How many of you who keep on commenting on how tracks on an operational vehicle do not rust, have seen them for real? I work in an establishment that service and upgrade all types of modern tanks, some of which are driven straight off the surrounding training ranges, cleaned and then driven all under their own power into the work shops. I see them almost every day......and ALL of them WITHOUT EXCEPTION have HEAVY RUST ON EVERY SINGLE PART OF THEIR TRACKS, except the inside parts which come into contact with the road wheels. Even the guide horns which run through the center of the wheels (depending on the type of tracked vehicle) have shiney face sides but are still rusty on the edges. This is the first video I have seen which is almost completely accurate for an operational vehicle. Bare steel rusts quickly and heavily and the theory that a track is kept clean from all the dirt and sand rubbing against it as it is being used, is a complete fallacy! The shiney raised outside areas are also accurate, depending on the type of ground the vehicle has been running on, however, most modern tanks have rubber pads on the outside preventing the metal from touching the ground, and the metal the pads are housed in are.....RUSTY!
Really? Why you don't see almost any rust on tracks of excavators, caterpillars etc. which are easy to meet in everyday life? Do they have "rostfrei" tracks? I'm not trying to prove you're false, just curious.
I can only tell you what I see, Hori. I work as security in a place called Bovington UK, famous for its tank museum and central to the majority of armour training in my country, the barracks are nearby and all the surrounding country side are the training grounds. I see many operational tanks every day/night either on manoeuvres or coming in for repairs/servicing/upgrades, both locally and from around the world. I would not benefit from spreading false information, I make models myself and am extremely lucky to see all this and would like others to benefit from what I see. Most of the historical vehicles I have made, I can see for real, in the museum! although it is closed at the moment, due to covid restrictions. ☹
Estoy armando un modelo de edición limitada T-34E y T-34/76 (fábrica 112), me gustó mucho y aplicaré esta técnica en las cadenas. Me gusta mucho la diversidad y la calidad de sus productos y soy un cliente fiel.
MOST EXCELLENT!!! Since many of 'us' modellers, have tanks with vinyl tracks, this Really Helps!!!👍👍👍👍👍 I would like to post a video, someday, of work showing this technique here....to show 'Others' that this method works! I have Mostly 'Tamiya' tanks.
First of all tracks in operational vehicle not rusted like this, if they are rusted, the polished metal areas are rusted too, second- graphite from pencil simulate polished tracks much better than pigment
Okay for those that don't know, operational track cannot look like this, so don't do it. This is fine for a tank sitting in a museum's courtyard exposed to wind, snow, rain and other elements. An operational track barely has any rust at all. Just think about it for a second....
Well... now that I've sprayed the first brown primer for a modern Paladin... I'm rethinking my next steps. I recommend watching videos of the real item...take snapshots, then zoom in.

I cant remember seeing a cat, or excavator, ever not have rust on its tracks....

I'm curious about those rubber pencil. I hope you will do a video on them. To see what they can do.
This is good for a abandoned tank, but for a operational it is not needed as they dont rust like this. Still really nice effect for abandoned tanks.
great video again, I am lookig forward to another one!:-)

Good point

Very quick and right to the point thank you
👍🏾👍🏾
Great video! I’d like to try the polished metal pigment.. might be handy for the steel inner wheels on a Panther!
Just use a mechanical pencil and/or graphite shaved off an artist graphite stick. It works a lot better than the pigment
And more!
@@Danfunnyman1234 standard pencil lead?
@@tonyromano6220 yeah just a pencil from your drawer. It has really nice graphite color
What brush did you use for applied the silver on the tracks ?
Hi Guys. Do you apply any clear coat at all during the process? For instance between the acrylic rust dry-brush effects and the enamel tracks wash?
Wow!
What about something more modern like an M1 tank?
Will it also work on metal tracks?
Meh. Not very convincing, only ok for tracks that are just sitting outside
Wrat is the reason for this stupid loud music at the beginning and the end of the video?
