1/35 US Army WW2 | Painting My Way
Hello everyone, hope all is well? And modelling till our fingers are glued,painted and of course the accidental ouch of a scalpel to the thumb…we’ve all been there!
Anyway…this is my interpretation of how to paint us army in the ww2 era.
It might not be 100% on accuracy but I’m happy with what I’ve managed to achieve! That’s the point right?
I do believe this is a Scale75 miniature I nabbed off eBay, it’s a little gem! Well sculpted and bursting with detail!
So as always thank you to everyone tuning in and subscribing! And please like comment and even share to someone who might like this?
Peace ✌🏼

    Enjoyed your video and thanks for posting . I built the same diorama - more or less - last autumn with the STuG III G late production by Blitz/Takom kit and 3 figures from the Alpine range . I also used twine/hemp same as yourself but I 'untwined' the cut ones before gluing , tying a knot then using tweezers to achieve the desired effect. It is quite laborious gluing them to the base but after priming with Mr.Hobby mahogany primer the result was pleasing. I've now subscribed to your channel and look forward to your next upload .

    Great job! That twine method worked very well. I remember cutting up an old straw broom to put dozens of reeds in a marshy diorama scene. Thought I'd be cross-eyed by the end.

      Thank you! It was a little bit soft as I used natural wool couldn’t find any brown garden twine anywhere! Was crazy! But yeah my neck was so sore after! Oddly satisfying brushing it though? Haha
