This is brilliant - cheers! I wouldn't have thought of starting the jacket with the desert yellow colour...!

First painting tutorial i’ve seen of yours and i have to say it was excellent compared to most, gives you all of the information you need in a well structured and easy to follow tutorial 100% model time, many thanks subbed

More of these War Gamer! I've a bunch of sets of historical-military based models that I would love for you to cover. These videos lately have been very useful. Maybe one on Confederate/Union soldiers, or British Redcoats later?

[gamerwhopaints]

Absolutely love your work. Out of curiosity could you do a tutorial on painting miniatures from the Black Powder range from Warlord Games, particularily the American War of Independence line?

[maxwright]

Thank you for this toutrial. Always dreaded painting the Camo. You make it nice and easy to follow. Thanks again pete

[garyc]

Halfway through painting my Airborne, not as good as yours but not far off if it wasn’t for your tutorial my models would not look as good keep up the good work and Thanks

[TwentyTwoStudios]

Smashing it lately with these videos. Great work yet again!

[iainfleming]

Super job. First you help me with tanks, now British paras. Not to sound too greedy, how about Fallschirmjager?

Me: I want Duncan Rhodes.
Mum: We have Duncan Rhodes at home.

Duncan Rhodes at home...

Nice work, mate. I like the gray primer too; was never a fan of matt black.

[zezorc]

Lovely way of painting these fellas! :)

[ged]

Hi. Great video. Would Agrax Earthshade work instead of the Strong tone ink?

[timo.]

Hey Pete, which Color would you use to paint the British Airborne Jeep?

[jamesfirth-haydon]

Any possibility you could list the Vallejo equivalent paints that could be used?

[stevecampbell]

After the strong or soft tone I was always under the impression that they dried shiny is this incorrect or do you matt varnish after this video by the way

[yggaming]

Since they don't sell Vallejo paints or army painter at my local hobby shop are there citidel substitutes. the main resaon is I don't like online shopping

how hard is it to start painting wargames

[pepelenormie]

Sweet painting tutorial, I've been trying to choose over bolt action or flames of war. I have the flames of war starting set, but I hate the forces and I kind of hate the squad bases, and the scale just doesn't tickle my fancy. I love seeing your bolt action tutorials, and generally I'm a warhammer guy when it comes to miniatures (also a ww2 buff), so this kind of thing is right up my alley. Thanks man, I'm going for a british para army either choice :D

Hey mate, how did you base this?
The base looks slightly different to the colours you used in your tutorial. The grass looks like you’ve used maybe 4mm to start and then added 2mm to get height variation
