I will definitely keep that for future projects!

I need to improve myself with armor, it's my weakness for sure. What armor do you like? Absolutely love the p-38, beautiful aircraft

Mostly German WWII armor.@@shadowsixcreations425

I completely understand that. I have a lot of ailments due to burn pit exposure in Iraq. I'm always ill unfortunately but hang in there!

I'm glad to help! It's honestly fun to be able to give a bit more life and detail to the flight crew and the washes and shades really add a level of realism to them.

Lol I'm glad to.have your comments and views! It's fun to share my knowledge and love of the second world War especially. My grandfather was in the pacific theater in a submarine and my great uncle was a paratrooper and was involved in the battle of the bulge. I followed his footsteps and was a paratrooper with the 82nd airborne division. Welcome to the channel!

Doing OK today, surgery went well and we are hoping the issue stays away this time. Just angood amount of pain and exhaustion but I'm still kicking!

Thank you! It really helps me cope with the memories of the Iraq War. I started getting into models a few months after I got back and in the past couple of years I've gotten into it more and more.

I did a B-29 years ago and putting the aluminum down with a brush is not easy and definitely not my favorite. An airbrush or a good quality chrome spray can of it works well. I do plan on doing a P-51D with aluminum since it's been a long time.

Oh absolutely! That's how I got a model of the p-61 black widow and the other day I picked up a b-25.

I just realized I did say harbor freight! I actually meant hobby lobby, they had a good variety of trees, bushes, dead fall, and they even have diorama bases. Harbor Freight had a nice 6 piece tweezer set and a 12 piece file set. I think I paid about 8 bucks for those.

@@shadowsixcreations425 I have a Hobby Lobby very close by, but there are no true modelling stores that are easy for me to get to. There is a Hobby Town, but it is about 45 minutes of city driving away. Whenever I travel I always look for a hobby shop that is not too far out of the way. We went to San Antonio for a convention last Feb. and that's where I looked up Dibble's Hobbies and they had a very nice selection of 1/35 & 1/72 scale military models as well as diorama stuff.

So the citadel paints I get from the Warhammer store near my in laws, a local game store about 20 minutes away, or online. The tiger is 1/48 scale and the figurines are also 1/48. The mat and base were both at hobby lobby and the grass mat is great quality, durable, easy to work with.

It's awesome to hear from you as well! Actually the tiger and figures are 1/48 as well and honestly I don't think I want to do 1/48 figurines as much since they are definitely a challenge for my recovery hands!

@@shadowsixcreations425 I watched your most recent update for this build and it is looking good!

@@roberth5767 it's really coming together now! I actually just got some more corn stalks for the rows and I've got some diorama sand and rock to start the road. And right now I'm actually priming five other models for future assembly.

They add a good challenge to assembly, especially in 48 scale

I haven't experimented too much with it yet. Citadel rust paints are very vibrant but I think, for example, their dry brush rust paint will work great. Their contrast I feel would be fantastic for uniforms and some skin tones. I have practice models that I use to experiment on and once I get a good idea on how they'd work I will do a video. I plan to definitely stay with tamiya and vallejo because they have the historic line for world war one and two. I've met other hobbyists who don't like vallejo as much because the paint tends to flake off at time but I enjoy vallejo

I did try that actually! Way too wide unfortunately but the diameter of the vallejo bottles is right there diameter wise

I would agree with that scale. Nowhere on the package or instructions does it show.

They have a pretty good variety of world war 2 metal kits! The Tiger is without a doubt my favorite world war 2 tank. I have a couple projects I'm working on videos for and that metal Tiger is one of them so I'll happily start one!

Not quite, but they look similar! This one is the P-61 Black Widow

Spot on!

@@shadowsixcreations425 warthunder has teached me more then school

Nope! Looks close to it though!

Bingo!

I do the same thing a lot of the time, especially the head of my figurines. I will paint the whole head in its base coat and then snip it off. After that I'll clean the mating surfaces with a coarse hand file or sandpaper rod.

Oh fantastic! I'm working on a video now about some techniques for effects. I actually brought another German Infantry set with me and I'm going to start that one probably tomorrow.

Thank you, sincerely! I am definitely in a lot of pain but the VA hospital took amazing care of me. I had immediate improvement when I first woke up so im very optimistic and happy!
