Excellent video Martin! You've got an excellent wood result that I might have to steal cause that's always tricky to get right in my experience. I noticed a few things you might be interested in: The bolt/wire cutters' tool handles aren't steel in red primer covered in paper. They're plain steel covered in a resin-impregnated compressed paper that itself was dyed dark red. People often say they were Bakelike but only the little end caps on the handles were that. Oh and that rear convoy light should be dark blue...the earlier "square" one with the four holes used four green lights, but the "tubular" one (later-war) used four normal light bulbs inside a dark-ish blue tube, so you get four blue lights showing through when lit. Works kind of like old incandescent Christmas light bulbs. I know that cause StuG stuff :)
@NightShiftScaleModels4 жыл бұрын
Oh man, I even made screenshots from Adam Mann's video so I could paint them as best as I could. I guess next time I'll skip the whole red primer thing and just paint their handles in that compressed paper color and probably just add a few stains. The convoy light was confusing. I noticed it glows blue when turned on, but the best reference I found were museum tanks and there it seemed like the glass tube was just black. Might be an inaccuracy caused during the restoration process?

one thing about the Rubber, Natural rubber actually has a slight reddish or brownish colour, and synthetic rubber, or Oil Rubber, is the grey-black kind, most tyres and rubber products were natural rubber leading up to the war, but with supply lines becoming strained, synthetic rubber ultimately replaced it, so mismatched rubber on the road wheels would be both historical and a neat detail.

Being late to this video (6 Months plus). I have to say that gluing the tank wheels they way you do, is so darn smart, simple and just crazy easy. I have a German Hetzer that I have not built yet, and I am looking forward to building - albeit with less tank wheel challenges. Throw in how you paint the tracks, and the color combo - totally awesome. The tank wheels look great. Thanks for creating this video I just learned two new neat tricks that I will use. I hope that you continue to do more videos, and perhaps you can cover other ways of weld seams, and tarps. You and a many others are an inspirations to many of us modelers that are re-discovering this wonderful hobby. I am enjoying your videos, your candor, and down to earth explanations are really great. I am glad you choose to create this videos. Lastly, I want to say that I watch a few other KZbin channels (No insult intended), and I really enjoy you tips and tricks.. Thanks from a Canuck returning to modelling after 25 years - I hope you never lose your love of scale model building.

9:02 - those are not endcaps you are painting there. It's the braces for the bolt cutter holder. It's part of the vehicle, not the cutter, the endcaps are under that part.

I just checked them on the Bovington Tiger and they don't look like braces you'd slide the bolt cutters in. The brace is the flat piece of sheet metal under them and the bakelite end caps are clearly visible on the tank: 1.bp.blogspot.com/-LxE3w-ENoAI/W0I5oUHrbfI/AAAAAAACXzY/8n9rerIXQIkAhGB2jr0xmyPSXZU16r4bQCLcBGAs/s1600/Bovington%2BTiger%2BCollection%2BTiger%2BI%2B%252810%2529.jpg But I'll look into it later, you got me curious.

Hey there Uncle, I am painting my first tank using your system of filters and chips. So far so good. I finished the chipping last night and it looks fantastic but I must have got too excited and over done it. When I look at the kit this morning it kind of looks like too much chipping, as though the tank was caught in a gravel storm. Maybe the subsequent layers of dust and dirt will tone this down some, we will see. For sure I will use more restraint on the next one. I am very thankful to you for your instructive and entertaining tutorials. Keep up the great work.

Nice Video NS... IMHO, if I can, I want to add an advice when painting tools already 'mounted' on the tanks... Usually there is a free space between the tools and the tank body... I usually shift in pieces of a paper sheet in such gaps, so that any possible error, drop of paint, or trembling hand may cause not any harm to the underlaying surface of the tank... it's a very easy masking to protect the tank with not any harm for the model, no adhesive and... no cost...
