glad to hear that you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

Scottish Bonsai is right! If tell about the 131 Tiger in Bovington, this tank manufactured in 1943 and keeps real colors. Top - RAL 9001 (A.MIG 017, M. Air (Vallejo) 71.270 ), bottom - greyblue (A.MIG 210, M.Air (Vallejo) 71.304 ).

I used the same brand of oil paint and have no problems with it. I just started armor modeling about 9 months ago and started watching Panzer Mister36, Night shift, Adam Wilder and Plasmo to name a few. I have spent around $1000 so far and still need more materials,paint and equipment but it is worth it as i have retired 2 months ago. I like your style of narration and will continue to watch your channel.

Looks very good. One suggestion...the floor of the turret will not be rusty where the paint wears off. The boots of the crew will leave bare metal which will be a dull shine. On my 1:25 Tiger I used metal polishing powder to create the base and then chipped the paint layer off where there would have been most wear from the crew's boots

Great new channel. 👍

Hey man, I can see a few things that would improve your brush painting. One thing that would help your brush control a lot is being mindful of the shape of the paint on the tip of the brush. You should wet your brush and shape it to a point with your fingers before applying paint, then try to paint with that tip. When you pick up paint, touch it gently to the pallet so there isn't a globule around the tip. It also seems like you could stand to thin down your paints with a little more water. When you paint, touch the tip down in a central area and gently push toward the edges, letting curves guide the bristles. When the tip starts to run out of paint, you tend to paint with the middle of the brush (10:45), which means the tip paints areas you don't intend. Instead, just get more paint on the tip.

Thanks for the advice, I am definitely going to put these tips to good use! Greatly appreciated!

Useful guide to chipping, although chipping the jerry cans before painting their final colour seems a waste of time tbh. I might also have painted the hull and accoutrements separately before chipping and assembling them as it makes everything easier to do. One other minor point, I don’t believe that internal components will have rust streaks running vertically, because they shouldn’t get that wet in use or storage. Oil streaks from leaks or overfilling maybe, but not rust streaks. Same pretty much applies to outside unless the tank has stood unmoving for some months. Rust chips yes, possibly, on carbon steel and iron, streaks unlikely.

This is exactly my 5,000th liked video.

The thicker side would have looked better if you didn't dig into it...I use a toothpick or stippling brush.

I think meant to say thinned with mineral spirits, not lacquer thinner.

How did you like the build overall? I know it's an Academy reboxing, but I have been looking at it a few times.

Quite frankly, I didn’t like it the detail is pretty weak, the fits are bad, and some shapes are off. If you’re patient you may like it, but it’s a lot of frustration for a kit that has pretty minimal detail

Yeah, I just used Testors Enamel thinner. The problem is that Vallejo paints are notoriously weak, and even will be reactivated by different oil based thinners, so, really, I think I just need to get some more durable varnish or be gentler with the stuff I already have.

The wrinkles? What did you water the varnish down with? Use bottled water not tap water. Tap water has chemicals added to it and can cause weird shit sometimes. Also switching between paints can leave a residue than can react with the next paint. Windex, or screenwash and then bottled water to flush through. Used to get issues when after Tamiya paints Vallejo would clog or react on the kit.

Actually its telling you what ratios of paint you should use. I find that its not a super great guide for painting. I recommend looking at a video tour or something at a Tiger I interior, as well as using a little "artistic license" (your imagination), to decide how you paint the details.

Brother, you should've thinned oil or enamel paints with enamel thinner such as white spirit or turpentine or you can get the ones which modelling companies make, as for your satin varnish chipping off I'm so sure it got chipped off by the lacquer thinner you used to thin the oil washes, keep in mind that lacquer based paints have stronger chemical than acrylic and enamel paints so as their thinner, since lacquer thinner will easily wipe off any paint.

Is there a modeling reason if the finish of the models is always completely matte? I visited the Saumur museum in France and saw the tanks in real life and they are not opaque, you can see that they are made of steel even if they are painted matte, so why?

Aesthetically they look much better flat or satin at scale. Gloss looks toylike on a scale model, unless applied sparingly in thin coats
