In this video, we're going to be painting a tiger stripe camouflage pattern on a US Vietnam War special forces figure. This tutorial is from the Empress Miniatures 28mm line of figures, and is perfect for fans of 28mm historical miniatures games like Bolt Action, etc!
This tutorial is easy to follow and will teach you the basics of painting a tiger stripe camouflage pattern. We'll start by painting the figure with the base color, and then add the camouflage pattern using a mix of different colors. We will also take you through how we painted various parts of their equipment too. This is a fun and easy project that will help you learn how to paint a tiger stripe camouflage pattern on your own figures!
This is my first attempt at painting any forces from the Vietnam war so if you'd like to see more be sure to hit that like button and drop a comment as to what you'd like to see next :)

Tha ms a lot mate 😊😊 I'm so glad you've found it useful! I'm tempted to give it a crack on some 40k miniatures but haven't picked up the courage... yet 🤣

Lovely tutorial! As I said before, modern camo patterns would be a great choice for tutorials. Russian digiflora is my favorite, needed for all modern games that use russians as enemies lol

Thanks for the tutorial, I am getting ready to paint my special forces so the timing is perfect! After that on my table is the ANZAC troops so would love to see how you paint them!

You're most welcome buddy 🙌 I'm so glad you like it! I'll definitely get some ANZAC troops done soon 😉

If you want a colour between Brass and Gold try some Vallejo 'old gold', works very nicely for belts of ammo and looks good with an Umber wash. Also bear in mind that half the figures in that SOG set are Vietnamese.

Thanks for the recommendation and I wasn't aware that they were Vietnamese... that is my bad and thanks for pointing it out 😬😆

@@paintingpanzers A good starting point for getting an idea of what these where about is; 'Across The Fence' by John Stryker Meyer. A very good read.

I love the vid!! My Catachan Veterans thank you. like using agrax earthshade on earthtone fabrics to shade. I find the overall temperature of the colours looks more organic.

That'll be cool and I appreciate the support 🙌 I can fully get around that, everyone has their own style and that's what you want. No point doing everything the same 😉

My 3rd time watching. I'm getting there slowly, but surely. Which video contains your tutorial on how you paint skin? I'd love to see if I could recreate that look. 🙂

@paintingpanzers 7 ай бұрын

Oh wow, thanks so much for supporting the video! I believe my 28mm Splinter tutorial covered how I paint skin. I'll actually be uploading a skin painting tutorial sometime in Jan as my technique has changed slightly. I'm still not great at Painting skin so I didn't want to make a full guide without it being decent 😆

Wonderful video! I look forward to going through your other videos. Thank you for providing the recipe in Key Moments. I've never seen anyone do that before. Brilliant. I hope this isn't a pain in the butt...For paint colors, you gave the Vallejo paint name AND numeric code. Awesome! You didn't do that for the AK Interactive Brown Filter, unfortunately. I wanted to price a bottle, but AK has several brown filters. Do you remember the exact product you used? Maybe you can treat Filters and washes like paint colors by providing model numbers in the future? It's incredible how many "how to paint camo" videos are videos using Warhammer minis or robots or anything OTHER than real human beings in 28mm. It makes a big difference, I believe. You can't paint camo incorrectly* on a Space Marine because it's pure fantasy to begin with...but Tiger Stripe camo DOES exist in the real world for humans and there are 1,000 ways you can screw it up. I hope you do well with your channel. I know I'll be visiting regularly now that I can get tutorials and uniform recipes for real modern/ultramodern soldiers. Thank you, very much. *Yes, I know you technically can paint camo incorrectly on a Space Marine...I just meant that colors and patterns can be anything, basically, because Space Marines don't exist.

WOW, thank you for your honest feedback! I truly appreciate the lovely words and your support 🙌 I believe the AK filter is now out of production but you might find it if you're lucky. It was part of the AK Uniform filter set. I'm out at the moment so I'll try find the number once im home 😊 I truly hope you keep enjoying my tutorials as I have plenty more planned ☺️ I completely understand what you mean about the Warhammer stuff too 🤣

@@paintingpanzersWas that a set of 3 filters? I see there is a product still available in some online shops called the Uniform Definition Filter Enamel Paint Set. I've never worked with enamels before. I just got involved with this hobby 2 years ago. Is there anything I should know about working with enamels compared to acrylics? Thanks. I joined the Patreon too. :-)

@paintingpanzers 9 ай бұрын

@@alb639 that definitely sounds like the set but it shouldn't be an enamel filter. The set you want is AK-3008 Uniform Definition Filter Set and it should be acrylic :) If you use enamel washes, be sure to give your model a coat of gloss varnish first as it'll protect the paint from the enamel wash :) Oh wow, thank you so much for joining my Patreon, it really means a lot!! :D

They look great! A couple of questions: -How did you achieve the bases? Your jungle bases look great! -What bases are you using? Been trying to find flat bases like that for my modern stuff, but the only thing I could find similar are Bolt Action bases but it's not economical atm to just buy the bases. Great tutorial, thank you for all of these

@paintingpanzers 8 ай бұрын

Thanks a lot mate, that really means so much 🙌 OK so I actually use Warlord Games Bolt Action bases 😅 in terms of how I actually did the bases, ill have a tutorial out soon but I do have a Jungle video tutorial out which is pretty much exactly what I did. The only difference was that I added a Vietnam pigment to the ground which just made it more red 🤭

@BOOMSHOTKPOW 8 ай бұрын

@@paintingpanzers Thanks a million for the quick response. Off to buy BA bases I guess 😅 Keep em coming for as long as you can. All the best to you! P.S. If you could do as many "modern" projects, specifically camo (another commenter mentioned Russian Digi-Flora I believe, stuff like that), that would be the absolute best 😭

@BOOMSHOTKPOW haha sorry mate 🤭 cheers dude!! Yeah it's certainly planned but perhaps in 20mm? Would that work for you? 😁

@@paintingpanzers I'm sure whatever you have to teach can be upscaled to 28mm which is my go to scale for Modern stuff. Mayhaps you can mention how to upscale in an upcoming video! Regardless, it will be watched
