Full Painting Tutorial (My Best Tracks Ever?!)

[@keithmartland6463]

When you build the model, the painting part is next, i don't know about anyone else, but i always find the painting, and the the little details we do, such a stress beater, its just so relaxing?

[@Eekhorn]

It looks really good! I will use it as one of my references when it's time to paint my Mark V 💪

[@mattockmodels]

That's awesome! Thank you so much for watching.

Very nice MatMod.

[@mattockmodels]

Thanks!

I wish I had seen this when I built my Mark IV a few years ago as I learned a few techniques watching this episode which I could have incorporated into my paint job. Terrific outcome MM.....loved the result. I might grab another kit at some point and have go with some new tricks :)

[@mattockmodels]

It's such a fun build, grab another! 🤣 Thanks so much for watching, I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

@@mattockmodels You can't have too many Mk IVs in the stash so I will most definitely 😀

[@mexicanboy8]

Very nice! I have the Takom Mark I and IV. These guys scream for a diorama base. Your wanting me to jump ship on a current project to start on one of these landships.

[@mattockmodels]

I've wanted to build a trench for years! Can't wait. Good luck with the Takom, I hear it's a great kit.

Ottimo video. Nice tutorial

[@mattockmodels]

Thanks!

Great Build! , I'm going to use some of these techniques on my mark IV, what is the clay paste you brushed onto the tracks after the initial brown green airbrush to make the mud effect?

[@mattockmodels]

That's great! It was such a fun build, enjoy. The paste is (terrains light earth) from AK's diorama series #AK8021. Hope that helps.

Great job MM! The detailing with the oils really bring it to life. Did you you apply a clear coat before applying the oils and other effects? I have tried with and without clear coat, but I am not sure which is preferable to achieve a good result. Looking forward to the next project. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺!

[@mattockmodels]

That's a great question, I did uses the old semi gloss varnish before and after the decals trick. So it's a bit of both. I'm having a lot of success with the dryness of the blending brush. Check out some of rinaldistudio press videos if you haven't already, he really breaks it down. Thanks for watching!

Excellent. I'm currently at the painting stage if the Takom Mk.IV, and this video has given me some great tips👍

[@mattockmodels]

That's awesome! I hear it's a great kit too.

[@erickirwan8703]

@@mattockmodels An absolute plesure to build, one of the best kits i've had.

If by "last week" you mean like 4 weeks ago...

[@mattockmodels]

🤣 I could have sworn I wrote "last video" in the script! Thanks for sticking with me, those tracks took ages.
