Of all of the videos that I've watched on painting model figures this is by far the most informative. A joy to watch.

Hi Shane - your uploads have inspired me to start scale modelling again after 25 years. Tried the winter and pea dot camo and was really happy with the results as you made it so easy to follow. Keep the tutorials going as they are really appreciated and enjoyable - thanks - Steve

Hello Shane, I want to thank you very much for your videos, I've always struggled with painting figures and just recently I came across your channel . Your work is absolutely amazing! You are truly gifted my friend. Your work has reignited my interest in painting 1/35 scale figures and I'm going to give it another go. Once again thank you for inspiring me. Please be well and safe.

Make paint more thinner , so the transition between highlights and shadows will be smoother
@longlance677 жыл бұрын
indeed, as you well know white dries very quickly if you apply too heavy layers it will begin to form a texture and undo your work, so thin layers is key
