HOW TO PAINT: Towing cables in 1/35 scale, tutorial

All our models in 1/35 scale are enriched with towing cables. So for today's HOW TO PAINT episode I prepared short tutorial (step by step) to show you some of my tricks I use to make the towing ropes interesting and realistic. The best result we can achieve using metal cables.

Excellent tutorial. I agree that reference photos are a modeler's best friend

Hi buddy, really nice work on the tow cables. This is one thing I always struggle with, but not anymore since watching your video tutorial. Thank you for showing us how.
cheers Gary 🇬🇧

[@coldemonspl]

Great! Good lick with your cables Gary! :)

[@garylawless3608]

A very good tutorial on this subject Lukas. I really look forward to your ‘how to’ videos, as they show us how to achieve great results in an efficient way. I have learned a great deal from all of your work, and I thank you for sharing your experience with us. Keep them coming my friend, and greetings from Australia 🇦🇺!

[@coldemonspl]

Many thx for your comment Gary! Hope to make more HTP videos in the future! :)

[@bastelbude4100]

Finally Monday and it's tutorial time again from Lukas. Very good. Nice well explained tutorial from you🤘🏻

[@coldemonspl]

Oh mate, many thx for your kind words. :)

In my experience with tow cables on US Army vehicles, those things are very stiff. Not flexible like hemp or nylon rope. The cables are frustratingly difficult to force to lay flat, and kinks are common. Just like you illustrate on that last (Russian) pair. Modelers should keep that in mind when placing them on their tanks.

[@coldemonspl]

Thank youcvery much for you comment! Pure knowledge and experience to use on our models. I know that some models need to stretch a reality a bit but we need to keep in mind what you just wrote. Thx! :)

[@armoredsaint6639]

Yes Sir!…Thank You Sir!……lol

[@lesthiele4921]

Hi Lukasz, that was another great tutorial video, I liked the idea of holding the cables up with the tooth picks, one quextion if I may, does your wife know you are using her hairdryer? Best regards from Australia.👍👍👍👍

[@coldemonspl]

Hahaha, Les, this is my hairdryer for many years. I dont remember where I found it but my wife has far better one in the bathroom :)

Очень полезный и важный видеоурок. Побольше таких видео делайте.
Так же мне лично очень интересно посмотреть по окраске казённой части орудия при окраске интерьера танка.
Сейчас собираю Тигр 1 от gwh с интерьером и очень интересно как правильно окрашивать этот элемент орудия.

[@coldemonspl]

Well, for now I dont have any interior in my plans, but please look for some work of my friend Sergiusz Peczek because he made some awesome Panther with full interior and this can be your guide in painting. :)

What make degreaser and primer did you use?

[@coldemonspl]

Model degreaser from Modellers World, metal primer from MR.Hobby and spray primer from AK.

[@robertgraham1511]

I would like to ask does it also apply for tow cables that go around the eyelet?

[@coldemonspl]

Yes, it should be also there. Did I miss something during the video? :)

[@ada42klm]

Dear Friend! It's always great to watch you do what you do best and that is, military model making. I think you picked a good subject to talk about, towing cables, and it's very intuitive. Thank you so much for sharing and I'm looking forward to your next episode. Kudos to you 😀.
