I find Andy's videos not just informative but also relaxing, like Bob Ross of scale models.
I am constantly amazed on all of these model-making videos how building the actual kit is seen as a chore and that the “real” fun doesn’t start until the weathering is applied. To someone like me (who does not have a single artistic bone in their body) building painting the kit is enough. No matter what theatre of war the vehicle served in, it must have been new and shiny at some time?
Love this kit in late 1943 paint job with late war accessories. Goes great with Dragon 250/8 Neu or AFV 1/35 Sdkfz 251/Stummel.
I love half-tracks and the Dragon Sdfz 252 has to be one of the coolest looking ones ever built.
Absolutely 👊👍
Andy your videos are awesome. Watching you paint the fine scratch marks... mind blown!
great build, always look forward to your new builds. keep up the great work Andy!
thanks for the new vid Andy, wish I could have made it to the con, I'm working on a t34/85 with full interior and about to start a takom king tiger with full interior loved watching your content keep up the good work!!!
Love watching your videos.
ANOTHER GREAT INFORMATIVE VIDEO, AND AN AMAZING BUILD. THANX FOR ALL THE INFO & POINTERS ON PAINTING & WEATHERING!
IT WOULD BE AWESOME TO SEE THOSE 2 VEHICLES TOGETHER IN A NICE WINTER DIORAMA!
Another outstanding build. Thank you!
The winter white wash effects are just great job Andy. Thanks.
Beautiful work Andy!
Hi Andy, first off; brilliant channel.Thanks to you I've just bought 2 new model kits after a 30 year break. The F-15 Strike Eagle and a Vietnam era Huey chopper. Can't wait to get stuck in again using the techniques I've learnt here. Keep up the great work.
NEVER SEEN OR HEARD OF THIS ONE BEFOR THANK YOU.
I met the man a couple days ago. Very nice guy and very nice store. Well done Andy!
Another great and especially informative episode.
You always do these models justice and never disappoint, andy. They couldn't get better than this. Best regards, from british Columbia, Canada
Now I feel good...you put putty in the exact spot I did :)
Very nice....I recommend this kit, I really enjoyed it and it looks very nice
Great video Andy! Really enjoyed it.
Those books have great pics in them. Also the whitewash on your model looks good. I might have to get this kit
Another Great build
What a nice kit , great paint job Andy . good build : )
Thank you.
Outstanding video and presentation.
Thank you for your outstanding customer service on every online order. I hope to some day visit your store. It will be a road trip from California.
Very nice work..great video
Another excellent build!
Thank you.
awesome build I received that kit Wednesday want to get started but need to buy a stug.
Best work... compliments
Looks great.
Very impressive model kit.
Thank you.
Andy, I'd love to see you build one of the M3 Stuart kits from Academy. It's a tiny tank, but I'm not seeing many builds on TH-cam. I've got one in my stash, but like to see a good build on one. Thanks. Love the channel.
another wonderful kit
Thank you.
Hey Andy, a tip, put some clear tape over the label of the paint bottle, where it says what paint it is. That way if you spill paint over over it, you can wipe it away without destroying the label. Or if the paint dries before you notice it, you can use some thinner and clear it up. It's come in handy a few times for me. :-)
Thanks for the great vids, Cheers!
Hey Andy, glad to see another video! Anyway, I'm making the pilgrimage from the Northwest down to your store! I should be seeing you this Friday! I sure can't wait. Thanks Andy!
That's great see you soon
Hi Andy . Really enjoy the show. Just wondering if you have tried Mr Paint paints? They are really good paints and give them a try I did and they give a modeler another tool to help one bring their models to life. Keep up the good work sir and really do enjoy the show's. Gary
Very good, I just got my paws on the kit. Thank you for sharing.
Michael Rains paws?
Willabe he's a furry
Louis TheEleventh oh God...
I absolutly love these kits, and i love seeing you giving them " life ", alas its a shame that i would never be able to do something like that lololol, because despite the fact that im ambidextrous, i have 2 left feet for hands when it comes to this sort of build.
I think its one of Your's best models :) Very nice camo and rest of painting. Grats !
Thank you.
love to see a Pzr III done with Afriakorp theme (w/ Afriakorp decals)
cool halftrack like the paint on the verhicle ;)

Another great build and review, the kit looks great and is defiantly on my shopping list. Shame all that nice interior and engine is hidden, always the way though!
