I this project was voted for by poll by my Patreons.

Every video I watch, I learn a new trick. Pulling aluminum foil over the paint dish is smart. Of course, that was not all you taught me. Thanks for showing this.
Nice work on the T-34 James! I love that hand-painted "tread" pattern... always have. Cheers!
Thanks Scott ! Appreciate the kind words 🙏
Im not even 3 minutes in and I'll comment how much I appreciate that youre saying what tools youre using. Cheers.
You're welcome Ryan !
Im working on a T34-85 tamiya kit in 1:35th scale. Its a decent kit however the lower hull tub isnt true and there are no sponsons. Any suggestions?
@@ryannightingale2457 hej
Another stunner. Nice to come home to this after a crap day at work.
Regards, Mark
Sorry about the bad day at work ! Thanks for the kind words mate !
I wish I had the amount of skill to model like this, holy fuu-
Lol thanks ! Its just practice
Glad I watched this, the instruction brain farts don't fill me with great hopes for the border Crusader I just picked up! Absolutely beautiful finish as always mate, nice work!
Thanks Simon, I think you're safe with the crusader, orion paintworks on Facebook has just done one with no problems as well as @Scottish Bonsai. The panzer IV I did was pretty good too.
Jesus christ, what a kit well apart from that turret armour, what a paint job and what a modeller. Daren't do that black basing myself, think zenithal highlighting using halfords black, gray then white or maybe just black then white. Will be going back and forth to this video for turret armour and painting tips, undecided on winter wash fear you make it look far easier than it is lol.
Best of luck Shane !
What a show stopper! Congratulations!
Thanks VMS !
Absolute awesome, as always! Greetings from Samara, Russia)
Thanks Максим , 😊
Thanks for doing this one. I am a lover of Soviet armour so I have this one in my stash. Great to see your remedy for the turret armour problem. Some modelers have just left it off which is a pity because the extra armour is what makes this kit.
Damn bruh, looks epic in the thumbnail! Nice job!
Great build! For bending the engine deck grilles no specialized tool is needed: I'd recommend using the stem of a paintbrush. Choose large or small according to the desired radius of the bend. Worked nicely for me on the exhaust shrouds of a Tiger I.
Good tip Jean-christophe thankyou !
That was amazing bro, Keep It up!.
Thanks my man !
Awesome as always. 'I do love your mud...' I can't believe I just said that.
Thanks Sera ! Anything goes in modelling 😁
Lovely looking tank - nice to see something a bit different. Despite the issues you had, you've done a great job. The cross hatch pattern looks superb!
Thanks @Model Nerd !
Its neat to see an uparmored T-34
You don't need special tools to make a rounded shape. You can use a brush handle, and roll it back and forth on your cutting mat. Makes a great curve (if a curve was what you were after)
Thanks mate great tip !
Great to find information on the extra armour provided for this kit. I have it in the stash and will use this video for reference. Many thanks 👍
You're welcome mate, if you take your time it won't be a problem just double and triple check
@@lpjmodels Will do for sure! 👍
Awesome model and your narration is sooo soothing, I can't wait to see what's next !
Thanks Tristan 😊
@@lpjmodels my pleasure :)
Nice one looking forward to seeing more in winter camo
Thankyou John
Fantastic job. Looks amazing.
A great work of art as always. Love the camo and weathering on this one. Well done James. Stay safe my friends!!
This came out NICE!
Excellent build, mate 😊💪
Thanks man ! Hope things are good on your end
@@lpjmodels Everything’s fine 😊👍
Nice work James! Really really nice work on this beautiful tank... You really make models come alive!! Thanks for sharing
Thanks a lot !
Excellent finish as usual.
excellent finish on that bad boy
Cheers mate
Amazing work my friend! Paint job is incredible 👍
I'd like to get this one in the future.
Awesome job looks great.
Thanks Cruz 😊
Congratulations for your patience with the turret build. Beautiful result !!!
The turret was nearly the end of the build for me but I'm glad I persisted ! Thanks mate
Excellent work!👍👍👍👍 Thanks for posting that info about the the turret armor issues, ad I will be sure to follow it when build this kit I have in my stash!!
