Thanks, for some reason found the Verlinden tankers really easy to paint (highlights & shadow), perhaps the creases in the uniform was more defined...?? Nice figure set though, thanks for the comment👍
Thank you, AK Interactive’s Water, Ice & Snow helped ALOT…, really worth a look. Really enjoyed building this one, picked up a few new techniques… Thanks for the comment!👍
Wow, anything Mr Burns endorses must be worthy of credit.....😆😆 Really pleased you could get something out of these videos, good luck with future projects, cheers bud👍
Thanks Eric, glad you stumbled across the channel...😁👍This one was a bit of a learning curve with the foam bridge & the river, but still fun to build. Thanks for commenting (& the sub!)
Cheers Peter, thanks for that! Always good to try & learn some new techniques with each model, still a lot to improve on but happy with how it turned out.... New project is gaining momentum, updates being posted on instagram. Thanks again 👍
Thanks, overall I was happy with the outcome, the snow textures especially are nice to use. As always though there's things you'd try differently next time......thanks for commenting 👍
Bonjour mon ami félicitations pour ton fantastique diorama 👍🇫🇷 Hello my friend this is a master piece!!!!! Awesome job you are an example for me 😎👍 Thanks for sharings I enjoy watching your video this is a pleasure for the eyes 😎 Congrats buddy good days of France 🇫🇷 Happy new year 2019 to you and your family
Barbarossa 641 because of you and some other creators like you, next week i starting doing my first diorama and i going to make video about it ,so many thanks to you, your work is inspiration for many peoples
Thanks again...., you're right there are a lot of great modellers out there to get some ideas & inspiration, it's nice to be included in that bracket too......🙂 Good luck & enjoy your first diorama - looking forward to the first video 😀👍
As usual it's another masterpiece. The detail is outstanding and your videos are so full of information and detail that they are so enjoyable. Stunning work it truly is. I'm really looking forward to your next project. Happy new year my friend to you and your family. I hope you all have a brill but safe new year .
Hi Steve, thank you, as always, for your kind words mate... all the best to you too for 2019. Lookin' forward to cracking on with the next venture, standard dio with a bit of a twist 😏 Cheers bud!
Why did 17 folk dislike this? I'm sure some hit dislike just to make themselves feel good. I thought it worth watching just for the entertainment value of admiring your artistic talent.
Thanks Brian, appreciate that👍 I do try & mix the content of the videos up a little, to make up for model quality - compared to some of the excellent work & modelling on TH-cam. Really pleased you enjoyed the video, thank you for your kind words 🙂🙏
Thanks Guy, I know the 'red' especially on the tanker guys is till a little shiny, which I did use some matt varnish on already (perhaps not enough), but I can't say I find the same problem with the rest of them...perhaps something though I'll look into on the next figures I do, try it out? Thanks for the comment...
@@Barbarossamodels a really good diorama. I agree with Guy Gadois regarding the uniforms and wonder how they can be made to look more like material. By the way, like most boys I made Airfix kits when I was aged 14 but none since then until now. At the age of 68 I have just completed a T-34 with weathering and will enjoy putting together my first ever diorama. Thank you for the inspiration. My motto - 'it's never too late' :-)
Cheers Philip, it’s not a point that’s normally made too often, I use Vallejo paints like most for the figures & the finish is generally ok, but I may try finishing with a matt varnish next time....just to see if there’s a notable difference....? Great stuff you’ve rediscovered the hobby, good luck with your T34 dio - hopefully I’ll still be building by the time I get to your age!! No idea by then where I’ll be storing all the dioramas though .....probably be filling up the kitchen & bathroom......😆😳⛔️ Thanks for the feedback, appreciated👍
@@Barbarossamodels Hi again. Have you considered using artists acrylics. I paint and use high end acrylic paints, but as expensive as they are, they are a lot less costly than the ones produced by Tamiya, Vallejo etc. In fact, I bought a set of really low cost acrylic artists paints and for 18 36ml tubes was less than just 2 of the Tamiya small glass jars. They have worked really well, and of course you can mix your own colours. The cheaper artists acrylics tend to flow better than the more expensive ones - add water for using in the airbrush. :-) p.s. I finished the T-34. Am really please with the result :-)
