Building Tamiya M8 Howitzer Motor Carriage. From Start to Finish.

[@williamking2249]

Awesome build. I like the way you painted it and finished this one👍

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Very nice paint job.

[@derbauerausmosten1914]

yes or i watch your videos Andy i like you really

[@joshuasanders4515]

Andy! Did not know you watch his videos, love your videos

[@Marauder623]

dude, i'd like to say thank you for getting me back into the world of scale models again. thank you for inspiring me.

[@qdc748a]

You're very welcome :)

[@scottbeckmann966]

Really enjoyed this build. I am a fan of your weathering techniques. It is fun to watch you get better and better. Big fan of older kits too.

[@charlie418791]

Great job,Q.Tamiya makes quality kits.Love the paint job. Here's to all our veterans on this Memorial Day weekend.

[@qdc748a]

Thanks :) Happy Memorial Day! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6K5e2iLpdSaecU

[@Dunhillscalemodelling]

These old Tamiya kits are often better than newer kits of other companies👍. Your new way of painting is great! I think I have to copy it😉

[@qdc748a]

Thanks. My new technique is more time consuming but well worth it.

[@bamaDBC]

What can I say. Looks gorgeous . Tamiya have good and realistic models. Colin as always are modest, telling about that he 's not model expert . Don't say that nevermore ! :) Grat job ! :)

[@ganoostermoppy4325]

Again, model painting over and above normal levels, brilliant.

[@qdc748a]

Thanks for your kind words :)

[@makooma]

Can this guy go ahead an get a TV show already? Really man I look forward to your videos.

[@qdc748a]

Thanks :) I'm flattered by your words.

[@bobahnert9213]

Another oldie but goodie! And as always your skill and talent has brought it to life--great job Colin!

[@qdc748a]

Thanks

[@basilj3949]

Colin, I have to say, you did such a great job. That technique really gave the vehicle a beautiful look. Amazing job!!

[@qdc748a]

Thanks. This newer technique I'm using brings out the details. I like it a lot.

[@CommissarBooks]

That paint job is beautiful, for an old kit its metal casting texture is very nice too!

[@qdc748a]

I agree. This classic kit was very impressive for its day!

[@robertvoss6145]

great painting technique and a good build as usual . great detail from this old tamiya kit , well done

[@qdc748a]

Thanks

[@MrBMBuilder]

Nice build up of a old little kit. All Tamiya kits are nice to build even the old ones

[@qdc748a]

Yes, I agree. Thanks

[@antoniomanuelrodriguezcaro1604]

Fantastic video. You always teach us to build the model kits easier than others. Thanks.

[@qdc748a]

You are very welcome:)

[@dbrucep51]

Wow! That new technique turned out super awesome. Great build as always. You'll never know what you can achieve unless you aren't afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. Tamiya has always made great kits. Build on!

[@qdc748a]

Yes, I agree. The most enjoyable parts of life are the ones you got out of your comfort zone. Thanks.

[@dinkleburgerz]

Nice to return to this channel, even though I stopped model making due to how expensive it is, the time involved, and what not. But cant wait once I have the money, and time! :)

[@qdc748a]

You don't have to spend a lot of money. This kit is reasonably priced.

[@qcameronp]

Great work. The new painting technique looks great.

[@qdc748a]

Thanks

[@Footplate2012]

Great job again qdc. I am old enough to remember that Tamiya set the standard back in the 70's, but they were too expensive for me then. Nice work :)

[@Steve20127]

I'm amazed; you never blink!

[@AvArIeNmArKu4]

Hi from sunny Bulgaria !! Colin you did a great job with this little beauty i want to say that you had great journey so far and great advancement in the hobby i remember the first model that i see you complete it was the revell / monogram B-29 even if you say that you are not an expert there is always the 10k hour rule and you my friend are almost there keep working hard and having fun that's what the hobby is all about fun and creativity it's an art just like the painting !

[@qdc748a]

Thank you for your kind words. You are right, I have improved my skills over the years. But the most important thing I want to tell all my viewers, including yourself is to enjoy this hobby too. Take care and have a great day!

