Isn't it funny how the Churchill has sort of become fashionable again having spent years being much maligned! I grew up in the 60s and 70s and practically all British tanks of WW2 were dismissed or mocked... These days the Churchill seems to be almost admired, in retrospect! :) Excellent series of videos, thank you.
Started model making 6 months ago...wish I had found this site sooner,it really is helpful for a beginner like me Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge
Between your channel and Andy's Hobby Headquarters I feel my own scale modelling efforts have come on in leaps and bounds! Especially happy I've built/have on the rack to build some of these same "intro" kits. Looking forward to the weekly content drops!
I’ve been modelling for about a year now and I’m currently working on my 5th model, although I’ve been having major complications when it comes to figures, so this video helps out quite a lot
Thank you for this build. You have helped me more then you could know. You are a very good instructor. I love how you teach the painting and your technique and the color's you use. You even explain why. I now have some of the knowledge to get what I may need. I wish I could do mote to thank you for your videos. Thank you again ..my name is george.
Really enjoyed this pal. Literally about to build my first two models (well, I mean since the 1980s) for my YT channel Kit Build comp and the Churchill is first up before I ruin a 1970s Lee Grant from 254th Indian Tank Brigade. I have the fear, but slightly less having watched the first of your playlist.....
All the textures of grass, weeds, gravel, rocks are available from model railroad shops. You can find materials to make ponds, cliffs, almost any kind of diorama as well as tools of all kinds including most of the ones you haven't thought of yet. You can also get free advice on how to use them. All the best from Canada.
Great built ! Have that kit in the "stash " , maybe is time to move it forwards in the list of items to build. Hope you and your loved ones are well ! Take care, Tony
Outstanding, lovely build sir!I am currently doing a (Thunder) Scammell Transporter, but need a tank! It was either a General Grant, Sherman, or a Churchill. The Tamiya Churchill at £26 was fave, but thought I would look for a build . Your film has decided me!
Citadel are the best for figures! I didn't believe it when was told so tried out curiosity and waw they really are! The brush on perfect and don't pickup the paint again after going back over the same bit or leave the plastic showing and a fine layer of paint with a couple of thicker brush strokes you get from Tamyia or vallejo!
You're painting wrong then. If you look at any figure modeller such as warhammer, even though citadel is popular, most miniature painters use a variety of paints from different brands. Vallejo is by no means worse than citadel, and on select paints is better
@@themilitarumpainter I've never used them I just think the war hammer guys big it up tbh! But I like my vallejo and AK paints I just got 2 sets of flesh set one vallejo and one life colour set the selection in the vallejo is like double to the life colour and the tones are not great from life colour! Theee a different breed of paint if you know what i mean lol just don't like faces like vallejo and AK sets!
I'm just getting back into model making after a break of at least 40 years and I have stumbled across this any other great videos. One thing is puzzling me is that all the tools and equipment are affixed to the tanks and painted afterwards, why is it that noone appears to paint these items separately and them glue them to the tank, which I assume would be easier
Just watched your starter vids for tanks wife got me the airfix tiger at Xmas as I said I hankering to see inside a tank built a motorised German tank for my first boy about 40odd years ago since I spent my time with air bourn forces I had more to do with c47s than tanks , never saw any tanks in that patchwork quilt coulor that is shown in the weathering of models ,very informative vids enjoyed watching be nice if the music was military British or German I turn the sound right down with stuff you play ,will carry on watching tho .
Excellent video mate, just wondering if you, or anyone else here, could provide a list of the tamiya paints used throughout this build (including the previous episodes). Thanks a lot 👍
Hi Jason, you mention that you planning to build a modern tank. Can I suggest that do one of the Hobby Boss 84523 1/35 IDF Merkava Mk IV With Trophy Brand New. I've got it on my Ebay list of to do. It looks a really excellent kit.
Good videos and nice work overall, Jason! But has anyone ever told you that you obviously used the wrong product with your static grass applicator? That wasn't static grass, but either Woodland Scenics Fine Turf or some other kind of flock. The static of the applicator has no impact on that kind of product whatsoever! It is not even been meant to be used in an electric device of any kind - only just with a sieve. That is why you didn't get any "static" results in your diorama. I don't want to rain on your parade, I simply wanted to let the other viewers know 😀
Could you please tell me what brush you are using for the figure painting. I like the extra long bristles which should allow them to carry a good amount of paint. So manufacurer and size if you don't mind. Cheers.
Very nice build and diorama. I really enjoyed the whole series and learned some new things along the way. One question; whats wrong with the Vallejo primer?
It would have been a bit better if the wagon had some straw in it to lay the bottles on. Left to lay against metal or hard wood they would have broken on the rough road.
If you'd used the glass as the bottom layer of your diorama, the clay couldn't warp the base and it won't crack while drying. To clarify, you don't need to disassemble the picture frame. Just mask off the frame and start building your diorama on top of the glass.
What is the point of fixing the styrofoam and then covering it all with Das clay? Why not cover the whole base with Das clay? Makes no sense to me, but I am just beginning, so probably thick as shit!!!
The styrofoam builds up the contours of the groundwork, the clay just gives it a realistic appearance. It would be very difficult to build the level up with just clay, it would also take an age to dry

