Figure Painting

[Guest]

technical...

iv always used Tamiya XF-15 (Flat flesh)

it never looks quite right when you apply it, but when it drys it brings out all the detail and turns out quite a nice colour

[Guest]

will it work on a 1/35 scale?

[Guest]

yes although you dont really have to do as many shades to highlight, lowlight...etc

1/48 really only 3 shades are needed, lowlight, the actual colour and highlight

hi guys new to the forums here. NO 6 very informative thread mate. some very useful tips there. technical for painting flesh i in the past have used white and then mix in a bit of red and a bit of flesh until i get the right consistency that im after it all depends on what look your going for and what kind of skin tone your after too. if your going for a darker colour try some brown shades mixed in . its not an exact science just experiment.

Hi No.6

Great thread on figure painting, I found it very useful thanks mate :emo1:

[Guest]

actually, I'm painting German Tank figures and they apparently wore black coats, pants, etc..

I'm wondering, what sorts of colours can I use to highlight the model? I don't think I need to worry about shadows because its black

[Guest]

Does anyone know what can I use to paint rubber parts (head, arms). I've tried acrylics (Vallejo) and enamel (Humbrol) but those do not stick to the figures. I've properly washed them and even sanded the surfaces, but still I don't get any paint to attach.

By the way the figures are part of the Doctor Who 'Welcome Aboard' kit from Airfix
