Good to see you back at painting. Something I've been jonesing for a while. Was worried until 11:07 when you finally called yourself a numpty...it just ins't a HE vid if that doens't happen! Cheers...great vid!
Herbert, you should totally start streaming in the middle of the night, also known as when I'm awake on the other side of the ball-rock-thing we live on.
Less derpy? Why would I want to do that?! To gulag with you! Anyway, the toothy-face is known as a ‘shark mouth’, seen on most armies’ vehicles WW2 and onward. The most famous examples are from the planes of the US volunteer squadron in the Chinese Air force during WW2; the famous Flying Tigers.
How do you avoid the acrylic washes leaving tidemarks? For every mixture i've tried so far i've had to babysit the model for an hour and constantly re-apply water to avoid the wash drying in weird patterns on flat surfaces... Is there a specific paint or thinner that avoids this?
You might be applying it too thick or heavily? it might even have something to do with the climate wherever you are. I try to do those washes in thin layers, you can always build them up over multiple coats if they're not dark enough.
Wujek Сталин I believe that the paint you're using is sold ready to airbrush. Just put some in a small pallet and let it set for a while. It will thicken up as it drys so you can paint more easily. Simple as that ! Happy Modeling ......
It could be down to differences in how screens represent colour. However, I've had bottles of Model Air Russian Green that are slightly different shades from each other, which is a bit annoying. I've only seen that with the russian green myself. Personally I'm not too worried about it unless I'm trying to match something previously painted with the Russian Green. I have my doubts that the Soviets were particularly picky about exact shades of green.
Herbert Erpaderp. One thing to remember especially when it comes to 4Bo is that one batch of paint won't ever be the same. That's just the way paints are. Because of mixing no matter what you won't ever get two batches the same. That's why you see the same paint be different colors.

The shark-faced KV-2 Turret reminds me of the decals/accessories in War Thunder.

HE PAINTED IT WITH HIS ENEMY'S BLOOD FROM STALINGRAD
Why are my flames of war paints so thin even if I shake them for 5 minutes?
I have no idea. Thin paint isn't bad. Unless it's TOO thin?
Hey you should do a German captured tank either Russian or US. Cheers

When using your airbrush do you have an extractor fan on?
Did you know meng do a KV2 in there world war toons range
I did. It looks strange.
Why is my russian green so different than your's? I have this problem with nearly all my vallejo paints:(

Did early war Russian tanks live long enough for the paint to fade?
Which gulag worker did you get the paint from?
His name was Vlad. He was a good fellow.
Herbert Erpaderp ))))))
Heard of latex gloves
No. What are those?
:D
Tiger können diese rüsting leicht durchbohren (me and my German spidy senses
Why no gloves??
Because I don't want to wear them.
KV2 IS VERY STRONK
The fake Russian accent, it was pretty funny, but you've done it a hundred times. And it's still the same line after all these years?
Is good stronk accent. Is no problem! New lines are for filthy capitalists.

KV2 was a tank failure. Moronic Soviet design.
+Diabolik771 You seem to have been upset by little plastic tanks. Are you okay?
"NAU!"
That’s the whole joke...