That was fantastic. Ive bought my Dad a kit of this on a whim for his 82nd birthday, he's going to love it. Thank you
Love this series. I build mostly aircraft and have my first armored vehicle after completing my current build. Learning a lot. Thanks!!
Weathering them can be such a rabbit hole deep
Haven't done models in 30 years, watching these I'm really tempted to try and get back into it.
do it

Same here Huw, both guys great for beginners and experienced modellers
Thanks for the detail information and the running monologue!! Most helpful to a beginner like me. Well done. Thanks for sharing. Ax

Kudos and thanks. Inspiring. Planning my first build. Brilliant.
Lovely diorama, it really tells a story. Greetings from Portugal.

Great work - enjoyed the subject and etail provided
Very informative, thank you. I'll give it a try.
Watched all 3 videos, got some good tips. Looking forward to building it with my son over xmas. Thanks
Great built ! Have that kit in the "stash " , maybe is time to move it forwards in the list of items to build. Hope you and your loved ones are well ! Take care, Tony
Very helpful. I watched all three 👏🏿
*Simple and effective, very nice!*

Useful information on figure painting. I’ve always wondered how to do them. Thanks.

Very nice paint job - gonna buy this very Tamiya model after Easter - thank you for doing those interesting videos:)
Great video especially from a fellow Brit diorama looks great 👍

I'm not him, obviously, but that looks like a #1 liner to me. Maybe a 0 or 2, depending on the manufacturer.
I'd love to know too! :)
Nice build! New subscriber from Germany :-) Greetings
How do you hold your figgers on the bottle cap for painting?
Thank you very much for your videos on modeling
nice
You need to prime your base to avoid warping.
Very nice build and diorama. I really enjoyed the whole series and learned some new things along the way. One question; whats wrong with the Vallejo primer?
It would have been a bit better if the wagon had some straw in it to lay the bottles on. Left to lay against metal or hard wood they would have broken on the rough road.
Looks amazing! I'm currently working on a M3 Stuart, but struggling to find the motivation to finish it
That’s funny because I’m also in the middle of the same model and my motivation is all but gone. It’s been in the box for 2 weeks now....
@@roadweary5252 couple months for me 😂
Really good videos I shall be staying turned in do you sell any merchandise ie stickers etc of your channel thanks again keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍
Watch out Uncle Night Shift 🤔
nice!
If you'd used the glass as the bottom layer of your diorama, the clay couldn't warp the base and it won't crack while drying. To clarify, you don't need to disassemble the picture frame. Just mask off the frame and start building your diorama on top of the glass.
These days, it's more like 30-40 ultra thin coats, to get the pro-grade of lustre and depth of colour you want.
What colour did you use for the flesh ? Tamiya xf 15 ??
Yes and lightened it with white to change the shade
👍👍👍👍
The figures need eyes!
When i watch your video's i feel like i am cheating on QDC748a .
Milk comes in churns, not urns, lol.
What is the point of fixing the styrofoam and then covering it all with Das clay? Why not cover the whole base with Das clay? Makes no sense to me, but I am just beginning, so probably thick as shit!!!
