Weathering Metal Tiger Tracks Is So Easy!
Рет қаралды 126,203
Күн бұрынWorkable metal tracks from Friulmodel are always fun to paint and weather (except when they aren't). Even if their assembly takes a while, we're rewarded with very strong, unbreakable working tracks with realistic sag, and most importantly, they're just so easy to paint, especially when it comes to heavier layers of mud.

That's something that drives me nuts...when a modeler uses literally one color of dirt for not only the tracks, but the lower hull and wheels too. Just looking at pictures of real vehicles shows how many layers there are to dirt. I'm happy you are showing this way of doing tracks, I wish people will take this info and...USE IT!!!! Lol
@NightShiftScaleModels 4 жыл бұрын
Yeah, but then again tracks in real life are also quite boring. When it's wet, they're just covered in dark glossy mud. When it's dry, they're either rusty or dusty. These "ideal conditions" where you have dry, damp and wet textures are very rare :)
@willthorson4543 4 жыл бұрын
@@NightShiftScaleModels yes, but I'm talking about there is more than "brown" dirt. Lol. As someone who crewed armored vehicles, especially in Germany, it's amazing how many colors you can get and where. Light tannish grey in graf, darker in hoenfels, where I was we had an area called Area Mike. It's nickname was Area Mudd. Lol...sink holes, and there was literally something wrong with the ground. It was always a baby poop brown. After my division left, they made it a wildlife sanctuary because the ground couldn't handle buildings. You know when you destroy ground so much, it remains soupy. Hahahahaha. I was trying to say, you add depth, when so many just plop brown or buff on a model and call it a day.

You are absolutely right on the track wear. Late tiger road wheel sets deleted the outer wheels. This put more of the weight on the inner area of the track causing the uneven wear. The tiger at vimoutiers also shows grooves on the inside of the track where the road wheels rubbed. Mid and early tigers had that extra set of rubber rimmed road wheels which spread the weight more evenly and caused more even outer wear and less wear inside the track too

I was curious about this as well. If so, hopefully u poured the bluing solution into a smaller working container, worked from that, and didnt return any of the used product back to the original jar. If you do that with traditional bluing solutions it usually will cause the whole bottle to become useless after a period of time. However i know nothin of the type ur using, and if its cheap like u mentioned then it wouldnt be a terrible loss anyways. Great videos. Im more of a miniature wargamer, but love the techniques you teach as they are easily applied to other styles of the hobby. Good work my friend.
