Building a German Tank Destroyer + Camo Painting | Tamiya Marder 3 M

[@HobbyNight]

Join me later today at 1 pm when I’ll be paining the other tank crew members!

[@RustyShavlefordlll]

German camo is an endlessly fascinating subject.

[@cx3264]

This is a great work. I especially like how you painted the figure

[@wodzimierzradomski3993]

Efektiwe arbeit marder wie leben gruse😊

[@zumanoka3310]

nice model! I would suggest adding dust and mud. it changes a lot

[@HobbyNight]

I will when I’m ready to add it to a diorama so that the dirt matches.

[@chrism2920]

Great work!

[@HobbyNight]

Thank you!

[@djstreiker2171]

The Marder is really nice, good Work👍

[@HobbyNight]

Thanks! 😊

[@haveman32]

“Prepared to Fire!!” You did such a great job painting the tank. It turned out awesome. Love the paint detail you did on the inside. Love the camo style colors you did. The driver is very cool too. You are amazing.💜💜

[@FurryCruz]

Looks great!

[@animeator]

Ooh. Box art worthy! "prepared to fire!" Indeed.

[@Kitsnbits]

The marder 111 looks very good you have done a good job,I have yet to build this kit.

[@RSW6666]

Looks Great! You really did the camo well. I can't wait to see where it ends up in you diorama. Perhaps hiding in a Normandy hedgerow, waiting for some Shermans.

[@gordon8753]

That view on your balcony though!!! Beautiful!! We don't have views like this in Detroit. Awesome video!!! very informative!

[@sylvainvanduyl6143]

Well.... I have seen some content from you, but never came back to you. I am a scale Modeller (and have a webshop with my own designs). The way you build and paint is a really good way to show people who a good painting technique is good enough if a person do not have an airbrush. German vehicles usually were painted with air pressure paints. But you showed brushing on is possible! Love to see how your diorama comes together! Oh, and the tracks...it is a choice to keep them off...I normally put them on... paint the underside black and with an airbrush I paint in the (dark yellow) wheels and the details of the hull ... Tracks and road wheel-rubber stays black. The tracks get a overbrush and drybrush. Then the mud and dust will tie everything together! But, in the end ... Nice skills girl!

[@splinterrad1963]

looks great

[@HobbyNight]

Thank you!

[@joshuaedley5191]

That German tanks looks awesome!

[@mayofrench5170]

Nice work! Snarling Badger came out with Tanks for the Apocalypse. It is Tank v Tank using Shermans. I would love to see a Sherman done Tank Girl style.

[@anthonylichfield3540]

You made a great job of this kit happy modelling 👍

[@jamesbednar8625]

Good build. I built this same kit when it first came out about 12-15 years ago and had the 1-piece vinyl tracks. I, too, had problems with that finicky PE exhaust cover and the way Tamiya suggested to build it...well let's just say my kit does NOT have an exhaust. Re-purchased this same kit a few years ago because of the improved plastic tracks, but still avoided the PE for the exhaust this time - just figured it was damaged in combat and the crew chopped it off is my story.

[@stevenbrindley2469]

You did a fantastic job on the camouflage paint, I do mine using an airbrush and masking off certain areas. Nice to see it done by hand painting. Best wishes from me in England UK.

[@robertarnold6672]

I was cringing when you first laid paint on the tank but it turned out really well. I was surprised at the quality of the camouflage especially being hand painted with a brush. Nice job! Your skills are rapidly growing.

[@DutchDaveModels]

Like the result of this German SPG kit. Not overly weathered, just some washes. 💥👍💥

[@HobbyNight]

Thanks 👍

[@DutchDaveModels]

@@HobbyNight No problem, hope you're going to do more of these. We have a great Scale Model Community and need more cool panzer ladies ✨👍✨

[@fercabrera7274]

LIKE THE FAST, SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE WAY YOU ASSEMBLE THE MODELS. YOU ARE A PRO.

[@HobbyNight]

Thanks 👍

[@Drrezzin]

You do some very nice work Angela. Might I suggest some weathering and dry-brushing to make of the details really pop? Try it on your next build. I think you'll love the results. Keep up the great work! It's nice to see the ladies getting into the hobby!!

