Sorry for the last video everyone. Still no idea what happened. I have triple checked this one and redone all of the sound. Please let me know if you have any issues.

[@stevie65able]

G’day Andrew. Since I last left a comment I have started spraying Vallejo again with a special thinner mix and it goes on like a dream. Beautiful paint.

[@andrewsartscalemodels]

Yeah I love it. Works a treat.

[@finndamage]

I just love the end result. Also big thanks for several painting ideas!

[@andrewsartscalemodels]

Thanks mate. Glad you like it.

[@akaus1000]

Perfect! The music is now background music as apposed to foreground! I can relax and hear you now. Great video.

[@andrewsartscalemodels]

Thanks mate and thank you for letting me know.

[@GregReilly135ScaleModels]

What a cracking build Andrew i love the paint job Ive this kit in my stash it could be my next build now ive seen this

[@andrewsartscalemodels]

Thanks mate. I had a blast making this one. Wish I could take credit for the paintscheme, once I spotted it I just had to build it.

[@shifty2755]

I could not be arsed. but I bet its therapeutic 😌

[@RimsModels]

Really nice job and very well finished 👍👍

[@andrewsartscalemodels]

Thank you very much!

[@MiguelBRScalemodelsDioramas]

Well done! Thanks for sharing your job!

[@hrvatskibricks7745]

This turned out awesome! I love the paint scheme with the red oxide and zig zagged lines.

[@andrewsartscalemodels]

Thanks mate. The idea was to copy the 1/3rd late war panther scheme. 👍 I think I will have to do another paper panzer in that scheme.

[@hrvatskibricks7745]

Andrews Art & Scale models yeah it’d look awesome! an E-50 could look great.

[@jeanmarcgalzy7747]

Bonjour mon ami Andrew félicitations de FRANCE 👍🇫🇷 Hello my friend Andrew thanks for sharings 👍very good job Congrats buddy good days of France 👍🇫🇷

Tu parler francais aussi I'm not the best at it

[@BAST_master_MODELS_]

Great job! Looking forward to your builds. Best regards BM

[@stevie65able]

G'day Andrew. I know you painted this many years ago, but I would like to ask what your experience was like with the Vallejo paints? Currently working on a Tamiya Panther with AK Real Colours (lacquer). However, for the next project I intend using some of my Vallejo colours to see how they hold up. Really enjoyed your build of this beauty! Cheers from Melbourne.

[@andrewsartscalemodels]

A fellow Melbourneite! Thanks mate, glad you liked it. The Vallejo acrylics preformed beautifully. As a tamiya acrylic fan it was a little out of my comfort zone at first, however I have added many of the Vallejo range to my collection now. They are somewhat thinner than Tamiya I found, that said I still thinned them for use in the airbrush as I usually work at lower PSI range. Being able to drop measure straight from the bottle was also a big help. I find that they are easy to get thinned properly (don't know why), than the Tamiya range as well. I have never airbrushed Lacquer so I am not sure how they compare in that regard. Might see you at the Australian model expo this year. If you enter any models let me know I would love to take a look.

[@stevie65able]

@@andrewsartscalemodels I will be going this year on the Sunday to the swap and sell, and then head down to the show. I am also on Scalemates as Isti65. Like you, I also spray at low psi-10-15psi, for 99% of my airbrushing. I did have trouble with Vallejo, but since then I watched a video from a bloke called Are We There Yet Modelling who did a really good video on an excellent thinning mixture to use. Beautiful smooth paints.

[@jordyfischer2602]

Hey Andrew. Why don't you melt the tracks together? That's how they do it with the revell tiger 2. The tracks look very similar.

[@andrewsartscalemodels]

Good question. I will likely try it in the future. Wanted to see if I could find a glue that would work.

[@seandickie6289]

Looks good also didnt the germans only make the hull of the e-100 but it was never finished

[@andrewsartscalemodels]

Certainly did bud. They made at least one hull. But never built a turret. The hull was later sent to the British for evaluation and eventually scrapped. The also made a few wooden mock ups of other e-series tanks and a schmaltrum turret that was ment to feature on the panther II and possibly the E-50, but that's about it.

[@Jackc8201]

You've done a beautiful job, however, how can it have been in service long enough to get all kinds of paint chipping etc., but at the same time much of it is still in primer? Wouldn't the crew have probably painted that over, because red makes them an easy target?

