Well, in that case... I'd say, "This is an excellent mission, sir, with an extremely valuable objective, sir, worthy of my best efforts, sir. Moreover... I feel heartfelt sorrow for the mother of Private James Ryan and am willing to lay down my life and the lives of my men - especially you, Reiben - to ease her suffering."

Great job with the figure, Hank! I'm always a little skeptical watching your painting process because it's so remarkably different than the techniques I use, but your finished product always looks really good. As for my favorite line from Saving Private Ryan, that's difficult because there are so many, but I really like this one: Sgt Horvath - "Captain, if your mother saw you do that she'd be very upset." Cpt. Miller - "I thought you were my mother!" Perfect illustration of an effective and trusting relationship between a company commander and his first sergeant. 😉

I'll add just one thing...I served in the Army as a Infantryman and I know just how those guys were trained.... We Infantrymen were always envious of the Rangers and would have loved to have gone into battle with those guys 👍👍👍... I had a former veteran buddy of mine tell me that he thought that I had earned my EIB, but I kinda got screwed out of it.... I also got asked to join Special Forces during the 1990's by some Army Reserves Green Beret's, but I turned it down because of my ability to keep up with those guys 😂😂😂 One of my favorite parts of the movie was during the landing on the beach scene. Captain Miller telling the First Sargent "Do you know where we are??" The entire movie was just awesome too... They actually used amputee's for extras in the movie just for the bodies getting blown away by the mines and bullets,which, by the way was a first in movie history...it added a level of experience that was unmatched even to this day...

I am a WWII buff. It started when I was a child. My grandfather was an Alpino, one of Italys specialist commando corps that were stationed in the Alps. They could climb and ski, and were expert marksman’s and scouts. They were also experts in subterfuge and infiltration, conducting many of their missions behind enemy lines. When Mussolini came into power my grandfather defected to the partisans. He wouldn’t serve under a dictator. With the partisans he conducted many operations behind enemy lines. He would sleep in the attics of partisan sympathisers during the day and then venture out at night. He conducted operations as far as Yugoslavia and Russia. He was my hero. His brother was caught and killed by the nazis. My grandfather was too intelligent and wiley to get caught. When German soldiers searched house to house he would climb out the attic window and would climb onto the neighbouring building’s roof. He was like a monkey. Man could he climb. I joined the army when I was 17. I grew up without a dad so my grandfather was my whole world. He died a few years after I joined. I miss him everyday. I liked Saving Private Ryan but I wouldn’t say I enjoyed it. It’s a hard movie to watch. Especially when you have something to tie it to reality. The number of people that needlessly perished is mind blowing. It’s hard to fathom that one little man’s ideology was responsible for so much hate. The sad thing is, I see exactly the same evil in those active shooters that walk into a mall or shopping centre and gun down innocent people because of their own hateful ideology.

Great tutorial, Hank! I started watching your vids about a year ago and it gave me that itch to start building models again, brought me back to being a 10 year old kid (I'm 52 now) with the basic Revell models of the day [always planes or tanks...] THANK YOU for reviving the interest in me, I've gone out and purchased loads of stuff like paints, models and airbrush set and can't wait to get started again, perhaps my retirement hobby. The line from SPR that always puts the film into perspective is when Capt. Miller says to the group: "If going to Ramelle, and finding him so he can go home ... if that earns me the right to get back to my wife, well then, that's my mission." He had just shared something personal (which he didn't normally do) and ended it with his own "thing" that kept him going day after day and drove him to get home. Incredible film.

Little help in future painting , when u using small brush like 00 or 000 ad to the mix little bit of retarder. In example when u paint the eyes . Second tip brush motion alwayst start from place when u want to have smooth blend and end in place where paint will be accumulated ( there will be more paint) And when u doing eyeballs , dont make it like dot , try to paint half of circle under the eyelid :) U doing well in this more practice ;p

Thank you for the great painting tutorial. That’s a really nice sculpt too. Thank you for the opportunity to win this awesome figure. My favorite quote, Captain Miller: “James, earn this... earn it.” 😢 dang it, gets me every time.

Great job ! The figure looks awesome. Saving private Ryan one of my favorite movies… “ we could use a sticky bomb “ or “ we’re in business!!!”

“There’s a chain of command. Gripes go up, not down”. I always remembered that scene when I started my first leadership position and had to remember that I wasn’t part of the same group and couldn’t communicate my grievances with them anymore. Griping down just looks bad.
