MiniArt 1/35 German Tractor D8532 (full build)

[@JamesJones-of8hl]

I love the clarity of miniarts instructions. I've got a Russian t-34 with interior....👍👍

[@RaduB.]

I was expecting a blue tractor... 🙂 The use of Vallejo paints was another surprise. I really like these agricultural models!

[@jasonlee6744]

Hi Greg, just to echo everyone else’s comments, brilliant and really enjoyed it. I learn something after everyone of your builds. I must say I was a little disappointed when I saw it was a tractor, but throughly enjoyed , and I’ve already bought some Model Air Brunt umber. Thanks for sharing it with us. Jase 🇬🇧

[@jasongood3680]

That was a great build. The final result looks great and, from other comments, it seems like it’s not an easy kit. It really is crying out for a little bit of cobbled road and pavement to sit on. Thanks as ever for your videos - they really help me rebuild my skills with the new products, returning to the hobby after many decades away.

[@greybeardmodels]

Thanks for sharing that Greg. Looks a tricky build but its come out looking great. Cheers Bob 👍

[@GregsModels]

Thanks Bob

[@steves8482]

22 minutes and 2 seconds of de-stressing - love the build, thanks!

[@BigFred1925]

Man I built this bad boy a year or so ago. I’ve got a long way to go. Beautiful job on, in my opinion, a very difficult model. Excellent.

[@markgriffiths6638]

I really enjoyed watching this build and the resulting model looked superb Thanks

[@GregsModels]

Cheers Mark

[@karljones9357]

Really nice build. My father was a farmer back in the 40s. When ever he saw a new tractor on the roads he’d say we never had a cabin never mind heater, aircon or bloody GPS. Old Massey Ferguson. Warmed he’s wellies and gloves on the exhaust pipe. The good old days. Lol

[@free-birdrocker8809]

Building this kit will add more spice to your hobby and yer talents. I always say, "For some reason Germainians have some really interesting stuff out there" Nice Tractor Greg!!!🤠

[@GregsModels]

Very true!

[@basfinnis]

Looks great. Lovely job. Funny, I was dreaming about driving tractors last night. Used to drive them years ago. Hop on and go mad on them, great stuff.

[@foreverplastickits138]

*Wonderful civilian kit, the red orange color is beautiful and makes a real difference with the blue grey one as can be seen in other builds of this tractor.*

[@phil2105]

Thanks for sharing another cracking build Greg. Fascinating how you use thinned down acrylics for post-shading and weathering, every day is a school day on this channel!

[@kennymacdonald1993]

As ever fantastic results.great work.

[@ianhamilton3172]

Really interesting model - and, as usual, giving clear evidence of you as a master of your craft. First class result, most impressive.

[@paulsmodels]

A unique looking tractor, and model kit. Nice work!

[@alancrowley7991]

Nice one Greg, its good to do something out of the norm from time to time especially when it catches your eye in the model shop.👌

[@GregsModels]

It's said that variety is the spice of life; it's so true 👍

[@tesarus8461]

That's how I make all of my purchases! I think this is the most important thing - to get enjoyment out of the process. In my case quite often difficult and badass kit just burns me out, not because kit is bad but because the amount of effort and time to get to the finish line is huge. I made a rule for myself - always make a brake if I feel that process starts to be a drag and make something fast. It can be small, it can be big, but it should be fast (like a week or two).

[@Claymore5]

Gorgeous build - particularly loved the light weathering. I've seen this kit in my local model shop and have been tempted.... the only problem is I could see myself building two or three of these - just because they are different and come with the colour options.

[@Samstrainsofficially]

Nothing wrong with a mountainous stash of unbuilt kits hiding for a rainy day... long as the rainy day comes You ever though about one of those 1:32 locomotive kits by trumpeter, lot of parts, decent amount of detail and something you could have a field day weathering

[@127TROOP]

Beautiful build Greg, love unusual builds, and this is certainly one of those....it just needs a very simple vignette type base now to finish it off...lovely stuff....

[@GregsModels]

Someone mentioned a diorama of it towing a T-34/76?

