A technique I've used before with fair success is using material attached to a wooden dowel to make impressions like canvas. You need a material with fine small weave patterns depending on the scale.

[@wolfiewolfmeister8195]

great video. You can get a superfine fabric like silk and press it into a sheet of putty and it transfers the weave pattern to the surface of the putty making the surface look more fabric-like rather than super smooth.

[@billd.iniowa2263]

Great for making burlap.

[@dennisbisconti4583]

Larger scale like 1/16 you can use facile tissue and you can use Gauls for camouflage netting this is what I do I like the larger scales myself personally great video tips

[@foabmoab]

Great tutorial. I'd love to see a follow-up dealing with how to make small boxes or containers someday :)

[@callenclarke371]

One of the best produced modeling videos I have found on KZbin. This is excellent presentation and excellent techniques. Well done.

[@shebadoge]

wow

[@vinnyhunt8756]

Just what I was looking for thanks

[@Scarebus_Driver]

Great video well done! Thanks..

[@davidcanetti2823]

AMAZING this guy is an artist

[@historybuff9276]

I love WW 2,I didnt know you had a modeling channel,when I 1st heard you talk I knew "that's Mark Felton".

[@raidbandit1283]

Sorry mate this definitely isn’t mark felton

[@DOP72740111]

Very interesting video! Thank you very much!✊✊✊

[@RobotJeeg]

awesome video!

[@igoruberwald]

I was looking for something similar - not on tanks though, but that doesn't matter, since all of these techniques can be used for other settings/models as well. Thanks for uploading.

[@harismpalatsoukas2777]

amazing thanks

[@quantumplastic]

Nice, Thank you/ obrigado

[@dr.doppeldecker3832]

I am currently building the M4A3 "Victory Kiss" from Meng, this tutorial is awesome. Very well explained, thank you very much:) Happy holidays!

[@njcivicwagon1]

Wow. Awesome video. Your an amazing talent. I really enjoy your how to's and reviews. Thanks for sharing these techniques!

[@scalewarmachines]

Thanks for the comments.

[@ElshanMammadov]

Bravo!!!

[@Duececoupe]

Another great video! 👍👌👏

[@Duececoupe]

Yip....had to come back and watch the video again, inspirational, educational and entertaining! 👍👌👏

[@damuses1452]

General purpose baking flour can also be used to prevent putty from sticking while rolling. Baby powder is presently being evaluated after being reported to be a cancer causing agent.

[@panzer-meister]

Excellent work. It's very nice and easy to understand tutorials.

[@scalewarmachines]

Thanks a lot!

[@johnkelley9877]

These are really good ideas! Thanks for sharing this very useful tutorial.

[@salazartankworkshop97]

As always your videos are so instructive with lots of new ideas a ways to do things better! Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!

[@julianholland7204]

Great vid ,I love the DIY style rather than after market .

[@scalewarmachines]

Thanks 👍

[@billd.iniowa2263]

Gonna have to try this in 10mm scale for my wargaming armor. I'm a little surprised you didnt use any water. I have to wet my tools regularly as the putty likes to stick to them. It will also help you shape smooth surfaces in it.

[@rickbarg3980]

I like to use paper towel dipped in a thin white glue wash, let dry in the oven on a low heat ,after dry ,airbrush then tie on model with a heavy thread, works foe me🇨🇦🇨🇦👍🏻

[@josephmilla2391]

Nice👍

[@7777leonhard]

Could be smoothed with water or some other agents ? So black milliput for hard, green matter for soft and Tamiya medium hardness ? Awesome video ! Great skills !

[@thegoodaussie1968]

its nice because he dose it like Mr maker dose it :)

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

👍👍👍👍

[@JohnSmith-zv8km]

These tanks must have stunk something rotten, nice ideas thanks.

[@fidinboca]

And the Oscar goes to...SWM.

[@taco6658]

Great video, also where do I buy aftermarket stowage?

[@scalewarmachines]

Value Gear, Black Dog, Royal Model or Resicast to name a few resin manufacturers. Mini art is good as a plastic manufacturer.

[@taco6658]

@@scalewarmachines ok thank you😊

[@CMANIM]

Looks like I'll be starting some Milliput modelling! I've been messing around with Green Stuff, but wouldn't mind that bit finer detail, so the superfine White Milliput will be coming in handy! I'll be getting some nice decorative pieces for playing Walking Dead All Out War

[@robertgraham1511]

I would like to see how to use the pitty for making or changing figurines clothing.

[@billd.iniowa2263]

Green Stuff is good for that. like he used here.

[@PatchGuilf]

Would these laser etch buckles work at 1:56 (28mm) ? Also what is the best for rope type fixtures? Simple thread or is there something better?

[@scalewarmachines]

At that scale they might be too big and so would most thread. Maybe try really fine fuse wire instead. Some of the buckles could work if on the smaller side and used for big bags and packs at that scale - but it may be just too small...

[@oentusiasta_oficial]

What product this is?

[@mikewood4242]

Can these be made,painted and weathered before being put on model?

[@scalewarmachines]

yes - just attach with white glue.

[@5thfjreenactor602]

What is the company and name of the first sherman model you displayed around 0:42

[@scalewarmachines]

It's a cross kitted Sherman. Tamiya M4A3 hull, Italeri M4A1(76mm) turret and then with scratchbuilt Milliput and plastic card sandbag armour. There's plenty of alternatives now so you don't need to cross kit. Tasca does one.

[@thecoilboyz264]

After the Milliput dries, will it need to be glued to the model, or will it bond to it?

[@scalewarmachines]

You're right to think about that. It's a bit of both. Milliput can bond to surfaces it is in contact with. That bond can sometimes be relatively strong - though you can usually "snap" stowage off the model with a bit of gentle force. If you want to remove it easily when dry and glue it later or if you don't want it to bond, use a barrier like cling film, foil or tape. Otherwise, it's just a case of prising it off and glueing with something like white glue.

[@thecoilboyz264]

Thanks for the fast reply, tips, advice, and all the great videos...

[@challengemfg.corp.4090]

will air clay work? since air clay cheaper than epoxy resin

[@scalewarmachines]

To be honest not sure - some figure sculptors use Sculpey which dries in the oven - so that might work?

[@challengemfg.corp.4090]

I attempt to duplicate your feat,but I found epoxy resin simple to sticky.

[@m1a1abramstank49]

what type of M4 Sherman is that?

[@scalewarmachines]

M4A1 75mm Wide hatch Ex-Duplex Drive swimming tank.

[@redpillscholar560]

Where to get the little buckles??

[@scalewarmachines]

Those are made by Aber of Poland and other etched brass manufacturers also market these little PhotoEtch accessories. Check out Aber's website for stockists in your country or order from www.historexagents.com in the UK/Europe.

[@redpillscholar560]

@@scalewarmachines Thank you very much sir. You are a gentleman and a scholar

[@luteroblau6955]

you looks younger

[@scalewarmachines]

It was first recorded 4 years ago!

[@dan-pi7wu]

How did they keep the stowage on the side of the turret in real life?

[@scalewarmachines]

They used tie-down loops which you can see dotted all over AFVs. The M8 had them on the turret.

[@dan-pi7wu]

Oh ok then I think I can see them on the greyhound

[@ethanrowland3671]

My tamiya putty is not going hard and i dont want to damage the bags while touching the model, how do i make it dry?

[@scalewarmachines]

Did you mix it properly, was it a fresh pack? It may never dry fully if it wasn't properly mixed. Maybe remove & try again?

[@ethanrowland3671]

Scale War Machines Oh thanks, i only use one of the colours, i did nit know they had to be mixed, thanks
