the kit came out great. my own DARK Achilles is more of the darkish bronze green beloved of the British army for much of the era. there's also so much discussion on subjects as tanks were supplied in standard olive drab for much of ww2 - 2 main types, one slightly more brownish and the other greenish and you have a lot of local factors .. the colour photographs from era are not also so helpful either - remember the Bovington Museum had their Matilda in BLUE for many years due to a mis-coloured photo of one in the desert.. :) glad kit came out so well..

Great finish and the video is great as well , I remember people losing their shit over glossing before decals and I see alot of modellers going back to a semi-gloss or gloss before decals. Interesting.

Great finish, welcome to the delights of SCC15 ;) It’s 7th A/Tk Regt RCA isn’t it? I do like those decals - perfect fit too, unlike the ones in my kit (ended up making my own). Shading/weathering looks superb, so definitely gonna refer back on this for tips as can never get weathering right.

Job well done! Thanks, I’ve learned a lot. Any chance of getting a tutorial on figure construction and painting?

wake up babe, new panzermeister vid just dropped

Hi, very impressive technics for the weathering....I'm just finishing my first AFV - the HB Commando V150 - nice kit for starters! I just wondered if you finished all your tanks in clear matt?...I used the semi-gloss clear for sealing prior to weathering but having coated the V150 with clear matt, it now looks a bit dull!

20:13 some of the best fake shadowing I’ve seen, kudos Evan

Hey sorry late to the party but I hadn't had a question when i watched it the first time. First off amazing job as always 👏 Anyway love the m10 family of tanks always wanted to build the earliest version of it with the VERY small counter wights on the rear or the turret. So yeah do you have any info on said wights? I'm really looking for the sizes of them. I can scratch build them but without the dimensions I could mess it up. Anyway thanks for any help. Again as always fantastic artistry.

Another great VLOG, full of excellent advice and techniques. Thanks. I never have the courage to mix paint brands. Any advice on that? One small detail I noticed. The 'rope' you used to tie off the stowage, is in scale. Far too many modelers use twine that would be three inches thick, in 1/35.

Funny enough I’m building a JS-2 alongside the Nightshift series and I found it sprayed a nice warm green without much need to add buff or sky to lighten it. I did de-saturate and modulate with those shades as well as Ammo shaders on the panel joins but I’ll say it sprayed great out of the bottle with some X-22 added.

I was considering doing some fuel spill effects but I didn't have a ton of time to finish this one, so I just focused some extra dark wash in those areas. And, fuel streaks down the hull sides would not have been visible due to the grouser racks and stowage. On my next Sherman project though, I will explore that more :)

Nice work! Question on assembly of kit after painting, how you put the turret together without getting cement to ruin your paint finish?

Smart choise to use some tan to lighten the s.cc olive drab. When I used it after clear coat it became way too dark.

What are your thoughts on using Pledge or Quick Shine floor polish for clear and gloss coats? If anyone uses those often, can they be used as a varnish?

@Panzermeister36

Жыл бұрын

My thoughts are they are unreliable products for a varnish. They can occasionally give poor surface finishes or not properly protect underlying paints. It's best to use a proper modelling varnish...it's only a couple dollars more, and you're not risking ruining the model.

Amazing modelling 👍 I’m new to the modelling world ….. do you varnish after all the weathering ? Again brilliant detail 👌

@Panzermeister36

2 күн бұрын

I do not varnish at the very end as it will affect the pigments. Rather, I apply the matte varnish after all the oil streaking and dust on the vehicle is done...then I add the pigments and mud on the lower hull. It won't get worn off as I don't handle the model from the hull.
