Thanks for the great video series and looking forward to the next. Just added this kit to my stash. Now to add some AM and Canadian decals. Cheers from 🇨🇦
Excellent video my friend always something to learn from your videos the pin wash looks great really makes the parts pop looking forward to seeing it completed have a great Christmas and new year to you and your family 👍🙏
thanks mate! Glad you are enjoying this series! Hopefully I'll have the last episode up for it just after Christmas. Hope you and yours have a lovely and safe Christmas too mate!
Thank you mate! Really glad your finding this series a lot fun, as its been so much fun for me to work on it, as the M8 is a classic Tamiya kit, one I always passed by in model shops and was always like I need to build that sometime. And I am so happy I finally did as its such a little gem lol thanks mate :)
Great work Mate well worth the wait. I've stayed away from Vallejo paints preferring my Tamiyas but I'm going to have to try your method of thinning them & give them a go. Stowage looks great nice effects too. Very inspirational video thanks for sharing. Stay safe. Steve.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it! I tend to use Tamiya and Vallejo as my main paints for my projects, they both have their strengths. I would recommend giving Vallejo a go with the airbrush and see if it suits you, they are pretty versatile once you get used to them.
Hi Shane, that is absolutely fantastic build so far, I look forward to the next update, I hope you and your family and friends have a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year, very best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia.
Thank you! Glad you guys are enjoying the project so far! I am just beginning to create the first layers of dust on the M8 at the moment, so hopefully the next the episode won't be long I used to have a Patreon but it never really took off, so I closed it down some time ago.
Hi, do you varnish the model before applying the oils and the decals? If so what type? I've been told that you should use gloss for pin washes etc but semi gloss or matte for a dot filter with oil? Any advice would be much appreciated? I've subscribed to the channel.
Nicely done, Shane. Thanks
thanks mate!
Super work, there!! Nice job, Mate.
Thank you Rick!
Very nice work, Shane.

an excellent job, the modeling of rucksacks with the washes serves as a reference.

Thank you my friend! I hope you and all yours have a nice and safe Christmas from us here in Ireland!
I believe US tools were painted olive drab complete nice work Shane
Yes that I am aware of, though I like to paint mine up with a wood finish as a personal taste
*Such a nice result, weathering is long and repetitive but very good!*
thanks, its an involved process to be fair but my people like to see the whole process for reference
Tight result, waiting for the weathering! Are you on Patreon?
Thank you! Glad you guys are enjoying the project so far! I am just beginning to create the first layers of dust on the M8 at the moment, so hopefully the next the episode won't be long
I used to have a Patreon but it never really took off, so I closed it down some time ago.
awesome. which figure you used ?
Its is the M8 crew set from The Bodi
I wonder how long it took you to get that result but it looks really amazing
It took about two weeks worth of a few hours at the bench at a time, I say excluding drying time it took about 14-16hrs
What are all the materials you use?
Before using the oil wash did you seal the paint work with varnish on your stowage. Thank you.
One of my favorite vehicles, lots of details to pop out and catch dirt etc.
What happened to the sound on this video?
seems something happened with the audio settings as exported possibly

I tend to gloss varnish my model with clear gloss or Vallejo Premium Gloss ready for decals and oil dot filters
Love your videos but please try and do something to bring the audio volume up. I can't hardly hear a word you're saying.
I will sort it going forward thanks
Great video but can't hear anything
noted, will sort it going forward
hello Shane, I am still alive
Hope your having a good Christmas Jim :)
