I wouldn't have thought to use oils like that for the initial layer. It works really well. Thanks for sharing

Very nice work, Andy. Not just the modeling, but the presentation as well. I feel like I could do an armor kit now!

Very Cool Build, Thanks for sharing this. Ive been modeling Armor on and off for several years and learn something new about the hobby.

Great Videos, done in a very easy to follow manner. A lot to learn Thanks for sharing

Nice Job Andy, great video and weathering tips!

I have just gotten back into building models and I enjoy your videos. very informative and easy to understand. thank you for the videos. you remind me of my welding teacher many years ago. he would always tell us "if you are satisfied with your work then you will be ok".

awesome andy keep them coming

Andy, you get me through the week until I can work on my own models on the weekend. Thanks for the videos!

excellent mate, well done

Great job Andy!

Another fine build and tutorial video, Andy. Your technique with the toothbrush, pigments and alcohol works great for mud splashes. I just got the Tamiya M4A3E8 Sherman kit and will employ your weathering shown here. Thank you for the inspiration.

Nice work and great tips.

Great build!

Great job !!!

Great job!

Dang awesome weathering

nice weathering😉

Sweet Build !

looks great

Brilliant videos , I mirror a a lot of work you do 😊 Peter , England

Nice work and video. I especially liked the fact that you stayed with the stock tracks and made them work. I usually use steel rod to keep the tracks articulated, however, with the nashorn I see that htere is no fender to "hide" the rods. have fun and model on!

I like how you mentioned near the end how some model makers seem to have gone overboard with all the dirt, mud and rust. I've seen great dioramas that suffer from having a vehicle that looks like it just came out of a muddy river but the terrain around it appears totally dry sometimes even set in an urban location. And as far as the sag of the tracks go many modellers go just a bit overboard. Tracks need to be kept at a proper tension to run properly. I spent eight years in self propelled artillery battalions back in the eighties. Now not all vehicles are kept at the same levels of tolerance and vehicles from different nations had different standards as well, but even in combat basic preventive maintenance has to be maintained. In real life most of the vehicles I've seen would have thrown a track if they were kept as loose as some modelers do. That being said this is a hobby that you do for your own pleasure and amusement so if you want to go crazy with sag go for it! Its your model, you forked out the cash for it so do what makes you happy. This also applies to paint camo schemes, most vehicles received very little camo just a few branches and twigs stuck here and there. Most german vehicles wore only the standard factory paint job, with german vehicles it was the early war panzer grey or later the dunkelgelb and from all the photos I've seen most vehicles had little noticeable track sag. Well that's my two cents worth. I enjoy watching your videos and hope you keep putting them out for a long time to come.

Very nice!!!!!!!keep them coming!!!

Very nice.

Hi Andy, first of all thanks for all the fantastic videos I've found them very informative . Could you do some more German cargo trucks. As I'm in the process building a German 3 ton 4x4. Thanks Andy, please keep the videos coming...

Balled up aluminum foil between track and sponsons works well holding sag in track while glue drys.

hye Andy,nice video!great job!for the sagging, i use "bouchons anti bruit " en francais, these are small pieces of foam rubber used to avoid noise and put in yours ears.you can press them, put in place and then,the foam rubber returns to his initial shape,pressing the track.. (sorry for my poor english,hope you anderstand what i mean!)

you right about the rust facts andy , im a veteran and trust me is hard to see a active vehicle rust out no even on combat .

Круто выглядит

+ really love channel

Thank you

Nicely done. Surprised you didn't bring out the panel liner...

It looks how a real tank Very nice

I would leave the tank pristine like it just rolled off the Assembly line.... :O)

about the pencil invented well , I'm still their joints and armor plates slightly stained , and the only thing that there is aggravation that the tank is dirty , traveled , fought , and radiator reshotka net , try to work a little pencil , but generally fine, and my question is , will you do a diorama ?

Hi Andy, great work. I always feel so inspired after watching your videos. One question, when I use oils the stay smear-able, even after a couple of days. How did you get it to stay in place when you brushed the pigment + alcohol over?

...Done very well, just the right amount of balance!. I used to do 1/35 scale modelling, and have been considering restarting (inspired via h&g, though that probable coming off soon, broke game)!.

спасибо...

I love your videos. can you do a build of a Tiger II plz plz plz? I ordered a Tiger II and hopeing that your video can give me a better idea of how I want to do mine.

Another good video thanks :) being new to modelling it was very interesting to see pigments being used. When applying them do you sometimes put the alcohol on first then the pigment it's hard to see in the video. thanks again

Can you please build the Tamiya tiger 2 Ardennes front

Hi Andy! Wow! You sir, have just settled it for me: I been thinking to do some moddeling as I did when in my preteens. Now you showed your airbrush but what kind of compressor do you use?

nice.one of your best builds imo. can you tell me what glue you used and tip? the brands and where i can get? thanks.

Great job Andy! What do you mix your Vallejo pigments with...Water? Alcohol?

Also great build, And what brand knife do you use? Because I just got the Tamiya Bismarck and I need a good knife

Hi Andy, another great video. A couple of questions, 1) any reason you use NATO black instead of XF-1 Flat black? 2) The weathering you were doing with Vellejo Pigments could this be done with scraped soft pastels? Cheers

Awesome job as always Andy. No decals though?

very nice video! i have a question tho, do you thin your paints when you use the airbrush?

did not now that this was in arizona the back ground looked like some place i went to and it was. i bought my gundam exia from there

Great, it's really wonderfull, great job. In the futur (if you want or can) Can you make a tutorial about zimmerit?

I wish you'd have shown the painting of the figures as well?

Why don´t you attach the decals?

Andy, interesting video good use of the oils for the mud, different, Andy I've just left a new comment on M1 Israeli Sherman with a couple of questions, if you get a chance can you answer, I know you're busy mate. cheers

good build Andy but i think you get more out of spraying and wethering than building

What cool or yellow do you ise

Can you ship your tank kits to Canada?

Just one note - its pronounced Nas-Horn as this is in German not English. which means horned nose or a rhino.... Which make sense as the predecessor of this self propelled gun was called Elefant (i.e. elephant...)

This was as boring as watching paint dry. Oh wait...
