- Today I’ll be showing you how I brush painted this U.S. M4A3 Sherman in 1/48 Scale by Hobby Boss. If your curious about the price it was only $30 U.S. Dollars bought from my local hobby shop. Thank you for watching and please subscribe so that I may show you more future content👍 :D (Paints): Vallejo- Olive Drab, Neutral grey, Iraqui Sand, Khaki, U.S. field drab, Green grey, Green Brown . Tamiya- Rubber black, Buff, Flat flesh, Flat white, Desert yellow, Flat Brown, Flat black- / discord
Thank you so much for uploading this video! As a beginner that plans on using acrylic paint and hand brushing (almost) exclusively, it's really nice to see someone who can fill that niche. I heard that oil paints are much more effective for washes, so seeing your handsoap technique was really creative and much more convinent for me personally. Definitely checking out more of your content!
Definitely man. I am also a beginner and that handsoap technique is great for beginner with not a lot of tools for weathering. Amazing indeed.
I wish modeling paint wasn’t so expensive
Yup me too. :(
Yes, indeed :)
@@nofwild6325yup , really theres no reason modelling paint should be so expensive, they do use more pigment than say poster paints or artists paints but really , its not that much more.
You can save yourself "some" cost by buying a can of car spray in the colour you want to have as the main colour of most of your tanks , i.e. an olive drab for american vehicles and a dark sand or greyish yellow for the german dunkllegelb. Remember once you add some weathering or if you start to do things like modulating colours (adding very small dabs of oil colours and blending over the surfaces to achieve a more realistic blend of tones over your surfaces) your base colour will be changed a great deal anyway.
So start by covering the model with a good spray from a can, you should get multiple models from a single can and this will save you from having to use your precious modelling paints of 25ml.
This way you will save quite a bit of paint and as long as you dont go overboard with a spray can (do fine layers ,dont try to fully coat it in one spray!) You can achieve good results for a lot less.
(Another tip if you use enamel paints from a bottle like ammo paints or mig paints DONT use the pot as your dipping pot, i garentee youll knock one over one day and lose all of the paint over your table!! 😂 use a pipet or old syringe and pour a little onto a palette or i use old milk bottle caps and that way you wont risk spillages and loss of valuable paint!) Same if you start to use wearhering powders, take smal amounts out of the pot onto a milk bottle cap and close the pot for safety. Knocking over pigments is a nightmare worth avoiding.
I like the comment you made - "Of course, it is your model and it is up to you whether or not you want it realistic or more colour vibrant." I personally like this statement as it applies to me - I prefer to keep my models unweathered and clean like they have just come off the factory floor, it's like you say - much brighter. I feel too many modelling channels on youtube are narrow minded and look at it as every model has to be as historically accurate as possible.
Clearest painting guide on TH-cam, you have my thanks
I cannot thank you enough for this. My painting was really letting me down, but now I can paint competently. 👌🏻
Very helpful video (as I don’t have an airbrush) and have just started tank modelling. Thank you for creating and sharing
I want to thank you for this video. I have used your technics and low and behold my tanks are starting to look like tanks. Good job.
I’m happy for you, that I have somehow helped you in building and painting your models. Thank you. :D
One of the best tutorials i saw, very clear and great techniques. Also i really like that you use simple things (no airbrush,etc) and it looks that great
You did an excellent job on this video. After 30 years, I’m getting back into scale model building. And I watched a few videos on the same subject, but your video truly is detailed, explained clearly and understandably. And it’s not rushed. Thank you so much for putting this out there. I definitely am going to look for more videos from you, I subscribed and “liked”.
Thank you, I’m happy you liked it. I’m a bit baffled by all the kind words but it’s much appreciated. Great to hear your getting back into such an amazing hobby. Take care and best of luck. :-)
Damn man, this was the only video on the whole internet that ive found helpful, thank you so much you earned a sub!!!
Thanks for the tutorial also warthunders sound track is amazing
Thank you. Great to hear it helped you. :-)
Thank you!! Great simple explanation, without having to use 'expensive tools'!
