How to Paint 1/35 World War 2 US. Army Uniforms: PAINTING TUTORIAL 

I waited 3 weeks to watch this video, because I needed 33:30 minutes to rest without anyone interrupting me. It was well worth the wait. Thanks Shane

I used your method of spraying grey primer straight down over the black primer on my last figure and it really worked a trick! It's a Penn State Linebacker circa January 1987 and the pants and definition around the pads and belt look real. Thanks

*Half an hour to paint one figurine, yes, it deserves it because the result is wonderful! 😍👍*

Great work. Really like how you paint it to face.Hope mine turns out just as good.Keep up the good work

Fantastic tutorial, you're really motivating me to crack on and paint the crewmen for my current Sherman. The detailed description and tips you include in your videos really are second to none. Much appreciated.

Awesome video. Good job.

Exceptional work on that figure, you have surpassed pretty much all your figure painting results with this one mate! I know it is just a tiny detail, but i love the little metal chipping effect on the edge of the helmet. It looks just perfect :)

that cloth looks real!

Great to see that you're getting over your fear of painting in your shadows! An instantly marked difference in appearance. Well done! No need of washes and they don't work the same. Now You are in total control! Cheers Shane

Nice work! 👏 I like that you added in the shadows by hand, much more control over the finished look! Thanks and keep up the good work 👍

Sat at home after just getting out of hospital, to weak to do any modelling.. but this vid really cheered my up , loved it.

Great work Shane! Your videos are always great to watch. I like your idea of painting the metallic edge on the helmet, and also your approach to painting the goggle lenses. I'll come back to this next time I am painting a figure...which I hope will be soon!

Brilliant again Shane, thanks for all the inspiration.

Oh this guy definitely played stick ball in Brooklyn 😅 he came to life with your painting. I can almost here him talking about his lady back home. 😆

You paint in a very exaggerated style, especially the face and hands. I like to blend the flesh tones much more to create a more naturalistic effect. I would suggest perhaps blending the paint a bit more and see what you think. But the final result is very impressive and when viewed at a normal distance the figure no doubt looks great. Excellent work!

Cool video Shane Really interesting and fresh ideas about fig painting Cool !!! Love these tutorials!!

Happy to see a new masterpiece...

Awesome- masterpiece figure and masterpiece tutorial!!

Superb work Shane.

Another masterpiece, Shane, well done!

Shane your figures are outstanding.i enjoy watching your videos . have learned a lot .

Wow! Super work as always.

Nice job.Thanks foe sharing

Superb...

great work. I am not sure if I have such artistic skills to have that kind of finish.

Excellent work Shane really nice work

....agreed Shane! Great watch.....thanks

Looks superb. Really well timed as well as I'm going to be doing a crew for my RFM Easy Eight - so well worth watching again I think. Great vid, thanks for sharing.

Hi, it's nice work and fine finish ! I'd like to watch the next. Thank you !!

That's great shane. I struggle with US green. If you get the time - British tank crew or Soviet green infantry would be awesome!

That "shirt" is a jacket, he's wearing an M41 Jacket under the M43 jacket. M41 jackets were often a "pea green" when new and then faded to Khaki over time. For example, you could have done a very faded looking khaki on the M41. This tells you he's owned and worn the jacket for a long time and despite it being replaced by the M43, he's kept it to use as an extra layer in cold (late 44/earlier 45) weather.

Great tutorial Shane and congratulations on reaching 20k subscribers. The decals are a nice touch and go together perfectly.

Fantastic work Shane of all the videos I've watched recently your work is miles ahead of the rest. After a 10 year break to custom paint motorbikes I just went back to kit building and it's all starting from scratch. The last time I only used enamel paints and I didn't have access to the internet so I did everything in my own simple manner. Now I've taken it up for the last time I'm going to use everything the Pros use and keep up to date with what's going on here in Cyber land. I'm based in Tuam just in case you're ever passing by and I don't have a website but I have a fb page called Skulls and Flames Artwork in case you ever get bored, plenty of different and strange stuff to see there. Keep up the great work and thanks for the enlightenment on Acrylics, all the best, Daithí McSkulls.

