What’s this? 3 uploads in less than a month?! Yessss
And maybe 4. I have two projects on my table at this moment. :-O
@@idaemonplasmo yes!!!
@@idaemonplasmo Please its so cool
How?! Do you have kids?
@@idaemonplasmo keep modeling mate you are great modeller :) i love your work
That model has more random stuff on it then the desk i build my models on.
That's how those tanks used to be. Tons of gear they'd run on top. In some cases, they even had duffel bags with hard fibers to prevent ricochet and other things from "zapping" them in combat, tho that's more WW2 than Vietnam era.
Couldn’t agree more
same
Even the music used in this was spot on.
if plasmo ever makes a 40k imperial or chaos knight i'll probalby break my fingers from clicking and liking so fast
0Donee funnily enough watching this had me thinking exactly the same thing.
He used to, look for his older videos.
here's hoping...
anything besides a bretonnian trebuchet would be most unchivilrous
Peter Bondy i would do the same, or if he posted anything related to 40k!. I almost got a stroke at first when he showed a space marine rhino haha
"The Vietnam War" series is probably the best documentary on war produced. It comes across as unbiased, raw and very engaging.
That's the first thing I saw on TV that had me almost to tears. Those poor guys.
It's the only series i have seen that has major input from ex Viet Cong and nva, usually such things are only from the US side .
@cread 61o All sides murdered in Vietnam, the Americans committed many atrocities too, To make a good documentary you need to hear from all sides involved in the conflict-good or bad to see the big picture .
@cread 61o Lol
@@gavinblackburn3105 There was another one on the Vietnam war I remember watching several years ago that had interviews with various people that served on the Vietnamese side as well. I can't remember the name just now, but I'll try remember and dig it up for you.
Dude... we're ALL looking forward to the Jungle Diorama...
I’m so happy your doing smaller kits, a lot of people just don’t have the room for bigger ones or the money, but it goes to show how much details you can pull into these, can’t wait for the jungle scene
he always build 1 72 vehicles
dude i cant even begin to explain how grateful i am for you making these videos. though i don’t build these models, i know a lot about the history behind them. anyways your videos have really helped me through some dark times and just listening to your voice talk about all the details really helps me calm down and destress. you probably wont see this, but i just want you to know how much i appreciate your videos. thanks! :)
Plasmo is one of the most gifted modelers on the planet. This is one of the few time she's gotten some details wrong. The straps on those packs were not brown, but light olive green like the rest of the pack. The clips and snaps were made from black plastic or steel painted black. The sleeping mat was also a light olive green, often lighter than the packs Ammo crates were almost always a light blonde color,. They were made from fir, pine or spruce, which is a very light colored wood.
Some of what I'm writing is probably covered by others here: But here goes. The rucksacks used on this model weren't standard Vietnam issue, unless you were LRRP or SF who were issued the large rucksack. Most grunts humped smaller backpacks or buttpacks on their LBE. The sleeping mat rolls shown on the rucks weren't issued until the 80's. The louvered side panel was an Iraq War visual ID device to allow soldiers to ID friendlies and not used in Vietnam. The rucks on the side of the vehicle wouldn't just be stuck to the vehicle, but attached to the triangular brackets on the edges of the deck, and those brackets were not solid as shown on the model but made of bars of metal in a tripod arrangement. In a jungle situation, these rucks would not be slung over the side of the vehicle as they could be torn off going through rough vegetation. Pictures of rucks on the side of M113s were usually of those in a desert or open environment. In Germany, we would never hang gear off the sides of our vehicles. In general, anything heavy on the deck should be tied down and secured. The long ammo crate (probably for 105mm main tank ammo) on the right of the commander's cupola could be a salvage crate that is repurposed for miscellaneous onboard storage. If so, it should be tied down to the deck in some way. The amount and positioning of all the on deck stuff is problematic as equipment on the deck should not be in any spot that would restrict the opening of the cargo hatch (which opens to the rear of the vehicle to allow the side MGs to be manned) and driver's hatch, and the 360 degree traverse of the M2 in the cupola. The fuel cans, especially, should be tied down somewhere else on the vehicle. The colors of the various crates on the vehicle aren't an issue as they could have been repainted by the crew. The inboard lights on each pair on the front of the hull should be painted a gloss black rather than silver as these were the IR lamps.
“It probably looks like rust, but no it’s Vietnam”
I had those US soldiers as a kid and they are propably flying around somewhere at my parents house, I loved them
Peter Zwegert me to - and the M113 😁
The model had a Combat Identification Panel on it's right side. These were not introduced until after the Gulf war.