Fantastic techniques! Thank you for sharing all this 😀
You do a great job of explaining things. I am going to be making a model for my first diorama. This helped me a lot with how to pre shade without an airbrush. Also, I never thought of taking my decals off of the paper like that good idea.
Absolutely stunning job again. I like your weathering techniques. I have a 1/35 Sherman in my stash I shall be trying these techniques on a larger scale. Keep up the great work.
Thank you! I loved every second of this video. Your advice to paint what I like first helped me make up my mind in a B-25 build I'm doing now. Thanks again!
nice to see someone brushing. most videos now are all airbrush!
Effective and easy to follow techniques, thank you.
Thank you for your tips ,never new about adding soap so well pleased with that tip, and looking forwards to seeing more off your work. Thanks again 👍👍
A good video about your art of brush painting this Sherman and in the end it achieved in a great result.
Wish you a nice weekend. Greetings, Joachim
Thank you very much I put a lot of time and effort into this model👍
The time and effort were well spent. 👍
Brilliant! The chipping on the model gives a realistic visual. Appreciate your in-depth, detailed narrating. Turned out really amazing.
First of all, I really need to thank you for this tutorial, it led to my best model. Also, you told us to use hand soap and buff and water to make dust, i found out if you leave it overnight, you will get a solidified yet brushable mud, and it works really well, even better than the dry steppe i have from ammo. Thank you very much and now i can competently make my models without the fear of ruining it with bad weathering and painting!!!
Just finished watching this vlog. It's extremely useful to learn your ideas of washing the model. Thanks a lot.
that acrylic wash idea is genius. it will also make the model smell nice hehehe! Subbed!
😂 Your right it will make the model smell very clean. Thanks man👍
Thank you very much for very informative video! It helped me to get back into scale model brush painting after 30 years 😀.
Absolutely amazing, first video I found that has a technique for weathering with acrylic!
Thank you very much, I’m happy you enjoyed it.😁👍
@@Modkits131 Do you have any techniques for mud etc with similar tools? Eg. the powder etc
Yes I do, mixing Tamiya acrylic paints with hard pastels or mixing real earth+model scenery glue.
@@Modkits131 Hey just to tell you, ive been doing a bit of it myself, and I reckon you can get a better result with Tamiya Paint Retarder instead of soap. Just water, tamiya paint and retarder and you shouldn't have any problems at all. If you wanted to use that technique for a video, go ahead, you have my permission.
I would agree as well with the paint retarder. But the point of using soap is for a cheaper alternative to some modelers who don’t own retardant or can’t purchase it, whatever the circumstances may be. Thank you though, I appreciate it. :)
Thank you! This video is very good for beginners AND for bit anvanced builders
Thank you! Thank you so much! I was looking into getting vallejo paints for brush painting and couldnt find any real evidence that they did any good for non air brushes. My man you're a beast, new devoted subscriber o7
Thanks man, I appreciate it. Glad you found the video helpful. :-)
War thunder menu music gave me ptsd
The snail is watching you
Great tutorial. I've been painting my polymer clay sculptures for a while and I always had issues with bright colors like yellow, so I'm glad I found something similar-ish to see how to properly apply layers for the color.
Well I’m glad you found the video somewhat helpful. :-)
I think this is great work with just brushes. Thanks for the techniques.
Greetings from South Africa. Great Channel. I subscribed after 2 videos. I don't know about the Scooby-Doo part. You sound pretty cool to me and you seem to know what you are talking about.
Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate them very much.👍:D
great to have brush painting videos. many people just do this and the result you get are great!
Wow a lot of work but that’s why it’s a hobby not a toy .
Absolutely informative and inspiring as I see these results and marvel on how they are produced.
Off to the model shop for something simple first .
Be back referring to your video. 👍
Thank you. I’m humbled to hear that I was helpful to you in some way. I hope you have fun painting your model then. Either tank, plane or ship. Etc. :-)
This is a awesome guide for brush painting models! Thank you so much!
No thank you for watching I appreciate it. :)
@@Modkits131 wow you resopnded so fast! I subbed and put notifications on! You are so underrated!
Thanks, I get that a lot from people and I’m humbled to be called underrated. 😅
Awesome video. I will be using these tips in the future.
Beautiful. Leurend a lot which I can apply on this wet Sunday.
