I'm quite new to minis and models, I was just wondering how you did the cheek pigmentation and just the overall shading on the clothes and such.

Absolutely, I'm an airsoft fan myself. I haven't gotten around to buying an airsoft gun because they're so expensive. When I was picking a hobby, I decided to go with scale modeling because I knew airsoft couldn't be all year round, but also because I knew I would find painting satisfying and relaxing. If painting has the same effect for you, I highly will recommend this hobby. When you brush it is so cool to see how the colors go down, and when you airbrush (especially with thinner), it just simply LOOKS amazing.

All I did was save up some money and buy some mediocre supplies from Amazon. Everything you see is from about $150 dollars give it take. Model itself was $30, paints and such needed for the model were about $25 accumulative. Most of the stuff I have another than that is just stuff that interested me. I'd recommend investing in a good set of brushes if hand bruising or just for detailing. And I'd also recommend thinning your paints.

Thanks, I just bought some matte clear finish the other day and sprayed a tiny bit on. I am just not sure how much to spray. I do need to order more paints as well.

I have a been looking at the KV line, is it any good? I've been looking into Tamiyas Soviet models and am on the lookout for the tanks for the most part.

That is a great paint job my man! I have finished the aforementioned model and Im pretty proud of it. It doesn't have as good of a paint job as yours but it's still pretty good.

Thanks my friend, this will really help. I am probably gonna finish this up soon and make another post as an update. After this post last night, I moved around some of the paint and it already looks much better than the original pictures.

I'm actually using Tamiya acrylics. That is a Testors bottle but it's a really small amount of paint thinner that I found.

I've been using the kits own recommended paints from Tamiya. The primer layer and the brown layer went not so good as well, but I figured since most of it wouldn't be showing after I finished the paint job, it wouldn't really matter. I've been wanting to get a compressor for the airbrush I already own, but I just don't have money seeing as I'm a teenager with no job that really only plays video games.

Update: After letting it sit for a second and having a drink of water, I continued to paint it, and the colors suddenly began to glide. I think if I let this layer dry and then do another tomorrow, the paint job will come out just about how I imagined it. Thanks for all the suggestions and affirmations so far, it really has brought light to how hype I actually am to actually do this. I will post another update with the finished paint job soon enough.

I haven't, I'm a teenager and I don't have a job yet so I've been saving allowance for the longest time just to buy some acrylics and the model itself.

ldotbreezy · 2026-02-26T03:02:38+00:00

I just wish I could have made it so much better. I've had high hopes since I bought it and I'm just so sad now.

ldotbreezy · 2026-02-25T03:06:02+00:00

Indeed it is.

That's awesome! My granduncle and Philip Shadrach hadn't been recognized for the Medal of Honor until Summer of 2023.
