Finally! a Zimmerit how to guide which doesn't require a full shopping trolley of lacquer thinners, hardeners, tools, etc etc etc. Thank you very much for giving me some hope as I was starting to lose my sh|t over this process.

woo, only one not using the zimmerit applicator tools on youtube that I have seen. Thanks!

Going to build this kit soon, a destroyed Panther version, will try this out for sure. Zimmerit was on 5 mm thick, convert that to 1/35 scale and it's .14 mm's which I believe can be achieved using this method. Thanks for the share!

He is the messiah!!

Thanks Andrew 4 the zimmerit applications tutorial. I've learnt a lot. I've got a modelling book that shows you most of the zimmerit patterns used on all of the German AFVS. I had the problem with how thick to apply the putty? Thanks now I know!

Thanks for the lesson. Great looking job!

Great technique!

Thank you, this video helped a lot; I used it on a Bergepanzer Tiger (P). Your method is quite easy, I just don't get how do you apply such a nice, even layer of the putty - I always needed to sand it down afterwards :P

I will be building a Tiger 1 late version and never used a paste for a model. this video shows me howeasy it is. i need to add a few things to my list when i visit my local model shop

Thanks man I’m trying it out myself first time doing it don’t look to great but might as well experiment

Awesome. Thanks.

Très beau travail monsieur c est un plaisir pour les yeux je suis abonné !!!! very good work mister this is a pleasure for the eyes I am suscribed !!! and I would be proud to have you as subscriber merci thank you

Thanks!

I'm doing a Tiger I and it came with a tiny little zimmerit trowel! one side is 0.5 and the other is 0.7... it's nearly impossible to use but I've managed to get the turret gooped up not TOO too bad lol...i tried a few different methods, one is, apply the putty then take a small flathead screwdriver and stamp in your zimmerit columns. it actually comes out the most authentic looking, but a bit out of scale. the type of putty you use makes a huge difference depending on the technique. i even tried taking the lid off a pill jar and roll it in the putty cones out ok. the best bet is getting the proper zimmerit roller but i can't seem to find them anywhere

I love stuff like this i am cheap as hell o havent even bought any of the tools i just use a small sharp knife i got for free though i regretted getting cheap brushes

You could also use a mini razor saw once putty is dry.

Awesome work man!can u tell me what scribber tool size did u use for make the zimmerit?

The tank with the zimmerit is it tamiya putty

Hm very interesting

Do you do the zimmerit after the putty is fully dry? Or do you do it while its wet?? Thanks! And great video!

Try taking old dvd players and video players apart, you would be surprised to see what rollers are in them. Unplug first,

how long does this putty take to dry? also have you ever considered a zimmerit roller and rolling it on wet putty? i've never done it, i'm just trying to learn for a future project.

Do we have to wait for it to dry before making the marks?

What about using epoxy putty?

Would you recommend using an applicator tool (like AFV's rolling thingy) when the putty is semi - dried? I don't think I have the patience to do each scribe one at a time.

I dont understand why you let it dry

Too much work. I recommend breaking the "toothed razor" to the desired size, and then the grooves can be made quickly! And also use a putty that doesn't harden so quickly.😉

Too time consuming and pattern of zimmerit is too uniform. I don't recommend that technique.
