Airbrush & Hairy Stick - 1/35 Pz III Ausf J from Academy - 1/35 WW2 Diorama
In the second video showing my current diorama project in a bit more detail than is usual, we take a look at painting the 1/35 Academy Pz III Ausf J 'North Arica'. This is also my first project using AK Interactive's 3rd Gen Acrylic Paints for both the airbrush and normal paint brush.
If you're interested.....for airbrushing I've found the paints are not as easy to use as Tamiya and thinning the paint is a bit hit and miss for me at the moment. In the video I used the AK Acrylic thinner in a 50/50 paint/thinner ratio with an air pressure of 1 bar (approx 15 psi) but I found spraying the paint to be a bit inconsistent with paint drying on the needle tip regularly. That said, I am impressed by the colour range and also the finish of the paint when it's dried. For brush painting it seems a bit easier to use with more consistent results but thinning the paint is still a very finicky thing to do correctly and involved a lot of experimentation. Anyway, I'll stick with it for the time being as a one stop acrylic paint solution for both airbrush and hairy stick has a certain appeal to me......Someone recommended to me adding Flow Improver to the paint for airbrushing, so I will be trying that and hopefully things will fall in to place the more practice I get with it.

I DONT EVEN BELIEVE I COULD HAVE DONT THAT ANY BETTER WHEN BUILDING THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT VID .
I'd actually watch you paint a wall Fab as always 🥰
It was so beautiful, I was reticent to to see it weathered, but I would have done it also. Fascinating to watch. Weathering the model is the difference in realism
Routine implementation, as expected. Nice base for weathering. Excellent.👍👍👍
Great video my friend excellent paint job nice job on the jerrycans thanks for sharing 👍👍
Lovely subtle job on the camo scheme.
Nice work, and you make it look so easy. Cheers Bob 👍🍻
One model I’ve never built and I’ve built a few as a kid and recently since the first lockdown !! Not sure if you do shows or displays if you don’t you should “Yoda” 👍🏻 But that’s the joy I think of your modelling very informative videos and great end results all the time for even the basic modeller who’s getting started some simple tips goes a long way along in my book thank you 🙏 👍🏻🍻
Incredible work, I love the heavy chipping on the jerry cans
Absolutely gorgeous
Super work my friend. You used a great combo of colors. Kudos to you....
Nice to see the way the Panzer III has gone over your workbench. The result is great and impressive! A simply good work, Ian. Best wishes, Joachim
Outstanding work, as always. your videos and technics are fab I have learnt so much.
Ace mate 😉👌

Great video CW, I had a running commentary in my head as you were painting each part that was saying "Thats Interesting!" a bunch of times.... now I have a bunch of new stuff to practice!!! Take Care, Bill
Very nicely done and attention to detail a joy to watch. Great work.

Thanks Michael👍
Super 👍👍👍
Beau travail de peinture 👍😉
Why haven't you just hand-painted the white "water markings" on the jerricans ? As they would have done in the field ... I mean, by now I know you're crazy, considering the effort you put into every (absolute outstanding) diorama. 🙂 Can't wait to see the whole thing coming together. Cheers !

Looking really good mate 👍 I've tried making my own sand bags and tarps out of green stuff but no matter how much I soak my hands and tools it just sticks to everything and they turned out absolutely shite 😂. Any tips?

I’ve heard that using flour helps, I also soak my blue and yellow stuff in water and when I mix them use wax paper and surgical gloves. I’ve used flour with miliput and it works great, yet to try it with green stuff however. Another tip would be to wrap what you are sculpting in clear wrap and use silicon sculpting tools. Hope this helps 🙂

@@soap1715 cheers luke, much appreciated, I'll give it a go. I've seen someone use corn starch on miliput but I've never seen anyone use anything other than water on green stuff. When I used to glaze windows with putty it would stick to your hands unless they were perfectly clean so I stubbed them but it still stuck. I'll definitely give the flour a go though. 👍
Wery beutiful work! May I ask why you are using AK 3rd gen acrylic and not the AK real color lacquers? Athleast in my opinion using paints like Tamiya, Mr color or similar lacquers thinned with leveling thinner will almost never give you any problems. No dry tip, spattering etc.

Thanks......its because I am trying to eliminate the use of solvent thinners in my hobby room and both Real Color and Tamiya are solvent based of sorts.....AK 3rd Gen offers a purely water based acrylic solution which is better for me👍
