Great job on this kit, no matter how old some of these Tamiya kits are people still enjoy building them.

Your LRDG Chevy is an unique piece of jewelry! Marvelous! 👍

This is the best treatment anyone has ever given Tamiya's LRDG on youtube, really first class video. Thanks for sharing your techniques, the white / yellow oil wash worked great for me. On mine, I ended up drilling out the solid headlight and putting a clear lense in, I scratch built the fuel can boxes on the running board and fitting the more detailed cans from Bronco's British Field Accessories kit. I put slings on the rifles and replaced some of the decals with custom made ones. I plan on putting the Lewis on a different mount and fitting a Vickers heavy mg on the pedestal.

Oh man, this kit has been on my `bench` for approx 6 months, half completed, just staring at me everyday, pleading to be weathered and detailed. I now have some ideas.

I am amazed at your talent ! Just bought this model . After seeing this ,I don't know where to begin !!!Amazing

Always nice to see someone who does it better than I do.Still learning after all these years.I need this model to go with my Tamiya SAS jeep.Great job.

Great! Love Command Cars!

Such a good job, painting this kit - weathering is such a necessary part of making a model. I think that most are overdone, and I just love videos of model shows and all the jaw-dropping results of all that patient work. I can remember building this when it first became available, many years ago; weathering wasn't a thing I considered. It was the color of Gulden's mustard - a very eye-catching camouflage brownish yellow. It's the exact same kit, but the current standards for weathering make this one look very different(and MUCH better)! Thanks for sharing this.

Another great video mate, not sure about the tunes 😉👍

Love the painting and weathering 👍 Excellent video!

Very nice job! Impeccable painting, weathering and details. So much to learn and, as always, looking forward to the next one. 👌👍👏

I don't remember this one, and it's the sort of thing I would definitely have made back in the day!

Outstanding!!!! A Beautyful Artwork as Always...!!!! I wish i had those skills!!! :)

An oldy but a goody . Great job !

Wow. Great job again Matt !! Worn affect is fantastic, and the weathering on the sand ladders is awsome. Glad you enjoyed it mate 👍

You have exceptional skill and patience. Remarkable work. A suggestion for a video theme: Build a series of dioramas depicting an early WW2 vehicle, preferably Nazi, perhaps something like a Panzerspahwagen, at first like-new, as it would have appeared in review before Hitler in late '30's Berlin. Then -- age it, slowly, over time. Show it as it might have appeared, say, invading Poland, or France, worn but still proud. Then the same vehicle in the deserts of North Africa, even more scarred and damaged but still functional, only to be evacuated to Sicily or Italy, battered but defiant. Finally, show it broken and spent, thrown into the collapsing defense of the Fatherland.

Awesomeness👍👍

Awesome!

awesome job:D

beautyful artwork and stunning weatering ... thanks :-) ... greetings Make*

Have you considered upping your damage and weathering? Dented hoods and tailgates, bullet/shrapnel holes, bent bumpers and twisted grills. A vehicle/aircraft on its last legs would be absolutely INCREDIBLE.

fantastic build,i built mine a couple of years ago,only issue is the tyres,they will split which ruins the finished kit.,other than that this kit still stands up by todays standards.

Nice work. Just one thing, maybe a tad heavy on the tires as they seem like they are driving through snow apart from that spot on

I'm debating whether to get this kit or not. If I did it would be done civilian. Love those flared guards. Any suggestions as to which cab would be the closest fit & look the part? I'm leaning towards Ford 3t but I don't have the Chev to measure. (Ford parts on a Chev can only improve it IMO:-).

good;

Are they still producing these? I had one but donated it to my local IPMS chapter when I left town. I wanted to build it and put it next to my SAS Jeep. Great company!

Really enjoy your videos, extremely helpful! I also appreciate your use and knowledge of Tamiya paint as that is what I use as well. One question, when applying the "Worn Effects" do you thin it out at all? Thanks, Jim

Thank you. And yes I already have started to do that. My latest videos all have narration in them to explain the process

Only thought why it popped up is recent BBC series on SAS: Rogue Heroes and reading up on Long Range Desert Patrol Group. Having spent childhood on backside of Sahara Desert, there is one thing missing which might go into the diarama you hint at in a reply to a comment - the sand. Would some fine dried paving sand be correct scale to blow over the whole thing to get grains stuck in crevices? In real life, it's a thing that you just can't remove completely

As a Kiwi I'm so glad to see your amazing work on this kit. Its a real stunner Mate! Sadly your timing with this build is quite appropriate with the recent passing of Norman Gedye, New Zealand's last surviving veteran of the LRDG. Who passed away on the 21st of December 2018 at the age of 98. And quite benefiting Norman, his coffin was transported away from his funeral on a 1942 Chevrolet in the colours of the LRDG. Here is the article about Norman's life www.stuff.co.nz/national/109667134/long-range-desert-group-veteran-norman-gedye-dies

One Improvement, the rear mudflaps would be scratched to hell and the black would be apparent, also lateral cracks in the paint where they bend back over rocks, otherwise top job.

please dount have music, glad i cout turn Down the sound.

not into autos , but awesome build , thinking might I.

It looks really good except for one thing. Tire wear. How did that thing get so well used and still have perfect tread patterns? I can tell you from experience, driving around in the sand all day will definitely leave you with bald tires.

I'm assembling the tamiya SAS jeep and I believe is the same dessert paint scheme... the instructions call for a flat dark yellow, but you use buff as the main color.. Is the dark yellow too yellow?? I haven't painted mine yet.. trying to decide what looks best..

@TheInnerNerd

5 жыл бұрын

Cool! I hope its going well so far. Yes using reference photos and a bit of imagination the dark yellow seemd to strong of colour so I used the buff instead. I think the more subtle tone looks more realistic and bleached compared to the instructed yellow.

Good idea. Its nice to add these little details on to make the model look more lives in isn't it. An idea I'll use in another model. Thanks for watching:)

I don't understand how all you guys get away with using artist's oils. We couldn't afford the Humbrol enamel paints so I tried it in the early 70's on an Airfix Stuka and the stuff just wouldn't dry on a plastic kit! Ended up throwing it in a bin after 3 weeks of waiting having wasted a month's worth of pocket money to buy the kit, not sure I've forgiven my mum for making me bin it yet :)

If it was a NZ LRDG command car I'd buy one.

Great job on the model. I'm not too keen on the technokink porno music used in the first fourteen minutes of the vid, though.

Yeah like everyone else. Great video but please bury that music in a concrete coffin.

I fortnite danced to this music.

Great job but too tidy, the body needs scratches, dents, rust, a bent front bumper and a couple of bullets holes. Also at the back needs some improvisation and mess. Please, don't get me wrong, you did a great job but too by the book for me...

Have you done one? The bumper is shorter on the driver's side and has been altered, you had to be sharp to be see it but when the sprues were shown with their parts the bumper was an even length on both sides. Along with some serious scraping damage on the driver's front wing. To put a 7.92mm German bullet hole in the vehicle would require a heated darning needle to be pushed through the plastic and then moved around to increase the hole size any where from 2mm to 2.5mm if you're going to do it to scale, and the house will smell acrid for a bit. However I do agree with you and Shui Ki Cheung that if it was on an operation there would be plenty of fuel jerry cans and water jerry cans painted with a white cross them. Then there would be boxes of ammo, rat packs and Lewes's bombs.

wth. im half expected an actionmovie would start with that weird ass music lol
