Love the idea of mixing pignent with white spirit to form a dust/dirt wash. Not heard of that technique before, but will be trying it from now on. Thanks for the tip👍
Just received the Miniart Grant w/full interior as a Bday present. This tutorial will definitely be one I return to. thanks for taking the time to create and share
Superb. I like how you didn't go overboard with the chipping, and applied several layers of surface dust. The effect you've achieved is subtle and very realistic. I haven't made an AFV for a long time (I prefer 1/72 aircraft) but you've inspired me to have a go at one again.
Hi Ian thankyou very much, its tricky to stay in that fine line between underweathered and over and I'm glad you think it's about right, feedback is always good , good or bad. Best of luck with your future armour builds
Very nice work. 👍👍👍Great mix idea and airbrushing technique with the Mission Models paint. Like your use of Oils to weather the model. I have this kit partially built. I did go with aftermarket tracks by Panda Plastics and Echelon Decals M3 Grant and Lee collection. On doing the roadwheels rubber tires, I use a Quickwheel Mask, I ordered off Ebay, and it works quite well and saves a little time.😏😁
Thanks a lot ! I'm scared of tracks as it is, the link and length ones were enough for me. Although I do want to try some Metal tracks at some point. I hope you enjoy the rest of your build !
Love the way you use and explain all the techniques using oil paints. I definitely need a good gradation brush. Hasegawa have some gradation brushes but they are a bit expensive. I will try to find the same brand as yours. Thank you !!!
As always, it looks amazing, I especially like the way you painted the tools, it's a small touch but makes a surprisingly big difference, I will deffinately be trying that out on my Takom Bulldog!
Hey James, I love your style. Every time I watch I can't help but think how similar your style of building, filming and editing is to mine. Maybe that's why I'm so drawn to your channel. You really knocked this build out of the park. KUTGW!
Dude... not at all and I hope you didn’t take my comment the wrong way. I just meant when you see someone doing a similar thing to you it makes me feel we’re on similar modelling paths. I respect the way you do things and thus why I like watching your videos so much... well and you're a hell of a good modeller as well. Stay safe my friend.
@@SmallSoldier no mate not at all ! I know what you mean, although I need to pull my finger out with the figures again and catch up ! I have a few upcoming for a top secret dio. I think this cabin fever is getting to me already 😁
Very nice work... I was curious about your choice of Light Stone, as I always thought that was an RAF colour, while the Army used Middle Stone. Always something new to learn!
Thanks ! After some research I found they used a Scc colour that was penned as light stone, I dont know much about british armour but it married up with the Mission Models colour ok .
Hi James, wow, what a fine job, it looks fantastic. I've only recently come across your channel. I'm glad I did. I have one of these in the stash, in fact I believe I've got the old tamiya one, to. If I wasn't doing a build along on the new Rye fields M-ATV or basically an Mrap, on my channel, I would of done mine after seeing this excellent video 9f yours. Stay safe buddy, I'm looking forward to your next video
@@lpjmodels Also one last question..about what would you say your olivegrun/elf/gleb ratios were for the mottling? It doesn't look too stark..maybe 80/10/10?

Great build, particularly liked the chipping, tool handle wood grain and dust effects 👍🏻
Thanks mate !
great work. I am about to paint & weather 2 more desert vehicles (1 all light stone and 1 caunter). Will be back to rewatch as I progress
Nice work on the model! I have this kit my stash and your tutorial will be very helpful when it comes time to the paint and weather. Keep 'em coming!
Great work! I think I will be trying these techniques out for myself on a similar project soon. Stay safe everybody!

You're welcome Eric !

Great model. Wonderful weathering effects. Good job.
Thanks a lot !
Hi, it's very nice work. It's easy to understand by your step by step painting. Also it's very helpful to me, thank you !!!
Great job. Well done,

you just made my weekend sir !. favourite tank built and painted beautifully .thank you :)
Your very welcome Allan !

That's a beauty! I've been tempted on this kit myself even though I mainly model 1/72 Armour.
Many thanks ! I haven't dont any 72nd armour for ages... got the itch though
Love the way you use and explain all the techniques using oil paints. I definitely need a good gradation brush. Hasegawa have some gradation brushes but they are a bit expensive. I will try to find the same brand as yours. Thank you !!!
The hasegawa looks very suspiciously like a makeup brush, might be worth seeing if there is anything similar in a local beauty shop !
As always, it looks amazing, I especially like the way you painted the tools, it's a small touch but makes a surprisingly big difference, I will deffinately be trying that out on my Takom Bulldog!
Thanks! Good luck with the bulldog !
Excellent video, so many great tips and techniques, amazing result. Now I know how to paint my 1/24 Maus. Thank you.
Thanks a lot Sera !
Great build and great tutorial ! Thanks man.
Your welcome, thanks for watching !
Excellent as always James!
Thanks mate !
Outstanding work yet again buddy, enthralled to see what's on the bench next👍😉🤓
Thanks Dave ! Thanks again for stopping by.. just saw cosford was cancelled, though it was a bit far from sunny (lol) devon for me this time.
Looks great 👍

Amazing work.
Thanks !
Superb!
Excellent! Subscribed :)
Hello, very nice job with the paint but no fuel drips? 🙂
👌🏻
Nice
Many thanks !
23:51 interesting music choice
question seal the kit then weather or weather then seal the kit??
Are you using any transparent medium to get the more translucent coats? I know sometimes MMP can get fussy when excessively reduced
Hi J. L., usually I do but I ran out for this build, so it was just thinner and poly. I think I actually overthinned the paint this time.
@@lpjmodels Gotcha, thankfully it doesn't look like it impeded your progress in any real way
@@lpjmodels Also one last question..about what would you say your olivegrun/elf/gleb ratios were for the mottling? It doesn't look too stark..maybe 80/10/10?
No I got a little overspray, I'll just be more careful next time, usually get tight spraying all the time.
I think I went with a little more yellow, 70/10/20 with very light coats !
This is an Ork tank 😉