Amazing detail 😮
Опа , здарсте
Арт моделс?!!
Шалом, кста, узнал от твоём канале из рекомендаций под видосами PLASMO.
*DEAR DAVID! I have never done anything except watch your art and admire it's unequaled excellence and creativity. However I just got back from a simply unequaled UNBOXING of what is still 40 years later the best 1/48 th scale Avro Lancaster bomber.* It has AMAZING raised surfaces, detailed rivets, plastic textures as well as some awesome photo edged upgrades as shown in the video. I have never recommend anything to you before but as the box opener said, he so wanted to make the model after opening but has neither the space or time too (as well as lacking your MAGIC). No one other than you could make this shine. This model came out in '75, I was 14; a clueless beginner! *Tamiya : Avro Lancaster B Mk.I/III : 1/48 Scale Model: In Box Review*
I just wanted to say that. This model you built is the closest I have ever seen. I was the drive on a 113 for 1 1/2 years. I my very honed that you built this. I wish I could build and paint like you. I would have done one for myself. I was with the 1st calvary 1/7. Thank you for the build. I know it was a long time ago you did this one. I just hope you get this comment.
Oh man, literally finished watching the docuseries yesterday. What a treat to see this model! Fantastic work!
Thanks a lot for being out there! It really helps a lot seeing your projects while hearing your voice describing the process.
OUTSTANDING effort in such a small scale! You made those soft plastic troops work for you as well. Two notes. 1. No CIP panel on the right side of the hull for a Vietnam service M113 ACAV. 2. The track shrouds covering the top portion of the road wheels were removed for Vietnam service APCs. Too much mud and debris caught in there would lead to a thrown track. I'm looking forward to seeing your diorama.
"Hello, fellow modelers". Yes. Yes, I am a "fellow modeler". An amateur modeler. Very, very amateur. Especially in comparison to PLASMO. But a fellow modeler nonetheless.
So many great tips and tricks throughout every video. I've learned so much and implemented so many ideas. Thanks!!
pretty sweet M113 build a few things I might add though: I know you were doing the backpack straps brown either to represent leather or brown straps and as for brown straps a lighter brown would have been ok but most were actually various shades of army green (depending on how long in the field and uv rays they got)...the brown boxes are a nope also, they pretty much are always green(not for camo but to protect them from wood rot) same color for ammo boxes and gas canisters...yeah you lose all the color variation you've got going lol i do get that...Just for the era of conflict that army green to green/brown in various shades were the norm. The red box while cool would probably been a no go...still like I said cool build and i'm only saying this from all the stories and pics from my dad who served 2 tours both in vietnam and korea...
2:43 the boxes on the second m113 are brown
@@user-gz3qd3jn4r True they are but they are also a different kind of box (prob MRE or some other secondary supply, not ammo)if you look close the top is different...no biggie though there are bound to be exceptions as it was wartime and shipments were fast and furious
shut up rob
When you build or display scale models the main goal in start of project is the decision: 1) you will build the model based on real photos/situations, or 2) you will build it for yourself - to be satisfied. - next step is: "Is OK to display it?"
I understand the opinion that It is not such as good way to say - "Hey, I am doing it acc the photos and books" and then color it as you like..
@@tomaskajkavac6438 True..:) I guess some didn't get that i was not criticizing his build at all.I was just offering knowledge passed to me by my dad who was actually there in the conflict. Actually I do like his build, The colors add a bit of interest and draw you to look for what else he might have added to the scene....As I heard 1 you tube modeler say a while back..."Even a bad model is still a learning experience for the next one" And this model build definitely was not a bad model :)
This dude is the best 1/72nd scale modeler I've seen since Steve Zaloga back in the 70's/80's. OUTSTANDING as usual.
Incredible as usual. I’m still amazed that you build the whole kit to start without any painting. I’ve always just thought (well it’s how I was taught back in the’70’s) you have to have a lot of the parts painted before assembly. But clearly things have come a long way since then and I’m just finding it hard to get with the current methods. Clearly your results are breathtaking.
All this reminds me how primitive kit building was back then. The tubes of plastic glue we had to deal with (before liquid glue) were just horrendous. Big blobs of stringy glue, damaged parts as areas of too much glue would melt the plastic parts, either too much or too little glue. Ah, memories!
"Hello fellow modelers !" * has a tear but still smiles * I’m not à modeler, I’m to bad for these, but you are awesome at doing these. You love to put the smallest details even tho you know that not a lot off people will see it.
