Hello everyone! In today's video, I'll be showing you my grueling process of creating customizations and weathering on a 1/6 scale figure and diorama, called "Battle of Hue." To build this figure, I used a combination of loose parts from various brands such as Hot Toys, Soldier Story, Dragon, DiD, ACE, and Toy Soldier. The video tutorial is divided into two episodes, so make sure to check it out! I hope you enjoy it! Cheers!

🇻🇳 The Battle of Huế, also known as the Siege of Huế, was a major battle of the Vietnam War that took place during the Tet Offensive, in 1968. It was fought between the North Vietnamese Army and the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN), supported by the United States, for control of Huế, a city in central Vietnam. The battle lasted for over a month and resulted in a North Vietnamese victory, but at a high cost to both sides. The fighting was some of the most intense of the war, and large parts of the city were destroyed.
◉ what is Weathering in the miniature figure?
Weathering for military figures refers to the process of adding realistic details and effects to miniature figures that depict soldiers or military vehicles. This can include things like battle damage, dirt, mud, and other elements that would be found on a real-life military object that has been used in combat or on the field. Weathering is often used to make the figures look more lifelike and to enhance the overall appearance of a model or diorama. It is also used in historical reenactments, to make the figures look more genuine and accurate.

Love seeing videos like this! Could you make a video weathering a more modern soldier? especially something like E&S multicam.
I appreciate your kind words, mate! Yes, I can make something with a multicam camouflage. 👍Actually, I've been preparing my next project using a woodland camouflage, similar to that of special forces ODA in Afghanistan. Next, I'll make another modern soldier with a multicam pattern. Keep watching 👊
Awesome job! Well done!!

Are the trousers dragon ? grate work, by the way 👍
Thank you for your support, man! The trousers are from Hottoys. 👍🏻 Cheers!
Hello, I wanted to know where I can buy those boots and clothes. Thank you very much and congratulations for the video!
Hey, mate! You can probably find a lot of loose parts on Monkey Depot, Black Ops Toys, or Echobase Toys. Thanks for watching!
I wonder how much they are for Christmas
That's a good question, man... Have a great 2024!
How did u fix the flaking of the leather boots? The video only showed the part where u glued the soles😅
Hey, man! I just replaced the sole and then I weathered the leather. I used a flaky boot sole (ACE) on a Toysoldier leather boot... 😁👍
@@biginjapan.miniatures Ahh i see, I missed out that part. So There's nothing we can do about the flaking(ace boots) right? Also will we get the same effect as the mink oil with vaseline?😂
can I ask, what does the mink oil do? does it protect the weathering effects or just to keep the fabric pliable?
Hello mate! the mink oil is great for getting clothes looking grimy, dirty and stained or something like that. Super useful 😉
Too bad about the boots. A lot of my older figures have crumbling fake leather boots.
Totally agree with you. I got frustrated about these flake off. Lately, the only manufacturer doing a good job on leather boots is DID. I hope they make more Vietnam figures.👍🏻
