Model Chieftain Mk.5 - 1/35 Tamiya - Streaks and Pigments

[@simon26westlands]

Hi, I built this model many years ago but I am now going to buy another and make it again using your techiques. Thank you for uploading.

[@Big-Modeller]

That's quite a nice set. I'm glad those movies are of use to you :)

[@Spoif]

Fantastic. I really liked the way you used the pigment on the wheels and other lower components of the tank.

[@konradoN5]

Brudzenie wyszlo bardzo dobrze, będę się wzorować na nim. Czekam z niecierpliwością na kolejny odcinek Chieftaina oraz Karasia:)

[@Big-Modeller]

Dzięki :)

With all that rust it looks more like a T64 if my tank has been that rusty they would have marched me off to jail also your call sign 22 Charlie should be either on the commanders bin or the searchlight not on the bazooka plates 5th Royal inniskilling Dragoon Guards 83/91 Crewman gunner, chieftain tank. 😉🇧🇴🇬🇧

[@Big-Modeller]

I just tried to make my first tank model ;) I wish the Tamiya company had such knowledge as you have when they designed this model (and its instructions ;))

[@anyonecanroughit]

@@Big-Modeller any questions from anyone I will be happy to answer . I was also C'S ,11A , which was squadron leaders land rover driver ....happy to help

[@127TROOP]

Queens Own Hussars A Sqn, 3rd Troop, Gunner crewman, CS C31.....nearside track is on back to front too....and totally agree, would never see that much rust except on a range target, especially around the fuel filler caps....otherwise a good effort with the build and weathering!

[@stevenbreach2561]

And it's not a Mk5,wrong NBC pack,and a .50 ranging gun.Mk5 had a TLS.5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards,77 to 81,T32,"Cool for Cats"FTW🇧🇴.Tp Ldrs gunner.C/Sign is a "Batus"one,should be on the back of the basket,cmdrs side and small ones on the turret sides,otherwise ok👍👍🤣🤣😂

[@robkingston6204]

brilliant buddy..when is the next instalment?

[@Big-Modeller]

It's hard to say, but soon. I want to finish this model finally.

[@ROB3GUITARSLAURIE]

Very nice - im building one at the moment and find these videos very helpful . Did you forget to put the exhausts on ?

[@Big-Modeller]

Thanks, I'm glad those videos are helpful to you :) As for the exhausts, I didn't forget about them. You must have noticed that this model is not ready yet. There's no gun, crew, antennas and - exhausts too. There will be one more movie when I finish this model, but I don't know when. Cheers!

Dzięki, starałem się :).

will have my chieftain at Xmas, gift from wife so i have been researching these videos. What song is this?? same model kit from Tamiya. going to paint like the tanks i see on my WOT game but add more personal touches. great video and i have them saved.

[@Big-Modeller]

Have fun with your model :) The music title is "Pipe Choir - Adam are you free?"

[@greggo34]

@@Big-Modeller just picked up a 6 pack of testors acrylic camo paint.. bought at Hobby Lobby. i used buy the little bottles back in the 70's for 50 cents or less and now its $1.99 a bottle. The 6 pack cost only 5.99.. got some Mr cement also.. its thin with a brush.. Model building has changed so much in 50yrs. i have all of your Chiefatin vids saved, need to see what your primer looks like..Thanks for your help, i like the music also.

[@greggo34]

sherman Ez 8 that i got at a garage sale for $2.00 never been painted and its a 1970 Tamiya model with the motor in it. its a 1/35th scale.. M4 Sherman (motorised) US Army Medium Tank M4A3E8 Number: MT118 (Also listed as 18|30018).. going to sell it. I think i will post it as it is.

[@Juan-kk6kc]

I notice a different sheen to the model on this instalment. Did you re varnish the tank after the oil wash ?

[@Big-Modeller]

Yes, I covered the whole model with a matt varnish at the very beginning of this movie.

[@ArmourEmpire]

Nice results mate

[@Big-Modeller]

Thanks :)

[@DavidFraser007]

Nice job!!

