Make anti slip on Merkava & Abrams model tanks - VMS Hull Tex tutorial

[@ODGColornChrome]

This is awesome and the easiest way to simulate anti slip in my opinion! Well done!

[@Vmssupplies]

Thanks a lot, much appreciated! Chris

[@youngtiger1]

[@Vmssupplies]

Thanks a lot for your kind comment! Happy modelling, Chris

Użyłem dziś pierwszy raz i muszę powiedzieć że jestem pod bardzo dużym wrażeniem produktu. Super efekt 😃🤝🥇🏆

Dzięki Paweł! Pozdrawiam, Krzychu

This looks to be a excellent product, better than what I have tried previously, my only concern is this looks too uniform for Israeli vehi le as their anti slip seems a lot rougher, but I would like to try it on other vehicles, best regards from Australia, I will subscrbe to this channel..

[@Vmssupplies]

Thanks Les, glad you liked it, the aggregate is up to scale, we did measure it. We just distributed it neatly, this varies from tank to tank. If the grains were any bigger that would translate to a plum-size stones on an actual vehicle. 😉 Happy modelling Chris

Very informative. Great video. Thanks.

[@Vmssupplies]

Cheers mate!

[@Hey_MikeZeroEcho22P]

THIS Is Great!! Thanks for the posting! I Do have a Merkava Mk1 from 'Tamiya' that I want to build, and JUST this month, saw some still pics of Actual Mk1 with intense anti-skid coating in EXACT same areas that You shown!!

[@Vmssupplies]

Thanks a lot for your kind feedback, the product is much fun to use, you will love the process! Chris

[@Hey_MikeZeroEcho22P]

@@Vmssupplies Oh, YES Chris....I do plan on purchasing VMS track weathering soln and This product as well. They LOOK good, and easy to apply both of those on my NEW built tank(s). JUST a Question.... once you place the aggregate onto the surface, How do you place back into bottle...OR ... do you just sprinkle the access from tray onto the tank itself??

[@stigmautomata]

I know it's essentially cement and sand, but I love the result

[@Vmssupplies]

Yup, but not just some cement, this is specially formulated to dry slowly so you end up with flawless result, normal cement dries up quick and you end up with "bald patches", sand falls off easily,you can try it yourself. People have been struggling with creating anti-slip for ages but no more, with this it's perfect every time. Our sand is also up to scale, can't find it in stores unless you can grind it yourself. Happy modelling, Chris

[@ej123a]

i like this! but cant find this product or in amozon.

[@Vmssupplies]

Amazon is garbage when it comes to listing and offering modelling goods. Boy, the hoops they make you jump to list an item are unbearable. We recommend eBay or model stores, they have it all.

[@artzen1040]

Is it suitable for 1/48 models or the grains would look too big?

[@Vmssupplies]

Hello, may be a tad off, but you can check Hull Tex Air - much finer but different application process. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2nJZItvl9efi5Y

[@artzen1040]

​@@Vmssuppliesawesome, thank you, I will check it out!

[@Curiosity-NZ]

Could this system be used on model ships decks where anti slip is used on the real ship?

[@Vmssupplies]

I don' see why not. Soon we will also publish the finer, airbrushed, version of the product in case somebody si doing smaller scales. Happy modelling, Chris

[@gary851]

you have something for 1/16?

[@Vmssupplies]

Hi Gary, what model do you have in mind? There is 2 types of anti-slip, 2 grades.

[@gary851]

@@Vmssupplies its for 1/16 abrams so smoother than merkava.

[@Vmssupplies]

If this is as smooth as on a Stryker - factory applied, then normal Hull Tex will work. If field modified the more grit will be needed. Please send ma a reference photo to [e-mail] I will advise based on that. Chris

[@Nowayjose-z2r]

We called it non-skid in the Navy. Didn't matter if on the steps, ladder, flight deck, or Air craft. Non-skid...

[@Vmssupplies]

Thanks Jason, great input, I wish I knew earlier would have made the video better! Cheers, Chris

[@mikulas979]

Some color pigment in glue making it visible might be helpful...

[@Vmssupplies]

Yes that's a great idea! Cheers, Chris

[@witchywoman165]

This stuff is the best product for this purpose. The mig paste just does not produce great results like this.

[@Vmssupplies]

Cheers! Much appreciated! Happy modelling, Chris