[@andrewsartscalemodels]

Correct. This is a fictional tank hence the mash up. Some late war panther tanks had a scheme called 1/3rd? If memory serves. That was red primer and stripes of yellow and white.

[@Commander_Nathan]

Although i dont think i will get a reply, but is the kit good?

[@andrewsartscalemodels]

Yeah mate. Its a fun build.

[@daltonwilliams2121]

how did you fit the turret to the hull i am having issues with mine so i might just glue the turret to the hull if i can't figure it out

[@andrewsartscalemodels]

Hi mate. If memory serves the fit was tight but other than that I didn't have any issues. Sorry I am not more helpful

[@deadmike73]

Wittmanns E-100 :)

[@DiagolonRider]

who else makes the World of Tanks prototype model tanks? there was a 1/35 scale Maus model at hobbycraft here in town, but i didn't really at, i was too wrapped up in getting the stuff i needed got my Tiger I lol. almost thinking of going back and getting it. what would be cool is if you could get aftermarket camos like the event camos u get in game. like the Maus xmas camo u get in the xmas boxes with the Bofors AA gun on it etc...

[@andrewsartscalemodels]

Hobbyboss, amusing hobby and trumpeter make some of the tanks you will find in the game. The camo you will need to do yourself mostly. You could kit bash and scratch build the Xmas versions.

[@DiagolonRider]

@@andrewsartscalemodels right on, thanks again

[@Train115]

Is this a good model for starters? I am looking to do atleast one model in the near future, and I want to make sure it isnt too hard.

[@andrewsartscalemodels]

Its not too bad mate. The tracks can be a bit fiddly. I would recommend an older 1/35 Tamiya kit as a starter. They are normally great kits.

[@owenauer3406]

The only people that are going to see the paint and weathering on the bottom of the tank are the one's throwing the models away after I'm dead.

[@andrewsartscalemodels]

Hahaah

[@olmocap5548]

why... does your model lack metallic texture aka tamiya glue + tamiya putty and also lacking that glassy shiny old tank paint used to have?

[@andrewsartscalemodels]

No idea.

[@stevie65able]

@@andrewsartscalemodels Apparently the Germans ran out of metallic texture late in the war.....smh. :)

[@heinzguderian9980]

Most tanks didn't have shiny paint. It's a bad idea to use paint that will glint in the light since it gives away your position. Look at pictures of Bovington's Tiger. The vehicles that came closest to having a glossy paint job are some Shermans since after the paint was applied, they were put in a room with heat lamps to speed up the drying process. This caused the paint to be a bit more glossy. But german tanks were not glossy.

[@olmocap5548]

@@heinzguderian9980 actually in the book "königstiger in combat" there are plenty of historic pictures that show not that the vehicles shine under the sun in a way that blinded the enemies but that in many cases the light reflects, even in tigers with zimmerit. Keep in mind that paint in armored vehicles has seen a lot of improvement over the years and tanks 75 years ago did show that they were made out of metal even with their paintjobs. But I have to give you that you are right in one case, dusty tanks don't shine, or at least not as much, but still giving the semi glossy texture and then applying the dust gives the most realistic result. Talking about historic pictures, if you look at enough of them you will actually see pictures of ISUs, comets, panzer IIIs, tiger 2s and etc that do shine. Also, it's not only about shining, it's about that the shine shows the texture of the part shining, for example, the fenders of a comet reflecting light are a single clear surface because the shine is equal while on a ISU some parts of the front plate shine and others don't because of the rough texture of the armor plate

[@lightjaypanda3065]

Thank you for this video, I've just bought a Stug E-100 kit yesterday and look for inspiration for Panzerwaffe '46 color scheme to use. BTW, could you refer me to the white number decals you used on the hull?

[@andrewsartscalemodels]

Thanks mate. Glad you like the video. The decals came with the kit, I just cut out the numbers I wanted. You might be able to find some limited run or custom decals online.

[@lightjaypanda3065]

Andrews Art & Scale models I have a sheet of digits for tactical numbers only and asked about the white ones on lower hull where you didn't put the schurzen screen :) thanks anyway

[@andrewsartscalemodels]

@@lightjaypanda3065 sorry mate I miss understood. They just came out of my spares box. I think originally they were for an American 1/35 tank. Not sure which.
