    Hey mates,
    don't wanna be a debbie downer, but that Tiger from this video... I won't finish it anytime soon :( It would be one of those massive projects and I wouldn't have time for that right now. But don't be sad, there are German cats and other animals coming to this channel in the near future!!! Some of them small, others quite big... :)

      Right? This is what you do to the plastic to show that it's been destroyed- the "burnt out" part is what you would do with various paints and textures for rust, soot, rubber ash, paint distressed from heat, etc. Best way to replicate that is lots and lots of real life reference photos.

  • @markfergerson2145
    @markfergerson2145 4 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    Good stuff. I used a woodburning iron many many years ago- it ran cooler than a soldering iron so the plastic is less likely to burn and the melted plastic looks more like deformed armor.

    That peppered Tiger reminds me of a post war photo from Sharpness fireing range where AP rounds were being tested.

Diorama idea?.

    Martin. Tamiya putties seem to contain acetone. You could use it for this sort of clean-up you mention in this video. And also when the putty hardens in the tube. Just add a drop or two of acetone into the tube, mix it in with say a toothpick and you're ready to go. Saves a lot of money.
    And BTW I really enjoy your wonderful videos.

  • @RamMasterRay
    @RamMasterRay 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    When I used to build Gundam models I would sometimes used a soldering iron to burrow battle scars into their shields and armor. The benefit of using the soldering iron is the displacement of plastic that looks a bit more like actual impacts on metal. Also adding a bit of rust color to some of the holes gives the impression of a vehicle that's been through several battles.

    The way I usually do this is with a hobby knife, because I'm too damn lazy to go buy a drill. It has the benefit of creating really uneven holes and scratching the hell out of the panel, which both help make it a lot more interesting I think. I definitely like your technique better though.