Outstanding job James very nice!!
Thanks Paul
So great to see you making vids again! Great build and loved the weathering…..so many techniques that all worked so well together! Right, I’m off to join the discord channel!
Thanks Mate ! I didn't stop this one just took aaages to complete. Multiple burnouts and its a was a bit of a mojo killer. See you in the Disord !
Not a great lover of Russian equipment but you have set my mind thinking about other projects now, thank you James, masterclass in full swing. BRILLIANT!
Many thanks Gaz !
great work!
Fantastic work as always.
Thankyou Pedro !
Another high end build...well done Sir.
Thanks Lee !
Gorgeous work!
Thankyou Jose
Great channel. Keep up the good work.
Thanks mate, more content soon 😀
@@lpjmodels eagerly waiting for your videos. If you have time can you do the MenG T-90, bought it yet to do the build.
fantastic looking finish, despite the fit problems!!!
Thanks mate 👍
Well done!!
Thanks John !
What a superb build review & wonderful looking final product! 👍👍 I greatly appreciated your detailed discussion regarding the fit issues that I had heard about, AND cannot thank you enough for taking the time to share & demonstrate your recommendations re: workarounds/solutions to the problems. I now feel as if I could handle the kit's (inexcusable) problems & get the result that I would hope for! 👍👍😊
FWIW, I get the impression that Border Models (who has made mistakes before but has continually improved), did a very thorough job of designing the usual & ubitiquous T34 tank...it seems to be well-engineered....and then it seems that another person or team in the company was assigned the job of designing/engineering the additional armour & adding to the instruction booklet. It appears that 'the left hand did not know what the right hand was doing' & vice versa! It's a shame, because it's a unique model with the additional armour. So, kudos to you for coming up with a new approach & persevering through all the frustrating & time-consuming repairs! 👍👍
I think you hit the nail on the head Re Border and this kit Derek. The panzer IV was pretty on point apart from a few tool placement ambiguities in the instructions.
Skipping class to watch this, because it looks soo good!
I hope it was worth it !
@@lpjmodels damn right it was man!! Great work!
Great work as to be expected.
Cheers mate
Awesome paint scheme
*The weathering technics are awesome, 🤩👏*
Thanks for the kind words mate !
Another amazing build, JC!
You really are a master craftsman 🙌
Genius producer as well. 🤓👌
Skills ✌
Thanks my freind, I hope alls well with you !
You made good on this dude!! Brilliant
Cheers my man 🙏
Sick tank bro
Thanks mate !
Very cool!
Beautiful!
Cheers mate !
Best job. 🤩🤩🤩
Ótimo trabalho!
Good job 😁👌
Cheers Tim
Nice build
Great build ! Happy to be back! Did you varnish before oil work ? Cheers
Hey James, this got me thinking about whether U.S. had spaced armor usage, russians did, germans did. There were some pershings given a large amount of frontal spaced armor. Turns out shermans in the pacific theater had large amounts of field modifications ranging from space armor made out of wood/metal/cement/sand bags/ track links to welding spikes/nails to top of the tank. Just need look up okinawa shermans to see what I'm going on about. Can go nuts with spaced armor, anything that could be considered usable armor adds on were used, even random sticks/branches were used. Food for thought an perhaps a future project. Awesome work btw, always on look out for tank builds, never bored watching = D
That's really interesting, definately something I havent explored. The cement and plank armour I knew about but the others are new to me . Some of the Pacific tanks almost looked like some kind of mad max tank😁
@@lpjmodels Lol it was getting mad max levels, destroyed tanks weren't off limits either, cut plates off an weld them on. Anything to survive the next hit. Very interesting indeed, enjoy the new found information! Until next time, have good one :)
AMAZINGNES!!!
Yeah the extra turret armour wasn't good to put together. I ended up cutting some tabs of to get a good fit too! Real nice paint job Dude. TFS, GB :)
Thanks Graeme ! It was a struggle
You can just called it spaced armor instead of extra turret armor
@@ahmadariqdarwish2042 You did know what I meant though! It was a while ago that I put the model together, but yeah spaced armour it is. GB :)
bro,thats and amazing job u did here .
