@@longlance67 hi Shane no probs the video's you do help people like me big time means I'm only just getting back into modelling after 35 years buddy.so learning all over again lol.
Fantastic build as always Shane. Enjoy your videos. I know the U.S. colors are a pain to some. I find the challenging and fun to bring out the greens, to make them pop. You've concord the color, very well done my friend.
that is true, I like the drabs and khakis of US gear can be very striking when do right, though I am still learning better ways of doing it with each figure
thanks Michi! was a great little project to work on, and got my mojo back for other builds! next video will be putting what you sent me into good use ;)
thanks Greg I have few more figure videos in the works so hopefully will be able to get some out over the summer. Also great work on your M10! looks great!
Great Tutorial Shane. That's an interesting and unique way of using the Goliath. I feel your pain, trying to keep the model in the frame while painting isn't an easy thing to do. I find when I'm doing this in my videos I tend to go into a trance and forget sometimes where the model is. I'm really trying to be more aware of what's happening in the frame now going forward. The project turned out really nice.
It was one of the reasons why I was drawn to this mini as it had so much character and really does standout on my shelf! Its the one thing that drives me mad doing figures is trying to keep it in frame and still be able to see what I am doing, the thing I've found that helps is find a spot that is comfortable to hold the figure, frame it and try not to move that hand too much, its not prefect but gives you an idea where your at
That’s what I try and do. I have my camera set up so I can see it out of the corner of my eye and can glance from time to time to see where I’m at. Hey I really want to do a figure collaboration with you some time. I think we’d work well together. I have some ideas.
Shane Smyth - scale models Iv never really bothered to do them in the past but I have started to recently and am shocked at how much better models look when given a bit of atmosphere to go with the weathering.
your very much right, adding a well thought out base can really bring a model to life, I love the idea of doing bases for all my work but unfortunately don't have the space for house them all so I only do bases every now and then
Hi Shane, fantastic video as usual. If I may ask, how to you soften the edges of the highlights so you don’t get hard edges? Thank you in advance for any advice
Hi Mark! so what I do to get smooth transitions between highlights and shadows is to thin the paint with just a tiny amount of water to make it somewhat transparent. So when I applied in thin layers slowly building up the colors focusing the most layers to the tops of creases ect you get a very smooth and subtle highlight transition
Beautiful work as usual Shane load's of tips in there for me I'm painting u,s gi,s for Greg Reilly take care my friend 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🐑😁✌
Hi Shane,I would like to ask if this figure should be available somewhere ???? We have a museum here in Belgium (Canada-Poland war-museum) and that is a very very historical figure and would do everything to have it for there..........I have search for it ,but no succes ,thank you very much

Great video, again! I’ve a question. Did you have to thin the Vallejo Matte Varnish before airbrushing? Thanks in advance.
yes you do. I tend to go with a ratio of 50/50 vallejo thinner to varnish
Hi Shane,I would like to ask if this figure should be available somewhere ???? We have a museum here in Belgium (Canada-Poland war-museum) and that is a very very historical figure and would do everything to have it for there..........I have search for it ,but no succes ,thank you very much
So the figure is available from KFS -miniatures based out of Poland from their webstore hope this helps you in your search
@@longlance67 thank you for helping me
Cooool :)
I'd question the wisdom of his ride ;-)
haha lets just hope that the Engineers removed the explosive before the Navy boys started taking them for joy rides haha
perfect job!!
