Scale Modelling WW2 1/35 German Camouflage Uniforms & Scale model tutorial videos
From Plastic Invasion
Plastic Invasion's Kickstarter Campaign
After almost four years of working on their first products, the team behind Plastic Invasion are now close to launching their campaign on Kickstarter.
Their collection will contain a book and (separately) a total of 4 tutorial videos (two of which are already selected). The videos will guide you through the complete process of creating highly realistic models in a total of 200 minutes of detailed footage accompanied by an English commentary.
The Book: Scale Modelling WW2 1/35 German Camouflage Uniforms
The new comprehensive monograph from Plastic Invasion maps a total of six camouflage patterns used on german uniforms throughout the war and describes how to paint them with acrylics on figures in 1/35th scale.
Some images from the book:
In Plastic Invasion's upcoming Kickstarter campaign, the book is focused on Fallschirmjägers, it wasn't hard to figure out what to do next. They had the unique opportunity to take pictures of an iconic weapon - the FG42 to include in the study.
The book has quite a unique concept. The authors worked with real actors in all chapters. They have also used real locations and studio environments for a perfect presentation of all camouflage patterns, equipment and weapons.
The last part of each chapter is then devoted to the painting of the figure and the systematic presentation of painting techniques in step-by-step articles.
The first two video subjects (4 in total - 2 still unannounced):
Pz ll Ausf. C
The first two videos are focused on building a light tank Pz II Asf. C in a version of the French campaign of 1940. In these tutorial videos, they show you not only the building process with many tips and tricks but especially the painting and weathering of the popular Panzergrau colour.
This includes the pre-shading, colour modulation or rust and mud imitation.
Me 262 Schwalbe
In the same way, we will introduce you to the building process of the model of the first fighter jet in the world, the Me 262 Schwalbe.
You will get acquainted in detail, for example, with riveting the surface of the model. The video makers introduce you to how to work with resin parts or how to faithfully represent the cockpit of an aircraft. The selected camouflage and marking will represent the aircraft from the days of May 1945.