Thanks mate !
Very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👌
Cheers my friend
Hello! Right name - Т-34 Э
Экранированный
(shielded - translate)
Sorry for my "perfect" English = )
Спасибо Evil Allien, that's good to know, is this the same shielding as when trumpeter called it Ekanami, did they get they get translation wrong, because this would be , and excuse my poor Russian phonetics, Ekranirovani ?
@@lpjmodels
Funny)
in Russian it sounds something like this - ekranirovannyi
First "e" song hard
Good luck with learn Russian language = )
@@evilallien9387 its the ы that I still don't understand but I'll get there !
terrific
Thanks Pascal
Nice Job James having seen the bad reviews of other kits from Border Models I hope they can only improve from the feedback. And I agree with you the lack of turret interior detail why do they say it has when it has not! but its an excellent build by you and the added information as you proceed through the build. nice tips..👍😎
Thanks Paul ! Fingers crossed they pull their fingers out in the future a bit more
@@lpjmodels I do hope so James also thanks for doing the ICM kit. I for one would have avoided this manufacture but now I'm more interested in future releases from them. 👍😎
...NICE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
SUPER !!!
James, you are one of the best builders on utube and even this 40+ year modeller has learned a ton from you and I always look forward to new videos. Thanks.
But, one request. PLEASE for the love of all that is plastic, tone down the music. It is SO distracting and after a couple of videos, I gotta move on. I don't want to miss your comentary but honestly half way though a video I'm gritting my teeth and trying not to hit mute. Cheers.
Love your videos and weathering techniques man. Great job! Two things: You seem to use way less glue than I do. I wonder if it is because your glue is somehow more efficient, or I am just doing it wrong for 30 years. I used Tamiya, Humbrol and Gunze Sangyo glues. Second question is about the transparent plastic parts like windows or glass in the reflectors. I glue them on after painting my models, so styrene glue cannot be used. I go for CA glue, which often leaves "smoke" on those parts. How do you do this?
Thanks Radek !
I used to use Tamiya glue and still do In a spot, I'm often quite slapdash with application too, you don't need a lot, as long as they are wet when joining you're all good.
For clear parts I like Revell contacta clear ot VMS transpa fix 6k. Revell is water based and dries In about 20 mins, but it's not overly durable, vms is solvent based and cleans up with white spirit, it takes a lot longer to dry but is a lot tougher, neither of these fog the plastic, hope that helps !
@@lpjmodels Yep, thanks a lot!
Hello mr. Jlp.nice nice nice.thank u4 sharing.keep the faith.with sticky greetings. Your modellmate.christian
shame i missed the release again because of holiday. seen already some photo's but nice video and work again👌🏻
Thanks Ricardo, don't worry , I appreciate you watching all the same
Great!
Thanks John
I think it would be really really cool to give us some tips about brushes, paints and all these things. I think many of your viewers (me inlcuded) have some problems to clean the brush or airbrush. For example, which airbrush cleaner do you recommend for cleaning my airbrush after using Mr. Surfacer 1200?
If I get the time !
For Mr surfacer, either flush through with Mr levelling thinners or Mr tool cleaner
@@lpjmodels great James! I will give them a try. Also I'm planning now on doing a WW1 diorama. For this purpose, I'm searching lots of websites to find some 35th scale figures. Do you know some websites to find them? Thanks!
Enjoyed the video, and the shading approach. Regarding the mud you used a resin binder? I haven’t seen this before but it seems a really flexible product. I have no VMS products, is it a generally available from others ie AK? Thanks again.
Thanks CT, mig used to do some, I'm unsure of others at present ! you can get VMS here in the UK at scalemodelshop.co.uk
@@lpjmodels thanks for the reply, I assume that you can use any old pigment with the VMS, so doesn’t really matter I guess? Just tend to use AK and Tamiya the most
@@ctscalemodellinguk yeah that'll be fine !
@@lpjmodels cheers, will get some for next project, nice way to make mud👍👍👍👍
Loved this T34. When are you going to do another aircraft? I take great inspiration from those.
