I had as much fun watching this as I'd have painting the tank myself :) Interesting point about spare tracks weathering. It seems like lot of modelers do not realize what tanks were made of. Let alone the tracks, but the tank body made of panzer steel or wealds containing nickel - they all are very resistant to corrosion and it takes years of being abandoned in the woods to get so rusty as you can observe in case of many today's models. They are supposed to portray a vehicle that's been in action just few weeks or months, but they are overloaded with all the rusty effects . It seems like giving too much (rust) weathering products to some guys is like giving a razor blade to a child.
You hit the point. This is exactly why I limit the effects of rust on my models because it is not natural and realistic. Of course, here and there to add a little color, but without exaggeration. WHAT you wrote is 100% true and I agree. :)
Hi Lukas! The way the hand painted camo turned out was a bit of a revelation to me. What a fantastic job you did with the brush. I am not a confident user of the air brush yet, so you have inspired me to try your hand brushing techniques on my next build. Love your work! Greetings from 🇦🇺!
That Tiger Royal looks very cool! I dig how you replicated the shell strikes. Super cool and realistic. My mind still can’t comprehend how a round can do that to an angled solid steel plate! Fantastic small brushwork my man, can’t wait to see it fully completed 👌🏻
I really enjoy the work you do! Your commentary is funny with some truth! Please continue with your creative skills! So many of us learn so much and gain a lot of information from you. Thx so much! 😄
Great video my friend the use of a paint brush to do the camouflage is excellent nice job on the detailing looks fantastic like the red primer underneath looks forward to seeing it weathered thanks for sharing 👍👍
Hi Lukasz, that wzs a fantastic video, of how you have done the camo scheme, another was I have seen us brush paint the outside edges of camo and then airbrush the inner part, what ever yoh do is perfect and I enjoy watching all your videos, keep safe and well, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia.
That, my friend is a STUNNING paint job, almost a shame you are going to put a winter wash over it! I like your weathering, subtlety is definitely the way to go here! Way too many modellers weather tanks to the point they look like they’ve been sitting rusting in a scrapyard for years. Some fail to remember that crews did maintain their vehicles and also, due to the nature of war, many tanks didn’t live long enough to get weathered!
Watching videos like these was a BIG mistake as I'm getting back into modelling after 20+ years since I was a kid I now want my Airfix starter kits to end up looking like yours but somehow I don't think that's going to happen. Keep up the great builds and content mate
I watch your videos and I absolutely love it! An info about minute 27:35 - in addition to the further marking with cross bars, tactical symbol of the unit and symbol of the division, a capital letter (e.g. G for Guderian, K for Kleist) was often used to identify tank groups. The G thus stands for the Panzer Group Guderian. Now I'm watching your next video! Cheers, John
Great job painting the green and brown by hand! I have a Panther to build & I was worried about how to do those after the dark yellow. Using a pencil to draw the outlines & paint the areas by hand seems like the best way to go now. 👍
I tend to find that metal on tracks in active service (eg the ones driving the tank) have little to no corrosion, whereas spare tracks or tracks on vehicles in museums or so have corrosion. The only notable acceptation is the Leopard 1-2 series’ track connectors Hope this helps :)
I really like this. can't wait for the next part. What fire extinguisher decals are they, and where can I find some! They really set it off. Apparently a black G on the tank means it has the motor coolant treated with glysantin, which is an antifreeze.
The decals for fire Extinguishers you can find on Ebay. And for black G letter i thought it was for glysantin but read somewhere that there are some doubts about that. :)
I have a question, for the German late war heavy tanks like Jagdtigers and King tigers, didn’t they paint the camo with the side skirts and mudguards. Meaning that if they fell off or were discarded that the original German primer would be showing where the original side skirts and mudguards?
Just add 3-4- drops of thinner for 10 drops of paint. Try on some old m odel how it will workj for you. Make some trails. I mix the paints for brush painting without any exact proportions. The brush should flow easily over the surface :)
Instead of a metal primer I use mr metal colour dark iron.It’s graphite based and primes well.If it does chip you get a dark steel metallic colour.Lovely looking build cheers for sharing.Have you seen rochm models PE upgrades for King tiger?
Im still fairly new to the hobby. I have a tiger 2 and panther d and im really worried about doing the camo patterns. One screw up and it could be ruined.

How did you remove the grease on the surface ? I saw you APPLY a grease thinner, but I did not see you REMOVE the thinned grease. After applying a thick layer of remover, you must somehow wipe off the liquid. If you don't, you will only dilute the grease and spread it out, all over the model. It has become a thinner layer. You did not remove it. At all.
@@coldemonspl : Then... Why did it not evaporate before? By adding thinner and brushing it, you only distributed the grease. The thinner evaporated and the grease remained. But now, as a thinner layer and spread out over a larger area.
The tracks on the turret on KT’s and Tiger I’s were brand new tracks never used so would be black from the factory. They do rust up over time but seriously it’s war and these vehicles didn’t last years 😳😳😳 so… plus… you bought your model, detailed it with your bits n pieces, painted it with YOUR paint so you “should” be allowed to paint it in any way you like… bright pink with blue dots if you want 😉🤣😂 seriously people pay far to much attention to what others have to say. Me, I build my models my way, it’s probably wrong in many peoples eyes but it works for me so… opinions are like arse holes… EVERYONE has one but some will be louder than others 🤣🤣🤣 for me personally I love your videos.

@@TheGrumpyOldModeller What you wrote has been known to me for a long time. A real vehicle and a model are two different things. If I were to make a real vehicle, dusty and dirty as the model actually was, it would have nothing to offer the viewer except a collection of dust. That's why I paint my models and weather them so that they attract the eye. I know that this way I'm cheating a bit with the effects I use, but if I have to choose, I prefer an interesting miniature rather than a super realistic one. I think this is where the painting of spare tracks with a lot of rust, etc., came from. Personally, I don't like it and for some time now I have definitely reduced the amount of rust on my models. Exactly for the reasons you write about in your earlier comment. To sum up - a tank is a tank, a model is a model, and our eye wants to have the joy of looking at contrasts because they stimulate the brain to work :)
To show humor and wit in a second language is very cool.

Yep. But the tracks in museum are a bit away ftom the real ones because of the time they are on the tank presented :)

Some of them were painted entirely in camo and some had a strip of red undercoat paint. :)

Paint is out of the bottle or you thinned it down? I'll be building Jagdtiger soon and brushed camo looks really great! :)
Yes, they were thinned wit Acrylic Doctor from Modellers World. :)
I Like it a lot😉 Wich color/Brand did you use for the Brown camo ?
greetz from the Netherlands.
Thx! I used flat brow from Vallejo 984.
Czym i w jakiej proporcji mniej więcej ten primer od AK robiłeś ? Te kolorowe są kapryśne strasznie.
A wiesz co, generalnie bardzo na oko. Czerwone mleko było w aero i leciało bardzo ładnie. Bez zatkania. :)
Im still fairly new to the hobby. I have a tiger 2 and panther d and im really worried about doing the camo patterns. One screw up and it could be ruined.
Just analyze my work and try on some plastic box. After that make some painting on the model. Good luck! :)
What did you use for the antennae? Top brush work btw
Antenna rod is RB model part. :)
Hi Lukas from Malaysia here
During priming what was the pressure and ratio used
I always use 3-4- bar for painting and priming. And ratio just to make milk and to have nice flow through the nozzle :)
