Global Scale Modeller

hey guys! i finished my first 1:35 figure set. for me it was something completely new and very difficult. especially the eyes and the face. i'm happy with the camouflage and the equipment but i feel like the eyes are starring at me i really have to improve my face painting skills! does anyone know a good guide or a book? hope you like it!

Lovely work, you painted them very nicely!
i like the well done camo patterns in particular, its very hard to do.

Very nice, these figures look great and the camo is spot on

Any plans to use them in a diorama?

First effort? That's a cracking start! Looking at the camo, you certainly have top-notch brush skills. I know what you mean about the eyes, at this wee scale less is definitely more! There are lots of great tutorials on the web - just do a search for "painting 1 35 figures". You will see lots of approaches to the face. This is a good one - simple to follow and highly effective...

You will find a whole world of good stuff on that forum!

They look awesome! Loving that camp work

thank you guys! oh that link is nice! i already searched for figure painting but most hits were for 75 mm or bigger figures and were very complex and time intensive! i will do the faces of the figures again! they look like total retards

Face painting, like many aspects of this hobby, is a lifetime journey. Practice, practice, practice. Some of the best figure painters in the world work on faces weekly, just to keep their skills honed. I have a few articles in the library that might help. Let me know if you'd like a copy. Nice work on the grenadiers.

that would be awesome! yeah i think i still have to learn a lot! painting faces is a whole new aspect of modelling for me

Try Michigan Toy Soldier on you tube for a figure painting tutorial

Wow! Fabulous work on those figures ! I like the camo pattern you've applied on the uniforms.
Very well done
