Love the more realistic/historical style you accomplished here. Well done! Saying that I don't mind a lot of the others going crazy with the rot and rust, but this is my favorite 100%
Thank you for describing your painting process along with demonstrating it. So many painting videos show but don't really describe what they are doing. Very helpful Adam!
Adam thanks a bunch for taking your time to do the video like this, showing all the process and w/ voiceover it's really a treat to watch. warts et al end result is still lovely. kudos.
The Panther, being one of my favorite tanks, is one I watch all the buil videos I can. I've seen this one several time and may I say that it is still one of the best I've seen on U-tube.
Thank you very much, I'm not sure I deserve such a compliment. There are things I really dont like on this one, the camo was very rewarding though. Thanks again though.
Nice work Adam, Gods speed with that , right on , inspiring . I know time is hard , bench time is precious . The weathering is subtle , perhaps the hair spray chipping method , and modulation in the tri camo scheme. Your work is spot on!!!! Right on ! So many details , well done Thanks for sharing
Excellent work. Love the camo and weathering. very well done. I didn't know that Wilder made pigments. I agree with your chipping method as it does give some depth to the scratches on the vehicle.
I really like the more subtle weathering that you do here Adam. For my taste, I don't think everything needs to look like it's been beat to shit, and then driven through a swamp.
Have bin watching this video many times over and over again. You aren´t only good at modeling, but also making videos! Looks really realistic an keep it up. Best regards Erik hansson!
PANTHER.......!!!! My all time favourite tank. Very interesting cammo spray technique Adam; will give it a go on next Panther build (Zvezda Ausf. D) Really hooked on the KAIZEN tracks too, thanks to your review back in April.
Hello Adam, I do hope your well and having a great start to the new year. I’m just about to start one of these and have found this video invaluable. Plenty of side notes on instructions thanks to your experiences with it. Thanks for such a great video of a brilliant build, well done you. Take care, best wishes to you and family. Hope to see more of your videos soon. Ken.
Yip....watched the video again! Need to get a couple of Panthers now, for my Wiking and Nordland! Informative, educational, inspiring and entertaning as always Adam!
I just finished the panther ausf d by Tamiya and this vid was very helpful on the camo job I did, it was based off of the late war battle of Kursk camo.
Great work, really liked your step by step walk through, the pace was just right and like many others I really enjoyed the music. Subscribed and soon to be watching more of your videos.
Great job Adam! I agree with your "not too much weathering" on a late war tank. I recently did a Jagdtiger and barely did anything other than a wash. Those things were not around long enough to get chipped paint or rust. It is hard to leave them looking like new but for a vehicle that saw action for a month or two at most that's probably they way they looked. Your videos are great.
Hey, man. I just watched your video. Very impressive. I know you said you were dissatisfied with the clear-coat result but when it comes down to it you took light 'plasticy' styrene and made it look like heavy plate steel. Kudos.
She's beautiful, Adam. Excellent job with the video too. I appreciate the zoom-ins - no one does it better. By the way, I prefer a less weathered look so don't let other modelers get in your head. Also your technique of air brushing with small, thin strokes is a brilliant insight. I think it recreated an extremely realistic pattern.
Well Done Adam!!! I love the Buff tamiya choice, excellent in scale choice, its what you see. I tend to use the buff as well on German Armor. Anyway Adam, thank you for sharing Cheers! Just a note, Archer dry transfers....they take a few times to get use to. But i think they are superior , just a note
Hey Adam panther came up fantastic, theres no right or wrong way of painting/weathering. Everyone has different perspective of what it should look like, colour tones drives you crazy if u think about too much. some things u talked about when u were making the kit sounded familiar to me. Great thing about model making is that once you finish a model that ur reasonably happy with u can grap another one and go through the whole thing again - steep learning curve but still fun. Cheers
Very well done man. you're a real pro. I like how you describe such details. I personally don't use an airbrush or and of the stuff you use I use the Tamiya spray can stuff and brush paint my camo which is sometimes turns out OK.
Thanks man.You are absolutely correct about the pin marks. The original plan was to cover them up with spare tracks and I decided to just finish the video without them. I'll have to add something there to cover it up.
Ever video I watch brings a little more respect from me as to your talents. it's a toss up as to who is better you, or "Panzermeister 36". I think however that you are a bit more of a rivet counter ( which is not a bad thing in my opinion) while he always seems to be genuinely surprised when his models turn out fantastic. At any rate I am humbled by either one of you. Thanks again for the interesting and inspiring videos.
Thanks man, I actually agree very much with your points on Evan and myself. I tend to get caught up on the technical aspects of vehicles and he is very go with the flow. I envy his outlook in a lot of ways. We build models while talking on Skype quite a bit so he tries to help me be less stuck on things, and I explain tool clamps and track types to him. You're too kind though.
little hint for wooden handles rub 320 Grit over handle in a length motion , leaves tiny sunked lines like wood grain then paint and the wash will sit in the lows just nice ..
Hi, the wire cutter handles were made from Bakelite (wood chips compressed in resin, a primative plastic) not the "Presstof" laminated compressed fiber/paper/resin. Germans wore hobnailed boots so the paint would be scratched down to bare metal in many points the crew used to mount the Panzer. But the Auf G likely didn't get as many boarding/dismounting cycles before it was issued then destroyed, as you mentioned.
Cracking build right there, just goes to show that the age of kit isn't necessary to make something beautiful. Love the editing style too, might have employ (poach) some techniques for my channel.
Been away from the modelling for awhile and what'ya know Adam builds a nice Pather G! Very nice weathering....a small idea if I may, try weathering powers for the model instead of dot filters, I use a fan brush and use circular motions, to me it's more realistic since they got dirty this way anyhow...but of course just a suggestion. Great You tube channel......
