Building theTamiya 1/35 M10 diorama " Firing Position " using the new kit 35350

[@genekloszewski5484]

Making some "Armour" dioramas myself.. good to see other folks involved in the hobby!....

[@StringerCourier]

Love these videos ... they make great work look so easy and are very inspiring. I was talking recently to a guy who owns a model shop that has been around since I was a kid, and in his opinion young people just aren't into modeling anymore. Mostly it's by old retired guys like me. If true, it's too bad, because I still like to get down to tabletop level with that one-eyed, squinty, perspective-shrinking look and think, "That looks so cool." Keep up the good work, Andy.

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Thank you, that is all true but I notice when people hit there late 20's many are looking for some kind of hobby and I have many 20's -40's people doing it

[@amateurbenchscalemodelling6221]

inspired me to build my first model in over 20 years and first ever diorama. please keep the vids coming.

[@edhorst7212]

Many years ago, time travel back 60 years and you would find myself along with neighbor playing Army with our soldiers, vehicles in our back yards. Weathering was using testers paint and actual dirt..

[@putatankinamall7168]

Same but im 13 rn

[@resin_Hd]

Another terrific episode!

[@tannarriley9012]

lol when you painted it with the red it looked like the surface of Mars. Nice Diorama

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Thank you, it did

[@gruppenfuhrer45]

Thanks Andy, I've learned so much from you. Thanks for posting

[@x3tc1]

Great Diorama! :) one thing I would've added to make it a bit more vivid is a bit piled orange Grass beneath the trees to emulate the shed needles. With just the grass under them they look a bit sterile.

[@georgebrown6540]

As always Andy great work and video, thanks for sharing.

[@ArmourEmpire]

Very effective dio tutorial. Thanks Andy

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Thank you

[@henhoci]

I get ASMR from watching this :)

Really enjoyed that. It would be super helpful if you put a list of materials you used. Thanks heaps.

[@stovallholmes3060]

that would be nice

[@rickgregory9616]

I just subscribed and have been watching a variety of your videos. Very much enjoying them. You make it look so easy! My only comment - suggestion would be to add a list of the materials. Especially the paints so that those of us who want to copy this while learning can have an easier time.

[@blackcobra689]

[@RobertSmith-wm6jm]

As usual Andy.. Nice work !! what type/.Brand of trees are those??.. they look great !!

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

they are made by a company called model scene

[@TV-se4ce]

Good 👍

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

thank you that's great have fun building it.

[@jmateos0411]

Looks great!

[@m-10builds80]

You deserve more subscribers

[@codymckone1714]

Where can I find trees that size or possibly order them? I've always had a hard time with trees. Any info to point me in the right direction would be great. Amazing diorama!

[@lukakrkic5847]

You should make more dioramas

[@andrewbicyclist4654]

Its very useful for me to watch Your videos. I find out a lot about my hobby and I improve my English. According the diorama, it seems to me that the trees could be in front of M10. Crew is looking for enemies towards. Or was M10 moving back away of the Tiger tank ,mabye?

[@danielganser7740]

Cool video From which brand are these trees?

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Thank you they are made by model scene

[@gsonz172]

is the turret of the tank moveable?

[@paulkline1041]

yes

[@SamTulster]

Gsonz HD hand cranked turret,very slow to rotate

[@gsonz172]

SamTulster i meant the turret of the model. Lol

[@darcydixon7401]

yes most tank models on the market have movable turrets tamiya and academy almost always have movable turrets a

[@87mitchb]

Nice vid Andy, what scale trees did you use?

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Thank you, they are just generic scale about 5-9 "

[@danielclarke649]

Excellent work could you put a list of materials you used

[@davidoregan544]

Really like this , where the trees made from kit or hand built. If hand built how about showing us these were made. I'm building a diorama on the Hungten Forest and need about a dozen trees

[@robertchristiansen8455]

Do you sell the trees you used in your diorama, along with the bushes and grass? I'm trying my first diorama and want it to look similar to yours.