You always leave me humbled with the amount of details that you add. 👍
Great looking model as always. But, I do not think that US soldiers in Vietnam hang their equipment on the sides of their vehicles. When driving trough the undergrowd in the jungle it would easely get ripped off en get lost. That is why they put it on the front or on top of the vehicle.
Also the IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) panel on the side (that louvre type square) wasn't used in Vietnam. Other than that it looks great.
Thank you for making these videos, and for taking the time to notate colors, etc.. I'm learning a lot, which I'll use on future projects. Great tips!
Thank you very much for the time spent doing the subtitles. very pretty model as usual!
I was a machinist at FMC in San Jose, CA where these were manufactured. I made so many parts for these and the Bradleys and the MLRS rocket launchers it isn't even funny.
I did my training on this vehicle at CFB Petawawa , 1973 ,the summer of . Thank you .
Как обычно, всё на высшем уровне. Смотреть одно удовольствие
This was an unexpected treat to accompany lunch at my office desk! Thank you Sir.
Logs in...checks subscription list....sees a new video from Plasmo....jumps for joy!!!!!! Another great job David!!!!
Your attention to detail is impressive which gives an amazing result
My grandad served in the Vietnam war and commanded several of these. Like you and I, he loved to make models and made a model of this APC, still looks great
Love your builds, techniques and everything else. I'm Vietnamese and grew up with the war, I'd would love to see more of your Vietnam era builds 👍🏻🙏🏼
You're a master! Love to watch you performing your skills!
Brilliant job David! My dad used to work with M113’s in the Australian army
Had a bloke in Cav troop at School of Armour in Pucka in 87 and 88 last name of Harvey. Can't remember his first name but a top bloke. I was in Tank Troop.
Browndoggynt NT if it’s Wayne Harvey, then that’s my dad
Another great job from Plasmo and also quite informative. I love watching you work. Can't wait for the next episode.
I can already hear sergeant from Vietcong screaming again: "Hawkinsi dneska večer tě čekaj hajzlíky !"
Hykys the Useless is that polish?
@@Joe-hh6ds CZ
Stizzk no, Its Czech langauge. PLASMO is from Czech Republic too :).
@@Joe-hh6ds i don't speak spanish.
you means the trees screaming?? hhahahahaaa
Really cool idea and execution. This is why I wish trying to find decent new-ish models from these period was easier than it is.
Love this APC.
Thanks for the Blackdog shoutout, wonderful accessories.
Just magic. How plastic is getting alive. Thanks for your time plasmo
Just great, and perfect music to set the scene too
As usual, a FANTASTIC work! Can hardly wait to see this M-113 in the final diorama. Once again, CONGRATS!
I’m watching the documentary right now its really good, posited out a lot of things I didn’t know about the war
Another amazing build David, can't wait to see what the diorama is like when it's finished.
I did some training with vehicle . The M-113 was in the Canadian Forces . I was with the reserves , mid 1970s . Thank you . No Mg turret ,just a 50cal gun mount . Thanks .
Fantastic as usual. You have such an eye for details. Amazing
thanks for posting your techniques, love it.
I thought for a brief second at the beginning of the video with all the stuff piled on the APC that this model might not be up to your usual standard.......but then the magic happened! Congratulations on another amazing model, and thanks for the tutorial.
Amazing model, I absolutely love the imagery with the cards in the helmet and the roughly painted on peace symbol on the APC. Definitely looking forward to a diorama of 'nam.
Can I say one thing: you are a crazy modeler in artistic way. This is another level of modeling.
one of the first models I find interesting. Thanks for sharing it!
16:34 HYPE! HYPE! Can't wait to see it. :DD
me too ;)
its interesting to see that the parts breakdown is very simillar to the old tamiya m113 and ACAV 1:35 kits! looks like a totally smaller version of them! and I loved those kits!
Nicely done I did the Tamiya 35th one with the mortar in the back back in the eighties class
You are obviously an experienced modeler. I like your detail work and aging techniques. There were no ID panels on vehicles in VN. Too much brush/jungle so all equipment was piled on top with many GIs. Sometimes the vane in the front was angled out as to portage a stream but used to hold gear. You might also see some smoke grenades hanging on the Cav. armor around the side of the MG gunner. The straps on the packs was a slightly darker green than the pack material. Thanks for the video.
Masterful as always, David.
That card detail on the helmet... That... Everthing that he made!!!! Bravo bravo bravo x1000000
Greetings from Croatia!
Brilliant! This is a fantastic model with so much details..