Hi, I am a newbie to airbrushing and using masking solution and need your expert suggestion on how to properly remove the masking solution without scratching the underlying base paint I applied. I am working on a Tamiya Leopard A4 and the two-color camouflage scheme requires that I first airbrush a layer of red brown, applied masking solution to outline the camouflage pattern, then airbrush the olive drab over the red brown and the masking solution. But maybe I applied too thin a layer of masking solution or too thick a layer of the olive drab paint, when I tried to remove the masking solution using a small tweezers, I always scratched the underlying red brown paint. And since I applied a thin layer of masking solution (I used the Mr. Hobby Masking Sol R), it’s become difficulty to discern the contour of the masking solution under the 2 layer of the olive drab paint! Do you have any suggestion? As a last resort, I might just spray over the scratched surface and use the one-color camouflage scheme. Thanks for any suggestions!
Tamiya acrylic paint is very susceptible to scratching. My thoughts are you needed to clear coat the base before chipping fluid. Or maybe even use a primer red as your base coat as those are lacquer paints.
Hi there great video thanks for sharing the process. Could you please tell me what what is the name and where can I able to buy those masking circles for the wheels. They looks like a really handy tool to have as im always struggle painting with hand . Thanks in advance best regards Danny
As always this was a phenomenal video. I am preparing to do a tri color on my king tiger and will use your tips as a guideline. I have recently branched out from modeling and have started to collect German relics from WW2. I was hoping somewhere down the line you may devote a video to the topic. I am finding that soldiers personal items are easy enough to find but panzer relics are proving to be more elusive. Maybe you could share some of your sources?
That's great to hear! My biggest handicap is funds. I saw a few tread links that were $500+ and right now that isn't something I can justify spending. I was thinking maybe starting small, any bits or pieces from a tank. I am not picky, even something small would hold sentimental value for me because I know where it came from. I am not really sure where to look because most sellers have high price stuff. Maybe you have some ideas?
I started with some bits from Russia that I honestly still don't know what are. They were $10 and had primer and yellow on them. It just spiraled out of control from there. A track link is going to be expensive if you want a big cat, Panther and Tiger links are usually no less than around what you said there. A Panzer III/IV track can be had (depending on the type) for around $100, but then you have to get it to where you live. That's been the adjustment for me from models. Shipping heavy metal objects from Europe is pricey. But American sellers are collectors and will charge you way more. Usually the combination of cost & shipping from European sellers is still less expensive than a US collector. Assuming you're from the US. There are militaria groups on facebook I'm in, but I have only bought one piece that way. It's risky as there is no protection from ebay. I get most of my stuff on ebay, and it takes a lot of searching to find something worth buying. I do the same thing I did with models with tank parts. I have a number of searches I do (or have bookmarks for) that I check every day. Most days I find nothing. It's almost like digging for them myself. There are also dedicated WWII militaria sites that sell these things. I have had good dealings with a Latvian guy named Jevgenijs, that runs the site www.relicsww2.com. I've only bought a few pieces from him, but he's a solid guy. A little pricey, but I would describe Jevgenijs as a more accessible and respectable digger. You do have to understand that if you start dealing with the sellers from Russia, Latvia, and Estonia, no two are the same. Some work with Legenda, which sends information and dog tags to the respective country, and others, well...others you just don't know. I have to state that I only buy vehicle parts, I"m usually against buying things like personal items and identification tags. Have a look around the Panzer tab on Jevgenijs site, you'll get a feel for what things cost. he's on the higher side of diggers as far as prices go, but he's very reliable.
Thanks for that link, he's got a ton of stuff even if it is a little pricey. I think I am going to grab that panzershreck shield he has up for sale. I agree with you on the matter of personal items such as dog tags, I feel like that's a bit too morbid. I've seen some relic helmets with obvious combat damage too. It looks like this will be another rabbit hole to explore, thanks again.
im going to build a panther soon too scale 1/35 from tamiya... the aneversirary box with metal gun barrel and such... as i normaly always builded airplanes, .... i am looking forward to it. but im gonna take it slow date time expected to be ready some where next year :)
Really good job on this panther I really like the camouflage and don’t worry about the dust under the clearcoat it happens to me all the time..... I saw you used Tamiya Flat Black as a primer I use NATO black but it seems that after I primed the model with the acrylics I let it dry a couple of days and I go over it with Tamiya Xf-60 It gets like a gritty feel does this happen to you also when outing Tamiya acrylic on top of Tamiya acrylic
I just re-read your comment. I used to get a lot of orange peel, had to do with a few things. Too high of pressure, not thinning paint enough and being too far away from the model.
Thank you for the response I’ve tried everything and I’m still getting a slight gritty finish with the Tamiya acrylic ..... panzermiester suggested that I try thinning it 2 parts thinner to 1 part paint .... I’ve been using to TS 3 rattle can for the time being I got to be an expert at controlling the paint comes out.... looking forward to another video from you 😊
The paints that the tank crew would be given come in the form of a very thick paste, which the crew would have to thin, before applying it with a spray gun and/or brush. Although there would have been instructions provided regarding the ratio of paint to thinner, it is very likely that those instructions would not be followed very carefully by crews who were near the front lines & having to apply camo to their tank during a brief lull in the fighting. Also, using a brush would produce different results than a spray gun. So, I suspect that the darkness of the camo colours varied a lot from tank to tank. In some cases the greens & red-brown could be very dark, and in some cases the colours could be very light.
I really appreciate your honesty, very refreshing. Don't stop
My father was in this Division and was a gunner in this tank. He loved it and said it was the best tank on the eastern front.
I somewhat doubt that 🤔
🐂 💩
Love the more realistic/historical style you accomplished here. Well done! Saying that I don't mind a lot of the others going crazy with the rot and rust, but this is my favorite 100%