[@Big-Modeller]

Thanks :)

[@hk_brit_fisher]

how to prevent dark steel pigment falling off, can't put matte varnish on it for obvious reason.... or it just won't come off

[@Big-Modeller]

My way of dealing with steel pigment is... not to touch it ;). You can try using a pigment fixer, but the result looks different than when pigment is not fixed.

[@lukefergusson9473]

I love watching you work I find it very relaxing, I was wondering what is the background music you use called?

[@Big-Modeller]

I'm glad to hear this :) The music is: "Pipe Choir - Adam Are You Free".

[@lukefergusson9473]

Big Modeller Thank you for responding, the music makes me feel very nostalgic for some reason I always wondered what it was called.

[@Big-Modeller]

That's how you find good music - you feel something :) Good news is - this piece is over 3 hours long :D

[@lukefergusson9473]

Big Modeller Thanks I'll be listening to it when I'm working on my next project the Revell 1 32 Fw 190 :)

[@Big-Modeller]

Nice it's 1/32 :D too bad it's Revell ;)

[@bazilmatthews9299]

The main paint work is far to shiny. If I did this I would have been told to repaint the vehicle

[@Big-Modeller]

Sorry.

[@Juan-kk6kc]

do you use an Alclad klear kote or a Tamiya TS80 ? for sealing model

[@Big-Modeller]

I used a Vallejo Polyurethane Matt Varnish.

[@jarekw1000]

Jaki pędzel był używany do rdzy?rozmiar i firma.

Wonderful! Thank you :)

[@princetonedgar3921]

i realize I am kind of off topic but does anyone know of a good website to stream newly released movies online?

[@brayanraiden6075]

@Princeton Edgar Lately I have been using FlixZone. You can find it on google :)

[@moseskendrick3965]

@Princeton Edgar i use Flixzone. You can find it on google :)

[@MarKoCustomBuildModels]

well done!

[@Big-Modeller]

Thanks :)

[@northdot9]

finally! Thanks.

[@Big-Modeller]

Sorry for keeping you waiting so long.

[@konradalexander7561]

How much time did you want for using white spirit after the grime?

[@Big-Modeller]

Maybe half an hour? You shouldn't wait too long with this solution.

[@hoangbaopham2206]

can it move?

[@Big-Modeller]

It could have been. It has a place for the engine, but you have to buy it separately. I decided to just make it a normal scale model.

[@hoangbaopham2206]

@@Big-Modeller wait, can it move the track without engine bro?

[@Big-Modeller]

Yes, it's made of rubber. You can move it if you wish, but I can't imagine why ;)

[@JedenSiedemDwa]

Super. Muszę się dokładniej zapoznać z tym filmem, a potem może znowu skleję coś pancernego...? ;)

[@Big-Modeller]

Pewnie, sklej :) Czołgi są fajne. Tylko teraz zrób jakiś duży w 1/35 :D.

[@jeanmarcgalzy7747]

Très beau travail mon ami et de bonne explication très intéressante pour moi Très beau modèle J adore ta vidéo je suis abonné de FRANCE 👍 Very good work my friend and good explanation very interesting for me Very nice model I enjoy watching your video this is a pleasure for the eyes 😎👍 I am subscribed of France And I would be proud to have you as subscriber too 👍

[@Big-Modeller]

Nice to have somebody from France around here :)

[@latteguy0345]

Finaly

[@Big-Modeller]

Yeah, it took me some time ;)

[@lumar0]

Piękna robota. teraz już wiem co robię źle... ;). Mam Chieftaina Mk. 11 z Takoma, już wiem jak go poprawie by był godny pokazania :)

[@Big-Modeller]

Tak z ciekawości, co w tym Twoim poszło nie tak?

[@lumar0]

Brak mu wykończenia, śladów eksploatacji brudzenia. Był to też mój pierwszy kontakt z farbami ammo, więc wyszedł wściekle błyszczący.

[@Big-Modeller]

Taki wściekle błyszczący model to dobra podstawa do dalszych prac. Także nic straconego, teraz masz przed sobą najfajniejszy w sumie etap prac :)

[@lumar0]

Wiem, ale jestem trochę wściekły na siebie, że mi nie wyszedł i czeka na półce na swoją kolej ;)

[@Juan-kk6kc]

Just goes to show how much attention I was paying :_(
