  • My friends, not only we're about to spray a rather complex four-tone camouflage, but we'll also make the saddest tank in history!

    Just in case anybody missed the talent of Martin: Just watch how he painted the VERY THIN black outline between the camo shades. Thats brush skill! Ive never seen anybody doing so long lines in. single stroke.

    This has to be my favorite color scheme you’ve done yet. The colors just pop! And the marking imperfections are so clean. But the cherry on the cake, is that sad looking ☠️ to finish it off.

      WW1 ship dazzle paint was amazing. There is a photo of a ship in harbour in Liverpool.. 300 feet long photographed from across the dock.. in colour... and it's almost impossible to see.. it's like it's there but your eyes just can't lock on.

    Hi from switzerland! Just wanted to say: I follow your show about 1 year now. And it improved my skills extremliy. As an concept artist, i can say, some techniques are also applyable to 3D texturing and naturaly on real life props (Game&Movie). Thank's for sharing!!

  • @gromit368
    @gromit368 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Very nice! I was impressed at the steadiness of your free hand painting the 'black' lines with the pin striping brush. Skills!!!! The A7V is definitely a colourful beastie.

  • @stephenbridges2791

      I don't think they quite got why the Mk 1 was the shape it was. Most WW2 tanks would honestly have had problems if put into a WW1 battlefield.

    That color scheme is AWESOME! It reminds me of a race car, in fact I can almost hear the driver - "The Iron Cross-Iron Cross-Iron Cross-Skullduggery A7V was performing top notch today, until we had that unfortunate off-course excursion. I'm not saying it was Mazepin's fault, but it was Mazepin's fault."
