No-Pigments Mud Effects for Model Tanks (Part 1) -- Speckling & Texture

[@Bryan-cs9to]

Panzermeister36 I've watched many of your videos over the years and I must tell you that I can clearly see the progression and advancement in your talent and ability to express your intended results once done great work. Also you have helped this modeler of 35+ years (me) learn a thing or two as I'm sure you have done for the 1000s of modelers watching your excellent videos keep doing the great work spreading this wonderful hobby we all love and enjoy! Wish you nothing but continued success.

All Good ! Also, thank you for the Extra Clear speaking Voice ! Viewing/ listening from the P.I.

[@lordlorenzo5835]

Excellent video - clear cut information- Can't wait for part 2

[@HamilkarBarkasScaleModelling]

It's great how many different effects you can get out of a small selection of products and techniques!

[@Panzermeister36]

Thank you Michael. Adam misses you on Facebook :P

[@andrewshaw8396]

That little tank is looking fantastic - it's clearly had a hard life! Great inspiration, thanks, and a very clear demonstration. Good stuff! Cheers.

[@Panzermeister36]

Thank you, Andrew!

[@RollingThunderModels]

Great video! You are definitely one of my main sources for inspiration and techniques here on YT! The result looks great so far!

[@SanPistone]

Thank you so much for these guide! I'll watch the two parts more and more with interest!

[@Fred-cc8qb]

Real nice work. I’ve taken a few months off modeling building, but this wants me to get back at it. 👍👍👍👍

[@ArmourEmpire]

Very much enjoyed the vid. I really like doing dust without pigments. I think this stems form my early builds when I plastered them with pigment and ended up with overly dusty builds which all looked very similar and a little dull tbh. Really liked the way you created those effects

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Turning out great, loving this series of videos 👍

[@dave_jackson3043]

Absolutely outstanding. Very professional. Well done sir. Looking forward to part 2😉👍🤓

[@brokenplanet7948]

Regally nice work

[@lukeholsten1436]

Nice vid. I normally use pigments to weather, but this has some great techniques that I might just have to try...

[@Panzermeister36]

I fid them useful too, but also they can be frustrating when varnishes or just touching the model messes them up.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

FIRST?!

[@Panzermeister36]

+Night Shift you win the prize!

[@MrElliptific]

thank you

[@Panzerjager2344]

I like your weathering, but I have a question. What period of winter are you modelling. If it is in the middle of the Russian winter there would be very little mud and dust. If early spring then those effects apply. Just curious whenever I see modelers do winter weathering I always try to figure out the period of the season.

[@rickbarg3980]

Thanks for your info

[@pineapplesand556ers]

Keep the videos coming.

[@Panzermeister36]

I will try :D

[@MF-kv8cn]

hey what color would you paint the sdfz. 222 interior and suspension? im thinking German grey since the DAK camo was applied on route to Africa and they wouldn't paint the interior or undercarriage. i may be wrong. can't find anything with historical accuracy online? im thinking of getting a tamiya kit just trying to figure how to paint it first. thank you for any help you can provide

[@-51_51-]

Excellent vid, thanks for the tips, not sure why but I think I’ll finally get round to using my oil paints…

[@R.D.R.NIGHTINGALE]

Inspired

[@philray8297]

I'm thinking about using mig washable white, which seems to be an acrylic paint reactivated by water. The mig washable paints also come in various weathering colors. I see there is also an aqualine white. Are the Wilder aqualines and the Mig washable paints basically the same kind of stuff? Do you have thoughts on how they compare?

[@Panzermeister36]

I have used AK Interactive washable white before which is similar to the Mig AMMO stuff. They are not gouache like the Wilder product though, they are just normal acrylics that work a little different.

Крутое видео! Cool video!!

[@Panzermeister36]

Thank you!

[@thestyreneairforcemodeling600]

Very cool video

[@Panzermeister36]

Thank you, Alan!

[@justsomeamerican2301]

Can i do this effect exclusively with arcrylics

[@Panzermeister36]

+A fine Murican not really. You need effects that have slower drying times to allow for blending -- like the Gouache and Oils I used.

[@justsomeamerican2301]

@@Panzermeister36 ooooooooooooooooooffffffffffff Well thank you for the video i enjoyed it thoroughly

[@БрониславЧередников]

Amazing work!!! Can you tell about light dusting with airbrush,as a base or make some tutorial? Special thanks.

[@Panzermeister36]

I will try to show that soon :)

[@rickbarg3980]

Can you use arcrylic paints instead of oils

[@Panzermeister36]

Not really. They dry too fast and cannot be reactivated. They might work for speckling, but it's easy to mess that up and like I said, you won't be able to remove them like you can if you are using oils/enamels.

[@scaleartsg]

sweet!

[@brucethemodelnoob]

That Aquiline product looks great. Can you completely remove it if you make a mistake or does always leave a residue like dissolved pigments?

[@Panzermeister36]

I imagine it would leave some residue if you were to let it sit for a while (days) and then tried to remove it. But some of the streaks and stuff I did on the upper areas with the AquaLine I didn't like at first so I could just wipe off the streaks with a bit of water. This was maybe 5 mins after application, but they were very thin streaks so they were already dry.

[@BrailleScale]

Some great effects!! I'm trying to use more speckling these days after seeing all these different demonstrations

[@Panzermeister36]

I find speckling is very useful. Some guys use it for chipping, which I have not tried, but I might try on my Tiger soon.

[@anthonygunter4064]

Where can I buy Wilder paint product on line?

[@Panzermeister36]

You can't really anymore. Adam Wilder sold the Wilder company, a few years ago, to his Russian colleagues who already basically controlled the company. So the products are made and sold from Russia now, and due to the war in Ukraine it is now basically impossible to buy from Russia.

[@anthonygunter4064]

@@Panzermeister36 Do you have any extras to sell?

[@paulcharters5933]

Can anyone tell me what type of tank this is?

[@Panzermeister36]

+Paul Charters Hobbyboss T-40 Soviet amphibious light tank.

[@alehop333]

When is a 1:1 scale video coming? XD

[@krautreport202]

Only Problem: The Wilder stuff is hardly available outside North America.

[@Panzermeister36]

+KrautReport well I know for a fact that it's quite common in Eastern Europe. I'm sure you can order it. But like I said, a mix of paint and plastic of Paris would work instead of Textured Earth, an enamel product works the same as the Aqua Line (you'll just need a varnish), and artist's oils can be used without problem either.

[@jessicainsley1243]

yeah I had same issue BNA model world have some wilder but some out of stock but they said they will be getting new stock soon