[@127TROOP]

@@GregsModels oh yes....now you're talking.....

[@JustwingitRC]

Absolutely gorgeous little tractor! Nice job and thanks so much for sharing 👍

[@mode1charlie170]

Beautiful result! I love the subjects that miniart offers. I have a D7 tractor in my stash waiting to be built.

[@davidcole8268]

Neat build as always, with some new wash techniques. I liked the tyre assembly personally. I would have gone for the blue scheme - this looks too much like a crustacean for my liking 🦞but each to their own!

[@free-birdrocker8809]

The weathering is awesome bruh! Ferdinand Porsche would be pleased.🤠

[@davidpowell6098]

Lovely build, Greg. It looks a good kit, you've done it proud, thank you.

[@re-gamer]

Funny for me as german to see you building a LANZ Bulldog, a 2-stroke 10l single cylinder Tractor. Nice!

[@stevepritchard3970]

Lovely result Greg. I have recently done their B-Type bus - similar experience I think, lots of fiddly parts with multiple sprue attachment points. It was quicker to replace some bits with brass or plastic rod than to clean up the kit parts. Looked good when finished, though.

[@MisterGsWorkbench]

Outstanding work as usual Greg! Always enjoy your builds.

[@GregsModels]

Thank you

[@stuartmiller8053]

Beautiful build of an unusual subject. Needs a bit of panel damage on the fenders as every tractor I know and had has that!

[@scaleartsg]

I've never built a miniart kit before and this video confirms that i never will! just too many intricate parts that needs cleaning up will just ruin my mojo! that being said, the tractor came out nice, like most miniart kits

[@GregsModels]

I do understand

[@7Markandrews]

Inspiring Greg, think I need to do something a bit different- model looks excellent as per

[@GregsModels]

Looking forward to the Stuka Mark 😎

[@SullysScaleModels]

Great build matey! some crazy wheel assembly. I like the the wash too make the paint look bleached! Never though of that. You got any suggestion for blue?

[@GregsModels]

Light blue I would think would be ok. I used a tan colour because if I'd used white with red I'd end up with pink. Most times to lighten a colour, tan or buff can help. Paint your main colour on some spare plastic and experiment with different shades of washes before committing to your model.

[@SullysScaleModels]

@@GregsModels awseome cheers dude i was thinking along them lines but wasnt sure thanks mate!

[@cong404040]

Awesome build once again Greg. The unfinished kit doesn’t happen to be the CA Sea Venom?

[@GregsModels]

No it's something that grubs along the ground with tracks 😎👍

[@sebastianariasduval1458]

Fantastic built as always. Congrats. One quick question not related to this post. You sometimes use the W&N UV Matt varnish. What thinner do you utilize and what product to clean your airbrush after shooting this varnish? Cheers

[@GregsModels]

This stuff is produced for artists to be applied by brush only; to finished paintings. But I messed around with it using the airbrush. Thinned down 40 water to 60 varnish, give or take, gave me good results, but does take days to dry. To clean the airbrush I use an airbrush cleaner. But a word of warning, this stuff is tricky to apply. I must make a small video on this.

[@sebastianariasduval1458]

@@GregsModels Hey. Thanks a lot for the quick reply. I had this product for years and never used it and you are the first person I see using it. Making a how to video about this product sounds great. Cheers

You made that looked deceptively easy marra now you need to find a grey fergy to put along side it , look after yourself . Regards Gav.

[@GregsModels]

Someone suggested that I have it towing a damaged Russian tank, T-34. I'm not one for dioramas. But if you ever feel like doing a vignette, I can always send you the tractor. Stay safe Gav

[@simonworrall7950]

Miniart make great kits. The only problem with their philosophy and kits is their somewhat needless complexity….. Tamiya can make this part as one piece so we’ll do it as 5, no wait 10!

[@memememe2674]

And the part with 5 or 10 parts normally look better if you have the skill to build it, if you don't have the skill or want the added extra work don't buy Miniart kits. Buy a Tamiya with over inflated price and finish it in 4 hrs.