[@HobbyNight]

Thanks for the tip!

[@krisb2184]

The crew certainly looks prepared to fire!

[@user-lw7om1sg1m]

Theyre not radio antennas they are support poles for a tarp or camo netting due to the Marder being an open top. Excellent paint job especially as this is your first hand painted hard line camouflage pattern 👍

[@Johnny-tt8zc]

Turned out beautiful Angela. Since you like camo, how about doing a tiger meet jet? As for armor, how about a Swedish CV90, one scheme resembles palm fronds. Have a wonderful weekend. 🌲

[@HobbyNight]

I will look into those, they sound exciting!

[@WarGamingNewbHistorical]

Tracks are always a pain in the ass regardless of manufacturer (I've only really dealt with Warlord/Italeri but seems universal across companies). Great build!

[@HobbyNight]

Thanks!

[@craiggarrett26]

Great job! Looks prepared to fire

[@rickjarret7233]

Damn I need to get back to learning how to paint. That looks absolutely amazing! Hope I can get that good and be prepared to fire someday soon.

[@RichardJRussell]

I think those 'antennae' are actually props for holding up the cammo netting and keeping it clear of the breach loading area.

[@HobbyNight]

Oh I wonder why they didn't do some cloth nets with it then. I guess that gives me even more of a reason to maybe have them broken off so I don't have to stress about it any more lol

[@sjaakvandervrande9414]

Beautiful work I use for Antennas old Guitarstrings .10 or .09

[@peter_hauer]

What an overview over the build, the timelapses were great. If you are open for more then tanks from Tamiya, perhaps consider one of the mobile anti aircraft gun models (flak) they have. That would give a great diorama combined with the Marder, if you give it the same camo.

[@HobbyNight]

Great Suggestion!

[@musoseven8218]

Excellent work👍✌️💜

[@stevenmcgrath5114]

"This Girl" should try the Ambush Pattern as her first airbrush challenge . . . Also, great work on your panzer . 😀

[@kevinjohnson8220]

One little hack you can do with most German armor kits is to not glue the wheels to the suspension but to the tracks instead. That way you can pull off the entire assembly as one part then paint and weather it separately.

[@HobbyNight]

Oh I hadn't considered that. Thanks for the tip.

[@kevinjohnson8220]

@@HobbyNight one thing I use to attach my wheels so they align is Hob-E-Tac, which you can find in the model railroad section of a hobby shop. However with interleaved suspensions like Panthers and Tigers friction often will hold them in place so the Tac isn't necessary

[@2jackdolan]

Prepared to fire! Great work as always

[@KikorPlaysHobbies]

Tiger 1 , King tiger, panther, elephant great camo schemes to start with. Should start using airbrush 😊😊😊

[@gasgassteve]

Try doing soft edge camo with the airbrush . It's easier than you think . Most german armor has soft edge camo . But other wise thats a good looking tank . Even with the hard edge camo . Thanks for the vid

[@CD-ek3iq]

PREPARED TO FIRE!🔥

[@technomad1770]

One way to jazz up painting model tanks I suppose😉.

[@BrotherAlan74]

Prepared to fire! Love that work and model

[@joaquinmurrieta2406]

Perhaps the humble Sturmgeschütz III (StuG III) might be of interest. On the Eastern front, out of necessity, the (Stug lll) became a true tank killer. Once the crews of the Marder 3 crews realized the reputation of Stug lll, which was not designed for engaging tanks or even considered to be a tank, they began to request and prefered the humble Stug lll instead.

[@HobbyNight]

That could be fun

[@joaquinmurrieta2406]

​@@HobbyNight Your building of Tank models uploads are interesting and informitive. Its enjoyable considering your perspective and observing your skill and technique building these historic beasts.

[@MrJoeGarner]

They are treads, but that word refers, more specifically, to the part of the track that provides traction. They are more commonly referred to as tracks.

[@bjorngroen]

If you think these tracks are hard, try some Meng Panther tracks or M270 tracks

[@mikeharbour3016]

If you heat the photo etch it bends much easier...

