So happy to see a new Jon bius video! You’re the best!

[@JonBius]

Truly the Bob Ross of model weathering

[@JonBius]

You are far too generous. Thank you for such a kind comment. And thanks for watching and commenting. Happy day to you friend!

[@whittaker007]

Good to see you back Jon!

[@JonBius]

Thanks so much!

I have a couple of these in back stash with plans of turning one of them into the A-Team van, with 3D printed A-Team members.

[@JonBius]

You know, I actually started off considering doing this as the A-Team van too! The only reason I did not was I hope to sell it, and it will likely have a better chance if it is closer to canon. But I think your idea of adding in the A-Team would be awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@rustedbeetle]

@@JonBius great minds!

[@jhoodfysh]

Weathering adds a lot to our models and multiple layers with different mediums as you have said many, many times adds a significant level of authenticity. PS nice seeing the Bob Ross pictures on your desk in the background.

[@JonBius]

Absolutely - layers gives depth of finish, and "sells" it to the brain better. That little pic from my Bob Ross gallery visit! Happy day to you friend!

[@jhoodfysh]

@@JonBius Yes, that is what I thought it was and where it was from. Must be a real delight to be able to see that each day. I noticed it a while ago.

Ground up Ewoks! I love it! Great work, Jon! One thing I've done on some of my past models is put my own name on the driver / TC square on the side. I'm starting to get out of my comfort zone of modern armored vehicles. I'm thinking a Sci Fi vehicle might be in the cards soon!

[@JonBius]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! The great thing about scifi vehicles is that all of the techniques you've learned for modern armor are directly transferable. The best part is if you give yourself permission to expand outside of "modern armor weathering constraints", it essentially grows your skillset in a way you normally would not feel free to do. Heck, try a Warhammer 40K Leman Russ. You can literally go as far as you want, and never have to worry about "realistic". Whatever you do, have fun with it! Thanks for watching and commenting. 😊

Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery nice Pal !!! I have this model, just love the way you just didn't glued the huff

[@JonBius]

I'm glad you liked it! I think you'll enjoy it. Happy modeling!

I loved your comment about the positioning of what appears to be air intakes. Curious if you thought about adding some dents, or small bits of grass to them.

[@JonBius]

Thought about? Yes. Acted on the thought? No... I was ready to move on. LOL At the end of most builds I tend to have one eye on the next one. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Hey Jon. You are not on FB anymore ?

[@JonBius]

No, I got off of all social media about a year ago - FB, IG, and X. Life is simpler that way. :) Thanks for searching me out on KZbin - I am grateful!

[@JonBius]

Forgot to mention - I'm still on Patreon, and I have my blog at www.jonbius.com. :)
