Videotutorial: how to paint skeletons

29 March 2024 No re.

A while back, we reviewed the U-Rust kit from AMMO, which allows for the creation of realistic rust effects in a simple and effective manner (see more here). Capitalizing on the knowledge obtained from that test, I decided to use it to paint one of my Grave Guard units for my Soulblight Gravelords army in Age of Sigmar. This seemed ideal, given that these miniatures are predominantly clad in rusted armor! In collaboration with AMMO, I created three video tutorials featuring how to create rust effects using the U-Rust kit, how to paint bones, and how to paint fabric. The…

Videotutorial – How to paint faces in 28mm miniatures

16 November 2013 No re.

One month ago I prepared a videotutorial about how to paint faces, which was published in a new blog, ModelBrush, created beside some friends. And I wanted to share it in my personal blog, in order to complement another old article about the same topic, but based in a different painting style (in Spanish): como pintar caras en 28mm. The comparison between both techniques it could be interesting!. NOTE: set the quality to 1080p FullHD The face is one of the most important parts of one minature, because once it’s painted, the model finally “comes alive” . Therefore, it’s important…

Videotutorial – How to paint German Tanks in 15mm

2 November 2012 No re.

I have prepared a new videotutorial to show how to paint a German tank. I have chosen a paperpanzer, a Jagdpanzer E-50 from Heer46. The large panels and pronounce edges make this vehicle a perfect model to practice the “color modulation” technique, as you will see later. The camouflage I chose is based on a drawing I found in the 1945 German Colors book from AK interactive, page 61. Inspired by the reference to real colors featured in this book, I have used the corresponding painting set from AK, AK554 German Late Color set. I have tried to compress all…

Videotutorial – How to paint British infantry in 15mm

25 September 2012 No re.

Debido al éxito que ha tenido el video de técnicas de envejecimiento me he animado a hacerotro, en este caso sobre como pintar infantería británica de 15mm. Hacer un video de este tipo es bastante engorroso, ya que la cámara tengo que colocarla entre mis ojos y la figura, por lo que a la hora de pintar tengo que hacer un poco de contorsionismo. Por ello, cuando terminaba cada sesión de grabación tenía que retirar la cámara y repasar un poco lo que había pintado!. En cualquier caso, a groso modo creo que el video recoge todos los pasos correctamente.…

Videotutorial – How to paint an antitank gun in 15mm

8 September 2012 No re.

Hace tres años que hice mi primer videotutorial. Me habría gustado sacar más, pero por diversos motivos —principalmente debido a que es un engorro— nunca he llegado a ponerme en serio a ello. No obstante, aprovechando estas vacaciones y algún otro aliciente, decidí intentar hacer un nuevo video. En esta ocasión, además de explorar la técnica de la modulación, me he centrado un poco más en las técnicas de envejecimiento.   Base with Olive green (XF-58, Tamiya) First light with Khaki Olive Drab (UA 221, LifeColor) Second light with Olive Drab Faded type 2 (UA 224, LifeColor) Third light with…