Thank you.
please make a video about brush painting and tips :) great job by the way
Nice. Might treat myself for Xmas this year.
nice built
Excelente muito bom 👍
Can you do a build on the Trumpeter E25?
Very nice build of a beautiful model. I get a lot of modelling tips and model reviews having watched your videos for some time now. I thought I'd return the favor and re-post here a modelling tip I also posted on both Scale Modeling Madness and QDC's recent video builds. I should hit up Plasmo and Hamikar's too. Here's the tip as I posted it on QDC's latest video:
Modeling Tip!!! There are many of you out there that may already know this; but I came upon this myself just this week after watching a modeling video by Scale Modeling Madness in which he mentions he buys a cheap filler and cleans it up with a Q-tip soaked in some solvent.
Curious about this filler-solvent technique I tried out a few fillers and stumbled upon the combination of Testors Filler, the stuff that's been around for decades in the old style glue-tooth paste tube, and isopropyl alcohol (mine happens to be 91% alcohol). There are some tricks in using them together though.
1st: It has to be done in layers as wiping the Q-tip over the filler removes some from the separation joint you are trying to fill. I have to admit I only tried this right after I put the filler on and it was still pliable. I did not try it once the filler sets up. I did let the filler set up between building up the layers (and the subsequent wiping with moist Q-tips), which is the most time consuming part of this technique.
2nd: Be sure to really get filler into the joint, not just over it because once you clean it up with a few Q-tips moistened with alcohol any filler on the surface gets spread out.
3rd: Speaking about the filler getting spread out, IT DOES! You have to use several Q-tips and even a paper towel, again moistened with alcohol, to remove the filler from the surrounding surface. Don't go nuts removing it from recessed panel lines and the like;; since this is the old Testors filler it does not dissolve into the plastic and can easily be removed from within surrounding panel lines, once it hardens, with a toothpick or the back edge of your hobby knife.
Please bear in mind, you will have to spend a few minutes cleaning up the filler from the surrounding surface as it spreads out and leaves a lite coating behind.
The advantages of this method. NO SANDING!!! NO LOST DETAILS!!! SMOOTH JOINTS (once several coats applied then wiped clean)!!! FAST!!! EASY!!!
Hope you find this useful.
Hi Andy. Really enjoy the channel. Got me back into modeling. Have a few questions.
1. When you drybrush are you using the same thinned paint that is used for airbrushing, or a different bottle?
2. Saw the video on thinning Tamiya paint. Do you thin Vallejo paints as well, and if so how do you recommend to?
3. Any chance of mini-gaming models being painted?
I'm currently on its cousin, the Sd. Kfz. 253, which is an older Dragon kit (Cyber-Hobby 9128). This still has the old lower hull in three parts and has no photo-etched parts included. Otherwise they seem quite similar.
One suggestion I'd like to make: wouldn't it be better to glue the guide wheel only when you dry-fit the tracks? The arm can be rotated a little: that way you can fine-tune the track tension, just like for the real vehicle.
Sometimes I wish they made models bigger than 1/35. The Tanks,Trucks, armored vehicles.
bonjour les u.s a..excellent travail
Great work as always Andy. Quick question, I want to do Wittmann's Tiger 1 (1331) at the battle of Kursk and I am wondering if this kit could be used to show reloading of ammo? Also, is there after market decals for this kit?
Hi Andy thanks for the video. Can you tell us where the tarps came from?
hi Andy, great video and kit, would be great if you did the new T95 as well!! Was just wondering what airbrush do you use now?
Отлично!!
You prefer to use ts 80 in a can then flat clear in a air brush? Which is better? Or is it the same?
13:15 you say right by do you mean the opposite of left, or just correct?
Hi,great build Andy,but it looks like the side vision ports are upside down(?)
hi Andy great video, i subscribed :), and I was wondering if you would try doing a model without the airbrush because I'm sure you'd have some great tips for noobies like me that just have the brush and the paint, thank you in advance
Any tips for a beginner? I have always been interested in building models just have never had the time. Love the videos btw!
Still want some tips mate? I can help a bit
Thats a nice kit. Nice build. Any issues with those great Dragon instructions? Really like the weathering and snow camo on it. Certainly makes it pop!
Thank you. just a few errors in numbers but actually pretty good overall.
hy Andy, thank's for all your tutorials and videoes, do you ship stuff out off USA?
Hello,Andy.
