Hi,

Can anybody give me some links or tutorials on 1/35 figure painting. This is the first time I will be attempting this and there are too many links on the net and am pretty confused too on how to do it

Have you tried Youtube? I've learned quite a lot about building armor from Youtube videos. I'm sure it has some good figure painting videos.

Sudeep,

I'd suggest doing some research and narrowing the information you need into the type of figure painting medium (oils, enamels, or acrylics) you want to learn and use. See my post on this thread from a few days ago:

https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/177058&page=1

On reason why the advice seems so confusing is that there are different types of figure painting mediums and the techniques that work for one medium are not necessarily the correct / best techniques for a different medium.

HTH
