I've found that it works better to paint the webbing straps and pouches after the camo pattern is laid down - that way you can just paint over the straps to ensure that the pattern that would be 'under the strap' matches what is on either side.
@GWNDad Thats definitely the way to go! Plus remembering that all uniforms have seams, lime any other clothing, so the pattern isnt seamless.
I agree
Yes. My thought is to paint from the deepest parts and upward (except for skin). So first I might paint a tucked in scarf, a bit of a shirt showing. Anything under the main pieces of clothing. Depending on the style I paint shoes or boots.
Then I paint the uniform and make sure to make it look like the pieces are sewn together if it shows in the camouflage pattern.
Third step is straps and equipment.
Finally I paint skin because that is the slowest and most careful part of the painting process.
Thanks for the info.
I hope everyone had a great Christmas.
Thanks for watching!
I’ve just started building figures, and all your tutorials have been super helpful. Thanks!
I would purshase these military miniatures to support your channel!!!!
Thanks Hank! And Happy New Year! Looking forward to really getting back into this hobby once again.
Epic! Thank you so much!
Excellent !! Love the Stug
Thanks! I'd like to build another one soon!
Hi Hank
Thanks for sharing another one of your great tutorials mate, bloody love it!
Thank you sir! Glad to hear you enjoyed 👍
Great video and tutorial as well. Well done.
Thank you!!
Hank Very nicely done and fantastic presentation. Happy New Years.
Hey Hank - another great video, very helpful.
Thank you! I appreciate it 👍
Thanks Hank. Happy New Year 👍
Thanks for watching & Happy New Year!
Nice job!
Thank you very much!
Would really love to see you doing different versions of American uniforms especially those used in the Pacific campaign. Like Saipan Guam Philippines and Okinawa
Great idea! Thanks 👍
Love the vid Hank,very nice painting tutorial 👍🍻
Thank you very much - glad you enjoyed! 👍
Thank you for this tutorial it is very helpful 👍
Glad to hear it - thanks!
Very nice tutorial hank.
Thanks very much!
Great videos man 👌🏽 wanna see more cool tutorials
You've got it! 👍
Difficult camouflage to reproduce, especially in miniature. Very well done Sir!
Nice video. You made that look so easy to reproduce
Give it a go! Practice makes perfect 👍
Fantastic work, the camouflage is spot on! These videos do a great job to get you inspired. I've done some research but I want to get this question out here anyway, regarding the vanish procedure; can they be applied to the figure by using a brush with a fairly decent result?
Keep it up!
Hank, awesome recreation , I've got to try that black base coat and wash technique. Any word on those Tamiya kit releases. I signed up for notification but no word yet, of course Christmas drained the "stash" budget but I'll find a way... Happy New Year , anxious to stay in tuned with your 2023 videos
Thank you! And no - still waiting to hear about those new Tamiya kits!
Hank, I really enjoy your channel and content. I think your completed work is very very good and I've benefited from watching you work. I don't know how you manage to get such great results with those hooked point paint brushes! I hate when my brushes begin to curl, do you use natural or synthetic brushes? I find that the synthetic brushes seem to curl faster with the acrylic paints, don't know if that's a fact just my experience. With that being said I like to use sable brushes for fine details because they seem to respond better to a good brush soap that also conditions them. I put my brushes away after a painting session with a generous amount of brush soap in them and form them to a point the soap will hold that point and rinses out completely at the start of my next session. I use "The Masters" brush cleaner and preserver its not a perfect solution but I've had very good luck with it, you should give it a try it's pretty cheap, less than a red sable brush.
Great tutorial, the only thing I personally would have done differently would be painting the lightest color in smaller spots and blotches
Osprey have a great book on paint different German ww2 camo.
Hank. Have you previously done or would you consider doing tutorials for the spring and pea camo uniforms?
Are you going to the spring version of this in future?
So I am assuming that the technique would be the same but what colors would be used to replicate this camo in the spring/summer variant?
Hi hank
Can you make a tutorial for painting camouflage schemes om german armor because that is my one of my big goals to achieve
Thanks for the video!
I do sponge chipping on my armor models, have you ever tried that to apply multi-tone camo on figures? I haven't myself, so I don't know the outcome. I look forward to your next video.
Thanks for watching! And that sounds like an interesting experiment... I'll have to give it a go! Thanks 👍
I've done it - it doesn't replicate the historical patterns very well (too random), but has a bit of utility in generating the random patterns that modern digi-cam has.
Great video!!
I have been trying to find an in depth tutorial on how to glaze miniatures( how much to thin the paint how many layers of paint etc) and was wondering if you would consider it as a video idea
Thank you! Check out my "How to Paint Scale Model Figures... Made Easy!" video - I go into glazes a bit!
But I have got a tamiya 1/32 f4u Corsair and a US marine corps pilot tutorial would be helpful as I am struggling to get contrast. also what ratios of thinner/water to paint do you use?
Sorry I might have sent another of the same question and now I’m sending another comment about why I’m sending more comments
Great technique Hank, thanks. You can Uncle Martin a run for his money. Take care, Ed
Thanks very much!!
Quite wonderful, well done sir. I am wondering: how long have you been doing this? Is it Art House, do you have an art degree, do/did you attend college? advanced level?l
Bob

Thank you very much! I've been modeling for about 5 years now - I do have an art history degree, but not related to this at all. Just a hobby! 😁
@@SpruesNBrews oh! My second wife had an art history degree, she really motivated me. Great fun! But you are just a natural then?
Bob
Real
Thanks!
@@SpruesNBrews yes
I can't believe your painting the German thought you didn't build German stuff
I build plenty of German stuff 👍
@@SpruesNBrews I saw a video of yours one time were I believe you said you prefered allied stuff oh well great work.
Great tutorial video, Hank. Lots of good content on your channel. I would like to help cross promote you on my RB1S social media. Keep up the great work 👍😎 ~ Rob. Cheers 🍻
