pareho lang tayong baguhan. dami na akong nabasa pero di ko pa nasimulan pintahan yung mga 1:35 figures ko which i plan to put on my king tiger. you can find a wealth of info through the internet. subukan mo ito. nakita ko sa google:

cut and paste mo lang sa address bar.

salamat pre sa binigay mo,halos pareho lang din tayo nag search narin ako regarding dito pero diko parin maumpisahan gusto kupa makakuha ng iba pang mga tips. :-)

One word, practice. Yun lang. Basically yung pinost ni steelskin na links is detailed enough. Don't limit yourself to one or to a recommended medium. Try testing out on your own. Nakagamit na ako enamels, acrylics and oils para sa figures. Sa kakapraktis, nagstay ako sa enamel based paints.

salamat mga guru's at least kailangan tlaga practice,naka try nako ng 2 figures ipaint ang problema nga lang e pagdating sa mga shadow paint para maging mukhang realistic sya don ako sablay,siguro nga more practice pa kailangan ko at budget pra sa hobby na ito :-)

hehehe…ihanda mo na ang wallet mo! medyo magastos talaga. sana pwedeng kiddie watercolors na lang gamitin no? if you can afford it, i would suggest buying a good quality brush. ang laki ng diperensya lalo na kung fine details ang ipipinta. hindi ako mahusay magpinta pero nung mumurahing brush ang gamit ko, SOBRANG PANGIT lumabas yung figures. nung mahal na brush, hindi na sobrang pangit. PANGIT na lang!

bakit pre ano ba gamit mong brush ngayon?kasi sakin yong tamiya brush na pinakamanipis nila :-)

ginagamit ko ngayon tamiya saka bumili ako ng sable brush kasi ito daw ang maganda. kaya lang sakura lang ang tatak. wala akong makitang winsor and newton sa national bookstore sm north. winsor and newton ang isa sa mga highly recommended brands.

yung quality nung napintahan kong figures, it would be convenient to say that it was the fault of the brush (ahem, di kasi w&e!!!). pero to be honest, kulang lang talaga sa skills ang nagpinta, hehehe...baguhan lang din ako. second build ko pa lang so kulang na kulang pa sa praktis. kumbaga sa star wars, mga padawan lang tayo. sila shonen, myembro na ng jedi council yan.

Naknamputs Jedi council :-) :-) :-) :-) Cable, try to invest in different brushes. I myself had 00, 0, 2, 4, 6 sable brushes. Di gumagana dito yung "1 size fits all". I recently discovered na iba rin effect nung tips ng brush. Round brush are good for detailing, while flat brushes are good for large surface painting. Been using my brushes for 2 years na and they're sill kicking [auto-censored].

Oh btw, post din kayu ng tungkul sa sarili nyo sa fropiles thread natin

sir shonen_red ano naman ang tatak nitong sable brushes ninyo bukod sa binigay na brand ni steelskin? :-)

Drop the sir. Mas bata pa nga ata ako sa inyo eh :-) :-) :-) For teenee brushes, I use Tamiya's brush. Other than that, I use Sakura brushes.

ok salamat......

cable,

in case, you haven't seen it, check out mo yung thread about painting figures sa painting and airbrushing section sa forums d2 sa armorama. "tutorial on painting flesh" yata ang subject. mas detalyado. sayang lang di niya tinapos...

I use acrylic and oil for painting figures. I also use the same types of brushes as mentioned by SR. There several links here in armorama about figure painting. Try looking at the features section particularly figures...and also here

Hope this helps

mga guru's bakit karamihan sa ginagamit nila ay resin at hindi plastic na katulad na binibili natin?saka kapag plastic ba ang ginagamit mong figures ay kaylangan gamitan parin ng primer?saka regarding sa paint na ginagamit kung ano bayong nakalagay sa likod ng kit halimbawa yong DRAGON na brand ayun din ba dapat nyong e apply sa figures using MR.color or hobby color?sori sa dami ng aking katanungan gusto ko lang talaga matuto sa hobby na ito salamat :-)

Nope primer is not necessary, but there are some advantages of using primer....a) You can immediately see the imperfections like seam lines before applying paint, b) It makes the paint bite more.

Nope, I build dragon figs but I don't use Mr. Color. I use mostly Tamiya Acrylic and Oil paint. I use Tamiya for the uniforms, etc, and oil for the skin, head and some parts of the uniform as well. When it comes to uniforms color, you still need to research, don't just rely on what is written on the box because sometimes they are wrong especially German uniforms --- there are lots of variations such as colllar color (SS, Waffen and other military units), shoulder board have different piping colors too... yellow, pink, red, white, etc.
