Cutting The Best Tamiya Tank Model In Half... For Diorama Purposes!
Рет қаралды 374,284
2 жыл бұрынMy friends, in this video I'll cut one of the most enjoyable Tamiya kits with a hacksaw. And I'm also going to build a WW1-themed diorama around it! All in raw materials, the paint will come in the next episode!

Absolutely loving the WW1 representation, armour from that period is a beautiful canvas for weathering, especially with all those rivets. Hoping to see more WW1 stuff in the future, maybe an A7V? 🤔

The A7V has been in my stash for years, but it's the interior that's putting me off :D

maybe like a a7v cut in half on the battlefield. That way you can see the action inside an outside

@@NightShiftScaleModels Hmm, integrate the A7V into the diorama like a building aka as a cut-off corner piece with full interior and everything? Knowing your approach to scary new techniques is to tackle them head on this might be the best way to approach the interior of it ^^ I begin to think that WW1 tanks could work really well as part of the terrain of a diorama in general.

I've built almost all the 1/35 Tamiya Armour and this is definitely one of the super stars. My rough cutoff for when their design/engineering improved significantly are new tools after 35228 (M8 Greyhound) with the most memorable ones being the FAMO, JSU-152/IS-2, B1 Bis and Type 10. Currently starting the M26 (The front portion of the Dragon Wagon, not Pershing)

@@NightShiftScaleModels it appears the m26 was re-released in early 2022, i caught it because it showed up for pre-order on some sites I frequent but I havent actually seen them switch to "in stock". I randomly came across the M26 kit at a store and it doesnt appear to be from a preowned collection and I have no clue where they got it, sorry. Best of luck finding one - i stared at ebay listings for years and never pulled the trigger. If you do get it, I highly recommend getting resin after market wheels at a minimum.

@@NightShiftScaleModels You could always do the 2000 release, which was just the recovery version. Those go for a fair bit cheaper on the market and if you're just doing the prime mover anyway... I certainly would love to see you take on something that isn't a tank, and a tank transporter would certainly be an appropriate addition to an armor modelers collection