[@jjab99]

Excellent job on that M8, great build and a fantastic paint job too. Well done mate.

[@qdc748a]

Thank you :)

[@JoeMakesModelKits]

That looks very nice Collin! The new techniques you are using makes the kit look realistic! One tip I have is to save the pin wash after the painting process. I couldn't exactly see the effect after the olive drab coat. The preshading however was very well executed and I could not have done better! Great job again Collin, keep up the amazing work!

[@qdc748a]

The pin washing is very subtle. If I didn't add to it, it will look a little odd.

[@JoeMakesModelKits]

qdc748a Huh well it's nice to see that you are developing on your techniques! :) Happy building Collin!

[@nicopanther]

That's pretty little tank, I like painting You did. Geat job qdc.

[@Emtbtoday]

Tile grout just looks like it is Tile grout! I'd love to see you do some weathering video's!

[@ManCupboardModels]

Great new style of painting. Top job! 👍

[@GTScaleModelling]

You've really nailed that new technique! It looks really good on this model. Great job!

[@qdc748a]

Thanks buddy!

[@sorichar]

I really like the results of your new preshading technique. I am going to have to give it a try! Great looking vehicle!

[@qdc748a]

When I tried this technique, I found it well worth taking the extra time. You might appreciate it too.

[@cyber3408]

Iam just Speachless ..... This is so beautiful the new technique you use is so good I watched this with my mouth wide open very very very nice job qdc!

[@qdc748a]

Thanks :)

[@claytonmcclain182]

really great build, loved that kit when I was a kid, takes me back thanks.

[@qdc748a]

You're welcome.

[@ArmourEmpire]

great job on the ore shading. made for a very nice effect Colin

[@qdc748a]

Thanks

[@reconranger1370]

Hey Q as always nice work. I agree with you and the painting process you used, it really brought out the panel lines of the tank. I'm going to try that technique on the Sherman I'm getting ready to build. Thanks for sharing!

[@naenaeman5810]

The interior looks great really nice weathering:)

[@qdc748a]

Thanks.

[@FABIUSMAXIMUZ]

Excellent work !!! I am impressed how simple you are working and then the fantastic result you get. You're my inspiration my friend. Greetings from Spain.

[@qdc748a]

You are very welcome. I like this newer technique I am using.

[@mikeuk883]

Good job, I remember this kit on the shelf when it first came out, couldn't afford it back then, thanks for sharing your love of modeling :-)

[@Lee78072]

This Kit seem to be very good for it's age. Very nice Detail.

[@qdc748a]

Thanks

[@doncar8263]

Nice work as always! The subtle details really make this model look great.

[@taylorr6081]

awesome model man! can't wait to see what you build next!

[@qdc748a]

Thanks. My next kit will be Tamiya IS3 Tank.

[@BP-li9tv]

Nice work QDC! This gives me motivation to finish building my Howitzer Motor Carriage. Cheers, BP

[@b.stuurder3562]

An entertaining video again. The reversed pre shading is working out great. It gives a realistic effect. Wonder who would ever give a dislike to your video? Perhaps you could try to step up a little again and fill ejector pin holes and small openings and crevices that shouldn't be there? That would add a new item to your nice video's again and enhance the realism of your models. There are many products to do that but with Revell putty, Vallejo putty and Deluxe materials Roket Hot cyanoacrylate glue combined with the Roket powder of the same manufacturer you should be able to fill about any size crevice or hole without much extra work in most cases. Keep challenging yourself!

[@qdc748a]

Thanks.

[@fishnchips4629]

What a great kit! I'm really about to consider this kit

[@qdc748a]

Cool. I think you might enjoy this.

[@TheYellowboy1]

excellent QDC always like watching you work I can follow your pace of build much better than some others...I've rediscovered my love of modelling post stroke and watch your builds alot..for guidance and inspiration

[@deezet9518]

Looking this video again, this looks great still! I find there’s less time to build these days, it seems life has gotten busier. What’s your experience on that Colin? I love going back and review your videos again.

