Impressive work on the chipping. I have seen many (too many) videos on chipping by the method of removing paint with either the application of hairspray or chipping fluid, painting, then brushes to scratch of the final coat, but I have not seen anyone 'add' chips the way you have. It must take a lot of practice to make it look genuine using this method? If I may ask, do think it is better to paint the accessories such as shovels, tools, cables, all those items, etc separately before gluing them onto the main body or putting them all on at once and then paint the entire model and go back to paint the accessories with a brush after the final coat? But excellent work here. I have seen and learnt techniques I have not known of before.
thank you very much for your compliment and your questions. yes adding chippings are far more time consuming than using hair spray and chipping fluid, but these two methods are only good for large area paint chipping but not fine scratches and hit marks. It is rather hard to control the chipping pattern. So for normal tear and wear chipping I had to stick with adding chips and scratches using my own intuition. I had to observe a lot of other master's work as well as real life effect like driving pass a bulldozer or dump truck, and memorize how the scratch pattern and how the rust will form. your last question on painting the tools separately really depends on how the tools are placed. If they are not accessible after assembled then I will always have them painted in advance. But normally I prefer to glue them first and paint later, that way the clasps and the tank could be weathered more realistically instead of just placed on top, in other words, the dirt and shadow could be made under the tools and the clasps if painted at the same time. Hope that helps!
Hello and thanks for showing the video. The work is very good and it looks authentic, but the vehicles really haven't aged that well to develop that very well done aged look. A contradiction in terms..! This is what vehicles look like in the museum today, 75 years later. The vehicles in the war were completely repainted max. every 3 months, depending on the season.
hello and congratulations for these videos that I am waiting for like Santa Claus... just one question, what is the brand and color used to achieve chipping??? this may have been mentioned somewhere, but I haven't found the answer... in the meantime, thank you again and congratulations for sharing all this wonderful work with us cordially
Great job on the Das Werk kit of the Panzer III Ausf J. BTW What make is the figure? also when you add the Mr Colour Iron with the cotton bud to the tools is it applied wet or dry? The metal finish on the tools looks really realistic and this is an aspect of my modelling that I would like to improve upon. Thanks.
Thanks for your compliment! The figure was bought from Aliexpress. The Iron paint was applied almost dry, should wipe out the paint and leave a very small trace on the swab and that will do. The metal finish was achieved by applying rust pigment on black paint and highlighting with iron or gun metal pigment depends on the sheen you want. Hope that helps!! 😀
Your technique and artistry are world class. Thank you for sharing!
The figure is amazing!
Another beautiful model! Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure, very glad you like it!😆
Awesome. Inspiration!

The headphone covers were orange up until sometime in 1942.
You have done an amazing job !
Thanks, I tried out a new way to weather the tank abc I think it turns out alright, but there is still room for improvement 😀

Sehr schön! Der Panzer 3 gefällt mir sehr gut. Ich habe auch ein Panzer 3 aber mit Flecktarnung.
OMG WOW, I have this tank and yet to build it. Now I’m not sure I want to after seeing yours. 😊
Great to be your inspiration! Enjoy you build, it was a lovely kit, you will surely like it!
I got it done, did it deutches Afrika Korps. Doesn’t have the details and chains that yours does. Jealous. Absolutely great work mate…..cheers
great work
am in admiration

Exceptional work! I have this kit... now I can't build it after seeing this 😛
Thanks! I thought that might help you to have some weathering ideas😄. Don’t worry just enjoy building it , it is a very nice kit!

Очень круто получилось , а я собрал и покрасил тигр в 16 масштабе.
What is track 00:00-01:00?
It was a track chosen from my movie making software, I think the it’s called ‘better get ready’
As good as the build was, the AI narrator was bad. Ugh. Couldn't listen to it.
Yes I know the Ai narrator was bad, as my voice sounds funny to listen to, so bear with me. Thank you.
Superb work.
Thank you! Took a while to make this time.
