Your colour modulation tips are awesome, and the chipping on the tank is first class. I'm always afraid of overdoing it, so it's nice to see how much is "enough" :-) Yet another fine tutorial series! - Trevor
thanks Trevor really happy you found it useful to you ! chipping is one of those things that can wrong very fast, but I always find it of great use to visualize what is causing said chips and it helps with placing them and the intensity in which they are applied :)
Can't wait for part 3! I did one of these a while ago and Wow! I may have to do it again. Great video, Great work!! I learn a lot from every one of your videos. Thanks so much for sharing...
thanks Pete ! very glad you enjoyed it the channel really has come a long way these last few months its all thanks to my great subsribers and wonderful community you guys have created here !
excellent video Shane. Lovin' the M10. By the way, those are T-51 rubber block tracks. The only reason I know that is because I ordered a set of link by link T-51 tracks from Panda Plastics. Assembly promises to be very monotonous
thanks Danny ! hahs they are so VVSS and HVSS track types I can never remember them lol was looking at Bronco's track sets myself they all look very intense to say the least
That's a good shade for British armor what did you say that was Armor green from vallejo, cool I use there 2 olive drabs and the pre shate under coat similar but using white in the High spot's, I've been experimenting with that AK Transparator for the pre shading and it's working nice! One Normal coat of the base coat and then I'm trying the Transparator mixed in the next layers and it's definitely working well for easy and fast modulation that looks good great video's bud watch alot.
@@longlance67 the Ak Transparator I just bought out of curiosity really thought it was just another gimmick like but it's brilliant mate! Compared it to vallejo I bought the same week it's just a different thing it is a glaze but god hard to explain you'll see when you try it mate! Cheers for that paint code!
This 3 part video has really helped me getting better models! Thank you so much Shane and here is a new subscriber :) Just one question tho, when you applied the first olive drab layer, did you cover the "black" parts or just mist it lightly so you still can see the shadows through?
thanks mate always happy to be of help ! the trick with the preshade is lay the paint thin over it so you can control how much you can see if the shadow layer
Shane is rendering an older tank with a lot of dirt and rust. Hence, this is a tank that had a rough life. However, just like many other modelers, he forgets to weather or damage the most fragile parts on this tank: the RUBBER parts !! The wheels and track pads were the first items to get damaged, even though this rubber is very tough and durable. Most modelers overlook this part of the build. They weather a tank to death, but always forget to simulate damage on the wheels and tracks. Another details most modelers overlook, is the fact that most tanks had a very short life span, so few of them had a chance to rust. They did get dirty, but heavily worn and rusted....no....that was only for the few tanks that managed to survive for years.
very true indeed ! out of all elements of a tank its rudder pads on tracks that wear first, and then the wheels its something I should do more to be fair lol
was looking at that kit too, and have seen Adam build the few RFM Tigers he has on our chats but they seem too intense for my purposes as interiors are very depending indeed, so I went for a kit that has great exterior and lets me get stuck in right away, have a simple diorama for it too
Take two American WW2 vehicles that came off of the production line one after the other, set them in the sun for two weeks, and more likely than not you'll have two shades of OD green. So close enough is, indeed, close enough! :-)
People get waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too caught up in "Correct Color". You must remember, out in the field the crews and maint. units used what they had. There was an FS standard but that was only followed IF possible. We even used enemy paint, just like all armies. Just saying.
I would agree that there is an obsession of color that is prevalent in the hobby. I tend to operate in the hobby middle ground, close enough to be faithful yet still interesting to the eye
For someone who doesn't like painting tracks you sure do a heck of a job
Thanks mate! Tracks and wheels are one of those things that drive me mad lol
I subscribed to your channel. You will help me a lot.i retired and was looking for a hobby, so after 45 years I got back into modeling

thanks Mike ! part three has just been completed so stay tuned for it, shall be hitting the channel in the next week or so !
thanks mate
Great video on modulation ive always been scared to try it but this video makes me want ti try it
its too bad once you get used to it and develop the airbrush control to get the most out of it :)
Excellent video Shane, looking forward to part 3
thanks Jeff should be up in the next few weeks !
Deadly mate...just deadly! Splendid work as always!
thanks Micheal
Very nice results Shane. Cracking work mate
thanks Mark !
lovely work there shane and nicely demonstrated! i have to admit i quite like the m10. the interior is really visible there.
thanks Micheal ! was very surprised by just how much of interior that could be seen !
Wow Shane! 10/10 👍 The kit is coming out amazing, aslo the tutorial also very clear and informative. Feels like a new you!
thanks Pete ! very glad you enjoyed it
the channel really has come a long way these last few months its all thanks to my great subsribers and wonderful community you guys have created here !
brill stuff again mate always enjoyable and very informative to watch.
cheers mate
Great job Shane. Trying to get mine done also. Awaiting the gloss coat and decals. Looking forward to your final reveal also.
its a nice kit, though working between the interior and then going back to build exterior makes it feel like a much longer build indeed !
Roger that.
Another great tutorial Shane. I have my first tank on the shelf to build. I'll keep you in my favorites. Regards, Solomon
thanks Solomon, hope it will be of some use to you in own Armor adventures !
mate same old same old brilliant work my friend it's a big thumbs up again take care buddy
cheers my friend glad you enjoyed it !
Very good video. Thanks for doing these videos.
glad you enjoyed it !

Its armor green but I believe its their RLM71 color now. That sound likes a neat idea using glazes for modulation will need to try it out!

Very Nice.

Great video! You should try the new mission models olive drab. It looks and sprays great.
cheers mate, will do

Great.It will help me with the group build.Are gonna enter the build?
yip I am, its the reason I got the kit :)
Lovely work Shane. But I gotta say, I chuckled ever time I heard "terp on da tarrit."...lol
:)
its how we roll butchering the English language one word at a time :P
Pro trick : watch movies at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching loads of movies lately.
@Junior Fisher Yea, I've been watching on Flixzone for since december myself :)
@Junior Fisher definitely, I have been watching on Flixzone for since november myself :D
@Junior Fisher Yea, I've been using flixzone for years myself :)
Brilliant love it. Thankyou
cheers mate,glad you enjoyed it !
Great Tutorial! Just curious, how'd you make the tarp?! (Sorry if its been asked before)
It was made out if milliput putty
That will be easy for you. I got to get on my rfm 5003.it has interior.Got a little bit done and nothing done.Ain't got tha mojo going.
was looking at that kit too, and have seen Adam build the few RFM Tigers he has on our chats but they seem too intense for my purposes as interiors are very depending indeed, so I went for a kit that has great exterior and lets me get stuck in right away, have a simple diorama for it too
Do you have any video's of painting the tiger1?
shall have one in the next few weeks as I have one on the way

very true and gives us modelers plenty of space to work in ;)
What is the lovely piano song in background?
What kit?
Dragon's Tiger 1 mid with Zimm