[@qdc748a]

I'm glad you actually watched it again! 😃 Ask me that question on Facebook. I will gladly answer that question for you there 👍

[@wakemanedwards3450]

Great job on this one as well!

[@keithscott447]

Great job on her QDC. I have to try the buff and white mixture. Having some trouble with clear flat coating my German halftrack. LOL.

[@qdc748a]

Keep practicing like I do, you will get better at it. :)

[@keithscott447]

Thanks man. I finally used Testor's clear flat in the blue bottle. Works great.

[@Kupferstecher2007]

keep your awesome work up! a joy to watch. i wish i had time for model building. very very nice your models, thumbs up!

[@shaddyRT]

You've made serious progress QD! Reversed preshading and chipping are nice! So as usual well done man! Carry on! :)

[@jasperb9233]

That's a very inressting technique QDC! The result is great, as always :-)

[@qdc748a]

Thanks

[@vodkaguy5077]

that tank looks Amazing!! good job! cheers from Sweden

[@BigZapfer]

Hey Q, your painting skills have really improved! that looks great!

[@blackcobra689]

QDC, it would be great if you would build a "Battle of Bastogne" diorama. I remember your "D-Day" diorama, and it was so wonderfully done. -Cheers!

[@jmar829]

Bummer about the decal silvering, but you made an impressive model. Keep up the good work!

[@qdc748a]

The decal is not of the highest quality.

[@Luca-rf3dz]

QDC, if you want to prevent the silvering of decals as seen at 14:14 you need to apply a gloss clear coat, then add the decal and then put a matte clear coat on that.

[@qdc748a]

Thanks for the advice. I think the issue here is more of the actual decal itself. These are thick decals and not the high end stuff. As best as I understand it, classic kits from Tamiya are not made in Japan anymore but in another country.

[@Ettoredipugnar]

Beautiful job !

[@devynhardick4630]

another great build qdc! remember that kv2 kit that you did?... well I got it and I just finished it! I loved building it!! good luck on next one!

[@qdc748a]

Yes, I remember that build :) It's cool to know that you built a kit I built :) Thanks.

[@ja37d-34]

Nice build, looks great, well done! Been thinking about getting this thing.. :)

[@qdc748a]

Thanks! You should get it and enjoy building it!

Great job!!i really like your videos and your airbrushing skills are exceptional.i have thought about buying this model for my self.keep on doing a great job!!

[@drew7376]

Hi, I would love to see where you display all these kits I have been watching you build over the years!

[@qdc748a]

Maybe

[@captbaldo]

Out of curiosity, what do you do with all of these models after you're done with them? Do you have a display room to showcase them? That would make a great vid, a showcase of all the models you've done over the years. As always I really enjoy your videos, keep up the great work.

[@b.stuurder3562]

Oh, and you could try pinwashing with brown oil paint instead of black, after you painted the main color. Just a suggestion.

[@Subzero2151]

Great build as always qdc, I was wondering if you or anyone watching this video could give me some advice on applying Tamiya decals on their vehicles, I usually just fill a small bowl with tepid water and dip the decals in there for a short while, but sometimes when I apply them on to the vehicle they set straight away and I am unable to adjust them correctly which can be annoying as the rest of the build went great, was just hoping on some advice, on a better way maybe ? thanks for any help

[@qdc748a]

See this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3-8lZdpdtGYr5o

[@kirovskiecrab1365]

I love the way the paint looks on yours and id really recommend a kit I got today which is Zvezda's T-35 and so far it looks great.

[@qdc748a]

Cool. I hope you enjoyed your T-35 :) Thanks.

[@danielhillman4822]

I've always been a fan of this tank. Quick, with a big punch. The model looks great. Btw, a B-24 liberator flew over my brother's graduation ceremony yesterday. Insane, right?

[@qdc748a]

That's cool about the B-24!

[@terrymcdade7985]

Good looking build and kit review.

[@qdc748a]

Thanks. The kit was straight forward to build and my new painting technique really bring out the details.

[@airborne2767]

great build . build a paladin howitzer one day! tough kit and it's huge

great build I hope my 1/700 IJN Yahagi turns out good

[@qdc748a]

I'm sure it will. Take you time and most of all, enjoy it.

