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.

Those Germans turned out awesome. Great job, very helpful hints and techniques. Love the look of the camouflage helmet cover

Thank you so much for the tutorials! The one thing that has always kept me from doing a vignette, or a small diorama. Was the figures. Now I'm going to give it a try. Thanks again, Shane. Keep up the great work!

I drill and a glue a paperclip into the feet of the figures and pin them to the wood, failing that I superglue them to the wood block with a tiny amount of glue

hi Shane it worked face looks more real now also do paint over the face with flesh if you have mustache great video you have giveing me hope now I feel more convenient now made some mistakes at the start at to fling some models in the bin I think the more you paint the more you learn

before you add your wash do you apply a gloss coat first?

Hi Arthur ! in this case I did not, however when it comes to oils and enamels I always do. Though it is no harm to add gloss if you wish before you apply any wash to break surface tension

Make paint more thinner , so the transition between highlights and shadows will be smoother

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
