[@the-primered-thumb]

Like doing that armour texture, it's ace when you get it right 😉👌

[@coldemonspl]

Thank you very much! :)

[@kiwinesss]

Very classy. On doesn't often find quality modellers on YT, there are but a handful. But you really do belong to the quality sort, and I like your work. I have now subscribed to your channel. This work process is similar in some ways to that of NightShift, although you both have your different refining techniques. I look forward to looking at your other videos and also any new work you post. Thank you. Dziękuję.

[@coldemonspl]

Thank you. I'm showing my work. I am glad that it helps and pleases someone. :)

Amazing video with a lot of great tips

[@coldemonspl]

Thx a lot! :)

[@robinjansen7250]

Great tutorial, tnx I will try it on my next project. 😉👍

[@coldemonspl]

It's very easy, just try it! Good luck! :)

[@SmallSoldier]

Wow Lucasz, you've put a lot of extra work into what I thought was an already pretty damn good kit. I guess there's always room for improvements. Lot's of great tips here, what I like to see is everyone has they're own way of doing things and this gives us all lots to think about when building our own models. Hey... I'm an old dog but I always like to learn new tricks. Thanks for the "shout out" as well, I really appreciate that and I hope It'll bring some new subscribers aboard the Small Soldier crazy train. KUTGW... cheers!🙂

Great tutorial!

[@coldemonspl]

Thx a lot! :)

[@danakrause5031]

Great video. I dont have time/patience for this type of work but I love the results. These steps are really necessary to get the right metal appearance for KT, Panther, Jagdpanther etc.

[@coldemonspl]

Indeed! And I have a feeling inside that makes me do such things on the model. :)

[@stevecrowe1000]

great work mate...as usual

[@coldemonspl]

Thx a lot mate! :)

[@hotelcharlie-six5408]

Lucasz - amazing…..looks like another masterpiece!

Thx a lot mate! :)

[@tomaszjaniszewski7445]

Podoba się. W kolejnym modelu wypróbuję Twój patent na ślady po pociskach. Wygląda to bardzo realistycznie.

[@coldemonspl]

Prosta sprawa. Powodzenia! :)

[@crazylocha2515]

Hi Lukas, another grezt video from a true master, I have to admit I don't think I have the patience for thst much work, plus I am trying to get my 'mojo' back for modelling, at the moment I have two vihicles on the desk, take care mate and keep safe and well, happy modelling, again nice to see you make a physical appearance, cheers mate.

[@coldemonspl]

Thank you Les! As always is nice to see you are here and watch my videos. And write a comments! :):):)

[@lmmodellismomilitare]

So nice and really good tutorial! Thank you for sharing!

[@coldemonspl]

No problem! Thank you very much! :)

[@RimsModels]

Cool video my friend great techniques used and well explained that shel damage looks great something I’ll be trying in the future thanks for sharing 👍🙏

[@coldemonspl]

Thank you very much mate! It's very easy so good luck with this on your model!! :)

[@russouk]

You used same putty as I do for tezture...its great with drop of water and easy to sand after if too much also green stuff for beads as it is usable for 2 hors or so ...milliput for me doesnt work as its water based and tends to stick to everything and when hangling it...comes off on your hands...maybe I need let it set a bit longer also I use greenstuff now for zimmerite with the mastertools zimmerite rollers...great tool btw...I like your style Lucasz,you approach models like I do

[@coldemonspl]

You're right talking about milliput and green stuff. I agree. Thx for your comment! :)

[@russouk]

@@coldemonspl milliputs made not far from me in South Wales uk..:)

[@LazyKalor]

One thing about hot rolled steel texture, shouldn't imperfections be composed only from pits? With how sheet is rolled there is no way that there could be material added onto surface. Usually imperfections are caused by material sticking to the rollers, non-metallic additions from rollers pressed into sheet, chipping and cracking. Other than that surface imperfections are created by years of corrosion which is often visible in restored vehicles, but this also in form of pits(after removing rust). Slapping putty on top of thicc armor is okay, but imo all excess layers should be scrapped away. This way it wouldn't be looking like casted steel.

[@coldemonspl]

I'm very happy to see you here! Thank you very much for your comment! :) And you're right. it should evidently look like what you wrote. Can I use your post in my next videos to explain the essence of rolled steel?

[@LazyKalor]

@@coldemonspl Yes, feel free.

[@ScaleMilitaryModels]

Great work! Really looking forward to the next episode! On the front plate, what gun do you reckon made the large impact? Soviet 152 Howitzer? Looks too big for any American guns… Just curious

[@coldemonspl]

Maybe it is too big.:) It wasnt made as a straight shot but more smth like "slipped". I hope it is good word to explain my plan :)

[@ScaleMilitaryModels]

@@coldemonspl Yep. Always learning!

[@lordzombey1337]

Great job! Quick question are the tracks out of the Box?

[@coldemonspl]

Yes, they are. And they are glued with the wheels... and they will be painted as one piece. Im going to make separate video about it. :)

[@fontactio]

cool work, but isn’t it a copy paste of Night Shift techniques? (a.k.a. Martin Covak)

[@coldemonspl]

If I wrote you that I did it on my models before Martin showed on his channel, would you believe it? :)

[@fontactio]

I guess yes!😃👍😛

[@coldemonspl]

@@fontactio THX :)

[@Dragon_Werks]

Which kit is this one? Also, please show how to make the weld bead tool.

[@SmallSoldier]

It's in the title of the video... Meng King Tiger TS-031.

[@Dragon_Werks]

@@SmallSoldier I had a DERP moment there! Thanks. Funny, I have that kit, but mine is molded in panzer gelb instead of red oxide.

[@SmallSoldier]

I have those DERP moments every hour!😉

[@coldemonspl]

Oh, it's very easy - just round a piece of metal on the topothpick. Form it, sand a bit to have round edn and glue to the toothpick. :)