[@AirbrusherStudio]

your painting skill is improved. i suggest you have a look at modulation painting. its very nice. as always. very nice model

[@qdc748a]

Thanks. I will.

[@jefi._damier]

This model look realistic.nice

[@berndmuller6444]

hi, very well done. what are you using for a wash for example on a plane?

[@johnburdis5352]

That is a really nice paint job on the M8,qdc784a

[@АлександрЧекрыжов-т9ж]

Great model! Really like it👍🏼

[@qdc748a]

Thanks. It was fun.

[@DatOneAsianKid]

Later once it is released, you should do a start to finish on the new M10 Wolverine Tamiya made

[@qdc748a]

Maybe

[@tommylakasi3022]

Do you think this would be a good starter?

[@jeffleimer6717]

I really like that paint job, great weathering as usual also....question have you done any zimmerit and if so how? I have seen it done with wood puddy, bondo, hot screw driver, and photo etch.

[@HalidonDioramas]

Nice job, I am also liking the results you are getting with the new painting process, I will be giving that a try in future, it gives good depth of colour 👍

[@qdc748a]

Thanks. I found that this kind of painting is tedious but well worth doing. I plan to paint my next model again with the same technique.

[@obnox1968]

great build.

[@qdc748a]

Thanks

[@mantismodels1207]

Wow qdc nice build as usual. I was wondering why You dont weather or wash the entire model? Decals look too clean. Maybe this tank hasn't seen any combat?

[@billmoore4230]

Nice job!!

[@Rikki_Tikki_Tavvi]

Another great video man!

[@qdc748a]

Thanks

[@sherhhan1]

Nice M8,i like it!!!!

[@qdc748a]

Thank you :)

[@BespokeBandit]

Why did you do most of the weathering before painting the main colour? Is it better to do this? Amazing build by the way

[@qdc748a]

It's just a preference. The way I see it, there is no true right or wrong in painting model kits. As long as you enjoy it, it's all that counts!

[@BespokeBandit]

+qdc748a good on you, keep it up!

[@maxhadrian8680]

Hey QDC, could you please make a tutorial how to paint fine detail on model figure, like the transition between flesh and sleeves/collar. I tried but the result still hasn't satisfying. Also, why do you never told us what paint, ratio, brush size that you use for hand painting figures?

[@qdc748a]

Maybe. I have to be in the mood first. Right now I'm in the tank mood.

[@maxhadrian8680]

Tank mood is a good mood :)

[@bigmicksmodelsuk8374]

great work m8 mick

[@qdc748a]

Thanks Mick :)

[@acescalemodeling]

awesome the M8 in my opinion is a little unusual

[@qdc748a]

I agree. The M8 was more of an experimental vehicle that didn't see wide spread service.

[@tommylakasi3022]

How would I brush paint tanks? I'm just starting and I don't have airbrush, how would I get into the corners?

[@joshuasanders4515]

I'd recommend a wide brush, maybe natural hair, but in that case you have to clean it very well because otherwise they will get ruined fast

[@tommylakasi3022]

Joshua sanders would you recommend spray painting the main body or brush painting?

[@andrewselig4275]

Are you using oil based paints or acrylic? Will pinwashing with mineral spirits and artist oil paints ruin the acrylic paint? Thank you very much keep up the good work.

[@DinoMark74]

Nice kit....I will buy one also.

[@qdc748a]

Cool

[@atompilzfresser2994]

Looks good as always. I like the detailing Tamiya gave the model. You also did a great job painting it. I really like this new technique. (I think I told you last time? :D)

[@qdc748a]

Thank you very much! :) The kit is a good kit and thanks again for my new painting technique :)

[@johnnybull100]

what percentage of paint you use for the buff effects?? and thank you in advance love the videos keep it up!

[@gaustadtpanzer3606]

Great work! I have a question for you. How do you paint your ammo shells? By hand or by airbrush?

[@qdc748a]

By hand

[@gaustadtpanzer3606]

Nice!