Kudos on a great presentation. Thanks for the process and the listing of the paints. I appreciate the organization, information and enjoyability of the video. Have subscribed and can’t wait to view your other presentations.
I’m happy to hear that you’ve enjoyed my video. Hearing that from you really helps with the feedback. Thank you.
Jan 7th 2021... first time seeing this...
I like doing 1/72 / 1/76 kits. And making small dioramas... I still use TESTORS ENAMELS... but I’m learning new techniques , you taught me something new
NICE JOB... Chris from Ohio
Thank you, that’s awesome your enjoying this hobby and that I somehow managed to teach you something new. I’m flattered man😁👍
Thank you for sharing brush painting skills, very useful
Great techniques. I have recently gotten back into military modeling and have been watching videos on how to paint and weather vehicles
Thanks so much for such an excellent tutorial presentation.
Magnificent work, I also used brushes to work on my models and this video has been very useful.
Beautifully done, I'm going to give it a go on my first build a Matilda, thank you.
what an awesome video! what a great way of painting and weathering all with brush and acrylic paints! all the other model channels are all about 'hairspray chipping' and airbrush everything! although i do have an airbrush, I'm not very good with it and it's not a very airbrush lol. so I'm looking at doing more brush on effects then anything! thanks for the video!
Thank you, no problem. I’m happy I could help you with brush painting your models. :-)
Amazing weathering. Great video. Super helpful for me. I am doing my first ever paint+weathering with a scale model on my P-40 Tomahawk African theatre from Academy. Have been thinking of putting baby powder on it for sandy detail! but now I find your vid with acrylics + soap, I will try it out ;)
Thank you. I’m flattered that my tank video will help you in weathering+painting your P-40 aircraft model, of course having great fun in brush painting it. Best of luck :D
Great video thanks and good job. Got some very good ideas for a dusty finish and weathering to a BTR-80 I will soon start. I'm not a huge fan of spray paint and as you and several other modelers have shown, brush painting can be just as effective.
Thank you it’s great to hear that my video helped. Good luck and have fun making that BTR-80 dusty. :-)
Great work! I absolutely love the weathering!!! 👍✌
Thank you for the video - interesting and informative !!!!
That's a really nice work there. The effect is amazing
Thank you for the kind comment👍
@@Modkits131 I like the weathering effect on tank ,but spray can is faster and better paint surface then hand brushing.
@@amuxpatch2798 Your right on what I think you meant was air brushing being faster than brush painting. But of course beginners aren’t always going to buy an airbrush or spray can when painting their first model. I hope this answers your question.👍
That was amazing I'm going to do that on my next build
Hello, thank you for your step by step quide tutorial, I have completed all the steps of the tutorial and I am proud of the result, of course, it's still far from your proficiency, but I really like the manual painting technique that you use, if possible, I would send you a few photos. Best regards AW
Thank you for the lovely comment, I’m happy that you enjoyed the video and that you liked the result of your model by watching me paint mine. If you want to send me a picture of your model. I’m on Instagram and Patreon. Under the same name of course. :D
thank you for this. There is lots of good advice for airbrushing on the net, but relatively little about hand brushing.
Thank you. I’m glad you found it helpful. :)
I will never brushpaint a model again after getting an airbrush. But your results are REALLY great.
This looks great. Really happy to find tutorials on brush painting. Can you give some info on how you did the rust patch on the top section behind the turret. Thanks.
i love the warthunder music in the background it reminds me after i get shot by a tiger in a sherman jumbo and just think why i play warthunder and thank you for the help on models
I’m happy I could help you with your models. :-) Also sorry for reminding you of bad memories from that game…
This was great! Thanks for sharing this tutorial as I learned a lot from it.
Great tips, I like to build gundams but haven’t painted any of em before, now I’m kinda interested in painting minis for war games. So this vid really came in handy.
It’s great to know the video helped you in someway. Best of luck on painting those war games minis. I personally haven’t dabbled in Gundam models yet, but definitely plan on getting some in the future.
Good tip, first please yourself before pleasing others. It's currently the other way around for me. Good tips and instructions and showing really good and giving clear instructions.