[@Dhunter83]

Are the trees also scale 1:35? because the ones i can get here in the netherlands are 40cm high. These are smaller

[@tankman1814]

Are these hard to make

[@reflexless9896]

love it

[@warroomscale]

good model i like it :D

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Thank you

[@djtigerninja4801]

Ok so I want to start this off by saying that this a beautiful diorama with great detail I could do nothing eve close to it but please make track lines where the tank was coming from its Facing forward but no evidence of it coming to that spot there are trees behind it as if it was just plopped into that spot

[@ericc9664]

Could it be that the M10 has a reverse gear?

[@thogyt]

Eric C I agree, anyways none of the trees behind it are knocked down so it technically reversed into there

[@enriquechavez4568]

Transmission: Synchromesh 5 speeds forward, 1 reverse so it did indeed have a reverse gear.

[@floob0985]

hey Andy what do you use for the white stuff in the first step? also what brand?

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

se light weight hydrocal plaster

[@floob0985]

ok thx :)

[@eddiegremlin]

How do you fix the pigment?

[@Bradzilla89]

What brass shells did you use for this diorama?

[@BespokeBandit]

Hi Andy Is it better to paint the panel lines black or the whole vehicle for a shadow coat?

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

I like to spray the whole thing so it creates shadows beyond just panel lines

[@magnetic_5oh194]

i thought you were going to winter diorama, still great job though! i have just started doing models. my first on was the Tamiya tiger ii 1/35 scale :3

[@magnetic_5oh194]

one^

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

yeah, I was going to winter, but the figures weren't in cold weather gear . Thank you for watching

[@razormx3253]

Hello Andy. I really enjoy all your videos! But I was wondering what kind of trees you use? What make are they from? Hope you will respond to my question. Keep on doing what you do!

[@Dingocraft8minecraft]

Hey what weathering power do u use cheers from Australia

[@Dingocraft8minecraft]

Powders

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

I use vallejo pigments

[@Dingocraft8minecraft]

+Andy's Hobby Headquarters thanks very much mate

[@AmazingPillowZ]

Looks great Andy! However i just have one tiny detail to add, the tank tracks seem to be levitating from the ground and not dug in as in a real scenario, maybe add a little weight on it? other than that, great job mate

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Yeah I know I shifted the tank and didn't fit it back in when I was filming, I have moved it and it fits alot better .thanks for watching

[@AmazingPillowZ]

i see, thank you!

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

I need to take photos more often , I noticed if I take a photo and look at it I see flaws easier and quicker, then looking at the model. Thank you as always for watching.

[@AmazingPillowZ]

Please do, it's always a pleasure to see you work!

[@michaelswift2471]

What was the base made of again?

[@jeffleimer6717]

great tips as usual Andy, brilliant build....question what would you suggest to use to do zimmerit? I have seen guys use wood puddy to automotive bondo to a hot screw driver. Also on your shop web sight is it possible to list all your military inventory? that way I could give a shopping list to the in-laws when they snowbird.... a faithful viewer from up north..CHEERS

[@Yuraichu]

Will Diluted Putty works as an replacement for the plaster?

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

I don't think so because it won't take paint the same way as plaster would. It might work in small areas as a patch,

[@MrBMBuilder]

Really nicely done Andy!! What type/brand of weeds were they can you give me details please

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Thank you, its a bag of mixed colored foliage that I thought looks like weeds, sorry I don't have more info I got it a long time ago and it has no label on it

[@randygagliano5984]

I have 2 questions. First is the antenna stretched sprue or wire? if wire what size? And second would regular plaster of paris work for the base? Great job, really glad I found your site.

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Thank you the antenna is just stretched sprue , I believe regular plaster will work fine

[@Fly0High]

I have a question. How do you get the dust and the weed to stick to the diorama? Also, how do you clean the dust that eventually accumulates overtime?

[@friedeggnchips4095]

The dust and weed is applied before the PVA glue dries, and you can use a brush to clean the dust of or just get some tempered glass cut at a local place that cuts glass and make a case

[@perrylamb6286]

Either 50/50 white glue and water mix or matte medium. I'd suggest first wetting the scenery material with regular rubbing alcohol to break the surface tension of the glue/water mix. You could also paint the surface of the plaster with regular "dirt" colored latex paint and put the initial layers of scenery material into the wet paint. That will hold the first layers in place just fine.

