how do you deal with all the liquid that first comes out of the Wilder oil paints? I would also like to know how much time you allow after the base color? So that the base color is dry before you put the oil paint on the figurine? I really liked the video and am trying to paint my very first ever figurine. So far with out any luck at all. I plan to keep trying just the same.
I bought that one shot primer to try it, the red oxide one it was ok to start with but it's not a nice primer! It really doesn't like the vallejo or life colour thinners I use it just clumps up slightly but more than enough to block my airbrush! Maybe it's something in the oxide one that's doing this I never see the issue with the grey or black
You're not supposed to thin one shot. It's supposed to be sprayed straight on. It's also lacquer based so mixing in a latex-acrylic thinner like Vallejo is not going to go well.
@@Panzermeister36 many peop thin it on CZcams ive seen and always works with them but I think your maybe right about it being lacquer based it does say on the bottle it's waterbased I'll try it with the AK thinner and see if that works better! My one needs thinned it's way to think for airbrush eh!
How do you guys find these stiff brushes that are small for painting like this? All my brushes are not stiff after water paint get on them
I just buy some 4-5 dollar brushes at the local art store.
Hi! You did an amazing job! Would U recommend Abtielung 502 flesh set? Thanks for any advice!
I can't recommend that since I'm not an figure painting expert or anything! But, in general, those oil paints are very high quality.
Panzermeister36 ok thanks for the advice! I really appreciate it! Keep up the great work!
Hey I'm just reattaching this video but i still have a question in mind. Can i clean up enamel products with odourless mineral spirits meant for oil paints?
Yes that should be fine. I use the same odorless thinner for oils and enamels :)
Hi again I have recently tried out the mig grey primer that you used in this video (mine is grey however) after it dried it cracked in almost all places, do you know why this happened, was the primer not mixed properly ? I need help as I can’t find a reason. Thank you
One Shot? Maybe it was applied too thick and wet, or it could be a quality control issue.
@@Panzermeister36 yep the one shot primer, so if it isn’t due to quality control then what should I do ?
Contact Ammo customer service is what I would do.
@@Panzermeister36 I bought it from a shop so ammo won’t be able to refund me or replace my item so if there is nothing wrong with the primer should I lower the psi and apply lighter coats giving them time in between to dry ?
If you want help love your figure painting look at Bill Horan he's got a couple of good books Glen borlotti has a couple articles and fine scale modeler about figure painting and a bunch on CZcams
Thank you! I will check him out.
if you really want to Learn to paint a Figure, Get hold of a DVD called Painting a 1/35 Scale Figure by Olivér Kovács It changed how my Models look with a Decent looking Figure,
The Guy you painted still looks pretty good all the same.
what about eyes I think a second vid would be nice since eyes are a major part of faces aswell
I will cover those once I get around to painting the next guy :) he won't have binoculars hehe
@@Panzermeister36 thanks chief your videos have been of immense help to me
