Tyz Guide To Figure Painting

[Tyrel]

Now I didn’t take any more pics because I was trying to get him ready for a contest and for this I apologize. Here is how he ended up looking. You will notice that he now has some stubble growth. This is totally optional and was done by putting very small drops of Paynes grey and really pushing it and making it transparent. I also put a little more red on the cheeks and between the eyes.

I hope I was able to pass on some useful tips for you all. Like I said earlier, my way is by no means the right or only way to paint a figure. It's just A way. I'll do a step by step on 1/35 next. Thanks.

Ty, what can I say. This is a superb and valuable asset to us all on the forum and I know people will speak for themselves but I will say a huge thank you on behalf of Scale Models forum for not only a superb tutorial but so well demonstrated, illustrated and described.

A great piece of work. defiantly a 5 Star rating. Thank you.

Hi Tyrel

Thanks for the tutorial - I've been wanting to try oils for a while because I've seen some stunning results (yours included). I've now got a guide to follow.

Thank you so much and keep the great dioramas coming!

Cheers

I'm glad to have helped. It was the first time I tried something like this and it was fun. I'll definately do it again for the Panther diorama I'm working on.

Cheers.

What a brilliant article, thank you.

I have never attempted painting figures before but will definitely give it a try now!

I may even put a crew on my Schnellboote!

Superb, big thanks from me, I'll look forward to the 35th scale tutorial for tips when I tackle my Sherman with figures kit,

Painting figures scares me, as with any new thing.