Absolutely love it! The G variant is my most favourite one of the 3. And i loved how you kept it "factory fresh"
Hardly factory fresh. Looks right on point though, for a normal fielded Panther g, at the time though.

I know time is hard , bench time is precious .
The weathering is subtle , perhaps the hair spray chipping method , and modulation in the tri camo scheme.
Your work is spot on!!!!
Right on !

Thanks for sharing
that's the thing about learning the more you learn the less you know and then you must learn more... nice build , thank you.
Really nice finish. I like how the filter and washes enriched the camo.
Excellent work. Love the camo and weathering. very well done. I didn't know that Wilder made pigments. I agree with your chipping method as it does give some depth to the scratches on the vehicle.
Your Panther came out cool,Adam. Great paint and weathering job, mate. Fantastic.
Love your work bench. It has all the right stuff, now I what my work bench will look like,Adam.

Hi Adam, I enjoyed your video and liked the way your were explaining your thought process, gj :)
Very nice work, i enjoyed the video.
Well done Adam.
Good job on the H G Panther G, A D. Great weathering.
this is a great insight as to why mine are to dark. I am putting on to much paint, much to fast! Thanks again!

splendid job, I love it
great vid Adam some nice tips there too subbed
very nice looking model, good job :)
my only one note is the mount for spare tracks- i seen some injection pin marks.
Thanks man.You are absolutely correct about the pin marks. The original plan was to cover them up with spare tracks and I decided to just finish the video without them. I'll have to add something there to cover it up.
+Adam Mann just add spare track links or tarp and model will be great.
that's a great tutorial. love that camo too!

Awesome my friend :)
Hi, the wire cutter handles were made from Bakelite (wood chips compressed in resin, a primative plastic) not the "Presstof" laminated compressed fiber/paper/resin. Germans wore hobnailed boots so the paint would be scratched down to bare metal in many points the crew used to mount the Panzer. But the Auf G likely didn't get as many boarding/dismounting cycles before it was issued then destroyed, as you mentioned.
I mean you know I have an original wire cutter here and made a video on it right?

I agree about tamiya german green being way to dark, by the time you filter over the top or do a grime wash it almost looks black.
The paints that the tank crew would be given come in the form of a very thick paste, which the crew would have to thin, before applying it with a spray gun and/or brush. Although there would have been instructions provided regarding the ratio of paint to thinner, it is very likely that those instructions would not be followed very carefully by crews who were near the front lines & having to apply camo to their tank during a brief lull in the fighting.
