I do appreciate that you've done this on a replica and not an original.

[@paulsawyer2326]

Hey Hank! Very cool project! Surprised by your project choice, nice paint job.

[@SpruesNBrews]

In a good way, I hope! I wasn't sure of folks would enjoy 👍

[@ada42klm]

Hi Hank! That was an awesome video, you did all that measuring and painting by just eyeballing. That's impressive my friend. By the way, you have a way with words, " See you on the Beach." Great Job. 😀

[@SpruesNBrews]

Thank you very much - I really appreciate it!

[@decoeric]

wow, that was really cool

[@SpruesNBrews]

Thank you!!

[@BoysOfCinnamonCat]

This is definetly not the video that I was expecting,but I’m not complaining :)

[@SpruesNBrews]

Hey, 1:1 scale is still technically scale modeling... right? 😅🪖

[@paulgdunsford7469]

Umm I think the captains bars are way too big sorry to be so picky

[@lawtongore7053]

I kinda thought so too... I was in the Army Infantry and the rank looked a little bit big??? I actually have a Captain's pin on rank... I won't go into how I obtained it 😂😂😂😂... Needless to say I still have the thing 😆

Hello, I have no idea if you are gonna read this, but could you make a video on painting a m1 to look like a medic. Just curious.

[@PVTLogan12]

0:02 yo nice collection do you heave any tours or not if no you should try and do one

[@seegurke93]

Great idea to do something in 1:1. Maybe its my Screen or the light but your helmet looks red and the reference pics I found were more like Orange. Grüße

[@SpruesNBrews]

Thanks! It is a little redder on my attempt, though I believe the actual movie prop was substantial more weathered. Mines still a bit too fresh! 🪖

[@tangodownmodels]

Shouldn't the triangle be Orange?

[@realMatchGrade]

Yes, the Rangers diamond is orange. Not red.

[@robertmunoz7543]

Ya think!🙄 Jman

[@insidemiladsmind5792]

Are tamiya olive drab paints accurate for ww2 m1 helmets.

[@13bravo72]

As Always nice vid!!Brother, you should get into WW2 Reenacting or some type of living history program. I believe you would really enjoy it and it can be quite the learning experience along the way😁..Go and find yourself a good quality, authentic unit to join. 🤔🙂😏

[@SpruesNBrews]

Thanks! Maybe one of these days - could be fun!

[@larryweaver1530]

Can you do any helmet and do you do them for anyone?

[@SherlockSpiner]

Now technically “1:1 scale” has scale in the name meaning it counts as scale modeling. Once I get my hands on a helmet I’ll be right back here at this video!

[@SpruesNBrews]

Haha that's what I was thinking! Glad you enjoyed 👍

[@AdamMann3D]

The diamond is orange man. Are you blind?