Thanks again for the tip Philip, I’ve known people who do use artist acrylic paints, problem is I’ve built up a half decent Vallejo collection now, & am happy with them generally....😕 Considering going back to oils for faces though for a change, appreciate your feedback, well done on the T-34 & good luck with the forth coming dio. Cheers 🙂👍
Fair point Andrea..., the tank however was built about 10 years ago, 2nd time repainted, and obviously to open up any hatches now would be difficult without damage...., not to mention having nothing in the interior. If it was a new build no doubt I would've. Thanks for the feedback 🙂👍
Ok.....? As I'd mentioned in the video, the panzer was built 10 years ago, and this was its 3rd paint job (save buying a whole new kit). Armour modelling isn't a thing I've had a lot of experience with, it's just built straght out the box...👍
@@Barbarossamodels nah I am not.complaining, the paint job is really good and I like it, the barrel was just something I did not expect, hope it goes well my guy
Sorry Ben..., just seen your message now...😶 It's called 'Painting Guide for figures of World War 2', I actually did a review here on it: th-cam.com/video/XjlADpvS00A/w-d-xo.html just go to 7:34. I had someone ask me quite recently about that too, seems a little difficult to get hold of sometimes, availability etc....
I’m guessing you mean for the water effects..? I’ve seen other people just using PVA for the ripples on the water, with excellent results, so sure👍 Definitely a cheaper alternative !
Hi Adam, usual UK websites I use, especially for figures are:- historexagents.com fieldsofglory.co.uk scalemodelshop.co.uk But there's still a number of others, eBay's good if there's a particular figure that's hard to get hold of, and this site I've just used recently & it's pretty good......modernarmies-in-miniatures.de Hope that's of some help..🙂👍
You do Very nice work and great detail. I do think there is too much weathering on the tank, it looks more like one that had been knocked out and left on the battlefield 10 years after the war was over rather than one still in operation in 1943.
Hi.... thanks for commenting. Not had a lot of practice with armour modelling, and they’re are much better & more subtle white washed vehicles around online, but to be honest was pretty happy with how it turned out really..... Didn’t think it was too OTT, just tried to keep most of the wear around busier areas like hatches & horizontal surfaces. But I take your point though, as most things always room for improvement. Appreciate the feedback 🙂👍
Don't take me wrongly, your technique is Excellent and thoroughly Realistic, movie Special Effects Grade. It's just that I think the German Tank Crew and their Commander would never let their machines get that far gone without some paint touchup and the rust could never have advanced that far even if the tank survived 5 years of the war.
Thanks again, thats fair enough...., maybe they were just a bit too lazy then....😆😆. You're right about the rust though, something somebody else picked up on too.... Cheers 👍
I assume you mean this one at 4:10 ? I actually did a quick review of this book here:- th-cam.com/video/XjlADpvS00A/w-d-xo.html You'll find it there at 9:10 👍
Why the fuck does everyone think that the only way to make tanks look real is to add loads of rust. Considering when the Tigers were released and how long they were active there was stuff all rust. Yet every other modeler adds rust like a full body paint job. How long do you think the war went for?!
Stalingrad figures I find (Russian prisoner & children) do tend to be smaller than their Miniart/Dragon etc.... counterparts in general. Then some of the Verlinden figs were larger still, the problem with mixing manufacturers I guess. But they are all marketed 1:35 scale.

Nice Paul, it was an interesting time in history for sure. Thanks for commenting.....
Looks amazing, a brand called krycell do really good snow and ice products ,they're a lot cheaper than AK too.
Thanks Travis, the AK stuff was nice to use and have enough left in those tubs for 3-4 more models, but will take a look at the Krycell....👍

Use a straw to blow the resin. More controlled and focused. Try it.
I saw the airbrush idea elsewhere & it seemed to work ok! Good advice on using a straw though Frank 🙂👍
Wonderful work. I think a matte finish would be better on the figures.

You need see more Germans war chronic, or photo
this bridge construction not from Russia, anywhere
may be Cremea, but tank...

Anthony Quinn,
Nice diorama. Looking at your videos one may think that the Germans are liberators, why don’t you show the murdered kids by the same Germans
