Hello all, could use your help. As I get back into making videos again I’d really like to know what you either liked, or did not like with this one. Anything I can do to make the next one better? Your advice counts so let me know!

I like your attitude and general sense of humor. Perhaps identify the products you are using with background graphics?

As someone that only recently gotten back into the hobby as well as recently both bought this kit and being into only lightly weathering kits I found this video immensely helpful.

Turned out really well. Great work my friend

Thanks! Feels good to get back into it again, been away for about a year.

Having just built this kit last night, this video is a perfect step by step on how to paint it. Hopefully I can do at least half the decent job you did for my first armoured model.

I have faith in you , just remember to have fun with it and worry about the final result when you get some experience under your belt.

Just bought this same kit at Hobby Lobby only cause it was $11. First model build in about 25 years! Also, your weathering was fantastic.

Thanks!

😄 That turned nice. Well done! Now if you want another challenge, get either of the ancient Monogram Shermans (the Hedgehog or Screaming Mimi) in 1/32 and trick them out. 🤔😏

Got a monogram Patton done already...maybe I'll take you up on your suggestion haha...only after I do a tiny build next tho lol

The nostalgia is strong with this one =) My first Tamiya armor kit, 1970-ish? Sooo much better than the Renwall and Monogram 1/32 armor kits I'd slapped together up until then (just a little snark). Goes to show what the application of well developed techniques and skills can do. The proverbial silk sack from Peppa's ears. What did you use for your protective clear coat? I cant bring myself to try anything else than Future, mainly because it sprays so well and even, dries fast and tight to small details, and is tolerant of "hotter" thinners. But open to suggestions. Have used Vallejo and AK semi and flat finishes for acceptable final coats. Cheers!

Thanks for the comment! I use a few coats of Vallejo gloss poly… which is just future lol… people yell at me for making shiny models… but the shine brings out the detail so much more… it’s a model, not a battlefield relic.

@@JBookieScaleModels Thanks for the response. Though i still may prefer Future, I've come to like AKs Gauzy as well (no doubt a repackaged Future like floor polish).

Just curious what needle size do you use for that kind of work do you change them or do you stick with just one would appreciate any information thank

I have three brushes…. A badger renegade for details .2 , a sparmaxx .35 , and a big fengda for the base coats / varnish

Looks cool I have the same model but I have not finished yet because I'm waiting for my airbrush

Hello there and thanks for enjoying this video. This is one of my best builds and am glad people are enjoying it. As far as the basecoat, it’s Ammo Mig FS 23070.

Nice job , im not a professional builder, i do ok, my people think there really nicely built, until i show them this stuff, im just starting to weather, can you tell me why people paint all them coats on including black ? Thank you from Ocala Florida

The black is a primer. By using a primer it helps the paint apply evenly and actually stick to the plastic/metal model. It definitely makes a difference. The different layers of green allows you to build up shadow and draw attention to detail. It also allows you to slowly build up color. If you look at surfaces in real life you’ll notice how even though it may be a single color material, parts directly exposed to light are a brighter shade than those that are hidden. I don’t have airbrush experience but it’s the same painting ideas as brush applied paint.

Looks great! Did you use a mat varnish at the end? Why or why not?

I used to matte gloss everything but realized that it often drowned out hours of detail work. A nice semi gloss actually works really well and depending on the look you’re going for, even full gloss can look super nice. Just keep in mind that different glosses can affect saturation diffidently. If you modulate colors and hit with a full gloss they will look way different than if you used semi or Matte.

This is the worst Priming I've ever seen in any video. Is this your first day ?
