For the life of me, I can’t understand why people “dislike” these videos. Very informative and I’m sure Andy could keep modeling without taking the tedious time to make videos. It’s not up to your “standard”? Then do your on. Why not make a video and show us your work? Sorry for making a slightly negative comment. I just get tired of seeing guys go through the process of helping others in any way they can get told through comments or actions that they’re not good or helpful. I for one appreciate all the effort guys like Andy make just to help the ungrateful masses. Keep up the good work!

You're a hell-of-a-guy, Andy. Wish I had known about you and your store when I lived close by. The "How To Mini Series" is a great idea, and I believe many modelers will be grateful and appreciative. May I suggest you start a new playlist just for this subject to make it easier for others to find. Thank you, and keep up the good work. RM

A video in this series on how to paint figurines such as pilots, soldiers etc would be much appreciated.

Great idea Andy! Do post some more tutorials like this one. Pleeease!

Great video! Love your techniques. Looking forward to the rest.

Love when you make little mini tutorials like this great stuff very helpful thanks Andy!

Found your video's, I'm very glad that I can learn to 'master' some techniques. Txs for your time and effort, this is much appreciated

Fantastic results with such simple steps!

Another wonderful and informative video, thanks Andy!

Thanks Andy for all your great tips!

Well done. Thank you very much for offering this to the modeling community.

Great work. I love how you were able to get the effects you want. I do things a bit differently, but the results are very close. Keep up with the videos. I always love to see what others do. It's always great to learn more.

Great tutorial! I definitely have to try this out! Thanks and please keep making such videos, very appreciated!

Thanks for the tutorial Andy. This is exactly what I was after for the tools on my first ground forces model. Love your videos, keep them coming.

THANK YOU for this. I'm still learning how to weather my tank, but now my tools look GREAT (to me, anyway!).

I always learn something new watching your videos, thank you so much for all the help.

Great little tutorial! Good for the finer points of finishing your model.

Outstanding video. Thank you very much. I look forward to more like this short step by step video.

Your tips and tricks are amazingly helpful, I never managed to get the tools on my models to look like the way I wanted, until I watched this video. Thanks very much for posting. Liked and subscribed!

Always a FUN/LEARNING Experience watching your Videos. The Tools are Outstanding. Thanks.

THIS WAS GREAT LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE OF THESE FOR SURE!

How about painting weapons & heavy machine guns

Well done as usual. It is great how you explain the "Why" of what you do. Understanding the process is more important than what you do!

This is excellent. Thank you for making these videos available to people like me.

Thank you for the very helpful video! Will definitely be giving your technique a go!

Great video! Thanks for this demonstration.

Amazing execution! Aparently simple process but so effectist! Well done, I'll apply it to my future pojects. Thanks so much for this interesting video

Some fantastic tips. Thanks.

Thanks Andy very informative and very helpful

Hi Andy that was so cool thank you so much

This video is amazing Andy! Thanks for it! I believe my tools will look more realistic now. :)

Great and valuable concept. Thanks.

I've just applied this tecnique on my own Tiger model with outstanding results... Thank you Andy and kind regards from Colombia!!!

great job Andy looks real

I built that AMX-13, and this video was very useful on those tools

Looks good Andy thanks for the tips from the UK.👍

Andy helped me get back into modeling. Easy to understand and techniques I can actually do. The masses don't want techniques that take 15 steps and 4 weeks to do......

The result is convincing and realistic. good paintjob my friend. Robert

Andy, I would have never thought of using a light paint color and then topping it with the panel liner!!! WOW!! This is one of my 5 five videos from you! I will ABSOLUTELY be looking for more in this series. I am still a “rookie” as compared to you, but I am still learning with every video. Keep up the great work!

An old rural trick adopted by many soldiers was to notch the shovel handle to denote different depths. They would do this especially with long handled shovels because it's handy to know sometimes just how far down you have got simply by holding a shovel against the side of the hole you're digging. Another thing to note is, as Andy has done, if a shovel has been used a lot, as it would have been in modern war, the metal of the blade will not only lose its paint but take on a bit of a shine, particularly at its tip.

Great work - really appreciated. Thanks

Bravo une fois de plus pour toutes ces explications claires et détaillées, vous nous aidez vraiment grace à tous ces tutoriels....

I enjoyed this video, looking foreword to more mini series video’s!

excellent video Andy!! more videos like this!

Awesome tips man .thank you!

Hi Andy. Big thank you for these invaluable tutorials. I've learned so much and use your techniques very day. Not sure if you've done one on weathering tank interiors but one of these would be a god send. Thanks for the vids and happy modelling.

Thanks for this great video.

Great tutorial video!

I'd like to see how to simulate battle damage on tanks. Not fatal hits but gouges etc in the armour.

Very helpful! Thanks!

Great info!

Perfect! I’ve always wondered how to do the wood and make them look like the handles really are wood. I don’t have the steel pigment, but I’ll try my hand at dry brushing the metal parts. Hopefully that’ll work also? Anyway, thank you for another great video as always. God speed

I like any how to video so please keep them coming.

That would work great on rilfes as well.great video

Wow 🤩 awesome thanks 😊

thank you for the technique....never knew they were this easy tip.

Look forward to more!!!!

Good stuff 😊

Great New Tutorial Series! For those of us who also love armor interiors, please do something on detailing and weathering them and maybe some insight into various interior colors used by different Nationalities and time periods. Thanks Andy. I hope you enjoyed my spoof Tamiya Anvil Kit post!

Great, I have the same airbrush. I'm looking forward to actually using it.

Looks like perfect

Thank you just what I needed

Mmm gumball's...Seriously nice tip Andy. Thanks my friend. Cheers from New Mexico
