+Max Brandt thanks Max, I've done a more recent face painting tutorial with a better HD camera that went up a week or so ago might prove more useful :)
thanks mate! I plenty of newer videos and painting tutorials with better video quality that be worth checking out, as they might prove more useful to you!
Normally I use humbrol acrylic paint, and oils. And by a mere coincidence I learned that there is a hobby shop near my house. And there they have this set, so your review was really helpful, thank you again and keep em rolling... Cheers mate...
just wondering if you would do some painting for me,or do you not do work for other people,im purchasing a very expensive tamiya porsche 959,and the interior/drivers need doing to a professional spec like your work,if you google tamiya porsche 959 you will have a idea what i mean,,thanks for replying shane,,
Hi Paul, I do take commissions from people and your in luck I have still have a slot for January - February as I tend to only to take a few projects at time ensure quality just googled the Porsche there its a beauty ! I would be happy to take on this project if you like. You can send me a private message on RUclips or to my email: ifonlycould@gmail.com where we can discuss the details of a potential project. Shane.
I feel like the level of contrast in the AK set is *way* too high, far higher than indicated on the packaging. I'm trying to achieve a much more natural, realistic look. A more subtle look, I guess. The "base flesh" is so dark I don't feel like letting any of it show through is appropriate when painting a figure as Caucasian... So I just wind up covering it up. I can custom mix the stuff, of course... But I thought I was buying a figure-painting paint set so I wouldn't need to. :) Well perhaps I can still make the set work for the kind of look I have in mind. (I'm still just learning to paint figures...)
Thanks for the demo, helpful as wanting to learn how to do. Look forward to seeing further demonstrations.
Thanks! I have full face painting tutorial on the channel using this set might be worth checking out
Great two part tutorial, Shane! Looking forward to when you paint the figure's uniform.

Donovan Bedford awesome !
Nice one Shane. Thanks mate
Armour Empire thanks Mark !
Excellent Shane!
Paul Alba thanks Paul ! glad you likd it mate !
Shane, have you tried using AK's paint retarder when you do faces? Supposed to keep the paint from drying too quickly and should enable some blending.
thanks for the heads up Larry, have never tried it before, but I think it would make a massive difference
Is that cotman w&n brush 0000 ?
I believe its a 000 or 00 can't really remember
Great info thanks.
hi shane,great work!do you paint tamiya driver figures + interiors for r/c cars?thanks paul
Not something I have done before but I would imagine its exactly the same as a 1/35 figure and interior. Why do ask mate ?
just wondering if you would do some painting for me,or do you not do work for other people,im purchasing a very expensive tamiya porsche 959,and the interior/drivers need doing to a professional spec like your work,if you google tamiya porsche 959 you will have a idea what i mean,,thanks for replying shane,,

or you could easily mix the colours to suit what you have in mind
Well after 5 attempts I beginning to think of throwing my F**king paints away ahhhhhhh so frustrating
keep at it, its pretty frustrating at first but in time it will get easier what kind of brushes are you ?
