I go over how I painted my USMC force using my "quick and dirty" method to get a large force on the table fast, but still look decent. This is also a test of my new camera controller so bear with me.
Thanks for the great painting tutorial for usmc, very helpful. Well done on covering your technique for painting the usmc helmet cover. The technique you used is very effective and looks great.Great to see the ww2 pacific theatre getting coverage. Hope to see your tutorial on painting the Japanese next. I also really enjoyed your painting of early war germans vid as well. Keep up the great work, luv your channel. Finding your coc campaign games very interesting.
I use two methods. Vallejo Jungle Moss then dry brush withGolden Blonde for base uniform. Helmet is Palomino Gold. Then a mix of Palomino Gold and Chestnut Gold in splotched on, then Chestnut Brown splotches. Boots Chestnut Brown stocks Muddy Brown. Alternatly, a grey green for uniform
Just want to say I love your videos. You alone actually motivated me to try my hand at modern minis with your Multicam tutorial. It sounds like you were in the 10th Mountain once upon a time? Were you in Triple Deuce?
Chris Knuckle thanks Chris. Really appreciate the kind words. I was in 10th Mountain back in the day, but not in triple deuce. I was in 3/14, which has since been re designated 4/32 or some such thing 🤨
Tabletop CP I was just curious. My NCOIC was in 2-22 back in 99'-04' and my GF was an MP on Drum around the time too and from listening to them talk it seemed like they were the only unit on post, lol.
redmist1122 type F is a type of late war platoon that used fire teams. A bit unwieldy in chain of command. Basically a squad with three teams and four leaders lol
Dan Robson don’t worry. They don’t have to be masterpieces as long as they are painted and you are happy with them. Use this technique to start and once you get it down move in to something a little more complex. You can do this.
Hey thanks man I really appreciate the advice. I'm guessing you've been doing this sort of hobby for quite a while now. I also really didn't think they were that small when I first got them either. You have any advice for bases? I see people with wicked cool bases with sand and what not. But it seems a bit daunting. At this point I just want the minis to look good.
Dan Robson super simple. Just get some PVA (elmers) glue and put it on the base then dip it in sand (after you glue the completed model to the base). Then prime the entire thing in grey.

Great work! The five o'clock shadow is a really nice touch. I quite like your painting style, and the army looks first rate.
Great video. You have inspired me to start up some Pacific theater armies, well done!
Great painting tutorial!

Nice formula for the helmet cover!
Great looking platoon
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing.
Its just krylon flat grey primer I got at the local hardware store for 5 bucks.
Looks great, am now inclined to buy some Australians for the Pacific Theatre !
top vid mate - cheers!
Very cool! I really enjoy your channel :)
I bought a box of 30 extras, that I plan to build as Bazooka teams and raiders.
Beautiful 👏🏻👏🏻
I can't wait to see more painting tutorial.
Congratulations again

Chris Knuckle I can assure you they were not. In fact I was in an entirely separate brigade from 2-22 😄
I know this is a old video but any advice on starting out painting miniatures without breaking the bank?
I know this is kind of late but what primer did you use? It looks so clean and makes the paint job easier to apply.
Its krylon flat grey primer. Get it at the local hardware store
@@tabletopcp Thank you!
Great video! You mentioned Type F; what are the different types of Marines?
redmist1122 type F is a type of late war platoon that used fire teams. A bit unwieldy in chain of command. Basically a squad with three teams and four leaders lol
@@tabletopcp Tracking. I think I saw a different type mentioned in one of the TFL Specials.
redmist1122 check the Saipan campaign. Stephen did a good job of streamlining the type f platoon
@@tabletopcp Was just looking at that one. Thanks.
Do you have a list of paints that you used and what brand?
Dan Robson I didn’t list them sadly. They are stated in the video only. They are all Vallejo paints.
Hey thanks just got into the whole wargaming and miniatures gig. Picked up some US Marines. A little bit nervous about painting them though.
Dan Robson don’t worry. They don’t have to be masterpieces as long as they are painted and you are happy with them. Use this technique to start and once you get it down move in to something a little more complex. You can do this.

Oh that does not quite come out right that is Chain of Command on last line. oops.
Tyson Whitelaw thanks Tyson. Much appreciated. I will be doing a Japanese tutorial soon. And out first CoC pacific battle report this weekend.
Thanks looking forward to the posts on that.
