Char B1 Bis Full Build Start to Finish

In his video I Build and fully paint a Char B1 Bis main French battle tank. The tank is from Tamiya models and is in the 1/35th scale.
This build includes an aftermarket set of photo etch, scratch built parts, custom decals, and applied texture. For painting I used techniques including oil dot filters, weather streaks, chipping, rust, bare metal, rust staining, fuel spills, oil and grease streaks and stains, mud and dust.

Thank you for watching

Great job. I would like to ask how to prepare paint for painting scratches? What kind of dilution? did you add retarder? (how much?)

[@LocktOnArt]

I did nothing special to the paint. I just added a little thinner and made sure I didn't have much on the brush, so it didn't look thick on the model. This meant that I had to dip my brush in the paint more frequently, but it is worth it.

i love this tank, in fact it was to the germans in 1940 what the tiger tank was to the allies in 1944! it was heavy, had transmission problems... but was also heavely armoured for it's day and could destroy entire armor groups on it's own, which they did! one Char B1 destroyed 25 german vehicles, including 10 tanks. the fact the germans still won in 1940 should have taught them building bigger and bigger tanks wasn't the solution...

It's too fast to see what's going on. Some of us like to see how to do stuff.
