The most salient piece of advice given to me regarding hobbies: "Just start. Grab something interesting, mess up. Then go make different mistakes next time."

Very nice 👍🏼

I’m glad you show your mistakes you make in the model and don’t edit them out

Dear Mr Ostrich, You may like to consider using Mr Color levelling thinner with Tamiya paints. The drying time is slower and the thinner paint will pass easily through an airbrush as well. I would suggest that it’s worth a try. Regards, Z

This is such a great channel! You should try making a tarp by dipping paper in diluted PVA!

when i accidentally get some paints on the base coat i spray the same spot with the same color of the base coat, and then i use oil paints to fix the tone. not a fast process but a foolproof plan

Looks great. I suggest you add a tan wash to the tire treads, to show accumulated dirt in the low-points on them. You could also use pigments on those areas, as well as on the suspension systems, to increase that well-used look.

When you use acrylic and alcohol. Use a wet palit.

This video is all the lessons i learned the hard way over the last 3 years 😄 Nice work dude!

Your work is looking good don't be so hard on yourself we all live and learn keep it up mate

Nice job thanks for the lesson

Your channel is an outstanding addition to the community and you’re far from a rookie modeller lol. Idk maybe you’re the luckiest painter ever lmao but so far I see a master of our craft in you and a new favorite AFV KZfaqr of mine!

I think the amount of chipping looks good, I like the old advice of when you think you need a few more then stop there and do no more. Also tho dusty coating looks great.

Matt + dust 🤔 Looking cool idea I would even go with chipping fluid

Another great video and so interesting to watch, never to old to learn something. I'm a bit confused, is it possible to use thinner with acrylic paint? If so, what is the advantage compared to using water? I guess it dries faster, right?

When you are going for a dusty effect. You could try making the chips darker than usual to make sure they stay somewhat visible after the dust…don’t know if you want that though seeing as it looks really good on camera as is!

Good morning, can you please explain the use of Quick Shine? I am new to building model kits and I’m working on an Abrams tank, wanted to see if the Quick Shine would make it glossy? As you know these tanks are flat / matte tan colored Thank you in advance

If 91% alcohol is too quick drying, add 50% water to fix the problem.

Thx for your videos, very nice and instructive - i´m starting with the hobby after 20 years break and the whole new stuff make my crazy and very tense at the same time - greatings from Germany !

Hi. For the weathering you use the light version of the green color but right after you use a king of black wash. What is it exactly ? Thanks

Can I use museum putty for masking instead of blu tack?

Another great video. Can I offer you something to think about for your vision blocks? I've use a couple of different tricks to get that "glass shine" to them that you might want to play around with. For small vision blocks like the ones that circle the commander's cupola I drill them out and then use the Testor's window cement which dries crystal clear which I then paint with Tamiya's clear blue (on the inside). It looks nice. For larger and more flat vision ports I use blue or green (the green works better for WW2 era vision blocks) that I cut from those multi colored party whistles that I get from the dollar store. If you have like 10 minutes of your life that you're willing to part with you can see what I'm talking about in my Walker Bulldog video. Remember though it is ten minutes you won't get back.

Some mistakes look good, cos there are plenty of fades and "mistakes" on the real full sized hardware.Just saying. And this Looks great, this is how I like them, more of a reference Identification in a cabinet, rather than dioramas, its subjective.

You don't really need mirco sol on decals that are placed on glossy flat surfaces. Sol should be used on decals placed over details or panel lines. Use a sponge for your chips.

Why not thin with just water for your scratches? This comment isn't meant to be critical, rather constructive. If the thinner you're using for acrylics is mostly water, then doesn't it make sense to resort to just water?
