[@thomasdailey9280]

Been looking forward to this video . Kicked back in the recliner , streaming from my phone to the TV . Lights , camera , action !

[@thomasdailey9280]

The green is too light for my taste , but it's great work . You're very good with your techniques . Looking forward to the next one , Chris .

[@beckersmodels]

@@thomasdailey9280 Thanks Thomas - yeah its quite light, but I will be adding oils to this in the next stage, so that overall light green is dialed back considerably! I might just push through and finish this, as I'm itching to get back to the Ghost Mig and other projects, cheers Chris

[@petermerz2704]

Looks great! Love the panel wash around the rivets. They really stand out! Happy days and model on! 😎

[@beckersmodels]

Thanks Peter, I'm trying hard to make this one stand out a bit more, pushing the envelope a little on it...cheers Chris

Someone has been watching Uncle Night Shift videos. The tank looks amazing. Nice job.

[@beckersmodels]

Thanks Paul, yeah I'm a fan, just trying out some techniques here and there. Not normally a tank modeller, but was curious about 4BO as I have a BT-7 I really want to attempt! Cheers Chris

[@brucethemodelnoob]

Looking sweet so far. Modulation is a bit strong for my taste, but I expect it will tone down a little with weathering. Looking forward to the next instalment.

[@beckersmodels]

Yep thats the intent, boost up the modulation so it doesnt disappear when the heavy weathering comes along...also to let it stand out a bit on the table...heh heh...thanks Bruce! I'm hoping to finish this soon..

[@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite]

Great attention to detail. Coming along really well

[@beckersmodels]

Thanks 👍

[@ejharrop1416]

Thank you and as usual I am in awe of what you do. Its watching a masterpiece coming to life. Really enjoyed it and look forward to seeing the finished model. Cheers mate!

Glad you liked it, cheers Chris

[@DDB168]

Looks amazing !

[@beckersmodels]

Thanks, having a lot of fun with this, not normally a tankie guy! Cheers Chris

[@FlokisModels]

Really like the results so far. The wood effect looks amazing

[@beckersmodels]

Oh thanks, I'm trying to improve the tools/stowage bits, I always skip those for tanks, but I think it looks betterer. Easier in 1/16, I dont have many 1/35 kits left to do but heaps of 1/16...cheers Chris

Hi Chris, Brilliant. But please don't make us wait another 12 months until part 3😂

[@beckersmodels]

heh heh sorry about that, yes I have a habit of doing that - especially things like my Millennium Falcon conversion and CH-53 build...

[@hanssmidt12]

Nice video not all about chipping but interesting

[@beckersmodels]

Thanks glad you liked it

[@stephicohu]

Chris, I have a question on chipping, how long do you have if you use the hairspray technique? Days or hours to do the chipping?

[@beckersmodels]

Technically you have days if you keep the model in a nice dry storage place without it getting it wet. Cheers, Chris