Nice work, Plasmo, you always seem to amaze me. Also, The Vietnam War documentary was really well done and an emotional roller-coaster for me, I couldn't watch more than 1 episode per day.
Im happy as a kid on Christmas whenever you upload a new video!
An red ace on helmet? You are unique.
Love the series on Vietnam I’m actually half way through watching it a second time! Super excited for the diorama!
millzi88 yeah it’s amazing, I’m going to watch it again soon
Really enjoyed this. Tks Plasmo. ☘️
Tienes mucho dominio y seguridad en las técnicas. Congratulations!!!
What a treat this Monday evening 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Amazing detail for such a small piece. I'd love to have something like this in my collection. Awesome video thanks.
Nice work
You have inspired me to become a model maker to so thanks
2 uploads within a small period of time??? This is a blessing
I just got a m106 in the same scale and this video will help me in the painting.
From vietnam with luv
Nice video man
Fantastic as always!
Its been about 23 years since I left Europe, But I My unit in Hohenfells was still using the M113A2 at the time. For 4 years I had extensive experience on them. So Ima tell you a few things to make your model more realistic.
1. Tracks. The track shoes (each link of track) come sealed in a Black tar paint substance, but the tar wears off very quickly and the surface of the metal underneath is always completely rust colored. The tar just keeps them from rusting while in storage. And by storage I mean stacked on a pallet in the motor pool. Each shoe also has a rubber track pad on it. (that thing in the middle of the shoe.)
2. Road wheels. The road wheels have a rubber ring around them that is 1 1/2 inches (ish) thick. you can see the rim around each wheel.
3. Ruck sacks. I have never seen an M113 with ruck sacks on the side like that. Perhaps in the desert but not in the jungle. Think about it, jungle = wet nasty and mud everywhere. . Its nasty wet and muddy. Pass to close to a tree and all those rucks get ripped off. Drive into a splooge / mud pit and those rucks get soaked and flooded with nastiness. So those rucks would be stored inside the vehicle or strapped to the top.
4. Those cargo straps would be green. They aren't leather. They are a nylon/canvas material.
5. If the troop hatch on top is closed, there wont be any M60 machine guns in those mounts. The guns would block the door from opening for one thing, and without a gunner there to mind them, they would get smacked around and damaged to easy. Also, the troop hatch on top swings and locks to the rear. right where you have all that extra crap.
What you made here is an M113A2 ACAV, (for Armored cavalry). The acav isn't really a troop carrier. Its a regular M113A2 repurposed for reconnaissance. You have a driver, Track commander, and two sixty gunners in back, and perhaps a few dismounts, But not the full 11 man capacity. Which means plenty of extra room inside for stuff like ruck sacks, ammo cans, ETC. And uh, that crap everywhere also blocks the swivel of the TCs .50 cal and the 2 M60s.
So basically that model is ruined now.
Awesome job,I used to do plane models as a kid but never that detailed but I tried my best.
Great build, the figures are awesome and really make the model.
On the coffee milk/sweetener cups you use, if you take a round nose pair of pliers and grip the tab towards the center, you can then bend with your fingers, upwards to obtain a pouring spout. I do that with all my cups, excellent for precise dripping.
Nice little 113 David. I used to crawl all over these, but instead of a .50 cal. in the tub it was a 20mm Vulcan system & we had the floatation kit. You really did a beautiful job at weathering and adding all the extras. The dio should look pretty cool! Congrats!
You are a real artist.
Loving the work you are doing
Acrylic weathering is fucking amazing in this video. Really well done!
Nice job as always! I like the way these models come to life during the videos . :-)
Beautiful work as usual.
I often wathc your channel. I'm so impressed with what you've done.
I love watching your videos. Keep up the great work!
I don’t even make models, but I love these videos and the attention to detail! 👍🏼
Excellent detail, fantastic job mate.
Impressive, can't wait for the diorama. Thanks.
Wow, that looks fantastic!
How did you get such giant hands, they are at least 4 times normal size!
You did such a great job, awesome P-Man
Как всегда отличная работа! 👍
Looking forward to the next video every time. And amazed every times. Can't wait for the jungle diorama !!
Nice music this time! Also awesome work on the details like backpacks and helmets.
Brilliant as always 👍👍👍
Simply epic, like all of your other videos
When I Googled m113, your video was one of the first things that showed up on Google.
Could just be the algorithm, but cool either way.
Best modeler I have ever seen
came out gorgeous ! refreshing new music aswell :)
Nice to see some acrylic weathering!
