Model Chieftain Mk.5 - 1/35 Tamiya - Hull

[@danielallenbutler1782]

You make excellent videos. No annoying, unnecessary chatter, well-videographed, and a nice progression of the construction without time being wasted. Using the rubber glove for the mantlet cover is bloody brilliant.

[@vicparratt7523]

Another great build. It amazes me how little cement you use on your models. Love the new use for rubber gloves.

[@Big-Modeller]

I'm trying not to overuse it, it's quite efficient. Thanks for watching :)

[@jsidaho1957]

Thanks for this building series. I have this kit and now I want to have a go at it ! As others have said that mantlet cover is brilliant !

[@Big-Modeller]

Thanks :) I need to get back to this tank soon.

[@brianhurley6289]

I was going to use tissue for manlet cover, then seen this vid. Genius!

[@Big-Modeller]

Huge exaggeration, but thanks ;)

[@PieAndChips]

Great build. I pinched your idea of a gun mantlett gaitor, but I used a black glove, so that I didn't have to paint it, and I am fitting it before assembling the turret to ensure that it glues well and fits nicely

[@Big-Modeller]

Yeah, yellow is not the most fortunate colour.

[@laMoort]

nice trick with the rubber glove. hopefully it can withstand the painting and weathering - not melt.

[@Big-Modeller]

I think there won't be a problem, such a glove is designed to protect a hand from different types of chemicals. I rather worry about how the paint will stick to the rubber... it's elastic, will the paint peel?

troszkę częściej te filmiki jak można prosić :) jak zawsze film na wysokim poziomie, pozdrawiam

[@Big-Modeller]

Też bym chciał częściej puszczać filmy :) Robię co mogę. Pozdrawiam :)

[@ArmourEmpire]

home made mantlet is very cool

[@Big-Modeller]

Thanks :)

[@greggo34]

what type of puddy did you use to fill in the gaps in the lower hull? i have some "dap" and i hope that might work. I got my tank today. Merry xmas all.

[@Big-Modeller]

I don't remember but most probably i glued some spare plastic from the inside and used an acrylic putty on the outside.

[@opsimathics]

a nice change

[@25hanusia]

Dziękuję za film, szkoda że taki krótki.Wszystko kleisz Extra Thin Cementem, mocny jest? gumowej rękawiczki z czasem szlag nie trafi, czym pomalujesz teraz gumę? Nie lepiej było unieruchomić działo i zrobić to z jakiejś masy modelarskiej?

[@Big-Modeller]

Ale gradobicie pytań ;) To po kolei: - Extra Thin Cement trzyma bardzo mocno, porządnie rozpuszcza plastik i wiązanie jest mocne. - nie pomyślałem 4-wymiarowo o tej gumie, mam nadzieję, że nie sparcieje za szybko. Z farbami jeszcze poeksperymentuję, zobaczę co się najlepiej trzyma. - unieruchomić działo można zawsze, na razie zależało mi na pozostawieniu go w ruchu. Pozdrawiam :)

[@Krieger-productions6149]

Hi just a question , I made this kit recently and I have had trouble with the gun being loose did you notice that at all? , it’s not like full droop but if you raise it to a certain point it drops to a neutral position many thanksn

[@Big-Modeller]

This didn't happen in my model. Maybe it would be better to just glue the gun to the fixed position?

[@Krieger-productions6149]

Big Modeller I like it moving however I did fiddle with it quite a bit moving it up and down constantly could that have done it?

[@Big-Modeller]

Most probably. The plastic is... well quite plastic material.

[@Krieger-productions6149]

Big Modeller yeah friction ware is a bummer

[@andrzejgulik7475]

Czy mozesz zdradzic jakiej szpachlowki uzyles ? Z gory dziekuje. A tak przy okazji to bardzo podoba mi sie muzyka :)

[@Big-Modeller]

Szpachlówka to "Zmywalna Szpachla Akrylowa" firmy Wamod. Co do muzyki, to faktycznie musi być dobra, bo już kilka osób o niej pisało, że im się podoba :) Pozdrawiam

[@andrzejgulik7475]

Bardzo dziekuje . Bede sledzil nastepne odcinki .Trzymaj sie .

[@myfavoritessong]

Can you tell me how you attached the tracks bc I just got this kit and realized the tracks were vinyl so pls help me pls

[@Big-Modeller]

I just glued both sides together and put them on the wheels ;)

[@epicaxeguy3323]

Did you paint any of the parts before putting it together?

[@Big-Modeller]

No, I didn't. I usually paint parts of aircrafts before assembling it, but with tanks the technique is a little different.

[@epicaxeguy3323]

Big Modeller Thanks, and is this model attempt able with paintbrushes instead of airbrush?

[@Big-Modeller]

Every model is ;) And this particular one is quite easy for paint brushes, because you can choose one-colour pattern (all green). The result is the outcome of your precision, patience and carefulness :)

[@rngblitz8864]

is this kit dont have a gun mantlet?

[@Big-Modeller]

Nope.

[@johncastle2365]

Is it necessary to use cement on the gun barrel? btw great Vid man

[@Big-Modeller]

I'm not sure if I understand it properly... Do you mean attaching the gun to the turret? If yes, it's not necessary, I didn't glue it. The gun in this model moves up and down.

[@johncastle2365]

Oh ok thanks man! 😄😄😄

[@tommylakasi3022]

Good starter?

[@Big-Modeller]

Can you be more specific?

[@tommylakasi3022]

is this kit good for people who dont have any experience at building models and want to look for a good first kit( is it easy to build, paint)

[@Big-Modeller]

Absolutely! This kit is perfect for beginners. Everything fits well and there's not much sanding or puttying. If you don't want to make a camo, you can choose one of the "one-colour" patterns.

[@duncanbennett5624]

[@Big-Modeller]

[@Big-Modeller]

Why? What's wrong with this one?

[@shanechapman3567]

[@Big-Modeller]

It's washable acrylic putty made by the Wamod company.

[@kaysee88]

[@Big-Modeller]

[@markrayton6385]
