Great work Shane, thanks for sharing. 👌

[@longlance67]

thanks! this was a great little project to work on!

[@alexandrenogueira5378]

@@longlance67 These smaller projects are great for me because I want to start practicing. With your videos I start to assimilate information. So I appreciate your sharing. Many thanks Shane 👌👍

[@TheModelGuy]

Your tutorials are fantastic! I'm learning so much and finally picked up some 1/35 figures today to try my hand at.

[@longlance67]

thanks very much! great to hear your gonna give figures a go! let us know how you get on!

[@TheModelGuy]

I imagine horribly at first since it's such a different medium than painting planes and tanks.

[@longlance67]

@@TheModelGuy best bit of advice I can any new painter is not rush yourself and give yourself the time to build up several thin layers of paint which will give more control. Brush control and all that you pick pretty quick once you keep painting :)

[@TheModelGuy]

@@longlance67 I think I'm responsible for about 50 views in each of your tutorial vids haha. Thanks for the tips

Great Job Shane. Love the subtle details and shading.

[@bigsparky65]

Excellent workmanship Shane, i have learned so much from watching your videos. You make so a novice modelers can do these steps.

[@longlance67]

has always been my main aim to these videos to be as friendly as possible to beginners and take the fear out of figure painting

[@NapFloridian]

Outstanding Shane... I have never tackled a British figure but looking how you did it, looks esdy enough.. Thanks for anothet great video tutorial

[@longlance67]

British uniforms are prefect beginner subjects to work on they are easy to experiment with highlighting and shades

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Excellent video, clearly explained and nicely shot! Both parts were well done. Thanks!

[@longlance67]

[@timtheeagle1]

Absolutely fantastic as always buddy! I love watching you paint, you make it look easy! :) thanks again!

[@longlance67]

thanks Tim! it was fun challenge of a figure to paint as there are so many drab colors on this figure

[@uncle7215]

Wonderful video Shane. Loved the outcome. Professionally executed.

[@modart6339]

VERY nice Shane. Looking forward to dio.

[@ozzyo7287]

well done mate learnful as usual

[@longlance67]

thanks Ozzy

[@phayzyre1052]

Nice work, Shane! 👍🙂 Question: When adding your washes at 6:50 do you first clear coat the surface?

[@longlance67]

its only really when I'm doing oil washes on vehicles when I lay down clear coats on figures I use acrylic washes so I tend not to, but their would be no harm in adding a clear coat if you so wished

[@phayzyre1052]

Okay, thanks!

[@Keyswiz71]

A cracking piece of work Shane, I'm learning stacks from your videos! BTW the gaiters were coated in Blanco, by 1944 they used a shade called KG3, and the rolled item on top of the pack is a gas cape. ;-)

[@longlance67]

awesome! thanks for the info Justyn !

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Stunning video shane well painted

[@longlance67]

thanks mate

[@rolandoricardoinfantastoro2642]

Increíble, verdaderamente...es un alto nivel la técnica que posees...la mezcla de colores, los tonos, el repaso del pincel, las sombras, etc, etc. Me he quedado anonadado. Espero yo algún día poseer este arte tan perfecto, dando vida y presentar una obra maestra. Muchas gracias por compartirlo y mi enhorabuena...precioso...Recibe un cordial saludo desde Madrid. (Disculpa no hablo ni escribo en inglés). Te digo por tu canal.

[@longlance67]

Now there's a handsome figure of a man (lol...pun intended) love yer use of colour Shane, everything pops perfectly. Splendidly done as usual sir!

[@longlance67]

thanks mate, was an interesting figure to paint up

[@papasha1323]

Where can I buy the supplies that you use?

[@HamilkarBarkasScaleModelling]

absolutely gorgeous work here mate! when i saw your review of that fig some time ago i was very curious to see what you will do with it one day - and here it is :) it is a great subject, when it comes to the landings itself people tend to focus on omaha primarily.

[@longlance67]

thanks very much mate, I wanted to do something that wasn't another Omaha Beach project as there is far too much on that alone, and the fact that Sword, Gold and Juno were just as interesting and not to mention all have a massive amount of footage was recorded of those beaches so seemed fitting to represent them

[@kevinegan6876]

wow shane

[@longlance67]

thank you very much Kev!

[@lucdumadirand6550]

very nice

[@longlance67]

Luc du Madirand thank you

[@ncstonecrew]

HI SHANE, YUP TODD AGAIN. I'M GETTING BACK INTO THE HOBBY FROM GROUND ZERO, SO FORGIVE ALL THE QUESTIONS. WHICH PAINT SETS WOULD BE THE BEST TO START WITH FOR MY US SPECIAL FORCES/SEALS. I WANT THE COLORS TO BE CORRECT. MANY THANKS

[@longlance67]

What era are you thinking of uniform are you the of Todd? 🙂

[@ncstonecrew]

THANK YOU KIND SIR. I WOULD LIKE TO DO TIGER STRIPES AND GENERIC OD GREEN MOSTLY.

[@longlance67]

I say this set should sort your needs ak-interactive.com/product/vietnam-u-s-green-camouflage/

[@ncstonecrew]

AWESOME, THANK YOU SO MUCH! CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW YOU MY FIRST PIECE. REGARDS, TODD

[@longlance67]

Awesome Todd! looking forward to seeing your work, in case you hadn't joined I have a community page on Google+ where you can share your work and hangout! plus.google.com/communities/117953610355842330152

[@ncstonecrew]

SHANE, NICE COMMUNITY WEBSITE. DO YOU HAVE A TUTORIAL FOR PAINTING BRICK BUILDINGS? THE ONES I SEE ON YOU TUBE ARE NOT TO MY LIKING. NOT REAL ENOUGH. MANY THANKS

[@longlance67]

I shall look into it mate :)

[@Elfwingson]

Impressive! Question; all though I get why you’re high lightning the uniform but why don’t you just get all around with a over all dry brushing after the wash/shade? Thanks for your wonderful and fantastic tutorials❤️ (Also I love this new format with the light blue ”back drop” as it’s much easier to watch).

[@longlance67]

thanks Andreas! I am really happy with the light blue backdrop too, you could do a drybrush after the wash, which is very common in wargaming circles, however the thing with drybrushing entire models it is looks like you drybrushed it and not like natural highlights, only certain items of equipment I tend to drybrush but not uniforms

[@Elfwingson]

Ah I see! Make sense, mate👍🏼 Btw, I watched your Fallschirmjäger paint tutorial and I’m really REALLY impressed that you painting the rain streaks!😱

[@longlance67]

almost lost my mind painting them too haha

[@jamescarson5393]

You really need to write a book....

[@longlance67]

I'm no where good enough to write any howto's but maybe one day I will improve to merit it
