Yeah, I kind of regret doing all that beautiful chipping by brush on the turret only to cover 90% of it all with the dust effects. My plan was for a dusty tank in the end...so sadly the chipping had to go. Hopefully next time we can do more chipping and have the results pay off :)

Panzermeister36 the dusty effects are great... I think dust (on the horizontal surfaces and in crevices... not dirt in the running gear) is something most modellers don’t pay enough attention to. The flat surfaces on real tanks were often coated in dust.

Hi, it's excellent painting as usual. Especially, I'm interested in weathering of flat plane that's ceiling of turret and upper hull. The moisture doesn't flow in one direction on flat face. So, I love your way of weathering of flat face. Anyway, I always enjoy your video. Thanks for uploading.

@Panzermeister36

Hello and thank you :) I agree, the flat areas are always hard to weather as our usual approach - streaking effects - no longer apply.

Best videos on youtube

I think that wear and chipping down to a red primer makes the model "look" more plasticky than it should. I prefer wear and chipping effects that goes down to a silver or steel color by dry or semi-dry brushing, with only a hint of primer red-brown at a few random spots to hint at the presence of a primer. Some of these are then dry brushed with Gunze rust, some are not, to simulate fresh and older wear throughs. -- When I started in the 1980s I did not have an airbrush and I found spray cans too thick and covered up too much detail. So I used to triple dilute the paint and hand paint the model in four or sometimes five coats to get a brush stroke free surface appearance. One thing I could do back then because the paint was put on in many layers, was do some heavy dry brushing before the final layer which is thin enough that a lot of the silver or rust effects barely shows through the main coat. This is then finished with additional dry brushing on top of the final coat of paint. It is more three dimensional and looks quite convincing. The problem of course was that it's very hard to do the late war German three color camouflage patterns without an airbrush, so I simply didn't do it. I stuck with the field grey era stuff and if I did the late war stuff, I simply did the winter schemes with white and weathering over dark yellow.

Looks awesome! No varnish between paint and pin wash?

Very nice work. I'll even allow for artistic license regarding the horrible track tension allowed by the Tank Commander (track tension is one of my pet peeves - both on my models and on my actual tank). Of course, maybe you could do a diorama with the TC making his crew "get right on that". But really, good job!

Looks great. I was wondering where did you purchase the VMS products from. They seem to be becoming more popular and I was thinking of giving them a try. Thanks.

Nice job. Always a bit difficult to revisit a model you have partially finished in the past. Or; at least, it is for me. There was usually a reason you didn't finish it, to begin with. Sometimes I will get one out and use it to experiment with a technique I am not quite sure about. In any event, that is an excellent result. Interesting about that brand of metal tracks. About all I have ready access to is the usual Fruil. Great job, today.

@Panzermeister36

3 жыл бұрын

The enamel holds it on pretty well :)

I can tell you, when I was modeling back in middle school and high school, even the random time or two in college... I would use acrylics for washes for a few reasons (none of them being good reasons mind you! Haha) 1st: It's just what I had. Most of my paints were not hobby specific paints, they were acrylic craft paints I stole from my mom or they were tube acrylics for more traditional artist's work. The enamels I had were the Testors brand and I never thinned them, these were the "sloping brushloads of paint over the model" days. But when I did get into washes, the only thinner I had was water. I didn't think to use enamel brush cleaner as a thinner. Even though I didn't care about fumes or whatever as a kid, even that stuff was pretty harsh where I wasn't trying to breathe it in all day. 2nd: When I did finally get some Mig Productions pre- thinned enamel washes, I never really understood the product. And what I mean by that was first of all, I never shook them up to their full potential, so they were very sporadic in terms of actual opacity. And then only within the last 2 years or so (really because of Adam's KV-1 tutorial ironically enough) I really, finally got it sunk into my thick skull that the idea for the wash wasn't just to do it and clean it up as fast as you can before it dries (like you would do with an acrylic paint wash)- but let it dry! Then come back later and reactivate and remove what's excess. So Adam's KV videos woke me up to that, and then your pin wash videos and Martin really drove it home over the last year or two. So I'm a full convert now. Pin washes for everything. Anyway- I'm only 13:25 in to your video so I will get back to the rest. Love all the dirt tones on the horizontal surfaces. Some really nice effects, also reminds me of the Sturm... 33B you did. 👍🏻

Thank you Chris! I started out using acrylics when I was first modelling...7 years ago or so. But I quickly got my hands on some AK streaking grime enamels and figured out the wash stuff from there.

@@Panzermeister36 I'm sure some hobby specific stuff was around when I was getting into seriously building and weathering as a kid, but I think I was much more close minded about new techniques and truly putting in the effort to try new products and develop new ways of thinking. I eventually did stumble into oil paints for washes just because their long drying time still allowed me to clean up and blend out colors while it was wet. But enamels have some different properties that are pretty useful.

Hi Ev, how are you and your family doing, all fit and well I hope. You know how much I think of you with how many times you helped me without realising. Anyway, can I ask, do you dampen your surface in the areas you add the wash? I never have and my wash, after cleaning it up, sometimes won't remove the excess wash and at times looks crap. I just was thinking if I start to do that it may help? One more, I promise. I cannot, anywhere find out, if the Tirans when, the T55, T54s, T62s etc etc, do you think or know if most would of arrived with the Russian Green as their base coats and once they say, applied their colours, even the Lebanese, when chipped it would be the green, that comes through I can't decide as at and it's really getting me down.

Hi PanzerMeister36! Did you apply a varnish between the acrylics and the oil paints? Maybe I missed that. Do you have an idea of how to apply a varnish without an airbrush? Mine always comes out streaky when I apply it with a brush...

@Panzermeister36

I don't think I applied a varnish. I rarely will since it's a waste of time. Oils won't damage acrylics, unless you're using weak and poor quality paints like Vallejo. And you can also get varnishes that come in spray cans for models. Testors, Mr. Hobby, Tamiya, all make good ones.

Part way through, the top of the hull seemed to take on a more green colour like it hadnt been over painted with the grey. Is that just a trick of the light with the dust?

Hello! Yes I can help you. I usually do not use a fixer for the reasons you mentioned. Instead, I apply a matter varnish beforehand. This add a texture to the model that the pigments hold on to quite well. It's not perfect but it works for me. Additionally, I usually apply my pigments on the model with enamel mud effects still slightly wet, so when the enamel mud wash dries it also holds onto the pigments a little bit. I believe I showed that in this video :) I hope this helps you out!

Would the hair spray chipping work with rustoleum spray cans?

@Panzermeister36

3 жыл бұрын

Probably not. One of the key steps for HS chipping is to not apply a very thick coating of paint over the hairspray, otherwise it's very hard to chip. Another key is to avoid using lacquer paints (instead I use alcohol-based ones) since they dry very hard and are difficult to chip. Spray cans are usually lacquer-based paints and always apply in thick layers, so that's two strikes against it.