Great tutorial ....congratulations on reaching 20K subscribers

Another awesome video, Shane! Very inspiring. I’m painting up a crew for my latest Sherman while I’m watching your video and I’m learning a lot from your techniques. Can’t wait for your next video.

I'm late to the party! Good tutorial man, he turned out really well. Cheers!

Another great tutorial Shane. Well done!

Amazing stuff bro,i build aircraft, would love to do some dio's.but my figures leave alot to be desired! You did the face so quick...dang. so humbled by your stuff man.maybe, if i keep watching...i might learn something.thanks for not being a snob with your skills.again..great stuff sir!

1000 thumbs up 😁😁😁👍👍

wow, I thought you actually painted the jacket graphics..fantastic.

My wife is a makeup artist for a film company and reckons you’ve missed your calling.

Mate you are a bloody Wizard. I only wish that we has access to this knowledge four decades ago when I was last modelling. I have just recently returned to the craft and have completed the build of an 1/35 Australian Centurion Mk 5. I'm going into the deep end and plan on placing it into a Vietnam diorama with suitable figures which so far have not been easily obtainable in Oz. Anyway, being ex Cent crew it's been a build of love. A lot of mistakes but it's looking pretty good. On the subject of this video, Tankies are either covered in sweat and dust or mud and rain PLUS, A LOT of oil and grease stains. Thinking into the future how do I go about reconstructing that look ?. Hmmmmm I have an 1973 image of myself and my Cent that I was going to post here but it doesn't look like I can ?

The M1943 jacket should be OD7 (medium green olive drab) and the 'M1941' jacket he seems to be wearing underneath OD2 (roughly sage green) and much lighter. The trousers should be the same as the M1943 jacket. The colour you've used for the 'M1941' jacket is about right overall for a jacket that had seen some use as they faded from sage green more to tan. the trousers are a little too dark. Yes, he is wearing two jackets, but I am 90% sure that the figure is modelled on a photo of a tanker in winter doing exactly that. No all US Army tank crew got tanker jackets, especially if they were actually tank destroyer crew (e.g., M10). I can't fault the shading, etc., just the colour choices a bit. P.S. I am assuming it's supposed to be an M1943 jacket, although the lower pockets are a little wrong as they look a bit like patch pockets rather than internal ones. P.P.S., the goggle surrounds were a medium grey, lighter than here. P.P.P.S, M1937 wool trousers would have been more common, but M1944 trousers, the counterpart for the M1943 jacket, would be valid for winter 1944.

nice but can you make a vid about 101th airborne how to paint. please, I want to make a diorama with the 101th airborne in normandy.

Thank for a good video. I hope my figure painting will be half as good. Why do you start with the head? any particular reason?

When will you carry on with the panther V looking forward to it as I’m building one of my own for an Ardennes diorama !

Maybe you could paint a British para

Awsome !!! Very instructive tutorial and a fantastic result as usual Shane. May I ask you wish hand brushes you are using ? they look absolutely great. Are they synthetic brushes and wath is the brand if you don't mind give me this information... Congratulations for your 20 K subscribers !!!

Hey Shane I watched this a second time and I want your opinion. Do you agree that the face is to red? Idk, but I just think it’s to dark red brown ish. Thanks!

Super work Shane. Where did you get you US army decals?

Superb work as usual. Did you consider weathering him up a little maybe?

Gr8 video M8...One question....Did you thin the gloss varnish before brush painting?

Forgive me but what did you say you used for his cigarette?

I paint us para chute but i like to créate a tutoríal how to paint parachute

Sorry guy, M37 uniform was a brown shade. The M43 uniform is very dark forest green. If you want to represent WW2 US uniforms,use the right colors.

What’s happening with the panther Shane ?

Love your videos, please do also a modern figure