Excellent lesson. Thank you.
You put the Warthunder hangar music in the back ground haha. Nice paint job i will use this video as help for my 1/35 Sherman 🌚
Nooooo. Ok you got me. But thank you man I appreciate it.
Excelent video, with good tecnics. I´m a hand painted modeler too and enjoy very much your work. Keep going the good work. Greetings from Portugal. 😉👍
Really thanks, it help me with brush painting models. Every one always tolding me buy aero, with out aero y can't painting models
Great demo! Thank you.
Perfection! Amazing skilled painting techniques 🙌🏻
I love this video and can envision Brad Pitt sitting in the tank commander hatch. Stills from this movie are a great source of images for weathered tanks in the European threaten of WWII. THANKS and KUDOS.
Thank you so so much!!! I don't have many budget on my hobbys so this video really help me!!
Excellent model.👍
Wow this is amazing! I didn't know you could make things look this good with just brushes. It looks great. Only things I would add would be a bit more dark/black wash on some of the small indents and a little detail on the tools and extra stuff.
Thank you for the tutorial. Saving this for future reference. Really useful since I don't wanna invest in an airbrush just yet.
So awesome to hear that this was helpful to you. I personally wasn’t too satisfied with the end results and how over weathered the model looked. But in the end, mistakes were made and I learned from it.
Thank you. :-)
@@Modkits131 We live and we learn indeed. Glad I could make your day a little better.
I also listed you/your channel as someone/thing I'm grateful for in my gratitude journal entry today.
Nice painting and modeling
Excellent work
Omg paint tube instructions in Finnish!! SUOMI MAINITTU!!!!🇫🇮🇫🇮
Excellent video for tips and practical demonstration. Had some difficulty hearing a few of your comments because of the music. You don't need it because your great work speaks for itself. Thanks a lot.
Awesome finishes👍
Nothing like a good Sherman.
It is really beautiful warthunder music 😀😀👍
I recognized that war thunder theme song! o7 to the good old days!
Lol the good ol days.
Love the paint tutorial, also the war thunder music is cool lol
Thank you , I’m happy you enjoyed it. :-)
awesome video, i'm making a scratch build speeder, and at this point i'm braking my head on how to paint it, i only have acrylics, this video will help a lot, thx
No problem, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Hope it helps you on your build. :D
I wanna go paint my model...but you background music also has me wanting to go fly a couple of matches in War Thunder
Aaayy. Exactly what I’m doing right now lol.
Great job …Thanks for the info.
nicely done
Beautiful Job Wow 👍
Great tutorial!
Incredible work😎😎
I appreciate the criticism man, thanks👍😁
Fantastic video!
Would I be able to just use normal acrylic paints for this?
If you mean cheap craft paint and other artist acrylic paints, then yes. I wouldn’t see any problem with that. :)
Going to build my first model tank soon. I hope it goes well
I wish you the best of luck. :)
A very creative and original technique. How do you avoid removing the underlying acrylic with the acrylic weathering?
@@mikebalis9963 You can use a protective varnish of any matte/satin/gloss of your choice. But for this case in the video, I didn’t use a varnish to protect it.
@@Modkits131 do you think the soapy water you mixed in the acrylic wash made the difference?
With subtle applications and layering the soapy wash helps me have control over the surface. But I overdid the weathering in the end personally. It looked way better in the beginning.
But enamels and oils are better for full control weathering as you can remove the unwanted excess or to build up gradually.
Never even heard of soap and water plus paint. Thanx.
Yeah no problem, let me know if you have any questions and see my newer videos for the soap wash done more refined.
Great video very inspiring
Excellent guide. I've always loved model kits but I rarely build them because I always managed to mess up painting them and just get extremely discouraged.
What is the little stick you're painting the pieces on towards the end? Almost looks like a dowel with putty of some sort?
It’s understandable why it can be discouraging. I’ve managed to ruin the paint on some of my first models and they look absolutely terrible lol.
I’d encourage you to give it another go, even if the results end badly. There are far better tutorial videos that can help you with brush painting and learning useful modeling tips. It’s important to have fun within this hobby and not worry about screwing up the process. Best of luck to you and happy Thanksgiving, if you don’t celebrate it then I hope have a good rest of your week. Thank you.