Are the rollers on the sprockets still centered on the pad,rather than slightly ahead of the flat pad area on the sprocket wheel? I know this has been a detail point missed by Dragon on the 250 and 251 kits.
very cool Andy !!! another fantastic video. How did you make the tarps?
For a kid who wants to start modeling , what model do you think would suit me best and a easy kit to build?
Hi Andy nice build, I did one a few weeks ago but nothing near the quality of your. One question mine had a driver but no way could I get him into his seat, his arms stopped him going in so in the end I left him out. Did you have the same problem? Keep up the good work, cheers Phil in UK.
I have a question , you use nato black as first coat , is flat black also an alternative ?
How do you paint the rubber? Do you just paint all the wheels in black and then filling up the rest with grey?
What kind of hair spray would you recommend for your white wash? Just cheap dollar store product?
i really enjoy your videos. great work! i only find one thing annoying, I have to constantly adjust the volume. Your voice sometimes is quiet and then the classical music just super loud. but other than that thank you for sharing your great work. greeting from germany!
I too am horrible with figures Andy, but I have become much better as of late. I work in just 1/35 and to be honest, I feel that the super detailed faces are cool, but the main attraction on my armor kits, is the armor. I'll paint the figures just basic, 2 to 4 colors on the uniform if needed, and 2 colors for the face, darker flesh color and a lighter color for highlights. I then paint any hair with 1 dark and one light of similar colors. I have seen so many modelers go crazy with figures, that is great for them, but in all honestly is art not meant to be seen a little further away then just up in your face?
Did you airbrush paint the parts on the inside, like the leather in the seats and whatnot, or did you do that by hand?
Nice build up. How long do allow the hair spray to dry before putting on the white coat of paint? Thanks!
Thank you. about 15 20 minutes, it dries fats

hey Andy, did you notice on the interior that the fender mounting piece leaves a nasty rectangle gap on the interior side wall on both sides?
Great build, Andy and a great learning experience!!! A question, I noticed that the some of the equipment the Germans used had their steering wheels at an angle... they suppose to be that way?
yep, god knows why
yes many of those type vehicles did have that type steering wheel.
Andy if you had to give Mark fit strong marks from 1 to 10 what would you give it... Thanks mate
So far 10
Dear Andy I have decided to start modelling and I was wondering if you knew a kit that was cheap and easy for beginners?
The idea that they had these heavy Transporters for carrying ammunition is kind of interesting. A number lighter vehicles would have done the job too? Or do I miss something?
Hey Andy, I am currently building American ww2 planes. Should I get an airbrush and what type?
Do you ever do reviews on 1/6 scale WWII items...??
What kind of "super glue" do you use. the one with that very fine tip
That is Tamiya extra thin
Enrique Chavez he said super glue.
Hi, how are you??? I am a follower of yours and I see all your videos and you do a good job. But I wanted to ask you a question, they say that painting with the white color in the airbrush is bad, that is to say, it damages the airbrush a lot, it is the color that damages more than with other colors, is it true ???? greetings from Spain.
How does he manage to never get overspray!
How do you measure percentages of the mix?
Very nice. Where did the tarps come from.
Thank you. valuegear
can you please do the dragon 1/35 panzer 4 with panther turret?
I was wondering if you would do a Canadian Leopard C2 tank in the Afghanistan war.
How do you cut photo ech? and would any type of hairspray work?
Brendan Brlit Any type of hair spray will do it.
Wait what happened? Why was this reuploaded just wondering.
there was a problem with part of the video had to re render it and upload it
Andy's Hobby Headquarters ahh ok thanks!
weird, I should have sworn I saw this video hours ago, but when I decided to actually watch it. It was.gone. I began to think I was crazy. But here it is again. I guess you withdrew it earlier for some reason Andy?
There was a audio problem so I had to re render it and then upload again
Andy's Hobby Headquarters great work Andy. thanks for doing this for us. Allways inspirational.stuff.
Hey Andy, What happened to your store webpage? I was looking to buy some stuff and it says it's no longer valid.
Hay may try some other music like josh wodward or snow patrol they are nice and slow perfect to build a model:))
Andy is this kit still available i cant seem to find one ???
Are you going to be making the armoured train loading diorama
We see a lot of vehicles... when you make some aircraft Andy ?
yes very soon expect a airplane

Won't it defeat the purpose of dry brushing to high light when you are going to winter coat it?
some of it shows through
That hatch is for the driver nor any commander you are thinking about
yeah I miss spoke
Do you ship to Australia?