[@HobbyNight]

Thanks for the tip

[@gruppenfuhrer45]

Do a Tiger 1 tank. My favorite

[@wolframofsigil]

Prepared to fire! A very cool video - something like this would weather really well with enamels I think - good use of odourless thinner can really help the weathering conentrate in the right areas without permanently staining your panels where the dust would be less likely to accumulate.

[@gasgassteve]

And may I add , camo should have opacity differences in it . Some paints that were applied weathered and wore out easier than the base coat put on . But great work and inspiring

[@randomv3iwer]

I came here thinking it was another attractive person using their physique to garner clicks, but thank god I was wrong about the last part. This was wholesomely entertaining and informative. Thank you and good luck. 🤞🏼 😉

[@HobbyNight]

Thank you, but technically I still am. (I've tested it, and let me tell you, 'just tank' vs 'tank + me' is 1/3rd the performance)

[@randomv3iwer]

I see. Nevertheless, your content is on point with Hobby related matters. Come visit us in Tokyo. Drop by Akihabara and Odaiba (the Gundam base with giant Unicorn Gundam standing guard outside.) Cheers 🍻

PREPARED TO FIRE! And SO happy that I'm not the only KZbinr who forgets they're wearing a green shirt on greenscreen day.

[@simonglover2996]

Have a look at a british !churchill" tank, not much in camo veriaty but it looks some how perhistoric!

[@HobbyNight]

I'll look into it!

[@brandonanderson4342]

This is historically Prepared to Fire!

[@thorledemon]

Prepared to fire! Thanks for the video queen of slaanesh

[@richardq916]

[@wardog995]

Prepared to fire! 😊

[@Dragon_Werks]

My recommendation for a historically accurate camoflaged tank would be one of these: * German Panther G (Late) (Dragon or Takom) * German Tiger I (Mid or Late) w/Zimmerit (Takom) * German Tiger II H (King Tiger) w/ Zimmerit (Takom, Hobby Boss, or Dragon) * German Hetzer tank destroyer (Takom or Dragon) * US M60A3 (Takom or AFV Club; avoid the Tamiya kit!) NOTE: When getting a Dragon kit, always, ALWAYS, try to get either a kit with Magic Tracks, individual link tracks on the sprues, or get aftermarket tracks, because Dragon DS tracks are GARBAGE! They rot and fall apart. Literally EVERY ONE of my Tiger I kits has this issue, both 1/35 and 1/72. Beware.

[@HobbyNight]

Thank you for the recommendations! 🥰

[@Spur1Denmark]

The experiences with DS vary. Some show the exact behavior you describe, others work,as intended 🤗

[@sensuella]

Great thumbnail. Not a bait to lonely men at all..

[@technomad1770]

Of COURSE NOT !! 🤣.

[@Spur1Denmark]

Thank you for the video, and cool that you enjoyed the build and liked the result. That's the most important part of the hobby, after all ;) This is meant as constructive feedback: The tracks should be black with possible metallic wear, particularly where the track part would make contact with the ground. For a few further details about colours for German WWII armor, spend 9 minutes with this excellent video (even if I disagree with his #2 recommendation): kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5bIgGt7mtN9r7ssi=yVcGXttZhY5CvRNX

[@deividassimkus9725]

somwhat strange see girl who builds tank models :D

[@ekatt3309]

Armor model builders are a fickle group of people, if you ever want to be taken seriously stop focusing on selling ass and put more effort into your build. For starters German tank crew uniforms are black. Also I suggest doing a pin wash instead of just built, paint, and sloshing wash over everything. Use dust and mud effects, and you hit the nail on the head build your tracks and remove them to paint separately. Also some chipping effects make armor look seasoned. Painting miniatures and bigger scale kits are 2 different monsters with different methods of work. This is just some constructive criticism and hope you try different techniques to achieve your goals.

WHAT THE FUCK 6:02

I’m not impressed with your videos its al about the money for you I can tell you are not a real model builder you dress 👗 in shot cut stuff for views and sups it’s all about Money for you

[@HobbyNight]

Okay.

[@timc5203]

Sigh....not antennas, they are canvas cover supports .tracks not treads...not a tank... Good effort for a beginner...

[@christinahaddrell2110]

Great build but just add your voice over. We don’t need to see you in front of what you are describing. A few shots, sure. But we don’t want to see you as much as your work.
