Building Tamiya Mark 4 Tank. From Start to Finish.

[@KEM451]

Holy Cow! A 1/35 motorized Tamiya model, WITH A MOTOR. Beautiful job on her, especially the paint. {Note to toy soldiers: "Run Away!"}

You're welcome. Thanks for watching my humble video.

[@glennmiller3229]

The way u explain ur models to kids is great u keep it simple and u don't talk down to a novice modeler nice job again

[@bradlavassaur8265]

Great job! Looks great. The tank museum in the U.K. built a full-size operating replica of one of these WW1 tanks using an excavator frame and running gear. Thank you for sharing. 😊

[@qdc748a]

Thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching.

[@tonyperez4791]

Dang David , here you go again , another great build. Every time I see one of your videos , I have to sit and work on one of my models. You make it look too easy, but with carpal tunnel sometimes is hard. Now you can chase kitty with your Mark IV . Until next time , take care, Tony

[@qdc748a]

Thanks Tony. I don't think my cat, Buster, would appreciate being chased around by the tank :)

[@tonyperez4791]

Hope no green men were hurt in the filming of your video ! Wasn't one of the the Geico Gekko ? @@qdc748a

Very good QDC !!! Nice to see you again! Love the paint of the tracks. And the final soundtrack.

[@qdc748a]

I'm glad you like it :)

[@kfs4362]

The way this thing moves looks like the real tank. Lovely job making it look like it came straight out of the muddy trenches!

[@qdc748a]

Thanks! This kit does look real when it moves. :)

Exquisite build of a unique and fascinating kit...kudos, sir!

Somewhy it's so funny to watch this tiny beast rolling around and climbing obstacles. Really good work on the model.

[@qdc748a]

It's a fun model to build. You should try it. :)

this popped up on my feed, ive little interest in making models but this made me enjoy watching the whole thing

[@qdc748a]

You are welcome 😀

[@joeshmoe9978]

19:40 "Oh, THE HUMANITY!" 😂 Great video QDC. Your tank turned out to be very realistic. Keep up the good work.

[@qdc748a]

Thanks :)

[@Marauder623]

I have to admit, your rust streaks are very convincing, another thing to experiment with is superficial and dark steel chipping, it really gives your model a pop and can help add to the realism.

[@qdc748a]

Thanks. My next video should be done by this week 😁

[@ThatMofoDamon]

Very nice build,thanks for sharing the trick with the baking soda, i was always wondering how to add texture to my exhausts.

[@qdc748a]

You're welcome. Baking soda is a very old trick. There are newer versions to do it. Many of the newer versions require you to buy special products exclusively to the company that sells it.

[@ThatMofoDamon]

@@qdc748a you can't beat baking soda when it comes to money, i prefer to spent my money on kits or colours so i keep an eye out for tricks like that.

[@wafflyfox7550]

Haha the end was funny 😄 exquisite job I must say the weathering and tracks was just 👌 keep it up qdc!

[@qdc748a]

Thanks. And thank you for watching my video! 😀

Bob Ross is a name I haven't heard in years! Cute.

I agree QDC IS the bob Ross of scale modelling community .QDC has a positive, encouraging, upbeat & friendly personalty that comes across in his videos much like the late great Bob, had on the Joy Of Painting. Although he is yet to say "today where are going to build a happy little Tank"

[@fedup08]

Bit late if you haven't been to the uk yet bovington is worth it. Even better on the tankfest day.

[@andrewluchsinger]

Another great build. I had a model of the same tank when I was in High school. That's back in the 80's I'm not sure what company it was. I wish I could have kept it. I had moved to so many different places. It was wrecked in one of the moves. Now I have an excuse to build another one.

[@qdc748a]

Build another one. If you enjoy building a model kit, why not do it? This hobby is all about you. Take care.

I'm building the Takom mk 4 male just now hard to find the right colour of brown it says to use a clay brown but don't have that so some colour mixing is away to happen now pity I can't do olvie drab I have loads of that haha! Great build! I have the whippet and the tadpole to do next!

Hi Colin!!! Great job once more! Thank you very much for your tips and clear video. See you soon in Paris. Friendship from Provins, France.

[@nightjarflying]

Hi qdc. Nice model! I suggest you record the moving tank at 4x normal fps [say 120 fps], then when it is played back at 30 fps it will move as if full size especially when falling over the obstacles. It also needs weight up front because the centre of gravity is too far back due to the battery etc.

[@qdc748a]

okay

[@BasicModelling]

Followed with interest on facebook... :) Great to see the build in moving pictures, so to speak.. :) Glad I didn't have to assemble that track, I never have the patience for that type of modelling, however good the end result will be,, but both you and Hamilkar B (and anyone else who attempts to build this style of tracks) have my full admiration.. :) Good to see you got it fully working as well... Another beautiful model from the QDC master modeller.. :)

[@qdc748a]

Thanks for your kind words 😀

[@svpdgcar]

I love your work QDC! You did a great job. I'd love to see a tutorial from you on your mud effect, it looks great! If I can offer one piece of constructive criticism though... I would imagine the mud at the rear would climb up the track and wrap back up before dropping off the track. So more mud near the read. Just my two cents.
