thanks Ian ! its been a while indeed my friend !
Another great tutorial my friend :)

Thats nice mate

I've been painting miniatures in all scales and just never really saw the reason for painting the flesh first. Ipersonally don, because wrecking the flesh after doing so much work is annoying, where as I find it easier to correct any mistakes on fabric. Guess it's just how my brain works! He looks great brother!
I think its really done to just using whatever method is most comfortable with you, I tend to do both; painting the flesh before or after the uniforms. In my tutorials I pained the flesh before to save time as it also makes to nice focal point as the figure gets painted
Great job 👍 just wondering what was the music your used for the end presentation of the figure ?
I believe its from medal of honor I think
brill shayne as usual
thanks mate :)
shane.
Excellent workmanship, video Shane. What size brushes do you usually use to paint figures. What do you use to hold them down on the lid.
thanks Jeff ! the brush sizes I normally uses are 4, 3, 1 and 0 rounds they tend to get most jobs done, as for mounting I normally used superglue to glue them to caps, or a paperclip to mount them on the cork
really enjoy your channel, and look forward to your figure painting. I have millions of questions. Africa is my favorite builds. but my hardest is winter, and the Germans had so many different styles, in clothing. hell even rabbit fur, any paintings that you could bring out. of the heavy winter outfits?.
hey Clayton ! I funny enough have planned that the next video is gonna be how to do paint white winter reversible jackets as you are the second person to request a winter uniform video so I shall not disappoint ! ;)
Shane
Ha! We think alike, Clayton :)
Great minds think alike ; ) funny I have questions for you to, on the stug f you just did. Haha.
Clayton McClain should have the tutorial up soon....I had to reload it cause I didn't like the audio quality so I'll release it soon.
Not! I get a lot of very good info from you guys . My favorite tanks are the tiger initial production, and the stug III's, and I've been building for forty years and I'm always learning. Shane lm looking forward to that winter figure, the stug video panzermeister., and anything on the Tigers you bring Adam, really looking forward to those builds halftrack/tiger.
What color numbers did Vallejo use? In the future I want to start painting figurines and doing this with the help of paints Vallejo. First of all, I just wanted to start with the Africa Korps.
can't quite remember off the top of my head, but if you google Vallejo Panzer Aces Africa Korps Tanker uniform you will find it
Hi
Could you please list the paints in order? I’m having such a hard time doing figures. I enjoyed watching your videos.
Thanks
The colors I used are Vallejo Panzer Aces Africa Korp Uniform and Africa Korp Uniform highlight
Shane Smyth - scale models what numbers are those?
Отличная работа)))!!!
thank you !
This is very educating video but ım curius about the painting flesh like this figure. While ım building a dak Dio. ıf you would add flesh painiting parts thats would be great because like everything fleshes change with weather. And ı want to see how you apply this changings.
Sorry for bad English. If you reply ı would be very happy. Thank you.
I have a video on how I paint flesh which is the same for all my models, though for painting this figure I added a little red or red brown into the flesh to give him a sun burned look
now is this kit plastic or resin? ...and can you use regular old artist acrylic paints I have a beginner set of paints and cant seem to get the results that you do.
this figure is a plastic from a Tamiya set, yes you can use artist oils, if you they do not behave the way you want them, it could be down to several things. One is the quality of the oil paints, if they are very cheap under ten euro for example the quality of pigments may be poor, the artist oils I use are midfield in quality with a set got for 20euro. Thinner also is important I use artists white spirit or turpentine, thinners must be solvent based and either artist or model making grade (sold by model companies) don't not use DIY spirits as it much stronger and will melt through varnishes and even models
hope this helps
Yes they are a beginner set so I imagine they are not the greatest in quality..nonetheless I'm having fun with them keep up the great work you are inspiring me to be a better figure painter and thanks for the quick reply
that's the main the thing, as long as your having fun you'll learn pretty quick and enjoy it, as for the paints, sorry I thought you were talking about oils at first sorry, for acrylics you can normal old water to thin them, my experience of artists acrylic is limited as I could never get them to work, you can get your hands on some model paint sets from vallejo or any other brand I would recommend that, though I understand if they are difficult to acquire
Just one suggestion should have put a paint list up, otherwise great,
Thanks great advice, I've begun to do just that in my newer tutorials
can someone tell me do i seal the figure first and then apply the shading? doesn't that stuff eat into the paint?
the shade is water based, so it won't effect your paint, just ensure that the paint is fully dry before applying it
Good job.If the uniform was khaki color would a brown wash been used as opposed to black?
might be worth a try
Rown of varying intensities works for khaki. Experiment with it. All depends on how intense you want the contrast to be! Black is just too stark tbh
What vallejo paint can I use if I don't have panzer aces, thank you
I will have to look into it and get back to you
@@longlance67 thank you, that would be great, I've only recently started modeling and I'm on a bit of a tight budget, I have a lot of vallejo paints but none of the panzer aces sets, I find the way you explain things and show how and why you do it very helpful, thanks again, regards, Allan

Vallejo Model Colours Box Ref 70124
70.343 Shadows Flesh {Undercoat}
70.803 Brown Rose {Lips, inner ears}
70.835 Salmon Rose {Cheek rouge}
70.860 Medium Flesh {Base layer}

70.955 Flat Flesh {Highlights}
70.845 Sunny Skin Tone {Blending & highlights}
70.815 Basic Skin Tone {Mid highlights}
70.928 Light Flesh Tone {Top highlights}
These are what i use Allan - Shadow Undercoat, Medium Base layer, then Dark on lips cheeks forehead and jawline. then pick the highlights as needed, (i.e. a touch of Salmon in the highlights gives a faint sunburn effect.