The little stick at the end is an entrenching tool or spade/shovel. You’ll find the exact same thing from looking up images of the tool.
Hi, I just want to ask when should you painy parts on the sprues? Won't painting them there be more time consuming as you have to paint the areas that were connected in the first place again? I'm also having a hard time making thinned paint as I have a wet palette; I don't know how much water I should add or maybe I should switch back to regular palettes?
Study specific areas of the building instructions, you’ll see what’ll be exposed and difficult to paint. Or try dry fitting a part before you glue it to see if your brush/airbrush can reach it.
Yes pre-painting sprues will mostly be a waste of time and could end up making the build process more frustrating/tedious. But not all kits are built the same right…?
A good ratio to follow is 1 drops water/thinner to 7 drops paint. A wet pallet can come in handy for painting as well as saving extra paint for the next day.
I personally prefer using the regular pallets when it comes to larger surfaces to paint. But it doesn’t hurt to use both for when you need to.
Hopefully this helps you. :-)
amazing
Wait, you can do post shading with a brush 😮 , I never knew!!
In the process of finishing my first tank, a Sherman, same tank, but Tamiya 1:35th scale. Thanks!
Loved the war thunder theme
Wow ! Excellent content. Finding "brush painting techniques" on TH-cam is difficult because everyone seems to airbrush exclusively & only pull out brushes for weathering / tiny details. Brush stokes are SO annoying. This is very helpful. Can you cut the acrylics with lacquer thinner ? Would love if you did a "brush paintings with enamels ( Testors specifically) ! Subscribed ! Will check out more videos. Thanks for the information!
I have tested with Vallejo paints that you can mix a small amount of lacquer thinner with the acrylic paint. Yes I will eventually try out enamels/ oil paints in the future for sure. Also I recommend “Quick Kits” he shows himself in his videos brush painting with enamel paints. Thank you :)
@@Modkits131 I'll check it out for sure! I like the technique of not spraying a clear coat on after each step which is very time consuming. I have a few vallejo & "the army painter" paints on the way so hopefully the lacquer thinner works. All I know is it works well the tamiya acrylics but those colors can be limited. Testors enamels definitely need to be cut with thinner. Half enamel / half thinner (for best even flow / no brush strokes). Unfortunately most my paints are enamel but I'm looking to expand to the acrylics side because they seem great, just intimidating to use.
With time and practice acrylic paints will be no problem for you to use. I’m sure of it. :)
Hello there, it is very very noce video, especially for beginners like me,
I got one question, can you please tell me how can I ise and what is purpose of Tamiya clear x-22 paint? What is purpose of it, is it like vanishing?
Thank you.😊
Yes! Tamiya’s (X-22 Clear) is a lacquer based/acrylic varnish.
It is meant for sealing in models for a glossy finish or can be used for weathering to replicate fresh mud effects.
Modelers also spray a gloss varnish on their finished paint job before applying decals. Next they seal the decals with another layer to protect it. Finally using a soft sandpaper to remove the decal film and matting down the decal.
@@Modkits131 thank you mate,
So it is not mixed with other paints for deep appearence, i mean, if I mix x-22 with other paints will it give them deeper appearence? it is used just on surface for extra protective and varnishing layer.
Am I correct?
@@giorginakashidze8797 Yeah you can use it to enrich your colors and keep saturation. Or use it as a texture for terrain.
@@Modkits131 thanks bro
Thanks for inspiring me getting into this hobby. I just built my first model using this video as guideline. It turned out ok but nowhere close to yours. I'm using vallejos and i find they dry up faster than i'd like them too sometimes before i'm done and i have to mix up more paint for the last few bits. Do you face the same problem?
I typically don’t, as I use a relatively small amount of paint when painting the first layers.
I’d recommend buying/creating a wet palette or purchase a paint retarder to help slow down the drying time.
Question- Did you thin the primer at all? If so, what percent?
I applied the primer straight out of bottle without thinning. But in some cases you want at least 40% thinner to 60% paint. Or to at least slow down the drying time. :)
Thanks man, easy way to buy some cheap stuff
