Building Dragon Models' Marder III H with full interior start to finish.

This is a culmination of my 5 part series covering the Marder III Build. The video includes the entire process. Starting with the build I added a vast amount of scratch build parts to the model. I also added moving parts where I could like the hatches, seats, periscopes and main gun. I put a huge amount of detail on the interior of the model, right down to the bolts!. Aftermarket parts included metal tracks from friulmodel, and a German antenna set from Orange Hobby. The camouflage scheme came from one I saw in War Thunder. I used a large array of paints and weathering products for this project across a range of mediums, all of which are named in the video. This video contains ASMR.

Just when you think you have seen it all along comes this piece of art that is hypnotizing to watch be made. Awesome build and great video. Thanks.

[@LocktOnArt]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed watching!

[@lawrencereid9375]

An INCREDIBLE BUILD! Your weathering is SUPERB! You have no peer when it comes to using PE. Your patience and precision (not to mention your eyesight) are remarkable in handling so much of it in such small bits.

[@LocktOnArt]

Thank you so much, I try to get the details as accurate as possible which means lots of PE and scratch building, cheers!

[@AFV85]

Fantastic idea for the radio plugs! Definitely one for me that thanks!

What can I say, a master at work. Beautifully done.

[@LocktOnArt]

Wow, thank you!

[@kevinjohnson8220]

Lovely. One point to consider. For Praga engines, the cylinder head is black but the rest of the block is red. Hull red is fine but fire engine red or even scarlet is preferable.

[@michaeltiedt6376]

This is unbelievable. Im fascinated!

Insane level of detail, amazing work. Love that track jig, is it home made?

[@LocktOnArt]

Thank you! Yes home made jig, it saves a lot of time and frustration

[@kenjohnston8173]

Well, the tamiya version is like making a tinker toy compared to what u did, wow

[@LocktOnArt]

Sorry! I like to add detail 😁

[@gruppenfuhrer45]

Phenomenal work. How do u know how and where to put all these extras? Just amazing

[@LocktOnArt]

Thank you. I did a lot of research on the vehicle and tried to replicate it the best I could.

[@Chaos-lb9hi]

Your Marder video came up as a suggestion on my KZbin feed. Watched the series of your Marder build. The execution… my jaw dropped. You and only several others have executed a build that has so much detail. And you have used the most PE details. Thank you for showing what oil paints you used and where. Excellent I have a question when you added wires to the engine (beautifully shown) what thickness would you suggest using? I already hit subscribe to your channel

[@LocktOnArt]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the feedback, and I'm glad you enjoyed watching my work. The wire I use is a couple of different gauges of copper wire. 0.3 mm and 0.4 mm. I usually get it from common electrical cables that have been stripped down. You can also get it in spools at electrical shops. I hope that helps, and thanks again for your support!.

[@Chaos-lb9hi]

@@LocktOnArtit definitely does thank you. I saw another pro modeler’s video and he suggested always keep left over PE trees (at a loss for a better description) because of the thickness and can be used on the fly to make improvised ad ons. I have a Kubelwagen kit and wanted to upgrade the engine compartment with wires. And I wanted to wire the lights on German kits for the electrical lights (convoy light) Thank you for the reply.

[@frankmike9931]

Beautiful. A project like this takes about many hours from start to finish. Building and painting…??

[@LocktOnArt]

Thank you, yes this project took nearly 2 years!

Impresionante

[@christopherdickey1436]

A truly inspirational (and somewhat humbling) build. What do you use to secure PE? Looks like you might have a little working time with it.

[@LocktOnArt]

Thank you very much. I use mig slow dry cyanoacrylate currently, cheers

great video and awesome work i have a question? I would like to know what cable sizes you used.

[@LocktOnArt]

Thank you for your compliments. Mainly I stick to 0.3mm, 0.4mm, and 0.5mm copper wire.

What are using to hold the track links for inserting the pins? Is it home made or can you purchase it? Great video and skill set. Impressive!

[@LocktOnArt]

Thanks very much for your praise!. Yes it is a home made jig, I couldn't make them without it. Are you interested in one?.

Hello ,how many hours it takes to build this model ?

[@LocktOnArt]

Many hours spread over a couple of years

[@gunslinger135]

Where do you get your metal supplies

[@LocktOnArt]

I buy brass sheets and rods from a local model shop, the rest is collected from left over PE and wires from electrical equipment.

[@socialistpastries.stooby]

Is it still called interior if it’s an open top tank?

[@LocktOnArt]

Sure is!

German vehicles dont use straps

[@LocktOnArt]

I believe you meant didn't, not "dont" . Please do some research before you put up a half-arsed comment, and yes, they did use straps in many cases.

Great. I love the creativity 👍