[@mrChristopher012]

what airbrush do you use?

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Iwata hpc

[@立花徹也-z4x]

nice!

[@jameskennedy2326]

Thanks so much but what is the plaster called?

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

its name is Woodland Scenics light weight Hydrocal , it comes in a yellow and black container , here is a link woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/Item/LWHDCL/page/1

[@jameskennedy2326]

+Andy's Hobby Headquarters thanks so much for your help, with this my bases will look better than using clay. Keep up the great work!

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Thank you

[@diehard2705]

You should've added a smoke/flame effect coming out of the barrel

[@Ebergerud]

Where do you get those wooden boxes to use for the base?

[@godzilla36]

Eric Bergerud You can use picture frames and a wood board inserted

[@smaffoo]

What 1 35 scale armoured vehicle would you recommend for someone new to armour?

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

try a Tamiya Sherman or Sturmgeschutz they are great for just starting out

[@smaffoo]

Okay will have a look. Thanks. Keep up the great work

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

thank you

[@KingGojiFan54]

Wait u can put regular tamiya paint in an airbrush?

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

yes as long as you thin it, it is great in a airbrush

[@KingGojiFan54]

+Andy's Hobby Headquarters oh awesome! Do i just mix it with equal parts of water in a different container?

[@RemratsStudios]

He uses tamiya thinner (X-20). He made a whole video on it

[@thomassutherland8020]

Andy, have you seen the film, Saints and Soldiers, Battle of the Tanks? It features two M-10 TDs and three replica Mk III Panzers. Not a bad flick.

[@patrickdevries4877]

its also known as saints and soldiers :the void

[@nilsopitz-ball2615]

Where do you learn how to do all of this?

[@Luftangreifer]

Andy, any plan on reviewing miniarts new su122 once released ??

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

That would be a good idea.

[@fdwsr71]

Do you have a on line store?

[@jameskennedy2326]

Because I live in Germany is there a particular brand for the plaster or Where could I get this plaster from? It's a great diorama by the way.

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

thank you I use a product from woodland scenics called light weight hydrocal but any plaster should work for you. Thanks for watching

[@ak_destroyer16]

LOL when it said "add weed"!

[@daytonvernon2440]

Akib Lodhi "add weeds"

[@bhogzalcubilla5142]

Snoop would love that

[@hex1c]

How tall are those pine / spruce trees Andy? I really need your help.

[@ScaleMilitaryModels]

What editor do u use for ur videos?

[@Teckomatorp]

hey man. Where did you get those trees? Im dying for getting those

[@informaltv8566]

Teckomatorp woodland scenics I think

[@jwenting]

@@informaltv8566 looking at woodland scenics products from stores I know all I see is stuff in H0 (1/87) scale, way too small.

[@AriesArriesgado]

Where do you get your trees? Any brand or an online link ty

[@bbrockRailFan]

Check out JTT Trees they are incredible.

[@jamesmccaughey6280]

hey man love this dio. can i ask you where the heck are those trees from our local hobby shop has nothing like these???

[@jwenting]

yeah, that's what I was wondering too. Only trees I can get are at H0 scale for model railways, and those are of course far too small for a 1/35 or 1/48 scale diorama.

[@e.3410]

Great great

[@alandance1399]

what colour paint used for the tank crew

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

I used tamiya dark yellow xf60 for jackets and field drab for pants

[@ac4465]

What is the hydrocal made of?

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

hydrocal is light weight plaster that train modelers use

[@rickphillips8539]

are these trees scratch built or kits ....if they're kits what's the name of the kits and where do I get them

[@rickphillips8539]

Thank you....I have seen trees but really not looked closely at them... Some I've seen just don't have that realistic look though... But I will check them out closer

[@maxvonessen2660]

Make stug III "Finish army" next please

[@Quandaleofdingle]

[@frostycastle2249]

Really want to start making these, but I don't think I'll be good at it

[@dethmaidenfan]

FrostyCastle that’s what I thought too, start small to get the basics then branch out to larger scenes. Checkout PLASMO - plastic models channel for more awesome dios and builds. Good photos of real locations help a too!