Thanks Mod, soon !
Oooooh great keep up the work. Cant wait for more.
Nice work! But ay I ask why this particular tank did not have any markings?
Thanks, it was a what if really so no marking references to call on
A excellent job there mate, well done, what's up next?
Thanks Les ! Still thinking but it might be a flyer 🤔
I want this kit myself, I've just finished there new crusader mk3 and went and bought another it was that nice and a great build! From what people complain about well I've non! It's a fantastic build and awesome detail! The metal barrel is useless and can't be used apart from that it's beautiful! The slide Moulded barrel is really well done it's the first time I've used a kits barrel for a long time but it's nice track's can only be wethered with acrylics or will fall to bits with enamels ! That's the exact same way I done my crusader with that mottled effect! It was a first for me and looks amazing! Have you tried AK washable white paint for white washes yet? It's good! I got it ina sherman weathering set you get real nice painted field effect white wash and runs!
Thanks mate , yeah the panzer IV was very good and the crusader, well I have seen folks do it with no problems as well , maybe just a bad egg?
@@lpjmodels I'm away to order this t34 today I have the 2 new miniart ones and the composite turret one but there's nothing like this one and border are on the edge or great and easy detail yeah plastic bit soft if your not used to it say for beginners etc and they can do with working on more of a turret partial interior even something like icms t34 76 I've built that and it has the drivers seat and levers just to fill it out if hatch open and looks great! I'll maybe Rob parts from my other kit for this one, love that camp crosshatch white wash! My friend owns the model shop next to my house so away pop through for a blether n coffee! I've to pick up the new Tiger from border and Afv clubs Bussing nag with the bilstein crane! Have you see what RFM are releasing next? The Korean war sherman and the Dumbo Tiger winterketten tracks etc as aftermarket and figures! This should be interesting!
Is the God Hand any better than other cutters...like Tamiya? I'm looking at the available T34 kits to find the best overall... still undecided I'm afraid. Whats your opinion ?
I love the god hand, no idea on other t-34s sorry !
Since it has polycaps does the tracks roll when you move it to the ground?
No :(
I wonder if the painters of tanks in the war took a step back and thought "not enough tonal variation"???
You never know!
@@lpjmodels 👌😂😂😂
Watch out Uncle Night Shift 🤔
I'd love to have Martin's Skills !
Ugh 3am start time (my Timezone) alarm set figures crossed
That's dedication! Sorry about the timezone thing, it's tricky getting everyone lined up with it .
how do i get spare parts? a few of my parts came warped
Yoo... Could you eventually do a VK 30,02D?
what music are you using....ah I just seen the list at the end. lol
Masterclub is now taking over the Friulmodel position on the modelling market. Friul is really leting down in quality in my opinion, his moulds are wearing too much, every link needs drillling.
The issues with Masterclub is that they are not that easy to get, and even more expensie than friul (up to 10$ diffrence)
You should realize the combat life span of a T34 was 14hrs how much weathering, wear and tear could there be on a tank that lasted 14hrs
I appreciate that, but how boring would it be if every t-34 model was not at all or very slightly weathered?
what is the tracks number
35023? I think
This mustve taken a while to build and paint
But nice none the less love russian tanks
That screams expensive in a wooden Box
5:26 finally someone did it! xD
Just a bit about the kit. I see that you did not correct the many mistakes of it. If anyone wants a list I could provide. Also that camo pattern was used in the winter of 41-42 so it could have not been applied to vehicles build in 43. Also the few screened 112 vehicles did survive for long so it is highly probable that they did not survive until the winter.
Thanks for the Tips Gabriel, I know the paint scheme is inaccurate, I wanted a model a bit different to just 4bo.

T 34 from war thunder
It's coming to WOT blitz
I like your content, but my lord is the background music annoying. I'm sorry, I understand that military objects almost "scream" for a dramatic theme but after a few minutes of it I felt like screaming. Nice build and good to see a honest review. I'm glad I didn't buy this kit ;)
Great stuff!! Thanks for sharing your insight on this kit.
Thanks mate !
I’m waiting in Russia! 20.00 in Saint-Petersburg 🤓
