Congratulations Shane! I know I watched your tutorials over and over. I learned so much thanks to you.

Well done Shane on the 10,000 milestone, as you mentioned the water based fillers are brilliant & Mr. Surfacer 500 works well too. Looking forward to the painting vid. Happy 😃 modelling.

thanks Mark! I have been wanting to try Mr.Surfacer for a while as I would to give it a go for doing the textures for my Shermans. Stay tuned for the painting vid which should be hitting your screens in the next few weeks

I love this tutorial ! Thanks for allowing us to learn more of your tricks.. (you have a very lovely channel and has a speech with a twisty and beautiful accent!)

Shane..I watched your video of putting a airbrush set together...I bought a air compressor with all the features you recommended and it comes with 2 double action airbrushs...my question is this..price is not a factor..so what is the best and easiest airbrush to get...Thanks in advance....

@longlance67

so if budget is not a concern, then I would recommend harder and steenbeck they are pricey but are probably the best brushes out there and are easy to take down and maintain, also Iwata is very solid too and much more value for money they would be the two I would go for, I hear great things of Badger which would be easy to get in the US but have never used them myself but they are meant to be great too

What I love about Vallejo and Perfect Plastic Putty is you don't even need the water: just squeegee the putty in place and then wipe the residue off at 90 degrees to the seam. All you have left is a tiny thread of putty in the seam. You just can't do this with Green Stuff or Squadron Green.

super achievement there shane, 10.000 is a great milestone :) and absolutely deserved, one should add another zero in fact. interesting project, although dragon tiger kits are very popular i can not remember that i have ever seen someone tackling the crew figures that belong to it. will be great to see how this comes along.

Hi Shane. Have you considered using little shards of plastic shaved from the sprue and melting it into place with extra thin? I've had some success filling small gaps you get in figure assembly. Just a thought.

Shane Smyth - scale models Hello Shane! Your feedback is really helpful. Tamiya is small rather than Dragon big. This gives me the confidence to mix and match model brands correctly. I bought a tamiya schwimmwagen to match dragon figures and found the figures too big or should I say the car too small. All the best with your channel - I’m subscribed.

Hi Shane, really great video (as are all the others I’ve been watching over the last few days). I’m new to airbrushing and was wondering, when you prime the models do you thin the surface primer? Sorry for the noob question!

@longlance67

3 жыл бұрын

So I tend to use primer from rattle can more and more which is just sprayed in thin sweeping coats, primers from airbrush do require a little thinng to work best

"...what ever the hell they're called.." brilliant

9:40 i caught a fish this big... Also whilst your cleaning up the figures booty with a knife you say its a pain in the ass.... No sh*t 😂 They look good mate old video but just come across it 👍 again

Is this still on the to do list? I've got the same kit I'm thinking if starting.
